So many tears of joy. Wish I could have seen my boy Jared! HMK, if you have any words about him or anything that’s going on with him currently, we miss him dearly & hope all is well. Thank you so much for making this 1 year memorial video though, this is a great sharing piece and a perfect example to show someone how significant KH and Sora both are to the fans
It really is unbelievable that it's been 1 year since Sora was released in Smash. We went through years of constantly being told he would never make it in, even during the Smash Wii U/3DS days, and when they showed him as the final fighter in Smash Ultimate, I just could not contain my excitement any longer. His announcement was an absolute dream come true, and it was an absolute honor to be a part of this monumental moment in gaming history!
When Sora finnaly got in Smash, i was so crying inside. Sora is a one of a kind character who made so many connections with people. Like Ansem who told Sora that there is more to seek before he died, this is what he meant for Sora of seeking out more and Smash is one of em. Truly a blessing for everyone who played these games from the very beginning and how much we grown.
So I'm not alone when I say this, but I've dealt with depression and anxiety for a long time. While video games are never a cure for these conditions, they were always a coping mechanism for me. I still feel nostalgic about when I first played Brawl and KH2 back when I was in middle school. As I was obsessed with these 2 games, I naturally wanted Sora in Smash, even though I knew it was impossible. But that dream never truly faded, no matter how impossible it felt. It was also around this time that I developed my depression, but that dream of Sora in Smash always moved me forward. No matter how difficult a day may be, and no matter how much darkness I felt, I wanted to live the day when my dream came true. After 13 years (which is a coincidence) that impossible dream came true. I am so happy I lived to see that day. And now every day since has been worth living. Of course I still have my dark days, but the optimism Sora brings will always make life worth it. His inclusion means absolutely everything to me.
I literally cried. I still don't believe it. Even now, I turn on the Switch and play Smash Ultimate, I can play as Sora, along with Donald and Goofy Mii Fighters, and fight to the Hollow Bastion battle theme. It's crazy.
1 year anniversary for Sora in Smash Bros is CRAZY!!! It still feels like a dream but our boy has arrived, our hearts have been heard!!!!!!! Sora is now my go-to character and my second go-to is Sonic the Hedgehog
The fact that Sora and Sonic are in the same game together still blows my mind. My two favorite video game franchises of all time are in Smash. Sora coming to Smash was what convinced me to finally get a Switch and ever since his been my number one main in the game. Definitely a KH3 outfit main!
14 years of waiting, hoping, and dreaming... finally became a reality a year ago today. A year since Sora was released as the final fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Him and Banjo & Kazooie were a big part of my childhood. I'm so happy they finally came to Smash!
Sora in smash was the best experience because of my love for Kingdom Hearts and the Smash Bros. community, I got the chance to play with him and I have to say that he was incredible, and it just goes to show that no matter how much you play with him or as him, it fills up my heart even more, so happy 1 year anniversary of Sora in smash bros., thank you for this amazing journey and let's keep the train rolling
Sora in smash was such a special moment. I was so hyped to know that he made it in. And now that’s it’s been a whole year his reveal still gives me chills. Happy 1 year anniversary for the boy Sora! 🎉
I always somehow knew that even if Sora didn't make it into Smash Ultimate, he would make it into Smash one day even if it wasn't this one, it HAD TO happen, and guess what, IT HAPPENED NOW
Sora being in Smash a year ago, it caught me by surprise when i first saw it and I still can't believe it by this day! Kingdom Hearts holds a special place in my heart and Disney giving Sakurai the big OK, he plays fantastic and i enjoy every second playing him. Sora's reveal trailer was a true masterpiece, a work of art being the final DLC fighter in Smash Ultimate. Thank you so much Sakurai and Happy 1 Year Anniversary Sora! And always remember, May your heart be your guiding key.
A full year has passed since the hugest impact has been made in Video Game History has come to our lives and I still feel likes it's been nothing but a dream! Like is this for real, or not? And I know a lot of people say that Sora as their son or boy, but to me, he's like a little Brother I always wanted! Because when the game came out, it was a month and a year after I was born, KH1 was released in March 28, 2002; while I was born in April 26, 2001 and I was introduced to it when KH2 came out and I was 4, my uncle was playing the game and I instantly fell in love; The story, the characters, it grabbed me and since then; KH and Sora changed my whole world! And now Everytime I wake up and see Sora on my screen and play him as my main, its a reminder that our dreams became a reality! Thank you and Never leave us Sora!! MAY YOUR HEART BE YOUR GUIDING KEY!
Wow, a year already...that's crazy. Not gonna lie, the day I saw the Sora reveal, I wasn't expecting it to be him. I may have been holding hopes of a Crash Bandicoot reveal (as unlikely as that would've been, it's not any more unlikely in my opinion than Sora getting in, at least prior to his reveal anyways) but when I saw that Keyblade in the trailer, I legit gaped then I was like 'YUSSSSS! KINGDOM HEARTS IN SMASH!!! THE DREAM HAS HAPPENED!!!!' because prior to wanting Crash in, I spent awhile wanting Sora to get into Smash but after the first Fighters' Pass (and more specifically after Sephiroth's reveal) I started feeling it was less and less likely with each reveal. So when he was the literal final DLC character for Ultimate, I was both stunned and thrilled. And now, a year later, I'm not quite that good at using Sora yet, but he is one of my mains (yes I said mains, I don't have just one main. I main Sora along with Pac-Man, Cloud, Byleth and to a lesser extent Joker) so glad he got in in the end. Hopefully he stays in for many more Smash games to come. Also YUSSS SORA IN SMASH!
