This was so good, having Sora be the final character to the ULTIMATE Smash bros game. the whole smash emblem burning out was poetic. I don't think it can be understated how big of a deal it is that they got license to have this character by Disney as well. It must have been SO much diplomatic work to secure this. Sakurai IS a videogame industry LEGEND and while i feel sad that Smash is ending - what a god damn legacy this is. Claps, mr Sakurai, Claps
Fun fact: during that whole CGI cutscene, even when they were all amiibos, Cloud and Sephiroth were the only third party characters present. Our man Sakurai KNEW we'd be looking for them in the crowd.
You can tell the amount of corporate eggshells they are having to walk on because goofy and donald are replaced by the raft and a paopu fruit on soras dive to the heart mural haha. Really hyped to see him here though!!
I’m fine with it. When I was living in Japan, I went to Tokyo Disney expecting to buy something Kingdom Hearts related for the release of KH3 but nothing. I had to go to Tokyo Tower for merchandise. Also, Tokyo Tower is cool because it’s always themed up.
I didn't think a SMASH BROS trailer would ever make me cry but here we are - I think maybe it's because Sora traveling to all of these new worlds (Pokemon, Mario, and all of the others) just makes so much sense. Like, it feels like it could be canon within the greater Kingdom Hearts universe. Sora just looks right at home standing next to Pikachu and Villager and everyone, really. If I were to really try to put the feelings into words, I'd say that Sora connects all of these beloved worlds together just by being part of it. Sure, we've seen Sephiroth and Pikachu and Snake and whoever else face off in Smash, but Sora, whose whole journey is about traveling between worlds, makes them feel connected in a way they've never been before. And it's that feeling of everything being connected that has always made Kingdom Hearts special to me.
I just realized... there's a lot of Nintendo streams that makes us hyped. However, there's not a lot of them that makes us cry. This is more than a character announcement. This is the end of an era, and the beginning of a new journey. Farewell, everyone! May our heart be our guiding key.
I can't believe they replaced my boys Gooby and Dolan... with the freakin fruit and the raft. I guess that's Sora's revenge for leaving his ass in Hollow Bastion.
I love how it said “Sora’s finally here” implying that sakurai begged for a long time for Disney to rip the “chains” of of sora and let the “memories” of KH fans to finally play sora in smash.
I don't even play Smash at all but i still got emotional cause how iconic this is, imagine the years & years of legal hell that man went through & endured to get Sora in Smash, all to please the fans, perseverance personified, proof that if you have a dream, a goal or you truly believe in something so much you should go for it & never give up, that man deserves a long vacation & all the fan love & appreciation he can handle, that man is a God among men, unbelievable achievement indeed, & he's done something that will never be duplicated, & has definitely semented his name in video game history, long live The Mad Lad Sakurai! & god bless him.
Just like you, I cried when Sora was announced in Smash Bros. I said to myself finally! I was really happy. Seeing you happy as I was at this announcement made me extremely happy. I also cried when I saw you crying. Thank you for this beautiful video. Kisses from France :)
Ive been waiting for this, i seen so much on it back in like 2013 2015 i think and when they didnt do it then i got kinda bummed and didnt think they would, but glad to see that they decided to actually go with it and the stage is jus amazing i love everything about it
I cried too. I cried because I never been this happy, just to see Sora in Smash. I didn't think I could feel like a kid once more. This was truly a great send off for smash. It nailed it. 👌
I really enjoyed the fact that you got so emotionally overwhelmed at the end that you had to cut the video lol! I'm really happy for you and all other KH fans even though I personally wanted Master Chief but I think as the final character Sora is much more hype! I mean Disney is in FRICKING SMASH BROS! HOW DO YOU EVEN TOP THIS SHIT?!
Me after a long night at work: "Well that sucked." Me a few minutes later after seeing Leigh's pure unfiltered joy at seeing one of her favorite characters in smash: "Never-mind, I'm good."
Hey leigh, deveranmar here, just wanted to watch this again at 3 am and decided to bawl my eyes out. Spending half a year watching you play the series culminating in you getting as invested as us in the series and then this just being the ultimate cherry on top and It just means the world to me. Thanks leigh. And thank you sakurai
Man, the amount of red tape Sakurai and the team at Smash had to go through to get permission to use Sora from Disney had to be a monumental achievement. Must have taken years to negotiate this collaboration.
This is all I’ve wanted for smash for YEARS. Seeing all the reactions is the most wholesome and unifying thing I’ve seen in the gaming community for such a long time. So hyped!
Mario Shaking hands with sora is like CYCLOPS shaking hands with RYU back when X-MEN vs Street Fighter debuted in the arcades and consoles in 1996/97 👌👍🤝
It's misleadingly Dark Souls-like imagery but Smash Ultimate has been represented by a flaming Smash symbol since the beginning. The fading flame represents the end of content support and it causes all the fighters to return to toys. Then Sora shows up to bring back the light and it frees all the fighters from their toy forms. The real kicker is that Sora releases in exactly 13 days. Nomura is at it again...
Leigh I was in tears too, girl! Thank you Masahiro Sakurai, Satori Iwata (RIP) and the video game community. Our hearts were unlocked. Sora coming to Smash was “simple and clean.”🥺🥲👊🏾🔑
Leigh looks like a proud mom cheering on her son who finally graduated.
Exactly 😂
Yep
That's way to accurate
4:40
This was all of us 😂
Sora shaking hands with Mario is so iconic.
Favorite part of the trailer. It's so sick
I love it because Sora owes his entire existence to Mario 64, as Square really wanted to make something with that game's freedom of movement.
Yep
Mickey likely agrees
@@cgdavidson think it was more on the Super Mario RPG since I think Square wanted to do another but with other characters
Crazy how perfectly Sora fits into smash, but I guess his design is that perfect median between angsty anime and bubble western cartoons
Yep
Sora's own series is literally a crossover game. I'm not sure why he wouldn't fit in another crossover.
I mean… his design WAS based on Mickey Mouse
he has the anime body and the mickey mouse clothes lmao
Sora comes out in 13 days.
Sakurai really is a KH fan.
That is actually hilarious. Good stuff!
Sora is also the 13th dlc fighter (if you count Pyra/mythra as 2 characters) and he releases alongside update 13.0

