I really love Sora's win poses because not only are two of them references to the KH1, they're also references to Cloud and Squall's win animations in Final Fantasy (which is a hidden level of cute because he only starts doing that after he's met both characters)
Two things: One, when Sora holds another weapon, he’s in the same stance as Valor Form from KH2. Two, I believe Sora’s third victory animation is closer to something he does in KH3 rather than the summon animation.
When sora is put to sleep, he takes the same stance he has when losing a round in the calloseum. When using his up throw he tosses opponents like when he uses an item.
@@LinkMaster5555 but then it wouldnt be like in the actual games at least in the beginning, you could only block attacks in front of you for alot of them but some had some sort of upgrade for the block to block from all sides (like 358/2 Days, aka the DS Game where you play as Roxas)
@@marcjehle2480 Sora actually does get Barrier guards in KH3 with some form changes, so it isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could have a 360° Counter in Smash. I know his moveset is largely based on KH1 and 2 but seeing as he has Magic Flash, KH3’s in there too. Though I suppose the Shield could be considered his barrier seeing as he holds his arms and keyblade in front of him like he’s using Reflect when shielding
One thing I love about Smash is that the moves and animations are so one for one that at this rate it feels like you’re just playing their original game. Choosing a character is like choosing what game you wanna play, and that game then just overlaps with another game someone else is playing, while simultaneously being able to hit each other. It’s so awesome. Like I can play Minecraft in Persona 5 or Metal Gear Solid in Kingdom Hearts and the list goes on and on.
Sora hitting people with the guard of the keyblade when he's grabbing them.... that just looks painful. In fact, let's be real, the keyblade is probably one of the most painful weapons in gaming. Sure, it's not an actual blade and you certainly can't stab anyone with it, but it's basically a glorified lead pipe. You could definitely bust some ribs and skulls with that thing.
If you pick up and sword, is the same animation than valor form. And when you pick heavy creates, he use the exact same animation in kh1 when you pick up a giant crate
Really love your origin series, Nintendo Unity! I really love Sora’s moveset, considering that this WAS our imagination turned real by Sakurai, and it feels really good to see an origin video of that.
Sakuri really went all out to make Sora be the most well designed character in smash for his final character before retiring. I’m not gonna say best or top tier, yet, but definitely the most well designed in terms of moveset origins, Easter eggs (yes I’ve seen the beam sword memes), and hell one his alts had different facial expressions. That’s what I call a sendoff.
Sora could have been so busted if they used his kh3 moveset. Forward smash could've been last charge, neutral air could be aerial dive, down smash could've been explosion, etc. I also would've preferred an ars Arcanum final smash but I should just be grateful he's even in the game
Ragnarok would have been SO much better than just giving him another cutscene for a final smash. Literally everyone in the dlc (sans plant) has a cutscene final smash in some form and I hate it.
So: 1. The third winning animation is based on the KH2 keyhole closing animation i think 2. Thundaga is based on Kingdom Hearts 358/Days' thunder 3. When Sora holds a sword he has the same animation as when he's in Valor Form 4. The entire magic command thing where it goes from one spell to the next is based on Birth by sleep's/coded's/Dream Drop Distance's command deck i think Everything else was accurate tho
Unpopular opinion: BBS and DDD are mistakes that never should have been made and are the main reason the story is unsalvageable. Their gameplay is shit and their story is even worse I don't get why people like them besides it being a KH game
But only to thunder, thundera was basically electro rain and Thundega was basically one singular strike (sorry if the names were incorrect, i am german and the have translated names in german versions)
Happy he was added. I would have changed a few moves though and used his KH2 model. Forward smash should be guard break. Up smash should be Ripple Drive Down smash could’ve been explosion but I like leaping finish too. Neutral b could’ve been strike raid but idk how they’d fit magic in.
the move when sora twirls the keyblade above him is more like the reaction command against pete in timeless river in kh2. its when u are tyring to retrieve the cornerstone of light and need to send object flying back at him

now that all the DLCs have finally arrived, a video of "which is the projectile with the most distance in the game", or "which is the most powerful projectile"
The final smash reminds me of when he closed the door after beating Marluxia Credit where credit is due I think this is the most thorough video on his moves
the nair version of soras 3 hit combo is based off kingdom hearts 2 and the fair version is based off kh1 with the second hit being a reference to dream drop distance
If you read comments. think you got demonitized for reuploading trailers? Not every youtuber could get away with doing this.. and you might of been targeted. Do you reuse the same clips from your older videos?
Shoulda been voice clips corresponding to which Alt you used, like using the KH1 Alt would use KH1 voice clips, etc. I would have loved the Timeless River Alt having the old-timey voice clips from KH2FM
Now that Sawyer is it super smash brothers ultimate will see if he’s as strong as his rivals Shulk(Xenoblade Chronicles), Link(Legend of Zelda), Pit(Kid icarus Uprising) and Cloud(Final Fantasy )
Some of these are wrong. Like his side smash is not an uppercut like the move in KH. It looks more like his generic combo finisher. And his taunt when he twirls his keyblade is from one of his summons, not the Cloud victory pose.
Hey folks. You should make Sora hold a sword or bat in smash. He has the exact same stance like valor form in KH2.

