They pried that dude away from Square and DISNEY?!?!?!" I have no clue how many souls got sold to that mousey faced devil to make this happen, but here we are. That keychain alone was probably at least one or two.
Honestly, I've see a lot of people just be neutral about Sora and not really angry. Coney and Little Z are the first people I've seen actually seem upset about Sora, although I avoid social media like the plague so that's probably scewing my perception a bit.
Coney: Banjo didn’t get any of this! That’s because he’s had nowhere near the amount of games Sora did. And would anyone REALLY want a Nuts & Bolts costume?
@@ether2275 and maybe she’s been wanting this for literal years. Plus just how difficult it must’ve been to get sora in the game compared to Steve and Pyra/Mythra
This was, in my own opinion, the perfect way to end Smash Ultimate: let's give Sakurai a round of applause, everyone 👏👏👏 He deserves a decade's worth of vacation time 🏖️
I loved the fear in all of their eyes when Sora did his side+b bayo bullshit for the first time cuz that is exactly what I looked like when I watched this live
The way I see it, there are three levels here: the "history of gaming" level, the "history of Smash" level, and the gameplay level. On the "history of gaming" level, Kingdom Hearts is one of the biggest franchises of all times and an amazing crossover in its own right, so crossing it over with the other amazing crossover of the gaming world makes so much sense. On the "history of Smash" level, Sora has been the most requested character for the longest time, he literally was the reason why Bayonetta ended up in Smash 4 to begin with (he won the poll, Disney wouldn't give them the rights, Bayo was second, she got in), so ending the life cycle of SSBU by finally bringing him in is the most poetic way of closing this cycle. From this point of view, there couldn't have been a better character than him. On the gameplay level... It's literally a floatier Lucina with a bunch of projectiles, Pikachu's down b, and old Bayo's recovery. That doesn't exactly sound like a recipe for fun times to me.
That’s such a basic way to look at the character that ignores all of his fundamentals. Just based on the direct you can tell multiple things about sora that set him apart from most of the cast. 1. His control over the air probably exceeds any other character, with his floatiness complimenting that playstyle 2. He’s gonna excel at stage control with his projectiles and air movement because a lot of his moves look kinda laggy and not safe on shield, meaning he’ll probably struggle in neutral against combo heavy characters 3. His recovery mixups and landing options are gonna lead to some wacky stuff in disadvantage especially when he’s offstage. 4. A lot of his attributes will make him a VERY good doubles character I was able to deduce all of that and the character hasn’t even come out yet. If you’re disappointed by sora than that’s fine but not every character with a sword is a Lucina clone.
You're right. For real tho they had so much great potential with this character and they just gave him a bunch of recycled moves and made him a boring ass characters. But hey in DLC general Sakurai did a great job so I can't complain.
@@aegeon5650 He didn't say the character was bad by any means. his playstyle may be kind of original, i don't think he's gonna be the most fun to play as and even more against. And for the moves, it's basically just a mix : swordfighter normals, hero lvl1 neutral B, first part of thunder, ice climbers down B, link's up B but not grounded, shulk counter but with a backwards deflect... His side B is original and look good, but i think a little more original moves would have been appreciated.
@@cradlepen5621 I'm pretty sure if someone's name is BAYOnetta, it is shortened to Bayo. Not Beyo. No idea WHERE the E comes from. Also, spelling isn't the same thing as grammar.
@@ThePizzaMan48 Sora was the only character that he actually *didn't* want. And I agree with him tbh, Sora's a 0-dimensional character from a game series that's only popular to a very specific age range of millennials - and the games suck too

But god damn it we got Sora as the final character and it's the best thing that's ever happened. Don't shit on other people's parades.
