I know that Link can fight spiritual beings. I don't think Sephiroth has any feats relative to that, and unfortunately in the GoW verse spriits seem to take on physical form with the exception of Hades' Souls. You know more about Deathwing than I do, so I won't argue that point, but it was concluded in another thread that he would win in a one on one fight. So, it seems he has some way to fight the Lich King?
The Lich King does not become spiritual, he enters the spiritual realm. Which means he is invisible to anyone that does not have the ability to see between realms.
When it comes to Deathwing, what happened during War of the Ancients was that Malfurion snuk into his lair with intent to snatch the Dragon Soul. Because he knew Deathwing would detect him if he entered physically, he chose to enter through the Emerald Dream. Unfortunately for him, Deathwing proved himself capable to see into the Emerald Dream and Malfurion treated this as if Deathwing also had the capability to harm him inside the dream.
How this would differ from Lich King, is that Deathwing is one of the dragon aspects. Ysera is a fellow aspect and because their time as so called partners, it could be that Deathwing has simply learnt to gaze into the Emerald Dream. Deathwing himself has never encountered Arthas and for all we know might not even know how to see Arthas go into the realm of spirits.
If he leaves the physical plane entirely, can he actually fight from the spiritual realm? Or is it an overlapping sort of plane, like the etheral plane?
In any case, it leaves a similar number of characters who can potentially fight him. I'm unsure how to interpret the case of Deathwing now though. I'll wait for Q' to make a call on that one.
You're all missing the point here. Supernova hits whatever Sephiroth targets with it with all the energy of a real Supernova, it doesn't cause an actual Supernova. And it hits it's opponent with enough power to break down dimensional barriers, it's not that most of it's power is in another dimension, it's that there is so much power that it spills over into other realms.
As for the spirit thing. Sephiroth's sword is made of nothing but spirit energy so I fail to see how it would,kt hit Lichy in spirit form.
Sephiroth vs the Lich King is actually a really neat fight, thr ruler of the spirit realm vs the man who made the cycle of life, death and spirit recycling his ***** through sheer force of will.
Thing is in FF7 and FF fictions depicting Sephiroth, spirit energy technically counts for lifestream which is like an actual physical energy source. Everything is made up of the lifestream including peoples "souls".
And all Sephiroth did was infect the lifestream thanks to Jenova. It wasnt a force that could act against him like the LK can.
Read The Case of The Lifestream: Black. Sephiroth is very capable of living in, manipulating, and even attacking the physical realm from FF VII's spirit realm. He would not only be able to see LK, his blade is made up of nothing but spirit energy so he could even attack him while he was trying to hide.

What support is there to these claims of yours?
And if his sword is nothing but spirit energy, what prevents the Lich King from consuming it?

The 10th anniversary FF VII Ultimania says it has the power of real Supernova,
No it doesn't.

There's the 10th Anniversary Ultimania for anyone who wants to read it. All it says on Super Nova is what we see in the actual animation. It's just describing it and nothing else.
The fact that we see Sephiroth materialize his sword from spirit energy in AC/C proves it is entirely spirit energy, and his will would prevent it's absorbtion. With nothing but willpower he's defied death twice, reconstructed his body, and held back the world's most powerful white magic
Also, yeas it does hit with all the power of a supernova, go read the 10th anniversary Ultimania.
Now all you gotta do is show how fast the move is.
Because power really doesn't mean much if you're a helluva lot slower than you rpponent.. Even Goku at his best doesn't have the power of a supernova yet a worthless character like Krillin would own Sephiroth due just to speed.
And that sounds a lot like the Naruto databook claiming the Uchiha *** flame is as hot as the sun. Just sayin'.
