Why Sora is in Super Smash Bros Ultimate
The final DLC fighter in Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Fighters Pass Vol 2 is none other than Sora, the protagonist of the Disney/Square-Enix collaboration, Kingdom Hearts.
Why is Sora in the game? Because he's by far the most requested character, as revealed in an online poll run by Masahiro Sakurai and the team at Sora Ltd several years ago.
Why was Sora not added to Smash sooner? It seems that Disney might not have been very helpful in making this collaboration happen. Which is a surprise considering how eager they are to put all their big brands into Fortnite.
Anyways, it's nearly midnight here and we somehow got this video done in less than five hours, so I'm going to bed.
Lots of love,