My childhood dream had finally came true that day. I have been wanting Sora in Super Smash Bros for 13 whole years, when the stream was first starting was the first time ever where I finally lost hope, and didn't think it would happen anymore, but I felt like I was in a dream the second I saw that Mickey keychain, I gasped and screamed, and I never felt more happier in my entire life. I was constantly fanboying and hyping for the rest of the stream, and I screamed of joy the second they confirmed that Sora was the most requested fighter on the Fighter Ballot, which meant so much to me since I participated in that ballot years ago voting for Sora. To see my Sora, and my childhood favorite video game franchise, Kingdom Hearts, finally crossover into the biggest gaming crossover fighting game in history, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it actually made me want to cry tears of joy. After 13 years, my dream has come true!
One year has passed since our keyblader joined smash bros. My MIND didn't think he would join smash, but my HEART knew that he would join smash! May your heart be your guiding key! 🔑 ❤️
The kh series is so special to me, i grew up with the series and its one of my favorite videogame franchises along side smash, mario, sonic, fnaf, marvel vs capcom, minecraft, klonoa and more, just like Roger i was also one of those people who thought i'll be hard to see him in smash but deep inside of my heart always told me "you really wanted to see him, don't pretend " since i played super smash flash 2, during the trailer i immediately recognize the keyblade before they show the mickey keychain, i literally started crying of joy for that moment even though he didn't came with donald and goofy but it's understandable. To this day i play as sora as one of my mains besides sonic, steve, banjo, pac-man, k.rool, etc, this trailer and you guys taught me to always believe and never give up to my dreams/goals, now i'm gonna have this faith to see jimmy and timmy in nasb, carrot joining the straw hats in one piece, klonoa joining to smash on a future title, trying to do better as a person (spiderman quote reference) and more. Sorry if I extended my comment like this, but this is how I express myself when I want to say something. It was nice to hear from you guys on his inclusion, now let's wait for kh4.
Yep it is definitely been 1 Year for Disney’s Kingdom Hearts Sora coming to Smash Ultimate ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ #Sora4Smash #Sora #SmashBros #KingdomHearts #SmashBrosUltimate & Also try to look 👀 at my comment.
One year ago I was excited to see the final trailer and when I realized sora was the final fighter I went crazy, I jumped outta my chair and a was blown away. I always hoped he would make it, all my friends said no way. I did cry a little because he was the 1 character I wanted to join
I really never clicked with Kingdom Hearts, but as a longtime, and i mean LONGTIME follower of this channel, of course i was always in support of the cause. I still distinctly remember the announcement, because i was in the car on my way to Disney World when it happened and i had to hold back so hard from screaming my head off in a car with my family. His playstyle isn’t for me, but i couldn’t happier that he’s here.
Prior to Sora being announced in smash, I had only recently finished playing KH1. Despite that, this felt like the most hype smash announcement for me. I love mapping the controls to match kingdom hearts gameplay, it feels like I'm playing a 2D version of Kingdom Hearts.
Getting to witness Sora being in a Smash Bros game has literally brought me happy tears. I started my gaming career with Kingdom Hearts. The series has brought me my first friends in the gaming community as I was starting out, and it still does to this day. It still feels unreal to have Sora in Smash, and I will forever be grateful to Papa Sakurai for bringing Sora to Smash. Thank you Papa Sakurai, you are a legend.
sora coming out official on my birthday feels so goddamn amazing i have been playing this character for a long time and been a kingdom hearts fan since i was 5 years old it was an amazing gift welp time to play all the kingdom heaets games again on my birthday love the vids HMK
@@DorienTheHeroOfTheArts I know about those references, but you’d think that when Disney made a movie celebrating videogames and then a sequel celebrating Disney’s legacy that Kingdom Hearts would have some representation
HAPPY 1 YEAR ANIVERSARY 🎉🎉For our boy Sora being in smash bros! First of all, amazing video as well to see some familiar faces talking about Sora being in smash, wholesome and great!!😎😎 second of all, Ever since Sora was released, I finally found a main that was easy to play as that is easy to follow, I still can’t believe we have a game that has Mario, Kirby, Link, Sonic, Joker, Pyra/Mythra,Kazuya, Cloud, Sephiroth and Freaking Sora in one game battling together/against one another, that’s dope as crap dude! 🎉 thanks again for the video man!❤
Still in shock it's been a whole year I said all the way back in 2018 If sora makes It in smash, he'll either be the last character or not at all I've never been so happy to be so right in my life Dealing with all the rude comments and toxic fans for 3 years saying someone can't be in smash for dumb reasons So that reveal was just beyond magical What hit me hardest was hikari instrumental,Having KH1 Sora(everyone thought they'd only have kh2 and 3 sora in smash) And the callback to the original smash trailer I still get chills watching the trailer, it ended on a high note, it was so impactful for me i even stepped out of my comfort zone and ended up making new friends through other communities :) #ThankyouSakurai
It's crazy how a Year has gone by! I still remember to this day calling a Lyft to go to my best friend's house...I waited for him to get off work and we reacted and cried together after seeing Sora! This is a moment we'll all forever etch in the echelon of Video Game history! 😁😁💯
I was literally rewatching sora in smash clips yesterday so this popping up in my feed this morning def made my day!! I was on a trip to colombia for my late grandfathers funeral, and a couple days later sora got into smash and part of me liked to think that my grandpa gave this to me as a parting gift, something I’ve dreamed of since seeing a sora brawl mod :))
Not gonna lie, I wanted it to happen and I was hoping and praying it would, but I was so skeptical of it actually happening. I remember thinking "There's no way it's going to happen, I want it to, I'm hoping and praying it would, but there's no way." And when it finally happened, me and my wife celebrated. I feel Sakurai moved heaven and earth to make this happen. And now 1 year later and it's still one of the magical things to happen in video games. And seeing Sora give Mario the handshake Ryu gave Cyclops from X-Men vs Street Fighter is just icing on the cake 🍰😍😁
I legitimately cried at the reveal. My two literal favorite gaming franchises together in one ultimate (literally) moment. It feels so good to have Sora duking it amongst the best of the best, and to solidfy Sora as the true gaming icon we knew he was.