@@alexv0714 I got Smash Ultimate by the time Byleth would come in, since then, I reached high levels of GSP with some of my favorite characters very painfully. This is because almost all of my matches were extremely disrespectful at all the means possible. And this all reflects onto the reveal trailers, it looks like an amount of Smashers are just into the game to pick their mono characters and then hate on disapproval to others. Like, come on man. IDC about Fire emblem, Xenoblade or Minecraft, and yet got very happy to see them as DLC, both for being good choices and for those who wished upon it so hard... Just enjoy this magnificent game dammit
Dear god I wonder how much they'd have to give up to get disney to let them use mickey. We'd have to check nintendo employees to see how many of them were missing arms and legs.
The don’t even have the Mickey on his chain in the game footage, they paid for the reveal but I will laugh if they aren’t having in game so they have one less thing or fight Disney over🤣
I didn't make that connection at all, nice! Esam was asking what the tell for everyone was For me it was seeing Mario actually pick up the keyblade, the moment it took on the silhouette of a sword instead of just a ball of fire I knew
Im still in awe that there are people that legit thought it was Sora based off of the smash logo burning out and Mario throwing a sword shaped fireball. There's zero connection between that and Kingdom Hearts. I feel like he was just one of the very few characters people expected it to be and it turned out to be him. I didnt get that impression in the slightest. I thought it was Cinderace or someone from Dark Souls up until I saw the fire covered Keyblade after he threw it. I could barely tell it was even a sword when I first saw it, if it showed the teeth of the key then I wouldve understood but, it looked like a typical plain sword to me.
@@caelum9471 The connection isn't 'fire' it's 'light' specifically the light going out/darkness taking over, which is a central theme in basically every KH game.
Nintendo: So we would like to use your character, Sora. Disney: Alright, so long as it's kid friendly. Sora won't be fighting, will he? Nintendo: About that..., it is a fighting game. Disney: What?! We made Sora's sword a key to avoid violent ideas! Nintendo: Well he will also be *cough* stabbed *cough* probably maybe idk. Disney: This is pure insanity. But... we can work something out as long as there are no guns present. Nintendo: *Has flashbacks to Joker's Neutral B announcement* ......... yes, of course.....
17:05 Didn't know but had hope when Mario stepped down from the pedestal and the partical effects looked familiar. Then when I saw the flame I thought of Sora being "A light in the darkness." Then when I saw the Keyblade, I popped off like I won Evo
He literally won the Smash Ballot and people are still angry. As sad as it is to see Ultimate finally end, I’m glad to to hear people complain so much less
@@MT_Rift Dude, Sephiroth is literally one of the most popular and loved villains in history of videogames. Even so, I saw some people saying that they hope Mr. Sakurai DIES IN FIRE, and he's just trying to please all of us, like, he made so many dreams come true.
Totally insane. I watched this on my own when it aired, and then watched all the individual panda youtubers react before watching this video. So much glee! So much pain! Can't wait for the patch and new release in 2 weeks!
So… Imma put him in mid-high to high tier. He’s not really “fast”, but he’s versatile with a lot of mixups. Not SUPER strong or broken, but overall a super fun character to play with. I’m impressed, Sakurai… You’ve made me cry happily and sadly at the same damn time….
I don't know much about Kingdom Hearts, but I've heard something about him being the 13th DLC Character coming out in 13 days on the 13th update means something.
I forgot where I saw it, but someone said "the greatest cross over game got the first and biggest cross over character of all time" and I support that. I remember when kingdom hearts came out, and I was freaking out seeing Cloud, Goofy, Cid, Donal, hades, yuffie, ect all in a single game, and I couldnt wrap my head around it. Then as I got older and played more fighting games and smash, and seeing Snake, sonic, banjo, and so, so many more I felt that same feeling but never connected the dots. Seeing Sora in smash has bridged that gap I didn't know existed for me in the gaming world. It always felt like a fever dream, like this new Disney wouldnt ever let that happen. But here we are, at the end of one of my favorite games, bringing in one of my first and best utter mind-blowing experiences in gameing. Thank you to everyone involved, and thank you Sakurai for everything you have done.
