Top Ten Reasons Why Sora Should Never Be In a Super Smash Bros. Game
Ever since Square-Enix's Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy VII has been announced as a new DLC character for Smash (which I don't mind, but still find ironic since I bet he would fit in a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale game as much as a Super Smash Bros. one, since Final Fantasy VII, unlike it's predecessors (Final Fantasy I through VI, which were on NES and SNES), originated as a PS1 game first) according to the latest Nintendo Direct, the Kingdom Hearts fans thought that it increases the chances of their beloved Sora appearing in the series anytime soon, in which I hope Sora (or any other Kingdom Hearts character) never appears, and I have my reasons.Watch out. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck will be here soon if Nintendo isn't careful.
We don't need the House of Mouse to own every company that exists. Not everything is Disney.
Nintendo's franchises and characters are not Disney, and never will be.
Never beg for Simba to be in the game, either.
If he ever joins Smash, he will open the door for Goku, Shrek, or any characters from TV shows, books, or movies!
Yeah, I cannot believe that so many people want non-game characters (or anyone who does not fit the criteria) in Smash.
Kingdom Hearts is the worst franchise to ever happen! And all who genuinely like Kingdom Hearts are the dumbest of the dumb! The stupidest of the stupid!
Seriously, man. Anyone who likes this train wreck known as Kingdom Hearts has very bad taste in video games. I swear.
Totally right, it's more of an acid trip than a good story. Maybe if there were no Disney characters and only original ones, it would be better.
"Won't be that original." Okay, you clearly haven't played the first few games, then. Rising Sun, Ragnarok, Explosion, his standard combo, Howl, and his master form combo. But yeah, nothing original.
And as for the last part, we're talking about a game where Solid Snake fights a pink blob that eats everything, a little boy with tiny monsters following him, Mario, and a yellow mouse that shoots electricity. Yeah, the kid with a key totally doesn't fit here.
We already have enough spiky-haired protagonists in Super Smash Bros., so why add the worst one? Kingdom Hearts fans should be happy with just having Cloud Strife in Smash. There's no need to want any of the original Kingdom Hearts characters or Disney characters in the game.
Crash Bandicoot is a better idea than Disney's idol for dirty old perverts! I would rather have another Fire Emblem character join Smash over Sora!
Lip from Panel de Pon infinitely deserves the fighter spot more than Sora.
I want Waluigi. Man, put him in as a DLC, Nintendo.
It's bad enough that disturbing crossover fanworks with Kingdom Hearts already exist. We don't need it becoming canon or official in an actual crossover game.
I fear the thought of Sora being shipped with Pit, Link, Zelda, Shulk, Sonic, anyone from Fire Emblem, etc., by his overzealous fans if he appears in the game.
I'm already fearing such a thing will happen with Terry Bogard, and I'm otherwise glad he was announced!
Doing Trinity Limit alone still doesn't make him qualify for the roster. It's never gonna happen, sorry.
And let's not forget Sora's colors and outfit were partially inspired by Mickey Mouse, right?
Yeah, that's my only qualm, really.
Not only are Kingdom Hearts' original characters terrible, but the whole "Kingdom Hearts can still be represented without Disney characters" excuse doesn't work. Kingdom Hearts' original characters are owned by Disney. Sora is technically inspired by Mickey Mouse, and many Disney characters play crucial roles in Kingdom Hearts. The series itself was made to be a Disney crossover and nothing more. Therefore, there's no option for these original characters to appear in games or media without their Disney co-stars or in media made by companies other than Disney and/or Square Enix.
The Nintendo universe already has a Twilight Town in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, which is a much better game than any of the Kingdom Hearts games.
And it would just be disappointing to see Sora guest-starring in more games. If the existence of the Kingdom Hearts franchise itself wasn't bad enough, there is no need to have it ruin Super Smash Bros. or any other game.
This would create a lasting bond. If Disney bought Nintendo, they obviously wouldn't put Disney characters in Smash. I mean, do you see Mickey Mouse in Star Wars? Is Donald Duck an Avenger? No! It's just like Nintendo and Bayonetta. These companies are smart enough to realize that drastically changing a franchise could ruin the fanbase.
Yeah, because we all know what happened after Snake showed up in Brawl. That level where you have to rescue Jigglypuff in MGSV was just weird...
If you think that any game besides 1, 2, and 3 are "spin-offs," then you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Each game adds to the lore and is just as important to the overall plot as the numbered titles.
Let's face it, Kingdom Hearts is only popular because it's a Disney crossover. Given how much of a sellout Disney is, anything with the Disney brand is going to sell no matter what. I bet if they made toilet paper with images of Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, or the Disney Princesses on it, it would sell just as much as the Kingdom Hearts games do.
Sora, Riku, Roxas, Organization XIII, and other original characters are awful. Not only are they derivative of other games' characters, but they have little to no personality or development at all. And even if they do, it's always the same godawful clichés and the tired Disney formula we've seen in other series far too many times.
Additionally, they're nothing but yaoi/yuri bait for the most part - much more so than any characters from other series - since perverted yaoi and yuri fans are the only audience that appreciates them.