One year ago today. I stopped drinking myself to sleep after losing my brother to gun violence I spent TWO years under the influence. Sora you coming to Smash was my brother and I's wish since we seen Sonic back in Brawl. You saved me and shown me the light. I've been attending tournaments for one year as of April 2023. The time leading up to April was all training re learning the game and getting sober. Sora thank you so fucking much Sakuri-San. Namura-San thank you all.
Sora in Smash really was a excellent way to end Ultimate. It's also, if anything, the closest thing we'll get to what I've always wanted: Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, a Nintendo and KH crossover. Sora's inclusion made it possible for me to make scenarios for it, plus, he's so fun to play.
Bro did anyone figure out sora was the last dlc based on the way Mario took his first step towards the fire. I can't be the only one that shouted that's the kingdom hearts walk. As in like the slow walk as you get closer and closer to your shadow in kh1 intro. I know it sounds strange but it was very kingdom hearts esk in my pov
I remember when Sora was announced for Smash Ultimate. It was one of the best things to ever happen. I was about to tune into my online college algebra class (because it was still in the midst of the pandemic) and it was starting a few minutes before the presentation. When the time for the announcement came on, I tuned out of my class and watched the presentation (I still passed the class) and my jaw DROPPED when Sora was announced and there was nothing but joy when I watched the rest of the presentation. The handshake at the end with Mario was just the icing on the cake. Other than Cloud, Sora is my second most-used character in Smash.
Seeing Sora in Smash was dream come true. I finally got a chance to play with Sora in smash it been a dream come true. Right before Sora joined smash I start playing kingdom hearts 2 my first as my first video game as my birthday present that, I got since I was 17 years old. Then my heart felt a connection with Sora. Almost if the keyblade was some connected, And feeling has never left heart. Then came Super Smash brawl my first super smash game that came out on Wii and it was great. A few year super smash 3ds and Wii U appear then sakurai's character request ballot came in and that when I decided to put Sora 4 Smash on ballot. After the second pass on 3ds and Wii U sora didn't show up. But 13 years later on that faith up morning when I woke up on super smash ultimate that's when Sora my character request finally showed up, And I was so shocked 😲😳 request for Sora was finally for filled. Sora being smash open the 🚪 door to whole new world, a whole new universe of crossover and fan fictions can now come true. And thanks to Sora being smash that dream has become and official reality. I've been day dreaming about that best moment ever Sora joining smash I definitely got that memorized. I also wait happen next for Sora now that he travel to Nintendo world's. Thank you and (Arigato) Sakurai and Thank you (Arigato) Tetsuya Nomaru. Happy one year anniversary to Sora 4 Smash in Super Smash Ultimate
1 year already? Time certainly has gone by. The main highlight for me, was that Sora came out 4 days before my 24th birthday. In fact, as of right now, my 25th birthday is just a few days away. Thank you, Sakurai. Sora was kind of like an early birthday present from him. (I could say the same thing about Steve the year prior.)
Welcome to the smash family, Sora. You are now considered among the best of the best. A chosen one. An icon that is recognized in the world. A video game legend.
So many people talking about how they knew upon seeing the emblem, I burst into tears the day after (My emotions work weird so day of I was emotionless, maybe still processing) Seeing the shape of the keyblade, the emblem, the form of Sora exiting the light and bringing light to replace the darkness of the trailer. Hell being reminded of Sora in Smash still sheds tears. HMK you were the flame I continuously held onto, I promised myself to follow that flame through thick and thin, your hype for Sora and the amount of people you pulled in, kept me hoping and waiting. And then that day came, the day our boy made it in, one year later and I still I’m in shock and awe that it came true. I’d say thank you for the ride on this hype train, but this train’s fuel will take a long time to burn out. And maybe, it never will. We did it ❤
It was really sweet of you to get everyone together like this. Too bad Cynical wasn't there but I'm sure he had his reasons. I still remember that I missed the live announcement and I was waking up and looked at RUclips to see Sakurai showing off his moveset. I swear I thought I was dreaming and going into work when I worked at a video game company, I was so excited to share the hype with others.