Coney's breakdown was the best reaction, it goes from mad, to sad, disappointed, to I have no voice left and then goes into disappointed acceptance but still bittersweet. Coney is the most underrated youtuber.
Coney went from hating Sora to loving it, But only after his voice sounded like he’d been to hell and back. Coney are you okay what did Disney do to you…
How does Sora NOT make sense in Smash? Colorful design. Tons of moves from over a decade of video games to pull from. And he LITERALLY jumps between different worlds and franchises. As far as I'm concerned, Sora's right at home in Smash
He looks and attacks in a very generic way. Another sword anime character... Could've been something less represented in the game with more unique personality.
He's definitely the perfect character. It was just a legal battle with Disney. We didn't even get Simple and Clean, Sanctuary, Dearly Beloved, etc., as songs in the actual game. Disney said nope to all the bangers, no Disney appearances in the game, etc etc. Expected, but a little disappointing given what could have been.
I literally still cannot believe it
been asked for this for years honestly
It is a surprise to me too, even though I thought that Sora was gonna make it, it's still a surprise to see that and I hoped for the other characters to make it in smash.
This is everything I've ever wanted. Rachel gets me at least :')
Me too
Same! It just… doesn’t feel possibly real at all. I love it.
Coney went through all 5 stages of grief within the course of the presentation
"never mind sora is based"

@@alexv0714 I got Smash Ultimate by the time Byleth would come in, since then, I reached high levels of GSP with some of my favorite characters very painfully. This is because almost all of my matches were extremely disrespectful at all the means possible. And this all reflects onto the reveal trailers, it looks like an amount of Smashers are just into the game to pick their mono characters and then hate on disapproval to others. Like, come on man. IDC about Fire emblem, Xenoblade or Minecraft, and yet got very happy to see them as DLC, both for being good choices and for those who wished upon it so hard... Just enjoy this magnificent game dammit
Coney is the antagonist at the end of a Disney movie who stomps their feet on the ground after they lose
So accurate! lol
The line " I wish no happiness for you" taken out of context, is the best villain
Marz “they should’ve made a Mickey Mouse Mii”
Me-“ a Miikey Mouse?”
Dear god I wonder how much they'd have to give up to get disney to let them use mickey. We'd have to check nintendo employees to see how many of them were missing arms and legs.
@@MercuryA2000 no kidding
The don’t even have the Mickey on his chain in the game footage, they paid for the reveal but I will laugh if they aren’t having in game so they have one less thing or fight Disney over🤣
I love that as soon as they see Sonic blade, Everyone starts having Bayonetta Smash 4 PTSD Flashbacks, because I have them too
As soon as I saw the smash logo fade into Disney-like fireworks I knew it was Sora
I didn't make that connection at all, nice! Esam was asking what the tell for everyone was
For me it was seeing Mario actually pick up the keyblade, the moment it took on the silhouette of a sword instead of just a ball of fire I knew
Honestly I don't know how as I don't know much about KH. But when I saw the little ember I immediately thought it was Sora.
Im still in awe that there are people that legit thought it was Sora based off of the smash logo burning out and Mario throwing a sword shaped fireball. There's zero connection between that and Kingdom Hearts. I feel like he was just one of the very few characters people expected it to be and it turned out to be him.
I didnt get that impression in the slightest. I thought it was Cinderace or someone from Dark Souls up until I saw the fire covered Keyblade after he threw it. I could barely tell it was even a sword when I first saw it, if it showed the teeth of the key then I wouldve understood but, it looked like a typical plain sword to me.
@@caelum9471 The connection isn't 'fire' it's 'light' specifically the light going out/darkness taking over, which is a central theme in basically every KH game.
I'm surprised by the lack of toxicity in Marss' reaction lol.
His girlfriend has wanted sora forever. He is probably super happy for her.
Held it for his girlfriend obviously, but he did sneak in a jab or two at it.
