The story of Nairoby “Nairo” Quezada has evolved quite drastically in the last year since the legend of a Super Smash Bros. time away from the creek.
The former fourth-ranked player of Smash Ultimate recorded an advertising reaction video for the revelation of Sephiroth’s surprise DLC in December 2020, and now he has finally managed to launch it with a strong reception coming out of the community. .
Sephiroth’s announcement came during The Game Awards last year, with Nairo watching the event with some friends from Discord.
He immediately managed to correctly guess that the fighter will be a Square Enix representative, with Dragon Quest Hero included in the trailer, although he didn’t hit it until “One Winged Angel” started making hype start to flow like a big Final Fantasy fan. .
The community’s response to the video made Nairo on trend again on Twitter, with many other players showing support for seeing professional content again, while others continued their efforts to remove the Twitch ban.
