[EM] SSFC is attainable only if an existing candidate needn't win.

If offensive order-reversal is used, there's no way that any method can
identify the CW, or know whilch ballots are sincere and which aren't. Though
the majorilty referred to in SSFC's definition votes someone over the
reversers' candidate, the reversal creates a majority who vote someone over
the CW. No method can, with perfect reliability, identify the CW, or
distinguish hir from the reversers' candidate.
So SSFC is unattainable if it's necessary that one of the existing
candidates win.
I'd hoped that multi-level nested combinations of NES, &/or SA, &/or DSV
could accomplish that, but maybe such combinations could have other strategy
advantages. If I say "NES,SA,DSV combinations", I'm referring to the ones
that I've mentioned in this paragraph.