@@Fandresvc in classic Marss fashion
@@ether2275 kingdom farts anyone
That one dudes rage just made me happy~
"Right next to ZSS!"
"Oh, isn't that the worst huh?"
lmao
Nintendo: So we would like to use your character, Sora.
Disney: Alright, so long as it's kid friendly. Sora won't be fighting, will he?
Nintendo: About that..., it is a fighting game.
Disney: What?! We made Sora's sword a key to avoid violent ideas!
Nintendo: Well he will also be *cough* stabbed *cough* probably maybe idk.
Disney: This is pure insanity. But... we can work something out as long as there are no guns present.
Nintendo: *Has flashbacks to Joker's Neutral B announcement* ......... yes, of course.....
17:05 Didn't know but had hope when Mario stepped down from the pedestal and the partical effects looked familiar. Then when I saw the flame I thought of Sora being "A light in the darkness." Then when I saw the Keyblade, I popped off like I won Evo
17:21 honestly I though Mario was going to kindle the first flame
Everyone: so excited/surprised
Conney: Mourning
The irrational hatred some people have with Sora is surprising but also extremely amusing at the same time.
After seeing some few people hating on Sephiroth when he got in, I doubt nothing...
yeah :/ my “friend” was so mad he said he wanted to stab sakurai. deadass sounded like a waluigi fan
He literally won the Smash Ballot and people are still angry. As sad as it is to see Ultimate finally end, I’m glad to to hear people complain so much less
@@MT_Rift Dude, Sephiroth is literally one of the most popular and loved villains in history of videogames. Even so, I saw some people saying that they hope Mr. Sakurai DIES IN FIRE, and he's just trying to please all of us, like, he made so many dreams come true.
@@marbuki5602 Average Sora Enjoyer
everyone: wow nice winning effect
me: how ironic...cloud, beaten by his own attack
Coney’s reaction was the best out of all of them
Totally insane. I watched this on my own when it aired, and then watched all the individual panda youtubers react before watching this video. So much glee! So much pain! Can't wait for the patch and new release in 2 weeks!
Sakuri smash had a good run. Can’t wait to see who makes the next game
**SPOILERS**
not Waluigi
I love how everyone is hyped when they see Mickey's symbol and Little Z was like: Omg is Sora....
"DLC has to be good. It's in the contract!"
I mean, Banjo does exist...
And piranha plant
And Min Min.
There we go.
3 bad ones!
So… Imma put him in mid-high to high tier. He’s not really “fast”, but he’s versatile with a lot of mixups. Not SUPER strong or broken, but overall a super fun character to play with. I’m impressed, Sakurai… You’ve made me cry happily and sadly at the same damn time….
I always wonder if Little Z hears himself when he speaks
“I like Bluuuuue” i still cant get over that!
The absolute best part about Sora finally being added is the sheer duality of everyone’s reactions. It’s beautiful.
Light and dark fighting it out
Coney's salt gives me life, I'm gonna miss meltdowns like these now that we don't have any more DLC characters.
10:19 someone needs to get WaDi to make this his donation sound lmao
18:09 was definitely me
Coney is never gonna look at Smash the same ever again. He's scarred for life, lol
Scarrrrrred for life
I'm so here for Coney being mad about Banjo getting the short end of the keyblade
I don't know much about Kingdom Hearts, but I've heard something about him being the 13th DLC Character coming out in 13 days on the 13th update means something.
Funny that he's dlc 11
@@linuszarrouk2004 Oh, maybe it was just version 13.
