I Heard that Japan was once planning on having a gaming event for the Olympics. I don't know if that's still happening, but that probably had something to do with this decision.

Daily reminder that Sora's moveset alone can work without Disney characters.

Smash Overhauls: Sora

Sora is Finally Here! Intro: Sora appears from a save point and gets into his fighting stance Stance/Idle 1: Sora holds his Keyblade near his right hip and bobs up and down a bit Idle 2: Sora bares his teeth Idle 3: Sora looks around for a bit Notable Palette Swaps: KH1 outfit default KH1 R...

docs.google.com

I made sure that every single attack in this moveset was something he did in the games.

You probably should. Sora has enough potential to make 100 different movesets with no overlap, there's really no excuse no to.
A few things though:
FSmash: "goes a bit farther when the stick is flicked" uhh, flicking the stick is how you perform a smash attack.
I also think it's a tad disappointing that Down B is so plain compared to the rest of his moveset, but that's purely subjective.
I'd also like to suggest Up B recharging if you hit an opponent with it, kind of like Captain Falco's Up Smash

I meant flicking as in rubbing your thumb across it really fast. You can charge by holding, but the attack itself won’t go as far.

So it goes a shorter distance if you charge it?
I would reword it though, "Flicking" usually means "like a smash attack" in this context.

Gaming music at the Olympics amazing.

Sora was ranked #1 on a Japanese survey for CP11 hopes!

Probably wouldn't change anything, since Vol. 2 was locked in back in 2019 and the last fighter probably has a considerable amount of progress made, but it's still cool to see nonetheless.

Sora and Kairi in Agrabah.

That's very cute if I might say.

Also makes me wonder why Agrabah did not come back for Kingdom Hearts 3?

Like seriously! They could have easily gone with a plot based on the Aladdin sequel King Of Thieves (With them introducing Aladdin's Father)!!

While throwing in some elements of the 90's Aladdin Television series into the show.

With that being the final visit to Agrabah in the series (It also would have been neat to finally see more CPU towns people in Agrabah as opposed to the world being devoid of life for no reason other than Normua being lazy as my Father's wife's 80 year old schnoodle.

Shoot man. There are a junk of worlds that were left out of KH3 that had so much potential to far better worlds than they were in the original KH games they came from (Pride Lands, Neverland, Paris From Hunchback With Frollo actually being a boss fight this time, Traverse Town, Hollow Bastion, ect........)


Also.

This maybe just me.

But please at least throw Sora in the game as a Mii Costume.

Smash Ultimate does not need another pointless sword fighter in the game.

That, plus some Kingdom Hearts tracks for the Final Fantasy Stage and Cloud having his Kingdom Hearts 1 costume is all the content Smash Ultimate needs.

Thanks for reading. Have a good day. And God bless.

Aside from development time being added to the already long-awaited release of KH3, most people REALLY didn't want some of the older reoccurring worlds to make a comeback. At that point, there was a consensus that we'd seen some worlds too often and they'd be better off being replaced by a few newer settings.

In Nomura's defense, the consoles that KH2 was in couldn't really handle a lot of NPCs cluttering its worlds. It even got to a point where the team had to shrink Yuna, Rikku, and Paine because their normal sizes took up too much space. Plus, there are the normal challenges of basic game design to consider.

That's awesome! It's cool to see that we're still getting these kinds of insights into a portion of the Japanese fanbase, even if the sample size for the poll is comparatively smaller than some of the other lists. With that being said, Sora consistently being #1 through the majority of worldwide polls is really exciting!

wasnt there also something about characters appearing in surprising ways?

It's been a good while since I've read any interview regarding KH2, so I'm not too sure. It wouldn't surprise me if that were the excuse he used to keep them in despite the technical issues.

Bit of a shame, because it looks really good.

We're making up a Fighters Pass Vol. 3, and Sora is (appropriately) Challenger Pack 13.

HMK shared a video debunking the dumbest arguments against Sora.

HMK shared a video debunking the dumbest arguments against Sora.

I'm not gonna lie, this was such a cathartic vid to watch. The whole issue I have with these kinds of arguments is that they're normally mentioned without a lot of thought behind them. Like, I could count on one hand the amount of arguments that I've had on character speculation where someone had an informed take that I disagreed with. This isn't only referencing Sora either, you could look towards Geno, Steve, Dante, and various others and you'lll find that most people are just extraordinarily ignorant.

That aside, however, this was a great vid. The only thing I'd change up would be the argument against Goofy and Donald. We already have two examples in the fighters pass that debunk this argument in differing ways, making it a completely obsolete.

I don't expect even a sliver of KH news since Nomura's busy prepping for the 20th anniversary, but it'd still be cool to at least see a teaser.

Saaaaaaaaaaaame...
It's crazy how starved I am for KH news right now. I should probably just replay the KH series in its entirety. That could probably tide me over.
Either way, I'm not entirely excited for their presentation. They clearly don't have a lot of games in the works and, in my honest opinion, shouldn't have a dedicated presentation. That last one left a real bad taste in my mouth.

I'm a pretty big fan of the kingdom key myself, but assuming they WERE forced to change its design, I wonder what they'd come up with. Heck, I wonder who'd design it?

The sad part is that this extends to a lot of Smash speculation in general. Whether it's Banjo/Steve and other big name 3rd party characters or the mindset of Nintendo/ Sakurai, this community has an abundance of wild, ill-informed assumptions that take center stage. It doesn't surprise me that people think they're legal experts, but I wish they'd take the extra step to do some actual research.
