| On October 5, 2021, Sora was announced to be the last DLC character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and was released alongside his home stage, [[Hollow Bastion]], as part of Challenger Pack 11 on October 18, 2021. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Sora was the real winner of the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot held in 2015 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''; though the contest concluded with [[Bayonetta]] being added to the game, Sakurai stated that this was because Sora was not considered a realistic option at the time.<ref name=Sora>Nintendo (October 5, 2021). [https://youtu.be/L-q6Gz_4Yqc Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate – Battling with Sora – Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 5, 2021.</ref> Sakurai has stated that Sora was originally not going to be part of the game and that there were only supposed to be five fighters in Fighters Pass Vol. 2. He stated that he met a Disney representative that was open to the idea, and after some discussions, they decided to add him as an extra character.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1450855082203901954 @PushDustIn on Twitter - Translated summary of Sakurai's Column 639, “The Final One” from Famitsu]. Posted October 20, 2021. Accessed on October 27, 2021.</ref> He is the only fighter to be owned by Disney, as well as the fourth fighter from Square Enix (following Cloud, [[Hero]], and Sephiroth).

| | |
| Sora is a lightweight character, being lighter than [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] but heavier than [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] and [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma (species)|Luma]], while having the same weight as [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. He possesses a unique midair jump, ascending a further distance in a curved trajectory in a similar manner to [[Ness]] or [[Mewtwo]]. If Sora wins a stamina battle, the screen will zoom in and slowly fade to white, a reference to the victory animation that occurs when defeating a boss in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.
| |
| | |
| All of Sora's alternate costumes are based on each of his outfits in the series. While the default one is from the first ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', the second one is from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts II|Kingdom Hearts II]]'', third from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', and fourth from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts III|Kingdom Hearts III]]''. The rest are various forms of him from the games; the fifth, sixth, and seventh are the [[khwiki:Timeless River|Timeless River]] form, the [[khwiki:Valor Form|Valor Form]], and [[khwiki:Wisdom Form|Wisdom Form]] from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' respectively, and the eighth and last is the [[khwiki:Ultimate Form|Ultimate Form]] from ''Kingdom Hearts III''.
| |
| | |
| ====Classic Mode route====
| |
| All matches in Sora's Classic Mode route are Stamina battles, except for the final round.

| ==Special moves==
| |
| ===Magic===
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Magic}}
| |
| '''Magic''' is Sora's neutral special attack. It encompasses three different elemental spells, '''Firaga''', '''Thundaga''', and '''Blizzaga''', which cycle around in that order upon usage.
| |
| | |
| Firaga shoots a single fireball from Sora's Keyblade, and can be repeatedly performed by continuing to press the attack input button. Thundaga calls down three clouds to shoot electricity down in a straight line, which can hit up to three times. Blizzaga shoots a stream of ice particles which freeze the opponent upon contact.
| |
| | |
| ===Sonic Blade===
| |
| [[File:Sora3.jpg|thumb|200px|Sora performs Sonic Blade in his ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' costume]]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Sonic Blade}}
| |
| Functioning as Sora's side special, '''Sonic Blade''' allows Sora to dash forward with his Keyblade up to three times, allowing him to target opponents similarly to [[Sonic]]'s [[Sonic the Hedgehog#Homing Attack|Homing Attack]]. The first use of this move only lets Sora move sideways, while the second and third uses enable Sora to move in any direction.
| |
| {{br}}
| |
| | |
| ===Aerial Sweep===
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Aerial Sweep}}
| |
| '''Aerial Sweep''' is Sora's up special move. Sora performs a rising spin while slashing with his Keyblade, which can be controlled to move left or right. If performed on the ground, Sora jumps off to perform the attack. The attack can be followed up with Sonic Blade after its ascent is complete.
| |
| | |
| ===Counterattack===
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Counterattack (Sora)}}
| |
| '''Counterattack''' is Sora's down special, enabling him to counter attacking opponents with an upward Keyblade slash if they attack during his counter stance. Unlike typical counter moves, Counterattack forces affected opponents to enter a stunned animation.
| |
| | |
| ==Final Smash==
| |
| ===Sealing the Keyhole===
| |
| [[File:Sora6.png|thumb|200px|Sora's [[Final Smash]], Sealing the Keyhole]]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Sealing the Keyhole}}
| |
| '''Sealing the Keyhole''' enables Sora to shoot a Keyhole portal from his Keyblade, which sucks up to three opponents inside and manifests a large door with the [[:File:SmashBros Emblem.png|''Super Smash Bros.'' sigil]]. The door sucks the opponents inside and closes, while Sora fires a beam of light into the door's keyhole. Sora then turns around and poses while the sealed door explodes with the fighters inside.
| |
| | |
| This Final Smash deals around 60% damage, and instantly defeats opponents with over 100% damage accumulated.

| ==Profiles==
| |
| ===Palutena's Guidance===
| |
| Sora shares this stock conversation with all other Fighters Pass characters. It was originally used for [[Mewtwo]], [[Lucas]], [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], [[Ryu]], [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]], [[Corrin]], and [[Bayonetta]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', who are downloadable fighters in that game.
| |
| *'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': Who is THAT?
| |
| *'''[[Palutena]]''': I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
| |
| *'''[[List of Smash Taunt characters#Viridi|Viridi]]''': It must be an intruder from another dimension!
| |
| *'''Pit''': Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!
