Social Sora Unlocks the Door! The Sora Social Thread

In hindsight, it's funny how Digi here predicted 3 of these characters (2 of which in the same E3 2019).

Something just occurred to me, remember in Brawl how Sega originally refused to let Sonic be in the game, but then later changed their minds - which happened late into production & caused the game to be delayed? This shows that companies can change their mind on allowing their character to be included, even if it’s late.
Well this could line up with Imran Khan’s claim that Disney Japan said “no” & that there are fighters in this fighters pass.
I’m probably looking way too much into this, but I’m just optimistic & wishing for Sora to be in the game.

I doubt it. It has been known for a while that the DLC has already been decided, and I don't think they would try to make changes so late.

 

[Starlight Liger]

Sora doesn't have a lot of Disney with him in the first place. If you were to make a moveset for him the absolute most you would include with him is Donald and Goofy.

I'm 90% sure if the rule is "No Disney" you can still make a good moveset for him just using the actual game.

Sora is Disney. It doesn't even matter if all of his moves and his stage are just strictly Kingdom Hearts references with no Disney references, Disney has to approve his inclusion into Smash Bros.

Several Nendoroids of KH characters were confirmed.

Once again, Disney's not as strict with the KH license as people make them out to be.

If you replaced Roxas with Ventus, we would have had all of the Guardians of Light.

I'm assuming he's refering to this theory

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Seems more coincidental, but I'll admit this is far more believable than the Switch not being powerful enough to run PS2 games when we're getting a Crash 4 on Switch, a current gen game with very few compromises.

This is completely believable. Nintendo has a history of publishing Square Enix games so I wouldn't be surprised if Square Enix is asking for too much money for Nintendo's liking.

Conspiracy theory:

They are going to demake KH3 so it can run properly on switch, that's why they make PS2 quality models of Sora and Kairi's Kh3 designs.

I'd actually love the idea of that, the game would be visually coherent with the previous Kingdom Hearts entries if they did that.

Yeah, smash 4 had half of it's DLC dedicated to RPG characters.


Officially speaking Kingdom hearts has always been a Final fantasy spin off series like Tactic and Crystal chronicles, so Sora is in fact a final fantasy protagonist.

It's only a Final Fantasy spinoff because of the Final Fantasy cameos. Kingdom Hearts has evolved beyond that. Even so, he is not a Final Fantasy character, because if he was, he would be owned by Square Enix.

T'is too easy.

This is completely intentional on Walt Disney Animation Studios part, they were directly involved with the narratives of Tangled, Frozen and Big Hero 6 in Kingdom Hearts III.

Me too but we have a big lack of knowledge. If Nintendo asked for Sora to be in FP1, then that gives plenty of time for Disney to change their minds for FP2 - with the characters being finalised by November/December 2019 at the very latest.

 

[Double0Groove]

I doubt it. It has been known for a while that the DLC has already been decided, and I don't think they would try to make changes so late.

Well, that's assuming changes would need to be made at all. Even if Sora's not in the second fighters' pass, there's nothing stopping the team from including stand-alone DLC characters post FP2. Or, y'know, them making an FP3.

Well this could line up with Imran Khan’s claim that Disney Japan said “no” & that there are fighters in this fighters pass.

Mondo Mega said that, Imran Khan was speculating that Disney Japan would be the biggest hurdle.

This is completely believable. Nintendo has a history of publishing Square Enix games so I wouldn't be surprised if Square Enix is asking for too much money for Nintendo's liking.

And yet, with the recent wave of SE games that's been/being ported to the Switch, I can't help but disagree with that sentiment. SE has already admitted to the difficulty of porting the KH games over to the Swich. Keeping the time frame of the released ports on other consoles in mind, it's easy to make the connection that porting the KH franchise to other consoles is a lot more difficult than everybody else makes it out to be.

 

[Kamen Minecraft]

I'm not sure if Sora has much of a chance mostly because of Disney. But I believe in Faith and you guys have a lot of Faith in Sora. So who knows he might get in just because of how many people believe in him. I know that I wouldn't mind Sora in smash.

if you ask me fans rarely have realistic expectations

I never really thought about this before, if Cloud and Sephiroth were restricted to their Japanese voice actors, Sora probably would be too, huh?

Hayley's a part of a union?

 

[PLATINUM7]

Is it Square or Disney that pays Haley?

It's annoying trying to work out the whole VA thing. There's something union actors can do to appear in non-union projects. Smash has some actors like that, it has actors that have had roles in KH. Square's thing is also kind of weird because they've hired non-union actors during strikes, so what's the point in them supposedly upholding actor rights by enforcing credits then.

 

[fogbadge]

i imagine its which ever one is in charge of english localization

 

[Mikegamer0608]

I'll be honest I don't care if its just the japanese VA, I just want the character himself.

 

[Peripuff]

Smash has some actors like that, it has actors that have had roles in KH.

Really? The only character I can think of who shows up in Smash and shared a voice actor with a KH character is Silver (who shared a voice with Lea), and Silver doesn't have a voiced line in Smash.

So does anyone think we will see anything Kingdom Hearts related in this Square Enix presentation? I doubt it but there's still a chance.

well normua did say there wouldnt be any announcements until next year but then i think the epic store versions were announced after that so maybe

Yeah same, obviously I'd prefer if Haley Joel Osmont's voice was there because that's the one I grew up with and am used to, but obviously if I had to choose between just having the Japanese VA and no Sora at all, I'd pick the japanese va.

Hell, we can also point out how their logic splits hairs on specifics. Like how Joker doesn't come with ANY Shinmegami Tensei demons despite them being the biggest part of the series, yet we're expected to believe that KH without any Disney animated characters isn't proper representation, and wouldn't/shouldn't happen as a result. It's a reaching argument at best and a despereate one at worst.

The only Disney stuff needed is Sora's Final Smash where he falls down the mountains of Frozen over and over. Again and again.


........yea...I did not like that world.


It would not be difficult to avoid the Disney references. Sora's moveset would come whole cloth out of the actual games (seriously, his moveset is ridiculously easy to transfer over from source games) and doesn't have a Disney connection. His music could be the battle themes that barely have any connection to Disney in general (even if some battle themes play during Disney boss battles, they wouldn't be considered Disney songs). His spirits? The KH original cast (I mean, there's only, what 100+ of those floating around nowadays?). Even if his Final Smash was Trinity Limit that involved Donald and Goofy could have Riku and Kairi in their place. The only Disney reference would be the Mickey Head at the end of Kingdom Key, and I can't see anyone be legally petty enough to make that be a copyright issue.

He does, though - going by the copyright information at the start of every Kingdom Hearts game, anything not specifically mentioned (such as Tarzan, Final Fantasy, or the World Ends With You, which are all credited to their owners) is owned by Disney, including the original characters like Sora, Riku, Kairi, Xehanort, etc.

Also, this is Disney - they're definitely legally petty enough to make that an issue, seeing as they've changed copyright laws multiple times.

Oh, well that is distressing. I thought if they just focused on the original content that it would be less legal heads involved with adding Sora to Smash.
