Sora from Disney's Kingdom Hearts is the final character to join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

As revealed in the final "Mr. Sakurai Presents" direct, Sora from Disney's Kingdom Hearts is joining the battle! Yes, you read that right. What many thought would be impossible has happened!

First, a little about Sora. As mentioned, he's the main protagonist of several Kingdom Hearts games. Originally wanting to explore the vast seas to visit other lands with his friends, Riku and Kairi, Sora ends up getting wrapped up in a massive war against a man named Xehanort, who seeks to acquire the mystical Kingdom Hearts. Sora isn't alone on this adventure, as he also receives help from his two new friends and companions, Donald Duck and Goofy Goof.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy also comes across members of the Final Fantasy series, such as Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockheart, Aerith Gainsborough, and yes, even Sephiroth.

In Super Smash Bros. Sora is a fast, but light character. (For reference, he's lighter than Isabelle from Animal Crossing.) He mostly fights his foes with his iconic Keyblade, though he can also use some magic with his Neutral Special. He starts off with Firaga by default. After using it, he switches to Thundaga, then Blizzaga, before going back to Firaga. His taunt also has him use three magical moves, but they're only for aesthetics and don't do anything.

Sora's default look is his appearance in the first game. His alternate costumes include his designs from Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Kingdom Hearts III, and the Timeless River look from Kingdom Hearts II.

Sora's stage is Hallow Bastian, a kingdom that was ruined long ago, though towards the end of Kingdom Hearts II, it gets restored back to its original form, Radiant Garden. Sora will also come with 9 songs. Additionally, if you have save data of Kingdom Hearts: Memory of Melody, you'll also receive a 10th song, "Dearly Beloved ~Swing Version~."

 Sora will be released on October 18th, 2021.
