Join me on an exciting journey through the guest fighters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate with a special focus on the iconic inclusion of Sora from Kingdom Hearts! In this retrospective, I'll guide you through the memorable moments and celebrate Sora's faithful transfer from the beloved Kingdom Hearts franchise to the epic world of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
As we explore the roster of guest fighters, we'll witness the incredible attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into Sora's design, animation, and moveset. From his signature Keyblade strikes to the heartfelt victory poses, every aspect of Sora's character has been meticulously recreated, capturing the essence of his Kingdom Hearts adventures.
Together, we'll reminisce about the excitement and anticipation that surrounded Sora's reveal, both for Kingdom Hearts fans and the broader Super Smash Bros community. We'll dive into the impact his inclusion had on the gaming world, uniting fans from different franchises and generations in a shared celebration.
Throughout the video, I'll provide insightful commentary and analysis, exploring the significance of Sora's arrival in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We'll discuss how his unique playstyle fits within the game's mechanics, and how his inclusion pays homage to the rich history of both Kingdom Hearts and Super Smash Bros.
Join me in marveling at the seamless integration of Sora's world into the Smash Bros universe. From battling on familiar stages inspired by the Kingdom Hearts universe to witnessing the stunning Final Smash, we'll uncover the subtle nods and references that make Sora's presence truly special.
Whether you're a longtime fan of the Kingdom Hearts series, a dedicated follower of Super Smash Bros, or simply curious about the journey of guest fighters in Smash Ultimate, this video is a celebration of Sora's inclusion and the love and care poured into his adaptation.
So, grab your Keyblade and embark on this retrospective adventure with me. Let's rejoice in the magic of Sora's faithful transition from Kingdom Hearts to Super Smash Bros Ultimate, forging unforgettable memories in the world of gaming

As someone who doesn't play smash very much, but is a mega mega Kingdom Hearts fan, I can't begin to explain how much it means to me to see Sora be recognized as good enough and iconic enough to be added as the lasy fighter. I still get teary eyed watching his announcement trailer. It just makes me beyond emotional. KH started because of a chance meeting, and the same reason got him into smash, I csnt think of a more perfect way to end it.

Sora was the only live reveal I was able to watch, the others got spoiled before I could see the trailers (a bit of a disappointment with Sephiroth and Minecraft Steve, those would have been nice to see live). I'm glad he was the one I saw live, I cried on seeing the Keyblade. Kingdom Hearts dictated my childhood, it was emotional and an amazing ride, even if 3 was a bit of a disappointment, but seeing Sora with that music... still makes me teary.

Kingdom Hearts is my all time favorite franchise/series and I was ecstatic, to say the least, when Sora was revealed as the final character!!! Long live Smash!!!

This is the most accurate vid I've seen of Sora and his moves' origins. Only inaccuracy was the eighth costume being attributed to Final Form from KH2 when it's actually based off Ultimate Form, the Form Change of the Ultima Weapon in KH3. Though, I understand the confusion considering Ultimate Form took clear inspiration from Final Form.

The fact that we got Sora, a Disney owned character, is still beyond me. (I'm sorry, anyone who still thinks that it's a joint ownership needs to read the copyright for the Kingdom Hearts series) That's also now two out of pocket companies that have a correlation with video games either in the past or present with Microsoft (Xbox Game Studios, got their start with Windows) listed when Banjo came and Disney (The now defunct Disney Interactive, despite still holding the rights to the KH series; got their start with old cartoons) when Sora came.

I would like to point out, square wasn't stingy with the ff7 content. Moreso the artwork and music for ff7 is a copyright lawyer's nightmare. I've found at least 22 different companies who own parts of the ff7 soundtrack. Sakurai even mentioned it during the sephiroth presentation. Rumor has it sephiroth was given to Nintendo at a discount to help afford the music rights (probably since the rumor of square being stingy was so rampant) I'd also like to point out Sora isn't the character owned by the most companies in smash. Even ignoring the ff7 music thing, Hero is actually the character owned by the most companies. Sora is owned by Disney(Nomura was only involved with sora's inclusion by request of Disney and not because Square partially own Sora, which isnt actually the case it turns out), but Hero is owned by square Enix, bird studio, and armor project. The insanity that is the dragon quest ownership made Sakurai think it'd be impossible to get a DQ hero initially. And like cloud we didn't get fully away since the DQ soundtrack is separately owned by composer Koichi Sugiyama (who was a genuinely horrible person by the way). I know this video wasn't focused on the copyright of these characters but personally I find it fascinating especially since the general public see it as an entirely different scenario

@Skuxxed 10 ай бұрын

I still would have preferred X over Megaman and the Megaman Zero games version of Zero as a character.

I didn't want him in the game, because that meant Disney getting their dirty hands on Nintendo. But it is what it is. At least he is pretty fun to use (not so much fun to play against though).

There’s No other character in GAMING that woulda got the reaction that Sora got. People actually CRIED out of happiness and hype. Dante, Noctis, Shrek, Goku wouldnt of gotten that reaction. Or any other whimsical stubby little Nintendo baby character

I’d rather have Super Smash Bros. Ultimate get the Mario Kart 8 treatment being carried over to Nintendo Switch 2 than for them to make Super Smash Bros 6.

Correction: Kazuya wasn't supposed to be the last character, that was Steven, which makes sense because why would they end the Smash DLC with 1st party character when they could end with friggin' Steve from Minecraft, who already broke Twitter when he was announced. But when they got Sora, they rearranged the slots so that Sora would be the last one.

"Putting in end to the greatest video game crossover of all time" Y'know, until it turns out Ultimate was Canon, and Sora woke up in the KH4 trailer after his trials in Smash came to an end. Wreck-It-Ralph is the link. Xehanort was Master Hand and Crazy Hand all along. He always dreamed of a world of equal Light & Dark and that's what happens at the end of Ultimate's Campaign Mode. Now Sora has to travel through Disney Properties AND Video Games. Animal Crossing replaces Winnie the Pooh.

People who didn't want sora in smash: People who have a brain and good taste in game franchises.(I'm one of those people) People who did wanted sora in smash: DISNEY HERETICS who have no taste for more interesting game franchises. (I'm sorry if some people find this offensive but this is just my Personal opinion)
