Well, what do you know, earlier at TGS, 3 new Kingdom Hearts titles were announced, one being for the money-printing, beloved Nintendo DS.
«Kingdom Hearts: 358/2» days, though, will apparently focus entirely on Organization XIII, more precisely on Axel and Roxas.
This does increase (more like triples) the chances of something or someone from Kingdom Hearts being represented in brawl, as the begining of this project is about a year old.

As for Sora in Brawl, I'm split in two.

-Sora is undoubtly a character that fits with the style of play that Smash Bros. has (actually, I don't know why, but in the second Brawl Trailer, when there is a close-up of pit doing that Aerial Spinning-sword attack, it makes me think of Sora a lot)
He is a very original, cheerful, energic and athletic character AND is visually corresponding to the visual style of brawl. So I would say Sora is 110% compatible with Brawl, but is about 15% or less compatible with the concept of the game being a pot-pourri of characters that had VERY SIGNIFICANT importance with Nintendo, so if he's in, wow, I'll implode in happiness, BUT...

-Yes, I also want Crono to be in Brawl, because I find that Chrono Trigger is the best RPG ever aside from the Final Fantasy Series (which I am an IMMENSE fan of, but which I surprisingly don't want to be reprensented in Brawl at all). Crono is pure nostralgia, classical goodness, and the main hero of a game that was back then sure to become the first of a long series, but unfortunately stopped after Chrono Cross, which didn't feel to much like it was from the same series anyways, so.... I'd say Sora and Chrono, in very different cirumstances, have equal chances of being behind a Question Mark on the character select screen of Brawl as we speak (That's one thing I don't get, why do poeple still say « I think they «will add» that character» when the game is without a doubt in the final stages of Post-Production and almost ready to be released»

-Oh, almost forgot, I also want Geno in Brawl very badly, and even if Sakurai considers him as first party, the LAW-DRIVEN TRUTH is that he's third party, so basically I want 3 characters owned by SquareSoft (Square-Enix doesnt exist in my head nyehehehe) to be In the game I have wanted the most in my whole life.

So hum... I did get a bit off-topic for a moment, but anyways... I TOO WANT SORA TO BE IN BRAWL!!!!
I just don't really expect his shadow to actually show up with a WARINING! CHALLENGER APPROACHING! On my tv screen any time soon... sadly.

Oh and... Since I want sora in Brawl, I' ve got to have a vision of what his fighting moves would be, right? Here's my take on it...

Sora (From KH 2) Moveset version #238-933-93811³³³³³³³³!!! (Why not)
Sorry I don't feel like explaining what does what since these are the actual names of his abilities in the game and would have the same effect, so to you, people who don't know them, have fun checking the ability FAQ on gamefaqs.

B - Keyblade Toss (His keyblade-throwing-boomerang-like move from KH1 & CoM, of which the anticipation phase of movement would be still until you release b to actually throw (think chargeable that doesn't add power to the move)

Smash B (Ground)-Slapshot
(Air)- Aerial Sweep

Down B- Explosion (Chargeable)

Up B-Aerial Dodge Lv.7 (Can be linked with air A combos)

Grab- When hitting, Sora would use the guard of his keyblade to hit opponents in the face
-Very weak throw, like Marths, but not a bit as quick as Marth's either.

Final Smash: Trinity Limit (the one from KH1 and CoM, with the burst of light and friggin cool symbols all over the floor and light sparks that KICK @$$ YAH!!!)
(Yes I know since its KH2 sora it should be Final Form but personnally I hate the concept of Temporary Transformation Final Smashes and there are already a couple out of the little number of FSs we already know of, so no thanks...)

That's it

Sora has a high chance, which is scary as I still don't want Sora in Brawl. He's a terrible character overall, worse than f-cking Sonic, and Sonic is pretty **** sh-tty.

What? A DS Kingdom Hearts game that features ROXAS? Doesn't get anymore awesome then that... :chuckle: Yay! I own a DS... Thank goodness, I don't want to go buy Sony consoles. PS2 collected to much dust. (except for the KH games, of course!)

