Everything about the Sephiroth DLC in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is hype. We finally have more Final Fantasy songs after the disappointing 2 on Midgar, Northern Cave is an excellent homage to a classic, and the big bad even got his own limited-time boss fight for early access.
A lot of the consistent excitement during updates centers around patch notes and balance changes, especially for the more competitive crowd. Top tiers get nerfed and some even get better, while less viable low/mid-tier fighters receive some much-deserved boosts to frame data, damage, and other key attributes.
