Sora Combos & Neutral Guide: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

[@NotBae]

Kingdom Hearts music is built different.

[@sethjoseph8152]

Hey Notbae can you please do an inkling elite smash ladder grind?

[@Gewrt]

It does hit different

[@knightlight8959]

true

[@SGalaxyify]

Just like this video

[@HinatadeiLaotaku]

Sora is one of the easiest characters to edge guard

[@DZlegend]

Excellent guide. Covered everything very well. This is actually the first week I've used a character besides Sora since his release just to mix it up a bit before I go right back to him lol.

[@danielw.2456]

You forgot to mention the most delightful feature of Sora's counter. It is the only counter that works on Banjo's Wonder Wing. Feels good shutting down Wonder Wing spammers.

[@captaintoad1408]

I parried and banjos wonder wing and then buffered counter for a kill to win the game yesterday. It felt great.

[@danielw.2456]

@@captaintoad1408 Nice!

[@skullman9216]

I did not know wonder wing was that op wtf

[@danielw.2456]

@@skullman9216 Indeed! Also i forgot i made this post. lol

[@EmeraldBlade98]

Yeah but no one plays banjo so who cares lol

[@Fr3Qi]

Okay but seeing some cool combos while hearing my remix made me a super hyped. Glad you liked the song enough to use it. And seriously great tutorial!

[@colinhay1666]

Amazing video as always. Here's a few more things I've discovered: Down throw also true combos into jab 123 at 0%. Down throw frame traps into Nair 2/3 at starting percents making it basically guaranteed. When going for IDJ Noops or Foops, it is best to hit confirm with a falling Nair 1 before initiating the IDJ loops. Otherwise, if you whiff an IDJ Nair or Fair you'll Sora double jump right above your opponent while in end lag, gifting your opponent a free hard punish. Down Tilt->Up Smash is not guaranteed if the opponent DIs correctly. Nair 1+2 fast fall->Buffered SH Up Air is a consistent, true kill confirm. Bair true combos into grab on the whole cast at low percents. Grounded Firaga can combo into grab and dash attack as well, and the shorthop Firaga connects into the side B ledge tech chases shown in the video. Single hit F tilt, Dash Attack, and Down Smash (as mentioned) all 2 frame quite consistently. A great combo at 0% is falling Bair, Grab, Down throw, Nair 1+2 FF (once or twice), Up Tilt, Full Hop Fair 123.

[@Trashley652]

There's one important thing about sonic blade you forgot to mention. If you're off stage, the lock on for the third attack will take you back towards the stage, rather than hitting your opponent. I couldn't be happier that Sora got in, he's been my dream character to end all dream characters for so long, and he's a perfect way to finish off the game, especially as the most requested character

[@Creepo_J]

Should note that d-air can autocancel from way up high which can be safe on shield

[@rcher3414]

Did anyone else notice that the music lines up with the back throw kills starting at around 23:12 ? So much effort went into this guide, man.

[@Creepo_J]

Idj is so easy to manipulate with this character because of his floaty jumps Always worth going for in advantage

[@CurtisJensenGames]

Holy holy this guide is amazing!! Too recommended was like “Um I can’t remember his third magic…” TRASH m’boy!! This video does such a great job understanding the pros and cons of all of his moves! And with excellent Kingdom Hearts music to go with it! Putting Dearly Beloved and a Disney quote at the end was just way, way more wholesome and heartfelt than I was expecting. It’s weird how much joy Sora brought just by being in Smash.

[@level0maid]

Just wanted to note here that up tilt can combo into fair for more damage and as a way to get them offstage to edgeguard rather than high up for a juggle!

[@antoniorodriguez162]

Whoa I’ve never even tried that, thanks for the tip

[@AGGSab]

Been waiting for more sora guides

[@banga8934]

Best Sora Guide ! Thank you !

[@elijahmims1928]

I love this series! It's so descriptive and well thought out. The flow makes it really easy to stay tuned and absorb the information. It would be so amazing if you did one for Pyra/Mythra.

[@Dailytrueevil]

Fantastic guide thank you!!!

[@LamboRambooo]

I've been looking for this forever good look

[@GamingBoy2026-tovc]

Nice.

[@dusty_carpet3359]

cool video!

[@bluejay7688]

What a great video!

[@TailwindNick]

What’s good NotBae

[@nathanmadox3364]

goated vid

[@SharonisCarin321]

Are you gonna do this for Kazuya and any others? Your guides are very good

[@cyandeoidre2375]

This helped alot

[@eanderson9599]

Do you think learning the fair/nair fastfall shenanigans is essential? Like compared to the peach float cancel combos

[@-sets-]

It’s really not unless you’re trying to optimize your play against highly skilled players. The main issue is that you lower your damage per successful interaction with your opponent as your combo game isn’t as strong, so it takes longer to get them to kill percent. However for most beginner to intermediate players, solid fundamentals can make up for this just fine

[@philch4598]

Could you do an guide for zelda?

[@fodv93]

Anyway of doing a guide for Luigi, Peach/Daisy, and Lucas?

[@chasedabacon7304]

yessir

[@DemonSlayerXVI]

But how do you do up special and then side special in one time in the air

[@bigtoblerone8446]

Now that all the characters are out and some have had nerfs and lots have had buffs, can we get a tier liat NB? id watch it even it you put it up in several parts for each tier like some content creators do

[@paver7070]

i really like this Font at the start of the video, anyone know what it is?

[@cautiousraven5427]

Has anyone got a more specific guide to naire 2

[@cookie_Dan]

grate vid, i'm tryna get good with sora and i am good but can you 1 v 1 me so you can tell me what i need to work on?

[@laneleach]

Is it just me or can Sora do very little to characters with super armor like Ganon, Bowser, and Sephiroth?

[@liamlikepotatoes]

Yeah, the best you can do is counter their bigger attacks.

[@mrturtle2170]

What's the difference from doing IDJ noops and foops from nair or fair loops. Like It's so much easier to do nair and fair loops so why do IDJ loops?

[@AstralAlpaca]

Did you find an answer?

[@markkelly4077]

forgot counter off stage

[@Lightless_Blossom]

I would like to see you cover Isabelle.

[@ivrydice0954]

When the counter is 1 frame slower than the video says: 😳

[@jaxvr]

Krro

[@mrjoestur5966]

Sora update kinda trash, only because there’s no KH1 Main Menu music, that shit was hard when I was 10

[@notcrown7911]

Why did thy make this

[@GamingBoy2026-tovc]

Sora is the best character in/on/from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in my opinion!

[@loganbulmer]

💀

[@DecentPerson101]

XD lol

[@specgraphixedustudent2964]

im commenting and im at camp lol
