Masahiro Sakurai spoke during the livestream and stated that Sora was the most requested Smash character of all time. He then added that including him has been quite the undertaking and took longer than other fighters.

Sora’s color variations include his costumes from Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, Dream Drop Distance, and 3. His Valor form, Wisdom form, and Final form are also included.

However, our favorite color variant has to be Sora’s costume from the Timeless River level of KH2. It emulates the old timey black-and-white style Disney animation from their earliest shorts. This variant also comes with unique facial animations.

Sora can use magic and is said to be good at aerial combat. Here’s a video of Sora’s gameplay.
