    As a Useless fact it would be cool to share how Sora's inclusion had some "Thirteens" around it, respecting Kingdom Hearts' love for the number 13:
    - Sora was released 13 days after the reveal trailer.
    - The version of the inclusion of Sora was 13.0.0
    - If you count all DLCs and count Pyra and Mythra as separate characters, Sora is the DLC number 13.
    - The inclusion of Sora brought 13 New Spirits to Smash Ultimate, those being the 5 skins of Sora and the 8 Spirits from his Spirit Board.
    - The name of Sora's stage, Hollow Bastion, has 13 Letters in it (allthough this is a 13 already in Kingdom Hearts, as well as the name of the franchise "Kingdom Hearts" has 13 letters in it and the Middle letter of the name is the M, which is the 13th letter of the Alphabet)

    Here's a small Sora fact: in his reveal video, Sakurai described Sora's seventh costume as "Wisdom Form" (from Kingdom Hearts II), but it's actually a cross between Wisdom Form and his Dream Drop Distance outfit, as seen in his third costume (basically it's his 3D outfit with Wisdom Form's color and symbols -- the "X" on his shirt is the clearest indication). I think they did this because they wanted a second 3D costume, but the game didn't have any alternate costumes that weren't Disney-related.

    As a massive KH fan, I can say that Hollow Bastion's "story significance" is minimal, but it is definitely an iconic place and Smash recreates it with TERRIFYING accuracy. You could tell me they ripped the 3D model straight from KH1 and just made a few parts move and I would believe that. It's basically a 1-to-1 recreation.

  • @Shi_gai
    @Shi_gai 2 роки тому +60

    I still think that the lack of Donald, Goofy and Mickey aren’t the result of Disney meddling and more the Smash team wanting to avoid people using it as proof that characters like Goku or Spongebob could get into the game. They probably wanted to be 100% absolute on their vision of “only video game characters” in-game. I think the Keyblade having the Mickey emblem is just for the sake of accuracy to the design. Removing it would kind of be like removing the M from Mario’s hat.

    • @DarkHeartTheEmo
      @DarkHeartTheEmo 2 роки тому +3

      That doesn't make any sense because if Disney appear would only be as an image, people want Goku and Spongebob in Smash as playable characters, show images of Disney characters doesn't change that, if they use a word from KH that was inspired on a Disney movie maybe you would have a point there, but we didn't even has that.

      @@DarkHeartTheEmo Look at it from the Smash team's perspective. If they include a character as just a stage cameo, that's still technically adding a non-video game character to the main game. Sakurai said before that Smash is only for video game characters and since we don't know exactly what he meant by that it could mean that even adding them as cameos would be adding them to the game. (People also tried to claim Goku could be in the game since Dracula was technically a book character before Castlevania, too.)

    7:06 Just a couple of things about this general "Disney acting strange with licensing" section
    1. I find it very hard to believe that Disney would opt out of advertising their cartoons to the largest audience in the gaming sphere at no cost to themselves. I assume that, once the Smash legal team was able to haggle Sora for a reasonable amount of money, they decided to not even bother attempting to license hard Disney properties due to the insane cost that it would take. Disney is not the kind of company to straight up refuse to place their IP on certain things for incredibly dumb reasons. The most likely answer is that their shit just costs far too much to license. They could obviously had just given Smash the rights for free, but its Disney, so its not going to happen. Keep in mind that Disney and Nintendo have a very 'cold' relationship at the moment. As such, licensing between the two would be incredibly taxing due to both parties wanting to get the 'better deal.' Contrasting this is Nintendo's relationship with Bandai Namco or SNK. These companies already have steady business relationships with Nintendo, so their immediate goal when licensing material isn't immediate profit.
    2. Licensing isn't as simple as just two companies giving each other a thumbs up. A legal agreement (typically following a good couple months of intense legal discussions and bargaining) must be drafted to license the material. Furthermore, its not like a license gives the receiving company free reign to use the IP in every single field that it operates in. An IP license (at least one made by gigantozoid companies like Disney) is typically very strict about what can be made with them. A license to put Mickey Mouse on a lunchbox doesn't mean you get to put Mickey Mouse on a backpack. The coasters were likely the idea of the cafe managers, who I assume had basically no power to request any alterations to the license to include the coasters. The pin badges and posters for sale in the cafes were clearly a more involved portion of the collaboration between Square Enix and Disney, so they could have the Disney characters on them. Why would Disney would allow their stuff to be used on pin badges and posters, but then arbitrarily draw the line at coasters?
    In short, Disney's licensing decisions aren't petty, stingy, or nonsensical. They're just trying to squeeze as much money out of everything as humanly possible.