Best thing to ever enter into smash history, and I'll stand by it FOREVER. All Kingdom Hearts, and multiple smash fans wanted this for so long. This is a very long time coming. I couldn't be happier from what has become of this. KINGDOM HEARTS FANS RISE UP AND ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW WE WON. 🙌🏾
Legit one of the best reveals in Smash history. If there's ever a future Smash title with DLC, the reveal trailers are for sure gonna have a tough time topping Sora's trailer.
When I saw that reveal trailer last year, it left me speechless to see Sora doing the impossible by being included in Smash Ultimate. Landing counters and aerial sweeps has always been so satisfying to K.O. opponents in Spirit Board and World of Light. Sora is absolutely fun to play and learn with. 😄👍
The hype is surreal! Sora entering smash is the greatest thing to ever happening in gaming history ever!!! Nintendo is a true champion in the world of gaming.
I can't believe Sora and Pikachu are in the same universe now I'm really thankful to see them both meet up at last in the smash bros universe. Thank you Mr Sakurai!.
Well I gotta say, as someone who owns stock of both Disney & Nintendo. I got pretty damn excited when Sora got announced. I mean, just seeing the Mickey Mouse on his keyblade. I just lit up and I hope that this will pave the road of the possibilty that Nintendo characters might be in Kingdom Hearts IV.
I never thought it would happen. I mean, the rights issues on Disney's side alone are insane. The fact that Sakurai (And presumably Nomura) managed to make this happen is astounding to me. I had made peace with the idea that Sora would likely never get into Smash years ago, I moved on to hoping for other Squeenix characters (Still hoping Chrono can join the roster of the next Smash game like 10 years from now). When I saw that Keyblade show up on screen... it was indescribable. For a moment, I was an 8 year old again, looking at one of the characters I grew up on in an ensemble I never dreamed to see him in.
I was very excited for when Sora got into Smash i always thought he should be in Smash bro and now he is and he fit in to the smash bro game along with the other fighters.
Smash bros is one of the best crossover game of all time and some day be legendary. For Smash I had my thoughts on who well get in and who I want in. I choose five characters Shantae, Lloyd Irving, Spyro the Dragon, Sora and Ryu Hayabusa. Shantae became a brawl outfit, Lloyd want back to swordfight and zero on Spyro and Hayabusa. The final day came for the final Smash character I had to go to work that day I posted on Twitter I didn't care who's the last character is all I know is I'm thankful for the Smash team for being and making a awesome roster of characters. But on my to work Sakurai dropped the video on the last character. The Smash logo was still on fire from the Inkling reveal then it want out. It left a drop of flame on the ground I was wondering what's going on I had three minutes to start work, I was outside one the sidewalk watching this 😅. Mario walked toward the flame, then he put his hand in there and tossed the fire sword? I stop for a second then the whole world was shaking when they saw the final lucky emblem of Mickey Mouse. The character people wanted in years has finally HAS COME TO ULTIMATE SORA! I was so excited I wanted to sit and finish the video of Sakurai. It was the most magical reveals of all time to me truly magical.
1 YEAR AGO TODAY! THE LAST KEY ENTERED THE WORLD OF SMASH!
Happy anniversary, Gio! The joy is real. 😁 @HMK
You never gave up. You're the man. Salute!
Today is my bday i was shocked when i could play with sora he ismy favorite video game character of all time
So many tears of joy. Wish I could have seen my boy Jared! HMK, if you have any words about him or anything that’s going on with him currently, we miss him dearly & hope all is well. Thank you so much for making this 1 year memorial video though, this is a great sharing piece and a perfect example to show someone how significant KH and Sora both are to the fans
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I STILL can't believe he's in Smash and it's been a FULL YEAR. Never leave us, Sora! 🙏
Monet is alive
Yea
It really is unbelievable that it's been 1 year since Sora was released in Smash. We went through years of constantly being told he would never make it in, even during the Smash Wii U/3DS days, and when they showed him as the final fighter in Smash Ultimate, I just could not contain my excitement any longer. His announcement was an absolute dream come true, and it was an absolute honor to be a part of this monumental moment in gaming history!
Same here
As a Sora main, I still get chills thinking about him finally being here
Such an incredible day in video game history.
When Sora finnaly got in Smash, i was so crying inside. Sora is a one of a kind character who made so many connections with people. Like Ansem who told Sora that there is more to seek before he died, this is what he meant for Sora of seeking out more and Smash is one of em. Truly a blessing for everyone who played these games from the very beginning and how much we grown.
I still go back and see your reaction video on Sora
As the One Winged Angel once said… Sora will never be a memory.
He is one of connection and he is well-being as "friend"
THATS THE POWER OF THE KEYBLADE!
So I'm not alone when I say this, but I've dealt with depression and anxiety for a long time. While video games are never a cure for these conditions, they were always a coping mechanism for me.
I still feel nostalgic about when I first played Brawl and KH2 back when I was in middle school. As I was obsessed with these 2 games, I naturally wanted Sora in Smash, even though I knew it was impossible. But that dream never truly faded, no matter how impossible it felt.
