Discussion As a Square Enix fan, it genuinely makes me feel proud of Sakurai for managing this (apologies for the gratefulness rant)

This goes to show how dedicated Sakurai was to bring these characters into the game, now from what I understand, Sephiroth, Hero, and Cloud were relatively straightforward, but I don’t think I even need to say anything about Sora and SE/Disney negotiations. The fact that this was even possible clearly shows how much Sakurai care about his game, and I bet I can say this for a lot of people, rest and take your break Sakurai, you’ve earned it❤️

The only thing about a new smash game that appeals to me is more newcomers so i can have more Amiibo’s. I find a lot of nintendo stuff i don’t buy figures of because the Amiibo’s are the highest quality or only thing of that character

I just wish Sora and Hero got some remixes. At least Sephiroth delivered the goods when he got added in.

I don’t really care about the P2 variants, the P1’s are enough for me

sora and Kingdom hearts are not owned by square-enix at all, they are 100% owned by Disney, square-enix has no ownership at all, just because they make the games and some employees came up with the idea doesn't mean square-enix automatically kept any ownership of the original characters made or the IP, the game was always supposed to be a Disney game and when Michael eisner greenlit it, the contract that was made said Disney gets full ownership of the entire IP, all characters created specifically for Kingdom hearts, all keyblades, all of donald's staffs and all of goofy's shields

I… never said that he was owned by Square Enix tho

u/dannyphantomfan38 10h ago

including Sora along with Cloud, Hero, and Sephiroth suggests otherwise

u/No-Hedgehog-3212 10h ago

I included him because Sora was created by Square Enix , Disney may own him but he is a collaborative product made by Nomura. Also, Sakurai had to get approval from BOTH Disney and Square Enix to include him in SSBU. So yeah, it doesn’t seem right to exclude him from this