I can't believe it, though. I thought the Kingdom Hearts creator didn't want anymore of their games on Nintendo consoles?

I don't know about Sora's chances in Brawl, really. I can't say they're high...

Roxas for the next SSB game! XD

Yeah, I'm excited. Especially since there are certain things about Kingdom Hearts 2 that still confuse me. Hopefully Square was able to pull a good enough excuse explanation out of it's *** for those things.

Though, I don't have a PSP, so we'll see what happens with that Birth By Sleep game. If it's good, I may just get a PSP for it. If not, I'll just read up a summary of the game online.

ROXAS FOR GOD TIER.

As one of the largest Kingdom Hearts fans, out there, I obviously want Sora to be in Brawl. The music point is one that does make sense, not to mention that he was on the list of suggested characters. Nomura hasn't done anything to shy away from the idea of future KH games on the DS or even the Wii, so Sora's chances seem prety high.

I don't like the idea of Final Form for Final Smash though, maybe he could turn into Final Form during it just for kicks, but I'm thinking something along the lines of opening Kingdom Hearts, and the Light pours out and hurts everyone. Or maybe he could summon Riku to the field and they coudl perform Eternal Session.

Also, the Supspace Army looks enough like Heartless that it would just be ironic and hilarious to play as Sora and fight them.

I'd make a moveset, but I don't feel like it at the moment. Maybe later.

Though it think the idea of him being in is entertaining and thought provoking, I just don't see it happening. The only thing that would convince me that he has a real chance is if they announced KH3 will be on the wii. I'm not a Sora hater *points to avatar*, but I just think other third parties would have a higher priority than him.

Y'all are forgetting one thing. the name of the company that makes Smash Brothers is Sora!!!! that's gotta count for something right? Nah maybe not but still....
On another note I think his final smash should be the trinity limit from the first game. That seems powerful enough to be a final smash.

His forms on Kingdom Hearts 2 would make for an awesome final smash, I don't really support Sora because they may want to put Mickey Mouse next... yuck!
SUCH BLASPHEMY I SEE. NEVER TAKE THE MOUSE'S NAME IN VAIN. *smites*

Regardless, they couldn't put Mickey in. He didn't originate in a video game.

Since Sora's prior Nintendo presence is CoM, perhaps his moveset should be based around that game.

1 thing that would make him stand out is if Sleights were implemented. Holding down L+R while preforming a smash attack or special would store the move as a card right above his icon until the player has 3 cards stored, then Sora executes a special move based on the particular combination of cards.

Specials (purposely weak)
B: Aero
>B: Fire
^B: Thunder
vB: Blizzard

Combinations
B+B+B: Aeroga
>B+>B+>B: Firega
^B+^B+^B: Thundaga
vB+vB+vB: Blizzaga
>A+>A+>A: Blitz
vA+vA+vA: Explosion
^A+^A+^A: Aerial Finish
B+vB+vB: Snow Storm
B+^B+^B: Thunder Storm
>B+vB+>B: Steam (Smoke Ball like effect)
B+>B+>B: Homing Fira
>A+>B+>B: Fira Break
B+vB+vB: Homing Blizzra
B+>B+vB: Aqua Splash
>A+^A+>A: Strike Raid
>A+^A+B: Aero Raid
>A+^A+>B: Fire Raid
>A+^A+vB: Blizzard Raid
>A+^A+^B: Thunder Raid
vA+>A+>A: Slide Dash
>A+^A+>A: Stun Impact
>A+vA+>A: Sonic Blade
>A+vA+^A: Ars Arcanum
^A+>A+vA: Ragnarok

& all that's in addition to his regular moveset, yeesh. Well PT & IC are proof that some characters can have more work on them than others.

Sora is a pathetic little weakling considering in the game he actually has stength...

Kingdom Hearts is a good game, but Sora sucks...


Roxas would be my choice from that game...


But...

Geno for Square rep!

KH on the DS might change some things, but I'm 50-50 about whether he should be in Brawl. You know how some characters aren't just meant to be in Brawl, or any fighting game.

But theres always a chance.
