Scintilla is Sephiroth's down special move. It is a counterattack that can also act as a standard move.

Overview

Sephiroth creates a barrier of cyan hexagons in a "honeycomb" pattern in front of himself, which forms into a cloud of damaging sparkles when the counter is activated. Unlike most counterattacks, the attack is triggered even if Sephiroth is not attacked, activating after a short time. When this happens, the move strikes at minimum power. The move also cannot counter attacks that deal more than a certain amount of damage; the barrier instead breaks, though Sephiroth will not take damage unless it was a multi-hit move. He is also vulnerable from behind. The move cannot reflect projectiles, but they will activate the counterattack on contact.

Origin

Scintilla was a technique that originated in the Dissidia series of fighting games as one of Sephiroth's HP attacks. When triggered, a barrier would briefly appear in front of him to block forward Bravery attacks before striking the opponent with a thrust of his Masamune, dealing several hits of Bravery damage before smacking them away with one final hit. Sephiroth would still attack even if he had not blocked an attack prior. It later appears in Final Fantasy VII: Remake as one of his attacks, though now lacking the barrier.