Buying Sora was like 90% of SSBU budget
Coney: Please Sora, yes Sora
Coney seconds later: Please not Sora D:
He was hoping that they’d show Sora during the Mii costume part
^
@@fletch-a-sketch9250 hmm fair enough
I forgot where I saw it, but someone said "the greatest cross over game got the first and biggest cross over character of all time" and I support that. I remember when kingdom hearts came out, and I was freaking out seeing Cloud, Goofy, Cid, Donal, hades, yuffie, ect all in a single game, and I couldnt wrap my head around it. Then as I got older and played more fighting games and smash, and seeing Snake, sonic, banjo, and so, so many more I felt that same feeling but never connected the dots. Seeing Sora in smash has bridged that gap I didn't know existed for me in the gaming world. It always felt like a fever dream, like this new Disney wouldnt ever let that happen. But here we are, at the end of one of my favorite games, bringing in one of my first and best utter mind-blowing experiences in gameing. Thank you to everyone involved, and thank you Sakurai for everything you have done.
"I will never forgive Mario"
- Coney
I honestly appreciate Coney's reaction tbh.
Dude im so hyped for this😭 been waiting forever
When the portal lit up the fighters looked at it like “damn, turn off the lights”
Does Coney need some water
Little Z: Waluigi is net even a mii costume
The Waluigi mii costume: am I a joke to you
I was looking for the biggest salt mine of all time and I found it from coney😂
Glad Mars girl was there to give the life long Kingdom Hearts POV 😂 we have been waiting
I'm with Coney
How could you not put in Sanctuary or Simple and Clean?
That's what I'm mad about
You wanna get slap by Utada's DMCA? Okie
I was hoping for that too but copyright made me think that it's understandable
Makes sense though. They aren’t exactly battle themes.
Not owned by neither Disney or Square but Utada Hikaru. Plus you couldn't use it in videos or torneys bc Copyright.
@@Supersheep64 neither is half the themes in the game
Some of my favorites
Then talk to Utada
Simple
I highly doubt she'd mind
And so, the countdown to Smash 4 Bayo w/ sword begins.
Sakurai: *Spends hours of hard work making this DLC.*
Coney: I’M SO MAADD!!
Marss is actually genuinely hyped you can tell
I’m happy for sora fams
And I hope you have fun playing Sora, even if he wasn't your top choice
@@kylethompson4543 idk if I’m playing him. I don’t like mewtwo or ness because of the jump but I’ll try him
@@plabcentral630 Fair enough. Happy smashing either way.
@@kylethompson4543 you to my friend
Everybody seeing side-b for the first time: OH GOD IT'S SMASH 4 BAYO LET ME OUUUUTTT
Wadi laughing at doomguy is brilliant
Like how Coney reacted to Sora's Bayo-esque combos the same way that Loki reacted to seeing Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok
Coney's breakdown was the best reaction, it goes from mad, to sad, disappointed, to I have no voice left and then goes into disappointed acceptance but still bittersweet. Coney is the most underrated youtuber.
The collective despair of the community once *the combo* is shown will never fail to make me laugh
I'm so hyped for Sora, idc what anyone says 🤩
When she said "that's me, I'm a masher!" I felt that in my soul LOL
Coney went from hating Sora to loving it, But only after his voice sounded like he’d been to hell and back. Coney are you okay what did Disney do to you…
He just came back from commentating low tide city and he’s been playing nick all star brawl on stream so his voice is kinda dead rn
Bad things happen to those that disrespect the Mouse... Don't let it be you ☠️
Coney with the lost voice sounds like hes crying and i am too
How does Sora NOT make sense in Smash? Colorful design. Tons of moves from over a decade of video games to pull from. And he LITERALLY jumps between different worlds and franchises. As far as I'm concerned, Sora's right at home in Smash
Me no like dosney in vibeo gam about vibeo gams
He looks and attacks in a very generic way. Another sword anime character... Could've been something less represented in the game with more unique personality.
Its not so much the character. But the companies he belong to
He's definitely the perfect character. It was just a legal battle with Disney. We didn't even get Simple and Clean, Sanctuary, Dearly Beloved, etc., as songs in the actual game. Disney said nope to all the bangers, no Disney appearances in the game, etc etc. Expected, but a little disappointing given what could have been.
@@professornova1236 this. Is exactly how I feel about it.
The amount of salt in Coney's reaction could beat out the goddamn ocean