It was also around this time that I developed my depression, but that dream of Sora in Smash always moved me forward. No matter how difficult a day may be, and no matter how much darkness I felt, I wanted to live the day when my dream came true.
After 13 years (which is a coincidence) that impossible dream came true. I am so happy I lived to see that day. And now every day since has been worth living. Of course I still have my dark days, but the optimism Sora brings will always make life worth it. His inclusion means absolutely everything to me.
Holy lord it's already been a year? Jeez lol.
I literally cried. I still don't believe it. Even now, I turn on the Switch and play Smash Ultimate, I can play as Sora, along with Donald and Goofy Mii Fighters, and fight to the Hollow Bastion battle theme. It's crazy.
1 year anniversary for Sora in Smash Bros is CRAZY!!! It still feels like a dream but our boy has arrived, our hearts have been heard!!!!!!! Sora is now my go-to character and my second go-to is Sonic the Hedgehog
Now this is incredibly nice to hear, Sora in Smash is going to stand the test of time for sure
The fact that Sora and Sonic are in the same game together still blows my mind. My two favorite video game franchises of all time are in Smash. Sora coming to Smash was what convinced me to finally get a Switch and ever since his been my number one main in the game. Definitely a KH3 outfit main!
14 years of waiting, hoping, and dreaming... finally became a reality a year ago today.
A year since Sora was released as the final fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Him and Banjo & Kazooie were a big part of my childhood.
I'm so happy they finally came to Smash!
YES WHEN I SAW SORA I BURST INTO TEARS!
I still can’t believe it’s been a year since one of the greatest announcements ever, I’ve religiously have been a Sora-only main ever since
❤❤❤❤❤
Sora in smash was the best experience because of my love for Kingdom Hearts and the Smash Bros. community, I got the chance to play with him and I have to say that he was incredible, and it just goes to show that no matter how much you play with him or as him, it fills up my heart even more, so happy 1 year anniversary of Sora in smash bros., thank you for this amazing journey and let's keep the train rolling
I hope Sakurai sees this.
Sora in smash was such a special moment. I was so hyped to know that he made it in. And now that’s it’s been a whole year his reveal still gives me chills. Happy 1 year anniversary for the boy Sora! 🎉
I always somehow knew that even if Sora didn't make it into Smash Ultimate, he would make it into Smash one day even if it wasn't this one, it HAD TO happen, and guess what, IT HAPPENED NOW
One of the greatest moments in video game history. FACTS 🔥🔥💯💯💯
I know this is sora vid but seeing paul castro jr made me remember how much NEO: TWEWY was slept on
How has it been 1 year already?! Man time sure flies man and to this day Sora is the best reveal in smash history!
FAX BRO
IT'S ALREADY BEEN ONE WHOLE YEAR?!
Sora being in Smash a year ago, it caught me by surprise when i first saw it and I still can't believe it by this day! Kingdom Hearts holds a special place in my heart and Disney giving Sakurai the big OK, he plays fantastic and i enjoy every second playing him. Sora's reveal trailer was a true masterpiece, a work of art being the final DLC fighter in Smash Ultimate. Thank you so much Sakurai and Happy 1 Year Anniversary Sora! And always remember, May your heart be your guiding key.
Its been a whole year since this internet breaking event. THANK YOU SAKURAI.
A full year has passed since the hugest impact has been made in Video Game History has come to our lives and I still feel likes it's been nothing but a dream!
Like is this for real, or not?
And I know a lot of people say that Sora as their son or boy, but to me, he's like a little Brother I always wanted! Because when the game came out, it was a month and a year after I was born, KH1 was released in March 28, 2002; while I was born in April 26, 2001 and I was introduced to it when KH2 came out and I was 4, my uncle was playing the game and I instantly fell in love; The story, the characters, it grabbed me and since then; KH and Sora changed my whole world!
And now Everytime I wake up and see Sora on my screen and play him as my main, its a reminder that our dreams became a reality! Thank you and Never leave us Sora!!
MAY YOUR HEART BE YOUR GUIDING KEY!
1 year ago today I cried because a funny little boy with a key is in the funny little nintendo game
Wow, a year already...that's crazy.
Not gonna lie, the day I saw the Sora reveal, I wasn't expecting it to be him. I may have been holding hopes of a Crash Bandicoot reveal (as unlikely as that would've been, it's not any more unlikely in my opinion than Sora getting in, at least prior to his reveal anyways) but when I saw that Keyblade in the trailer, I legit gaped then I was like 'YUSSSSS! KINGDOM HEARTS IN SMASH!!! THE DREAM HAS HAPPENED!!!!' because prior to wanting Crash in, I spent awhile wanting Sora to get into Smash but after the first Fighters' Pass (and more specifically after Sephiroth's reveal) I started feeling it was less and less likely with each reveal.
So when he was the literal final DLC character for Ultimate, I was both stunned and thrilled. And now, a year later, I'm not quite that good at using Sora yet, but he is one of my mains (yes I said mains, I don't have just one main. I main Sora along with Pac-Man, Cloud, Byleth and to a lesser extent Joker) so glad he got in in the end. Hopefully he stays in for many more Smash games to come. Also YUSSS SORA IN SMASH!
Man, to think it has been a year since our boi got into smash ultimate as the last dlc. Definitely one of my favorite moments in my life game wise.
