    I may not have played or watched anybody play the Kingdom Hearts games but even as a watcher from the sidelines I can comprehend the absolutely legendary and colossal weight that this reveal trailer carries. Sora wasn't just a pipe dream, he was an impossibility. A one in a million chance of him getting into SSBU would be a generous ratio and we all have Sakurai and the entire Smash Bros team to thank for this gaming achievement. Characters like Ridley, Simon Belmont, and King K. Rool made us think that "any" character could make it into Smash Bros, as if bringing back all fighters from previous Smash games wasn't enough. But then fighters like Joker, Banjo and Kazooie, and Minecraft Steve were revealed and made us truly believe that ANY fighter could make it in. Sora is so significant because he doesn't just make us believe that any character can make it in, he PROVES it.

    Just rewatched this, and I only having one thing to say... when people think of fighting games, they normally think of Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter, and ALL of these other majors fighting games. But none of them are more amazing and special than Smash Bros. This game, this franchise... went above and beyond to bring us characters from major games from major companies, and made our dreams become a reality. This game went and took the liberty to negotiate with major companies such as Microsoft, PlayStation, and FREAKING Disney, and gave us amazing characters. We live in a timeline where we can play as characters like Banjo, Sans, Cuphead, Steve, Doomguy, and now Sora, all in one game. Sure there have been some characters that people may not have liked, and those who will be upset that Waluigi is not a fighter, but you know what... this game is perfect either way. Because this game had one thing that most other fighting games may not have... ambition. Ambition to jump through major hurdles to give us an incredible game. And for that, I say... Thank You Masahiro Sakurai, for giving us a wonderful franchise.

    Everyone.
    Sakurai said that demand for Sora being in Super Smash was taken note of [since the fighter ballot for Super Smash 3DS and Super Smash Wii U years ago].
    Much of Sakurai's relief for Sora getting into Super Smash must be because they would've had to keep Sora's inclusion into Super Smash Ultimate a secret from the beginning of production, until the time for the final DLC reveal.
    Keeping a secret for that much time is often not very easy.

    I love that this trailer makes Sora’s appearance a celebration.
    It starting with a reference to the first Smash Ultimate trailer but with everyone there and then the symbol dissipating with one flame falling on the ground. Then everyone is turned to statues when it goes dark but Mario is the only one reawakened by the fire. He slowly walks to it wondering what will happen then finally, after hesitating for a few seconds, thrusts his hand to it and launches it. Then when the spinning object is shown in slow motion you can see the end of it a little to make out what it is. The second after that it shows the Mickey keychain to remove any doubt who the final character is. It stays in midair shooting the keyhole beam releasing Sora into their world, awakening everyone else while the into music to the first Kingdom hearts game plays.
    It’s so poetic that the most requested character ever for Smash Bros. is the final reveal for this game. Having every other character there to witness him coming in and bringing them all back to life is so epic. Sora is not only another game representative, he’s a Disney representative. Nintendo and Disney have now collaborated to make this game the most ambitious crossover in fiction. This one character means so much to so many people and Mr. Sakurai is legendary for making this happen. He knew that Sora would be the best choice for the final character in order to finish this game with a blaze of glory.?And it is the most glorious blaze I’ve ever seen. Disney, Square, HAL, Nintendo and the visionaries responsible for Smash Bros and Kingdom Hearts, Sakurai and Tetsuya Nomura, have made gaming history.

While I didn’t know anything about KH when Sora was announced, (all I knew was the meme of “story complicated”) I still respected the choice and was happy for Kingdom Hearts fans. Earlier this month, I bought the collection, and I now love KH 1 and 2 (Haven’t played 3 yet, and I didn’t play any of the games in between). I love the games, and love this reveal even more. Smash really helps people get into new games and have them try things they never did before. Thank you Mr. Sakurai.

Even I know this is a freaking masterpiece! A character that’s been asked to be in the roster by thousands of people for over a decade, finally made it on as the final character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. And at this point, I have just one thing to say…
    *Thank you, Sakurai*
    You’ve put your heart and soul into a fantastic game series and have been doing it for over 20 years. You gave us so many great memories and the masterpiece that is Smash Ultimate. The blood, sweat and tears that went into this game is seen, and we thank you for every bit of it. While not every DLC character was a hit for some people, you gave us legends *coughs*Steve!*coughs*. You gave us a wonderful gift through this game and all of it’s characters. Finally, after all of this time, you can rest now, my friend.
    From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you from the edge of the world and back, for all of the work you put into this game. And we hope to see you again, someday.

    The fact that Disney let them have the Mickey Charm on the end of the Keyblade is a miracle in of itself!!!

      Disney does not own sora lol he’s square enix which is the same company that owns final fantasy so it makes sense he’d be in the game since cloud is in it
