Yeah I ignore tier lists and based assumptions on characters, I use who I like which explains Lili, Naotora, Ein, Phase, etc. who are considered the worst characters in their games although I use a few high or top tier characters but it's only fortunately and not intentional XD I do not give one fuck, just about their appearance. Also Is sephiroth considered a good character? I assume he is because of his range
You say you ignore tiers but asking if Sephiroth is a good character? heh.
Anyways to answer your question, Sephiroth was always good, top 10 character in fact going by Dissidia Forums. However he was considered as a hard character to play with along with Gabranth and ExDeath. He's more towards the reward factor for being difficult to play (However in my opinion, I feel he was easier to play with). In Dissidia you'd have to already know how to play the game to give mama's boy a whirl, but because Dissidia is now officially a team-based game no one truly knows how he will fair up against the cast until people actually try the game or even new changes. More players in a match increases the difficulty of the match much higher, therefore harder to determine who sucks or who doesn't because your buddies can carry you whether you are having a hard time or not.
But from the looks of the recent arcade videos, it doesn't seem like any of them are bad.
He's easier to play, but he's nowhere near as good as he was in the patch he was released on.
They nerfed the range of his BRV attacks considerably, because even for a Heavy class character, he was dangerously close to being a Speed type with too much good range, which would've made him not fun to play. Now he's above average.
Shoot type characters like Terra, Mateus, Shantotto, etc. still give him a hard time.
Yeah, I heard he was nuts pre-patch. Too bad we can't witness it on hands heh.