My childhood dream had finally came true that day. I have been wanting Sora in Super Smash Bros for 13 whole years, when the stream was first starting was the first time ever where I finally lost hope, and didn't think it would happen anymore, but I felt like I was in a dream the second I saw that Mickey keychain, I gasped and screamed, and I never felt more happier in my entire life. I was constantly fanboying and hyping for the rest of the stream, and I screamed of joy the second they confirmed that Sora was the most requested fighter on the Fighter Ballot, which meant so much to me since I participated in that ballot years ago voting for Sora. To see my Sora, and my childhood favorite video game franchise, Kingdom Hearts, finally crossover into the biggest gaming crossover fighting game in history, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it actually made me want to cry tears of joy. After 13 years, my dream has come true!
One year has passed since our keyblader joined smash bros. My MIND didn't think he would join smash, but my HEART knew that he would join smash! May your heart be your guiding key! 🔑 ❤️
Still my favorite reveal for smash bros and I can't believe it's been a year already!
I remember exactly how I felt when Sora esa revealed fas the last fighter... I got teary-eye and I could not stop laughing in happiness
The kh series is so special to me, i grew up with the series and its one of my favorite videogame franchises along side smash, mario, sonic, fnaf, marvel vs capcom, minecraft, klonoa and more, just like Roger i was also one of those people who thought i'll be hard to see him in smash but deep inside of my heart always told me "you really wanted to see him, don't pretend " since i played super smash flash 2, during the trailer i immediately recognize the keyblade before they show the mickey keychain, i literally started crying of joy for that moment even though he didn't came with donald and goofy but it's understandable.
To this day i play as sora as one of my mains besides sonic, steve, banjo, pac-man, k.rool, etc, this trailer and you guys taught me to always believe and never give up to my dreams/goals, now i'm gonna have this faith to see jimmy and timmy in nasb, carrot joining the straw hats in one piece, klonoa joining to smash on a future title, trying to do better as a person (spiderman quote reference) and more. Sorry if I extended my comment like this, but this is how I express myself when I want to say something. It was nice to hear from you guys on his inclusion, now let's wait for kh4.
I still can't believe Sora is in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and I still own a Sora cosplay for a week thing, why did I promise that...
Happy for KH fans, but Simon Belmont was my big dream come true moment.
Happy 1st anniversary, Sora.
🎵 When you wish upon a star. Makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you
Jeez already has been 1 year since he was announced for the game
Yep it is definitely been 1 Year for Disney’s Kingdom Hearts Sora coming to Smash Ultimate ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ #Sora4Smash #Sora #SmashBros #KingdomHearts #SmashBrosUltimate & Also try to look 👀 at my comment.
HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THE MOMENT I BASICALLY SOBBED ALL DAY!!! 😭
One year ago I was excited to see the final trailer and when I realized sora was the final fighter I went crazy, I jumped outta my chair and a was blown away. I always hoped he would make it, all my friends said no way. I did cry a little because he was the 1 character I wanted to join
I really never clicked with Kingdom Hearts, but as a longtime, and i mean LONGTIME follower of this channel, of course i was always in support of the cause. I still distinctly remember the announcement, because i was in the car on my way to Disney World when it happened and i had to hold back so hard from screaming my head off in a car with my family. His playstyle isn’t for me, but i couldn’t happier that he’s here.
Prior to Sora being announced in smash, I had only recently finished playing KH1. Despite that, this felt like the most hype smash announcement for me. I love mapping the controls to match kingdom hearts gameplay, it feels like I'm playing a 2D version of Kingdom Hearts.
time for me to get on smash for a bit
So glad I recorded my reaction 😭
Getting to witness Sora being in a Smash Bros game has literally brought me happy tears. I started my gaming career with Kingdom Hearts. The series has brought me my first friends in the gaming community as I was starting out, and it still does to this day. It still feels unreal to have Sora in Smash, and I will forever be grateful to Papa Sakurai for bringing Sora to Smash. Thank you Papa Sakurai, you are a legend.
It's been a year damn 🥲
sora coming out official on my birthday feels so goddamn amazing i have been playing this character for a long time and been a kingdom hearts fan since i was 5 years old it was an amazing gift welp time to play all the kingdom heaets games again on my birthday love the vids HMK
I Sora as a Sora main I love everything about him
Still strange how we got a Final Fantasy reference in Wreck it Ralph but not a Kingdom Hearts reference or even cameo
There was a Kingdom Key D in the Mickey Mouse Cartoon, and a Kingdom Hearts reference in Proud Family: Louder and Prouder
@@DorienTheHeroOfTheArts
I know about those references, but you’d think that when Disney made a movie celebrating videogames and then a sequel celebrating Disney’s legacy that Kingdom Hearts would have some representation
@@Sjono True
Riku is guaranteed if Sora comes back in Smash 6
Sora next trailer needing help from someone and Riku get announced and Riku saying Come on Sora giving up already?
@@coolchannelize15 yes!