Claps, mr Sakurai, Claps
Sakurai earned his well-deserved rest after this
yes. Gamers think that Nintendo is nuts about CC. but we are talking about the Disney Volt. This is extremely precious to the owner.
Imagine if the last char wouldve been a fire e. Character everyone just losing there sanity
Fun fact: during that whole CGI cutscene, even when they were all amiibos, Cloud and Sephiroth were the only third party characters present. Our man Sakurai KNEW we'd be looking for them in the crowd.
I feel like a proud mum that Sora’s in Smash.
NOW COME HOME SORA, YOUR DINNER IS GETTING COLD!
It’s been sitting at the table for 20 years, Sora!
Sora: It's been cold for 20 years, I'm sure it will be fine for another few years...
Please tell me you didn't reheat the same dinner from almost 20 years ago 🤣🤣
Mummy?
I'm sorry. But I am in an adventure rn. And kinda lost too.
You can tell the amount of corporate eggshells they are having to walk on because goofy and donald are replaced by the raft and a paopu fruit on soras dive to the heart mural haha. Really hyped to see him here though!!
Not just that but it follows the main rule of smash: must originate from a game
I’m fine with it. When I was living in Japan, I went to Tokyo Disney expecting to buy something Kingdom Hearts related for the release of KH3 but nothing. I had to go to Tokyo Tower for merchandise. Also, Tokyo Tower is cool because it’s always themed up.
It is a good day to be a kingdom hearts fan