@@uzikarina I believe so, yeah. It’s hard for me to really nail it down.
I thought it was when he deals a keyhole in KH2, but he does that pose so many times, it can be glossed over. Lol.
The third victory animation is correct. Watch closely how he moves the Keyblade and he's doing the same stance when he summons Simba.
That actually originates from the ddd opening
I love Sora's references to FF7 and FF8 in his win poses.
When sora is put to sleep, he takes the same stance he has when losing a round in the calloseum.
When using his up throw he tosses opponents like when he uses an item.
The way Thundaga works in SSBU is taken directly from 358/2 Days where it’s in a straight line rather than KH1’s scattered attack
Ive seen people say they shouldn't have given him a counter, when he's one of the only characters to utilize a counter in his original gameplay.

Disagree. Super Clash Bros is like that.

Maleficent did say the keyblade can multiply the wielder's strength 1000 fold early in kh1. So I'd say the thing is pretty deadly
I like playing Sora, He is my main in the game now
Was? Well that's sad. I though he is.
"is"
@@asra-5180 No, He IS my main in the game. Sorry

@@champthephantomthief793 yea but they’re keeping the Disney references to a minimum so don’t expect Disney characters

The problem with that is that it's KH1 Sora. KH1 Kairi never touched a keyblade for battle.
that og Sinister Sundown ost def should've been in Smash
If you pick up and sword, is the same animation than valor form.
And when you pick heavy creates, he use the exact same animation in kh1 when you pick up a giant crate
To be honest in my opinion the best Sora is KH2 Sora hands down an I still happy that he had made it in Smash.
I like sora the best in KH3 ReMind but KH2 is a close second
My personal favorite version of Sora will always be KH1!
It's a close tie between 2 and 3 for me.
Even though I'm not a Kingdom Hearts fan, I love the attention to detail, especially the KO effect during HP battles
I think his forward smash is actually closer to his regular finisher in KH1
It should have been guard break
no joke i expected you to cut to smash flash at some point

Final smash could've been the ultima weapon shotlock
If Disney and Square weren't too stingy, they might've given him more voice lines. I'm still glad with what we got

Literally everyone in the dlc (sans plant) has a cutscene final smash in some form and I hate it.
So:

2. Thundaga is based on Kingdom Hearts 358/Days' thunder
3. When Sora holds a sword he has the same animation as when he's in Valor Form

Unpopular Opinion: Dream Drop Distance is a good game
Is that an unpopular opinion? I don’t expect it to be at the top of most people’s list but I thought it was good.
It is a good game! Only the time travel stuff made it unnecessarily confusing. But besides that it is a good game.
I used to think otherwise but returning to it after 3, much better then I remember

@@marcjehle2480 it's Thundara and Thundaga
1:31-AKA, Sora’s final smash but 1000x more peaceful.

Well DDD is already his KH1 body lol
Happy he was added. I would have changed a few moves though and used his KH2 model.
Forward smash should be guard break.
Up smash should be Ripple Drive
Down smash could’ve been explosion but I like leaping finish too.
Neutral b could’ve been strike raid but idk how they’d fit magic in.
I think that the way thunder works in smash is more like how it used to work in 358/2 days xd
the move when sora twirls the keyblade above him is more like the reaction command against pete in timeless river in kh2. its when u are tyring to retrieve the cornerstone of light and need to send object flying back at him
5:00 that idle animation is from his KH1 Tinkerbell summon
If sora pick up a sword, he will hold it like he hold the two keyblades in valor form
Ya missed the walking animations ☹️ no one has noticed he has 3 variants as different movement References.
It has animations when walking, you just have to press slow.
I was expecting the final smash to be ragnarok or ars arcanum tho
I do find his final smash really cool. It reminds me of Holyangemons Havens gate.
Why not Z A N T E T S U K E N?
I abused ars arcanum in boss fights because of its invincibility...and also because unskippable cutscenes
Do you know what I just realized if Mickey was also needed to lock the door does that mean that Mickey and Riku just exploded
Yo mickey dead. Good.
His up b is more so based around his KH2 rising Aerial combos!
Came here looking for this comment. Definitely agree
What makes thunder so accurate is that it’s the same exact one from Re:Coded!
I've never played Kingdom Hearts, and this is interesting.
By technicality, the way Thundaga works in this game is exactly like 358/2 Days
Young Sora: Take THAT! HYUGH! HA!
Older Sora: Take THIS! HA!
Sora’s voice in Smash is obviously pasted on from the games.
If so then how come they couldn’t add Sora’s KH1 voice?
I guess they didn’t want Sora to sound young again despite using the KH1 Sora model, but at this point, I’m used to hearing older Sora as KH1 Sora tbh
Here's a challenge idea, The hang ten challenge. With only standard moves and an opponent, you have to last ten seconds in the air.
What about the battering items? He have a dual-wielding who have the same animation like a Valor Form from Kingdom Hearts II.
Didn't realize some of those techniques existed, especially the sliding one.
That's Slapshot IRRC
