Why NO ONE Plays: Sora | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Sora was the last DLC fighter to be introduced to Smash Ultimate. After his fellow Fighters Pass 2 members tore through the meta with their myriad of strengths and features, it was expected for him to follow suit. Strangely though, Sora's debut was filled with more losses than wins, to the point where everyone considers him a "troll" pick. Today we're gonna discuss why Sora's popularity is nowhere near the same as the rest of his cadre.

As a Sora main, I have never been so offended by something I 100% agree with

[@backstoryben]

Sora's gameplan in Smash is super faithful to Kingdom Hearts by and large. In Smash, he's a defensive character. In KH, especially against superbosses, you have to memorize your opponent's attack patterns and wait for an opening to counterattack. Many characters in Smash reflect their playstyle from their home franchises and Sora is one of the best examples of that, in my opinion.

[@djjimmaster8261]

Would love to see one on Ike, as people thought he was really OP at first but he dropped off harder than anyone else in the roster, and is rarely seen at high/top level these days

[@MollowXIV]

I'm never gonna stop maining Sora, you're all going to be seeing the tag Molotov XIV fighting at majors getting results with Sora someday, no matter how long it takes I'm not gonna stop

[@kicksyo2171]

I still play Sora every now and then. I always knew that I was never going to be a Sora main, but it's still great to have him here in Ultimate.

[@Lexicon865]

Kinda depressing that Sora and Banjo were requested by so much people only to not really be played because they're considered as "mid characters" in terms of their kit.

[@jackboles8603]

Sora’s inclusion at least wasn’t completely irrelevant in the competitive scene in smash, Hollow Bastion is widely considered beloved stage by most and was quickly but on the stage list seamlessly, not a huge deal but a positive influence nonetheless

[@carlossalazar9154]

Basically, he is skill-based instead of steve’s brainlessness

[@Screecho69]

Ya'll arent using sora correctly... all I'm saying is up air into fair/bair right away. Do what u will with this info.

[@jacestar3007]

Sora's in the game?

[@Darockam]

Vars: "No one plays Sora"

[@rock21611]

It’s worth noting that Sora’s release was timed the way it was for a reason. It can be easy to forget, but remember that Smash will always be a casual game first, and a competitive fighter second. Sora was released last because he’s meant to be the finale. He was the single most requested fighter, and they wanted to go out on a high note. Yes, that hurt his representation in the competitive circuit, but that’s never been their first concern.

[@BLamb]

Who’s here after Kameme’s run at Glitch Regen?

[@DarkAura19]

Sora has definitely become for Ultimate what people said Smash 4 Shulk was: he has the potential to be one of the best characters in the game, but it's a big "has", if it even exists.

[@DocsimusPrime]

Kameme after watching this video: "And I took that personally"

[@ForeverLaxx]

Characters that rely entirely on your opponent making a mistake, but not having the tools to "force" those mistakes, are characters that will often never see any serious play.

[@MrVPTino17]

“hopefully not too long” aka 2 days we got our wish

[@HenryZhoupokemon]

I really love your analysis style, which delves way more into the psychological/metagame reasons as to why characters don’t get played, over just looking at frame data,hitboxes, etc

[@antoniopriego5660]

This video feels a little bit outdated just after 2 days

[@casualgames9537]

Thanks kameme
