A Distant Demon
Finale
Sora
It's tempting to link dozens of songs from KH's amazing soundtrack, but i'll stick with just one.
I know I say that we have no way of knowing ballot results all the time, but this is one case im confident in. This is the only character other than Bayonetta im certain did well on the ballot (regardless of any logic). KH as a series has had plenty of time on Nintendo systems and is a huge franchise by itself. And with plenty of moveset potential, Sora fills every quota for being a big-deal third party in smash.
Just one "little" problem. He's owned by Disney. For some reason Square Enix does not own Sora which complicates things. Disney is extremely protective of its IPs. Sora has shown up in other things before but it's usually very stingy. As much as anyone from Square would want Sora in, they have no say. Anything involving Square Enix is irrelevant. It comes down to Sakurai wanting to see it happen, Disney not being stingy, and Nintendo's lawyers being able to work things out.
I know nothing of how this would go down since i've never seen businesses negotiate for anything like this so I can't give a strong opinion either way. My final result is that Sora is absolutely a strong possibility. But he has one, immense mouse shaped road block in the way.
Want: 100%
KH is one of my favorite series of all time. I ****ing love it. I've wanted to see Sora in smash for years. He's awesome and has a bunch of awesome moves to choose from. I honestly don't have a negative thing to say about him other than the fact I would inevitably be disappointed when Leon doesn't show up
