He isn't even in high tier as far as FF villains go so not much.

He can call in magic that'll destroy the earth. That's still low power in comic books, because comics went too crazy too quickly

Honestly, not well. If you can be defeated at maximum strength by a disgruntled pilot, one-armed man, talking animal, robot cat, teenage kunoichi, mutated goth/emo, titcow martial autist, and amnesiac, you're not going to stand much of a chance against people like Superman, Shazam, Wonder Woman, and Martain Manhunter.

If no, then he'd be high global tier. Better than Deathstroke by a mile.

>>78981257
Depends which version.

Crisis Core Sephiroth can cut skyscapers in half, FFVII final boss Seph is canonically the most powerful being we see in the FFVII canon, which includes Chaos and Omega. So, he's at least a planet buster.

Acting by himself, he's Hulk tier in offense because of how wide his sword can hit and they go through skyscrapers like a hot knife through butter. Defensively, he's spider man tier because of his enhanced reflexes and perception, but he has succumbed to stabs before, so his skin is human-like. With meteor, he's probably akin to Galactus.

He get's shit on.

Sephiroth at his peak could maybe be considered a planet destroyer.

Any High Tier Comic Characters in DC shits on him - hard. Superman, Martian Manhunter, any GL, Wonder Woman, etc.

He'd be a mid-tier villain, a genocidal maniac that the League keeps occasionally defeating - powerful in his own right but nothing they haven't dealt with before.

You don't even need to be a powerhouse to beat him. I don't remember Sephiroth having any defense against mindfuckery, so pic related beats him without lifting a finger.

I honestly want to say Vergil gets the shit kicked out of him if DT isn't allowed. Without DT he's presumably on par with Sephiroth.

Dante would crush though at his oldest and strongest (either DMC4 or DMC 2).

Vergil's only truly dangerous weapon he has per standard loadout is the Yamato.

Pretty sure people in the DC universe have guns.

So he'd be very, very, very dead.

Sephiroth/Jenova mentally compels Cloud at various points (Black Materia). Sephiroth himself has absorbed Jenova, so he has some degree of telepathy.

Sephiroth would fare pretty well on the single point that he's almost impossible to kill off for good. Nigger has died three fucking times. Jenova cells are a hell of a drug.

However, as far as Final Fantasy villains go, Sephiroth is mid-tier.

Ultimecia at her strongest is the top of top tier and capable of ripping apart time itself, with Cloud of Darkness directly below her and Neo Exdeath directly below that.
>>
>>78989759
Wow, is this bait or are you genuinely this arrogant and this completely fucking retarded?

Sephiroth comes from the Sephirot in Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, not the zephyr wind. How did you come to the conclusion you've made? Did you really never second-guess yourself or fact-check anything at all? I'm not even a weeb and I can't believe you posted the shit you just posted.

Since Materia works by drawing on memories and power from the Lifestream, would they no longer work in DC since it does not have that?
>>
>>78983604
Mutants have the X Gene, Inhumans are exposed to those mists. He has neither so no.
>>
If it's just normal body Sephiroth then a lot of his abilities come from Materia, and those will not work in DC or Marvel because there's no Lifestream there. Safer and Bizarro I am unsure about.

>>78983679
>Is his ultimate attack truly representative of what it shows?

The attack's gravity based and actually can't kill anyone with how gravity works in FF, no idea if that's translate into DC though. Plus I believe some source, maybe someone at SE or one of those Ultimania books I can't remember, confirmed that Super Nova is just an illusion to fuck with the party and you the player since he's at least semi-aware of you during the final battle.

>>78987407
That only works on people with Jenova cells. How much Jenova you need for that to work is unknown far as I know though.

>>78989853
Only reason he keeps on coming back is his will is so strong that his soul has trouble completely dissolving into the Lifestream. Now since DC does not have that I can't say if that would help or hinder his chance at resurrection. And technically he only died twice.

>>78992212
Sephiroth's the most powerful SINGLE person. But he went up against a team that was working well together and lost.

I think he is closest to the ever constant attempts by Marvel governments and corporations to make a supersoldier. Lots of heroes and villains are supersoldier attempts.

Sephiroth could be the latest attempt using magic instead of science. He has the augmented strength, speed, reaction, etc going on but not to JLA levels. He is one of those superninja street level types like Spider-Man or Deathstroke. Plus materia gives him lots of magic potential to stay in a fight with higher power individuals.

He is also part alien virus eldritch abomination thing that gives him crazy regenration, immortality, some weird mutant shape shifting.

