Social Sora Unlocks the Door! The Sora Social Thread

[Kamen Minecraft]

Congrats!! I'm actually really glad he made it. I thought Sora was impossible due to Disney. I'm glad I'm wrong!!

 

[Marvel-Otaku-Man]

The most requested character, fellas! The most requested character since Smash 4!!!

 

[Nemuresu]

I want to give you my deepest congratulations.

Sora was my brother's most wanted, and ever since my most wanted (Terry) made it in, I wanted my bro to get his as well, and we're both super happy about this final inclusion big time.

 

[magiciandude]

I am so happy for you guys! Looks like that leak from 4chan was legit!

 

[KoopaSaki]

I can't believe it.... The dream came true. It really came true. This day man, let it go down in history as the all time best. I made this video for Sora back in June and I am so happy that I got my redemption. I lost Geno, I lost Isaac, and I lost Shantae, and now, I can be at peace.

 

[Lionfranky]

I remember questioning here...

I am glad it's Sora.
I wish I have been more avid supporters....
Anyway, Congrat!

 

[Zyphyris]

Congrats everyone!

 

[Strong Badam]

The final "promotion" - from Newcomer Speculation to Character Subforum. Congrats to all Sora fans, and, indeed, all Smash Bros. fans!

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Need to give my hearty congrats here.

This is what I call a finale

 

[JarBear]

The "end on a low note" for Smash fighters (base, DLC) has finally been broken. Congrats! Looks like fun.

 

[Nietona]

What an exhilarating last presentation! I didn't think Sora would make it, but I'm really glad he did. Congrats, guys. Can't say he was one of my most wanted but Sora does mean an awful lot to me, so I'm really happy he was included.

 

[rychu_supadude]

The "end on a low note" for Smash fighters (base, DLC) has finally been broken. Congrats! Looks like fun.

You can't break what never existed!

 

[Urso_Ornitier]

Congrats Sora fans! I came to join the hype!

 

[PestilenceSSB]

Congrats to all Sora supporters for sticking together until the end!

 

[Houndstooth]

So, I wanted Master Chief the most. But, wow. I love Kingdom Hearts and Sora was another that was at the top of my list. Congrats everyone!

The attention to detail for Sora is amazing. I'm so glad that we got to see so much awesome there. From moves, to movements, to personality, Sora looks fantastic. Congrats, again, everyone. That is a fantastic ending to Smash Ultimate.

 

[DuskFleur]

Oh my god. We won.

 

[Mamboo07]

Great job on getting your most wanted for Smash.

 

[BluePikmin11]

It's really nice to see a character that I've been arguing in detail was very possible and not unlikely for so long during Smash Ultimate speculation actually happen.

He was one of the big possibilities that I saw for a Final presentation. It's surreal and good to see an "unlikely" prediction actually happen for me as a Smash speculator.

I'm glad he's in.

 

[Papa Pope]

GUYS, WE ACTUALLY DID IT!!! SORA4SMASH!!!! LETS GO!!!!

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I... I'm literally crying.

For years I've been saying he's possible, and nobody believed it.

****ing... It's beautiful.

 

[edumolon11]

WE WON.

MEN, I CRY A LOT

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ladies and gentlemen, WE WON

 

[Marvel-Otaku-Man]

Heh, its kinda nice to see Mario worthy enough to wield a keyblade.

 

[Double0Groove]

I'M PRACTICALLY IN TEARS DAMNIT

 

[UserKev]

Well, I'm happy I guess. Perkilator, get in here, bro bud.

 

[Slime Scholar]

Not interested in KH myself, but Sora looked great. You guys must be over the moon. Congratulations!

 

[Neosonic97]

Congrats, you guys. While it pains me to not see Reimu, even I can't disagree with the fact that Sora absolutely deserves his spot.

And Sora looks like fun to play for sure, so I can at least take comfort in the fact that we're getting a quality character nonetheless!

 

[GhostRoy]

I've never felt such happiness before this can't be real

 

[zeonie888]

I'd like to say congratulations to all who wanted Sora in! Wow! What a way to end the pack! :D

 

[PLATINUM7]

My fingers were crossed so damn hard during that trailer.

Middle of the night, usually I've been capable of staying silent so as not to disturb others during reveals but when I saw the Kingdom Key in the flames I couldn't contain myself.

I just can't adequately describe how happy I am, which perhaps is a vivid descriptor of what I'm feeling.

Thank you so much Sakurai. I'm so looking forward to playing Sora.

And let me say, that final image of Sora and Mario shaking hands. If there's any moment from Smash I wish I could show to my younger self, it would be that.

 

[Golden Icarus]

Wow. ****ing congrats dudes. I’ve never played a Kingdom Hearts game and have no connection to Sora whatsoever, but even I got got chills as he was flying through the air. What a perfect reveal.

I’m so happy that you guys finally got your character. He was literally the most voted character in the ballot, so…yeah you guys definitely earned it!

 

[dezeray112]

The moment the keyblade appeared along with the track "Simple & Clean" was played, I started getting chills and a load of happy memories when I first played Kingdom Hearts for the Playstation 2.

But what a fitting way to conclude Smash Ultimate's DLC and congrats to everyone who had requested him!

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. THAT FINAL SHOT WITH SORA AND MARIO SHAKING HANDS WITH ALL THE FIGHTERS IN THE BACKGROUND. IT'S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE. THANK YOU SO MUCH MASAHIRO SAKURAI!

 

[Dinoman96]

Congratulations, Sora fans! After all the dooming and glooming about how Disney would never allow it or that "Smash never ends on a high note", this is your moment. Enjoy it.

 

[Ayumi Tachibana]

Congrats!
I'm not particularly a KH fan but NGL the reveal made me so emotional!
What a finale!

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Hello my fellow Sora fans! It's been a while since I've been on this site, let alone posted in this thread, but my god! I didn't realize just how happy I'd be with this choice, until it happened!

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Thank you Mr. Sakurai!

 

[Alsorash]

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FirestormNeos]

My internet connection is too slow at the moment to link the video, so I'm just going to type out my reaction instead:

"A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one" ~Mr. Palpatine

 

[Enigma735]

I just want to take a moment and congratulate you guys on getting Sora! Sora always seemed like a huge pipedream that I never thought would happen, but I couldn't be more happy to be wrong. Even though Geno was one of my most wanteds, Sora was easily my second favorite choice when it came to another Square rep, so I'm more then content myself to get Sora. I'm still blown away that Sakurai actually managed to go through Disney to get him, but alas, here we are and I couldn't be more happier. He seems like a bunch of fun too, and I am so excited to try him out on the 18th!
