Alakazam paralyzes, and keeps a substitute up. Sephiroth will be too sluggish to be effective and can't status through the substitute. Alakazam can confuse him ontop of this while firin' off charge beams and psychics, too.

Magic advantage? That's not even an advantage, that's a different power source. Reach? Lolwut? Alakazam attacks from a distance with his mind. Durability? Neither one has much in the way of feats for this, so you can't claim that.Alakazam paralyzes, and keeps a substitute up.

Substitute only works on dumb animals. Sephiroth won't go after the scape goat. Alakazam gets hit by Deen and Pale Horse and Sephiroth stabs him to death.

Alakazam is too fast, and behind a substitute, that won't work. Also, Sephiroth gets promptly paralyzed and confused.

Substitute is Scape Goat. Sephiroth isn't dumb. Lucario would figure Substitute but doesn't do it in gameplay.

You're still inventing shit. You have to break the substitute to be able to attack Alakazam directly. Incidentally, by then, Sephiroth is already paralyzed and getting speed blitzed.
That's game mechanics like Tail Whip and Growl.
Sephiroth won't get paralyzed since Alakazam will be hit with Pale Horse and Deen.
