Nintendo revealed that Sephiroth is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate last week and just today the team showed off more of what he brings to the fighting game. From different moves to different looks, Sephiroth is bringing some serious stabbing energy into the Switch staple but he’s not just a gift because of his character. No, his shirtless varient is a gift because of the memes.
Many took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the latest revelation about Sephiroth in Smash Bros. Ultimate, and while I won’t share my own due to some not-so-safe-for-work language, I can at least share some of the others that made me smile:

OK, before I completely fall into the endless pit of Shirtless Sephiroth images, that’s definitely not all fans have to look forward to when trying him out. From a more classic style variant to his familiar combat style, Sephiroth makes for a fierce opponent when looking at the current Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster.
