As a result, Winged Form is generally lost quickly after getting a KO, unless Sephiroth is at a disadvantage. Likewise, if he was given 100 points (one stock behind), they are reduced to 50 by the KO, then to 40 by the new stock/score difference, causing Winged Form to deactivate with at least 133.4% base damage dealt. For example, if Sephiroth was given 90 points (equal stocks) and KOs the opponent without dealing any damage, they are reduced to 40, then again to 15 with the updated stock/score difference (one stock ahead, which would grant 65 points), so dealing at least 50% base damage will deactivate Winged Form. In addition to this, the amount of points after a KO is changed dynamically based on the new stock/score difference. For each respective stock/score difference case, all points are lost if Sephiroth deals up to 366.7%, 333.4%, 300%, 216.7%, and 166.7% base damage.This ignores all damage modifiers, including stale-move negation, the 1v1 multiplier, or Winged Form's own multiplier. Attacking opponents reduces points by an amount equal to 0.3× of the damage dealt, or 0.15× in battles with multiple opponents.Points are lost via the following conditions: Afterwards, these points can be lost, and Winged Form deactivates once Sephiroth has no points remaining (or if he gets KO'd, which removes all points alongside Winged Form). From two stocks behind to two stocks ahead, this corresponds to 110, 100, 90, 65, and 50 points, respectively. Upon activation, a set amount of points is granted to Sephiroth depending on his stock/score difference with the opponent, once again with five possible cases. Overall, the ability favors Sephiroth being at a disadvantage, with more drastic changes in percent compared to being at an advantage.įor deactivation, Winged Form follows a system of points. The following table shows examples of how the activation percents for each stock/score difference change with the opponent's percent (assuming it remains static for each case). The following table summarizes all the percent ranges at which Winged Form can activate in a 1v1 battle, based on Sephiroth's stock/score and percent differences with the opponent (the latter which is marked as diff, with a positive value meaning Sephiroth's percent is higher). As a result, the specific activation percent follows a highly intricate algorithm, and is difficult to determine precisely during matches. Generally, it activates earlier if Sephiroth's percent is higher than the opponent's, and later if the opposite is true, though the specific ranges are noticeably different for each of the five stock/score difference cases. In addition to these two factors, Winged Form's activation percent can be varied further by the difference between Sephiroth and the opponent's percents prior to getting hit. Stock/score advantage and disadvantage are both capped at two for the ability's activation, leading to five possible cases: Sephiroth having two stocks/points less than the opponent, one less, an equal amount, one more, or two more. More specifically, Sephiroth's danger status is determined not only by his damage percentage after getting hit, but also his current placing in the match if he has a stock or score advantage, his Winged Form will activate at later percents, whereas if he has a stock or score disadvantage, it will activate at earlier percents. This really really really "Wow'ed" me and lotsa people.A graph summarizing the possible activation percents for Winged Form in a 1v1 match, top to bottom from two stocks ahead to two stocks behind.Īs stated by Masahiro Sakurai, Winged Form activates when Sephiroth is "in danger". That or the villainous aura that made me back out a little because I was scared. God, I still regret the fact that I wasn't able to get a more decent shot of his cosplay! Let's say he was oozing with loads of Sephy hormones that rendered me totally incapable of moving a little closer. Others were either blurry or not cropped properly. But this is the most decent one I have among my stash. No thanks to my almost nonexistent skillz, no amount of justice had been given to the epicness that is this cosplay. I'm so sorry for the horribly-taken photo my lack of skills is to blame. THIS HAS GOTTA BE THE EPIC-EST SEPHIROTH I'VE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Thank you, thank you, thank you! This makes me so happy, really REALLY!) (edit: Thanks for all the faves and comments! I never expected this to exceed 10, actually.
