    Stick around till the end for an explanation for where I've been all this time and how I plan to return to YouTube. Thank you to everyone who joined me in the premiere and for all your support. It truly means the world to me.
  • @ZombossLordOfDoom
    "Sora, Sora's Boyfriend, Loser Sora, Emo Sora, Confused Sora, Blue Girl, and Brown Boy." As a massive Kingdom Hearts fan, this is 100% accurate.
  • @KrystalWolf24
    Sora’s reveal trailer is a top 5 gaming moment for me
  • @DZlegend
    Great video. Sora's white costume is actually his Ultimate Form from KH3 rather than his final form from 2.
  • @TheKHHero
    As someone who doesn't play smash very much, but is a mega mega Kingdom Hearts fan, I can't begin to explain how much it means to me to see Sora be recognized as good enough and iconic enough to be added as the lasy fighter. I still get teary eyed watching his announcement trailer. It just makes me beyond emotional. KH started because of a chance meeting, and the same reason got him into smash, I csnt think of a more perfect way to end it.
  • @yourheroes5874
    Competitive wise, Kameme is the best Sora player and is ranked 9th in world with the character. He shows the character’s combo capabilities which is completely absurd
  • @pikapower98
    Well to me, Soras spells rotating in his specials, reminds me more of the command deck from birth by sleep and dream drop
  • @Grown_B
    A " chance encounter with a Disney Employee" is exactly how KH started in the first place lol
  • @Sovnarok12
    My man Skuxxed making a comeback! We love seeing it
  • @zabimaru1000
    With the inevitability of the next smash game on the horizon begs the question: Will Sora return for the next smash game? In the case he does would he stay the same or will his franchise come with more content?
  • @xandertrejo
    This is my first video I watched from you and I really found it informative and entertaining so when you mentioned that was your goal I felt the need to mention how you totally achieved it.
  • @JustJulyo
    Thanks for reminding me to go back to smash. Truly a once in a lifetime experience
  • @kyurei4478
    Really good case for defending Sora's inclusion. We got the happy ending instead of getting the bad ending with Waluigi and I couldn't be more happy with that. Love your dry humor btw.
  • @MrAFREEGAMER
    been getting this video recommended to me for a while now, finally gave it a watch and im thoroughly impressed. good video dude!
  • Good to see you back again Skuxxed! Or, moreso back at the main channel lol. Feels so nostalgic to remember the drop of Sora's debut. No matter how you feel about Sora, my passion to play the character will not cease. Imo, he was the best character to end on. And I cannot wait for what you have in store, whether it'd be Smash, Street Fighter, etc.
  • Wow, I would’ve never seen a video of yours! It was randomly recommended! I remember seeing your videos Wayback when I was younger that’s crazy.
  • I’m really happy that Sora is finally in super smash brothers. Kingdom hearts has become really really popular because of Super Smash Brothers! We have heroes like Link,Pit, Shulk,Mario,Sonic,Kirby and Samus That represent light and darkness, and that’s what kingdom hearts all about!
  • @1DAR26
    Sora would've been amazing in PlayStation All-Stars. The combat mechanic that game had and the possibilities on a drive form gauge to transform would've been unlike any other. Glad Nintendo managed to pull this off for Smash Bros.
  • @Lexicon865
    Kinda funny how nowadays, Kazuya is really the only guest in Smash who is still "primarily Sony" as every other character who used to fit that bill, namely Snake, Cloud and Joker, now have various installments of their franchise on the Switch. Whereas there's only like three games still of the Tekken series on Nintendo consoles and not a single one of them on thw Switch
  • @darienb1127
    6:44 Small correction. That is actually based off of Ulitmate Form from KH3 rather than Final Form. You can tell by the zebra pants!