With that I sort of want to put him on the level of like Mr Sinister. When facing street levelers or X-Men he is tough but half the Avengers could solo him. His lack of durability really hurts him when facing bigger hitters. A plain old sword to the gut does him in.

I guess I should have said that neither Marvel nor DC have the specific Lifestream that Materia, and I think magic in FFVII in general, needs to work.

>>78994321
Depends. Is it Exdeath's "consumes everything" or CoD's "abscence of everything".
Could be some sort of anti-antimatter universe, or maybe even an something akin to an Antithesis of the Source.

Exdeath may not be particularly deep or complex of a character, but it's just got such a fucking weird backstory that I love it regardless.
>>
>>78993834
>>78993911

Marvel has the life energy that Galactus technically feeds on when he eats a planet. Some worlds do not have it but worlds with lots of it has lots of different forms of life.

DC has several mystic fields connected to the planets. The Green is animal life, the Blue is plant life (I know it's reversed for some reason) and the Gray is death/anti life necrotic energy.

Grundy, Alan Scott, Floronic Man, Beast Boy, and Animal Man are connected to those and draw their powers from them.
>>
>>78994390

The Dissidia games draw a pretty clear distinction between the two of them, I think Exdeath and CoD actually have an argument over it at one point.

Given that explanation, I think it might be roughly equivalent to the anti-matter universe like you suggest. Or maybe even Limbo.

He'd do fine. He has some outrageous feats that would put him in a decent place within the DCU, and he'd never die given the company's nature. There's potential for a lot of crazy lore with him in the DCU, but repeated use of him would ruin it all.
>>
>>78994506

I haven't played FFIII so I can't really speak, but FFV's Void is an actual place that Exdeath comes from. Like >>78994403 explains, Exdeath's endgame with sucking the rest of the two worlds into the Void just brought them into his own domain.

I think.

Let's face it. Sephiroth would not do well. It's not even because he's not powerful enough. It's just that Sephiroth is a villain and depending on who's writing can be beaten by anybody. Even Alfred.

Especially Alfred.

It's why Kefka is better, he's basically Thanos. Super powerful but ultimately self destructive. Not saying Kefka is the most powerful FF boss but he could have been if he was further planning. Instead he went insane on esper power and caused their extinction instead of farming them. He destroyed the planet cause he thought it would amuse him, and it did. He then starts going and merging himself with any power he can find, like the statues.

I think you're getting the Void confused with the Rift. Plus Exdeath does not come from either of them.
>>
>>78994616
Yeah I was overselling Vergil.

But Dante at the of DMC1 and DMC2 is a physical God. He could do it in either his Sparda form or his Majin form.
>>
>>78994549
especially since Advent Children provided the perfect excuse to always come back, that his essence can create imperfect clones he can later possess.
>>
>>78994629

Kefka was basically committing suicide-by-adventuring party by the end of the game. He gained absolute power and still was so fucking bored and didn't find any purpose or point in destroying the world and fucking around with the people left on it that he goes about triggering ultimate destruction just for a change of pace.
>>
>>78994650
It's more of the fact that Vergil only has 3 fucking weapons in the ENTIRE series.

1 cuts holes in Space-Time. The other grants ultimate power when unsheathed.
>>
>>78994403
FF5 was just a new class system that had a plot attached to it. That's why you get weird shit like Exdeath's backstory and Gilgamesh.
>>
>>78994665

Damn you're right. Like I said, it's been awhile since I've played the game.

It may sound like bullshit, but even at peak, Dante just doesn't have the feats. His speed, power, and durability just can't keep up. Not that he isn't impressive, but Sephiroth is far beyond anything Devil May Cry has put out.
>>
>>78994888
Dante killed a guy that created an entire universe just so they'd have room to fight.
>>
>>78992309
the sephirot depicts the path through which man can connect to god
that made it vagueley appropriate for a game about a guy who tries to become god, but gets dragged down by a 'common' man
>>
>>78994947
He created a pocket dimension, which is different. Besides, that doesn't translate to destructive power. It's safe to say he sits at around Island level, which is not enough to compete with Sephiroth.

A recent retcon since one of the reboots lately.

Now the red is animal life and the green is planet life. Black is the Rot/death and the Clear is sea life.

Before it was green was animals and that was why Beast Boy was green skinned.

Grundy, Swamp Thing, Floronic Man, and Poison Ivy used to be all "The Blue" but now they and Alan Scott are the Green and Grundy is now the Black.