HAPPY 1 YEAR ANIVERSARY 🎉🎉For our boy Sora being in smash bros! First of all, amazing video as well to see some familiar faces talking about Sora being in smash, wholesome and great!!😎😎 second of all, Ever since Sora was released, I finally found a main that was easy to play as that is easy to follow, I still can’t believe we have a game that has Mario, Kirby, Link, Sonic, Joker, Pyra/Mythra,Kazuya, Cloud, Sephiroth and Freaking Sora in one game battling together/against one another, that’s dope as crap dude! 🎉 thanks again for the video man!❤
Still in shock it's been a whole year
I said all the way back in 2018
If sora makes It in smash, he'll either be the last character or not at all
I've never been so happy to be so right in my life
Dealing with all the rude comments and toxic fans for 3 years saying someone can't be in smash for dumb reasons
So that reveal was just beyond magical
What hit me hardest was hikari instrumental,Having KH1 Sora(everyone thought they'd only have kh2 and 3 sora in smash)
And the callback to the original smash trailer
I still get chills watching the trailer, it ended on a high note, it was so impactful for me i even stepped out of my comfort zone and ended up making new friends through other communities :)
#ThankyouSakurai
It's crazy how a Year has gone by! I still remember to this day calling a Lyft to go to my best friend's house...I waited for him to get off work and we reacted and cried together after seeing Sora! This is a moment we'll all forever etch in the echelon of Video Game history! 😁😁💯
I was literally rewatching sora in smash clips yesterday so this popping up in my feed this morning def made my day!! I was on a trip to colombia for my late grandfathers funeral, and a couple days later sora got into smash and part of me liked to think that my grandpa gave this to me as a parting gift, something I’ve dreamed of since seeing a sora brawl mod :))
Sora is GOATED!!
Not gonna lie, I wanted it to happen and I was hoping and praying it would, but I was so skeptical of it actually happening. I remember thinking "There's no way it's going to happen, I want it to, I'm hoping and praying it would, but there's no way." And when it finally happened, me and my wife celebrated. I feel Sakurai moved heaven and earth to make this happen. And now 1 year later and it's still one of the magical things to happen in video games. And seeing Sora give Mario the handshake Ryu gave Cyclops from X-Men vs Street Fighter is just icing on the cake 🍰😍😁
I legitimately cried at the reveal. My two literal favorite gaming franchises together in one ultimate (literally) moment. It feels so good to have Sora duking it amongst the best of the best, and to solidfy Sora as the true gaming icon we knew he was.
Amazing HMK! From Gabe.
One year ago today. I stopped drinking myself to sleep after losing my brother to gun violence I spent TWO years under the influence. Sora you coming to Smash was my brother and I's wish since we seen Sonic back in Brawl. You saved me and shown me the light. I've been attending tournaments for one year as of April 2023. The time leading up to April was all training re learning the game and getting sober.
Sora thank you so fucking much
Sakuri-San. Namura-San thank you all.
5:55 Sora meeting Rindo and Neku (again) one day, that would be the dream
SORA!!!
Finally! After 1 year....... he in!!! He Finally still in!!
After a year I still say “SUCK IT CONEY! SORA’S IN SMASH BITCH!”
Sora in Smash really was a excellent way to end Ultimate. It's also, if anything, the closest thing we'll get to what I've always wanted: Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, a Nintendo and KH crossover. Sora's inclusion made it possible for me to make scenarios for it, plus, he's so fun to play.
Bro did anyone figure out sora was the last dlc based on the way Mario took his first step towards the fire. I can't be the only one that shouted that's the kingdom hearts walk. As in like the slow walk as you get closer and closer to your shadow in kh1 intro. I know it sounds strange but it was very kingdom hearts esk in my pov
I will never NOT be happy every time I see that boy's face... It's that smile, that DAMNED SMILE--
I remember when Sora was announced for Smash Ultimate. It was one of the best things to ever happen. I was about to tune into my online college algebra class (because it was still in the midst of the pandemic) and it was starting a few minutes before the presentation. When the time for the announcement came on, I tuned out of my class and watched the presentation (I still passed the class) and my jaw DROPPED when Sora was announced and there was nothing but joy when I watched the rest of the presentation. The handshake at the end with Mario was just the icing on the cake. Other than Cloud, Sora is my second most-used character in Smash.
Seeing Sora in Smash was dream come true. I finally got a chance to play with Sora in smash it been a dream come true. Right before Sora joined smash I start playing kingdom hearts 2 my first as my first video game as my birthday present that, I got since I was 17 years old. Then my heart felt a connection with Sora. Almost if the keyblade was some connected, And feeling has never left heart. Then came Super Smash brawl my first super smash game that came out on Wii and it was great. A few year super smash 3ds and Wii U appear then sakurai's character request ballot came in and that when I decided to put Sora 4 Smash on ballot. After the second pass on 3ds and Wii U sora didn't show up. But 13 years later on that faith up morning when I woke up on super smash ultimate that's when Sora my character request finally showed up, And I was so shocked 😲😳 request for Sora was finally for filled. Sora being smash open the 🚪 door to whole new world, a whole new universe of crossover and fan fictions can now come true. And thanks to Sora being smash that dream has become and official reality. I've been day dreaming about that best moment ever Sora joining smash I definitely got that memorized. I also wait happen next for Sora now that he travel to Nintendo world's. Thank you and (Arigato) Sakurai and Thank you (Arigato) Tetsuya Nomaru.
Happy one year anniversary to Sora 4 Smash in Super Smash Ultimate
Let's declare this day Sora in Smash day!
I like it.
