4 DLC Characters Super Smash Bros Ultimate Needs
Sora (Kingdom Hearts)
Square Enix has been cooperating quite a bit with Nintendo as of late, putting both Octopath Traveler and The World Ends With You: Final Remix on the Switch. They already partnered with Nintendo to put Cloud in the last Smash game, and there’s another Square Enix character that would be an absolutely perfect fit for Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
Kingdom Hearts will be turning 17 years old in 2019, and the release of Kingdom Hearts III is one of the most hotly anticipated gaming events of the year. Sora is just as much of a gaming icon as any Final Fantasy character, and many fans have been wanting the character in Smash for years. With the release of the biggest game in the series yet, now would be the perfect time to do that.
Kingdom Hearts does have a decent history on Nintendo platforms anyway, with Chain of Memories on GBA, Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded on DS, 358/2 Days on DS, and Dream Drop Distance on 3DS. This means that nearly half of all Kingdom Hearts games have release on Nintendo platforms.
All the special moves in Kingdom Hearts could make an easy moveset for Sora too; Strike Raid on side special, Aerial Sweep on up special, Blitz on down special, etc.
Sora is just about the best choice Nintendo could make for a Smash DLC character, adding another major gaming icon into the mix, while celebrating a milestone for the Kingdom Hearts series.
