Imma say it right now, with the way a lot of KH fans acted, they didn't really deserve this, but it's good to see Sora in Smash

Well I'll be god damned... it actually happened folks. Just watch, you know that Nomura is going to make this canon somehow.

The power Sakurai has, he was able to negotiate with Disney to get Sora in Smash Bros.

The inner Kingdom Hearts fan in me is over the moon. The minute I heard that music I wanted to tear up in joy even though I can hardly do that these days. Sakurai deserves the best kind of rest after this.

Poor Donald and Goofy getting shafted though, I knew Disney would throw a catch into it.

Haven't visited these forums in years, but came out today to exclaim how exciting this announcement is!!! Voted for Sora years ago, never thought he would make it in the game; & nonetheless be the most popular vote! So sweet

 

[Zettaflare]

Awesome. And I love that his player options are his different appearances in the series. Also while I get why it had to happen I kind of hate that Donald and Goofy were removed from his Station of Awakening, lol.

He looks phenomenal. Just from the overview, it seems the team put a ton of work into making him feel special. I’m pumped to try him out

Timeless River Sora is the most bizzare thing about it, since it's a costume related to a Disney world.
Hollow Bastion as the stage is what I always wanted to see. You can see the castle Gates, Great Crest, and High Tower areas all merged and seamless.

The low track count is a shame, but I'm still freaking out about this whole thing. A very great end to Smash Ultimate.

I don't play smash but that was amazing. Even I was rooting for fellow KH/Smash fans to get their Sora4Smash dreams come true.

Time to finally retire Melee as my primary SSB game

The best part of any new fighter is the Kirby hats!