Sora being in Smash is why I love video games so much.
1 year already? Time certainly has gone by.
The main highlight for me, was that Sora came out 4 days before my 24th birthday. In fact, as of right now, my 25th birthday is just a few days away. Thank you, Sakurai.
Sora was kind of like an early birthday present from him. (I could say the same thing about Steve the year prior.)
Welcome to the smash family, Sora. You are now considered among the best of the best. A chosen one. An icon that is recognized in the world. A video game legend.
This is awesome! My friends and I have been talking about sora in smash since we were kids and for it to finally happen was truly amazing.
So many people talking about how they knew upon seeing the emblem, I burst into tears the day after (My emotions work weird so day of I was emotionless, maybe still processing) Seeing the shape of the keyblade, the emblem, the form of Sora exiting the light and bringing light to replace the darkness of the trailer. Hell being reminded of Sora in Smash still sheds tears.
HMK you were the flame I continuously held onto, I promised myself to follow that flame through thick and thin, your hype for Sora and the amount of people you pulled in, kept me hoping and waiting.
And then that day came, the day our boy made it in, one year later and I still I’m in shock and awe that it came true. I’d say thank you for the ride on this hype train, but this train’s fuel will take a long time to burn out.
And maybe, it never will. We did it ❤
It was really sweet of you to get everyone together like this. Too bad Cynical wasn't there but I'm sure he had his reasons. I still remember that I missed the live announcement and I was waking up and looked at RUclips to see Sakurai showing off his moveset. I swear I thought I was dreaming and going into work when I worked at a video game company, I was so excited to share the hype with others.
Man, 1 year of Sora being in smash ultimate. Thank you, Sakurai, for making this happen.
Best thing to ever enter into smash history, and I'll stand by it FOREVER.
All Kingdom Hearts, and multiple smash fans wanted this for so long. This is a very long time coming. I couldn't be happier from what has become of this. KINGDOM HEARTS FANS RISE UP AND ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW WE WON. 🙌🏾
Sora is permanently here. Now make Smash Ult Deluxe, cut no one, add more fighters, and better online plz Nintendo.
Legit one of the best reveals in Smash history. If there's ever a future Smash title with DLC, the reveal trailers are for sure gonna have a tough time topping Sora's trailer.
I cried one year ago today 😭😅
Its been 1 year since sora just came to smash!
When I saw that reveal trailer last year, it left me speechless to see Sora doing the impossible by being included in Smash Ultimate. Landing counters and aerial sweeps has always been so satisfying to K.O. opponents in Spirit Board and World of Light. Sora is absolutely fun to play and learn with. 😄👍
It's been 1 year and Sora still own Smash!
i can't believe its been one year since the best moment of my life happened
The hype is surreal! Sora entering smash is the greatest thing to ever happening in gaming history ever!!! Nintendo is a true champion in the world of gaming.
Can't believe it's been a year already, time flies!
It still makes me happy that Sora was/is THE final character to end Smash. 🥲
I can't believe Sora and Pikachu are in the same universe now I'm really thankful to see them both meet up at last in the smash bros universe. Thank you Mr Sakurai!.
Well I gotta say, as someone who owns stock of both Disney & Nintendo. I got pretty damn excited when Sora got announced. I mean, just seeing the Mickey Mouse on his keyblade. I just lit up and I hope that this will pave the road of the possibilty that Nintendo characters might be in Kingdom Hearts IV.
I never thought it would happen. I mean, the rights issues on Disney's side alone are insane. The fact that Sakurai (And presumably Nomura) managed to make this happen is astounding to me. I had made peace with the idea that Sora would likely never get into Smash years ago, I moved on to hoping for other Squeenix characters (Still hoping Chrono can join the roster of the next Smash game like 10 years from now). When I saw that Keyblade show up on screen... it was indescribable. For a moment, I was an 8 year old again, looking at one of the characters I grew up on in an ensemble I never dreamed to see him in.
Trurly a Magical moment!
I was very excited for when Sora got into Smash i always thought he should be in Smash bro and now he is and he fit in to the smash bro game along with the other fighters.
Has it really been a year already! Goodness
It dead ass only feels like he's been in for a a few months...
Smash bros is one of the best crossover game of all time and some day be legendary. For Smash I had my thoughts on who well get in and who I want in.
I choose five characters Shantae, Lloyd Irving, Spyro the Dragon, Sora and Ryu Hayabusa. Shantae became a brawl outfit, Lloyd want back to swordfight and zero on Spyro and Hayabusa. The final day came for the final Smash character I had to go to work that day I posted on Twitter I didn't care who's the last character is all I know is I'm thankful for the Smash team for being and making a awesome roster of characters. But on my to work Sakurai dropped the video on the last character. The Smash logo was still on fire from the Inkling reveal then it want out.
It left a drop of flame on the ground I was wondering what's going on I had three minutes to start work, I was outside one the sidewalk watching this 😅. Mario walked toward the flame, then he put his hand in there and tossed the fire sword? I stop for a second then the whole world was shaking when they saw the final lucky emblem of Mickey Mouse.
The character people wanted in years has finally HAS COME TO ULTIMATE SORA! I was so excited I wanted to sit and finish the video of Sakurai.
It was the most magical reveals of all time to me truly magical.