    If I recall, Sora's Station of Awakening with the raft and the fruit was also used in the KH concert.
    I find it neat that the Inklings match the player colors, albeit out of order and red swapped with magenta probably because Splatoon doesn't have red ink and red ink wouldn't look very pg.
    And I'm surprised the Inkling's ink makes Timeless River Sora's face disappear since those usually at least keeps the eyes of the characters affected, but there's probably some weird quirk with that skin. I need to see though if TR Sora has glowing eyes for Final Smashes or parries

    Xion got her name from the naming convention Organization members have where they take their true form's name and scramble it after adding an X. Sora -> r o X a s. (Cause X is their letter. And it's also the Greek letter for 'key'. The X-blade they're trying to forge is the ultimate 'key'-blade)
    But because the Organizasion wanted wanted a backup keyblade weilder for their plan they created a fake one using Sora's memories of Kairi after Namine stole them (long story), cause memories are super important in KH. She was Experiment Number One or No.1. Or No.i, cause Roman Numerals/ Greek Alphabet are also important. So add an X and you get Xion. It also sticks to the water naming convention that the female characters have. Kairi means sea in japanese, nami from Namine means wave in japanese, Aqua is Latin for water. Shio from Xion (Shi-on) means tide in Japanese.
    But the saddest part about her name is how the 'i' in her 'name' is written. It's like an imaginary number. She's a replica. Forged from someone else's memories. When she dies everyone forgets she exists.

    regarding your question about the significance of Hollow Bastion, it's actually one of THE MOST important worlds in Kingdom Hearts.
    1) it's the place where the Emblem Heartless were originally made (any Heartless that isn't just a black thing with glowy yellow eyes is an Emblem... named for the X'd out heart logo on them)
    2) it's the place where all but a few of the Final Fantasy cameo characters are from in Kingdom Hearts
    3) it's the second-to-last world in KH1, the second (and hub) in KH2, and an important world in many games in the series.
    4) it's the world that the main girl of the main games, Kairi, is from
    5) it's the base of operations for the Disney villains in 1 and the former base of operations of The Organization (the villains from Chain of Memories forward in the series)
    so yeah... the only place that might compete for importance is MAYBE Destiny Islands (Sora's homeworld, and the homeworld of the series's villain)

    Don't get me wrong even tho it's crazy convoluted and weird I still absolutely love this series and highly recommend it to everyone, just play the games in order of release and you'll be fine, because that's the order the story was written, not linear no no, release dare wise

They edited the actual artwork to make Riku have no cards in his hand so that his hand was outstretched, a very iconic pose of his, it's the spirit in smash too, and his symbol around the station was changed from crown shaped cards to the symbol of the series, the big swirly heart

    The fact that Pokémon or Assists can also trigger the special stamina transition for Sora is not strange to me, because this references the summoning ability Sora has in the Kingdom Hearts games.
    It’s basically the same thing, but with gaming IPs instead of Disney-owned IPs.
    It would be cool if a teammate could trigger it as a reference to partners, except in most games, the final blow to a boss can only be landed by the player. In Kingdom Hearts II, it was either a magic spell or the end of a combo that dealt the final blow. The rest would do nothing, and King Mickey can’t kill a boss. It has to be Sora. In CoM, Cloud was a usable summon, so it would be cool to homage that. Finishing Ursula with Cloud is still the most batshit crazy thing ever.
