Sephiroth's biggest weakness is he constantly lets people play though. He's either not a man of lethal efficiency or would have to be much weaker than he appears, based on the fights put up against him by others. I'd lean towards cockiness, because that's his downfall every time.

Though I still think Bass outright has better movement speed, and it's all aerial and on a ranged fighter. He plays a great keepaway/suppression. Also Kan is right in that the only way to beat him is basically time stopping, even when you don't go with the tile-teleporting speeds, he's got stuff like this:

Constant afterimages, moving really fast, and over half of this overly specced out fight is him freezing time just to hit him.

Or this one, which is even faster and where instead of freezing time, the guy's using tons of invincibility and ultimately just reducing Bass's movement area (which is definitely a gameplay mechanic).