The best part is that it was MARIO who unlocked the door for him, to bring him to the ULTIMATE SMASH GAME!
It’s funny literally everyone thought it was dark souls at first
Can you blame us? I mean there was a fading flame flame
@@seekerofnothingness you know dark souls does not have a monopoly on fire.
@@seekerofnothingness they just used the fire to cover the weapon so no one can predict what the character is before it is revealed
@@Vashy434 It doesn't, but a single flame burning in an abyss of endless dark is 100% a Dark Souls thing. It's literally the opening of DS1.
@@flux_casey a single light in the darkness is also a KH thing. As well as about 1000 other things.
"Am I dreaming?"
I think what you meant to say is: "I've been having these weird thoughts lately......Like, is any of this for real?...Or not?"
lol
I'm really happy that sora is in the game, what a perfect way to finish this pass, i'm excited to play him when he comes out
Same
This was such an emotional rollercoaster. I saw this and fucking cried
He has the most graceful entrance!
A lot of streamers and TH-camrs I follow are so happy. It's a blast watching all their reactions back to back.
I love how it said “Sora’s finally here” implying that sakurai begged for a long time for Disney to rip the “chains” of of sora and let the “memories” of KH fans to finally play sora in smash.
;)
He partially released him from Disney's chains to come play in smash for a bit
Ikr, that do be very de *light* ful, isn’t it?
*Sephiroth?* :D
Sora is one lucky person. Hanging out with the greats from two of the biggest companies of entertainment. Nintendo and Disney.
Three months playing Sora. And this kind of content still make me cry! Soras in Smash!
I don't even play Smash at all but i still got emotional cause how iconic this is, imagine the years & years of legal hell that man went through & endured to get Sora in Smash, all to please the fans, perseverance personified, proof that if you have a dream, a goal or you truly believe in something so much you should go for it & never give up, that man deserves a long vacation & all the fan love & appreciation he can handle, that man is a God among men, unbelievable achievement indeed, & he's done something that will never be duplicated, & has definitely semented his name in video game history, long live The Mad Lad Sakurai! & god bless him.

this is one of the most wholesome videos ive watched. you're so cute leigh!!
The accuracy on Hollow Bastion level design in the background is actually crazy
Sephiroth comes into Smash: I'm gonna kill all of ya
Sora comes into Smash: I'm gonna kill ya again
All we need now is a Donald and Goofy skin for Duck Hunt.
I can't stop repeating "oh my god this is real" every time I see him in Smash lol
So happy u recorded ur reaction
I don't think my own mom was as proud of me in anything as you are of Sora lmao
Your overwhelmed yet incredibly happy reaction touched my soul haha. I was so happy when I learned he was gonna be in this.

I’m sure we all cried with that final handshake scene
Literal Goosebumps and wanting to cry and feeling the same way you felt every fucking time you said something, like oh my god!!!!!!
“Mario’s gonna F’ing die” now I’m dead 😂😂💀
I never played Smash after the Gamecube, but its so fun to see, what pleasur these characters mean to you all
Me after a long night at work: "Well that sucked."
Me a few minutes later after seeing Leigh's pure unfiltered joy at seeing one of her favorite characters in smash: "Never-mind, I'm good."

Can't help but notice a certain silver haired swordsman on the background when sora landed lol
The most wholesome reaction ever
Jesus she looks like a soccer mom with how proud she is 😂
Sora is the crossover character, what a perfect ending to Smash.
Sora has such a sweet smile cant help but be happy
The handshake at the end is what does it for me
THERE HE IS
THE BEST BOY

SORA !!!! Let’s go !!! My boy saved everyone from the dark 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I like how your first thought was that Mario was gonna die.
Plot twist: Sora's been here while we all played Roxas 🤣
Im watching all the reaction videos and it just makes me so happy
Square Enix is now officially powered by LeighXP's tears.Thank you for being a clean energy source.
I feel you homie it’s so amazing!!!
Her reaction and my excitement for this made my heart skip a beat
Sakurai: What!
Disney finally let him in
My Kingdom Hearts wish finally came true today!
ah, I remember when the direct started I joked that it was confirmed sora because sakurai said about his company sora. good times
One of the purest reactions
Noice I was hoping to see your reaction xD
This is all I’ve wanted for smash for YEARS. Seeing all the reactions is the most wholesome and unifying thing I’ve seen in the gaming community for such a long time. So hyped!
The Keyblade just goes so hard
SORA THE KEYBLADE MASTER!!! Simple & Clean as he is! lol
Mario Shaking hands with sora is like CYCLOPS shaking hands with RYU
back when X-MEN vs Street Fighter debuted in the arcades and consoles in 1996/97 👌👍🤝
Thank you! I also thought it was Dark Souls!
Sora King of Hearts shakes hands with Mario King of Nintendo
Leigh: "SORA...is my SON?!
I still can't believe Sora is in Smash
Like Evangelion: Goodbye to all of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!
I was really hoping Mario was gonna link the fire, but Sora is a nice too.

now we know where sora went at the end of KH3
"This is alot..... I feel sick." xD
It's official 0:22 Mario wields the Keyblade. He is a Keyblade Master.
You know, with how kingdom hearts is, this could really be canon.
Leigh I was in tears too, girl! Thank you Masahiro Sakurai, Satori Iwata (RIP) and the video game community. Our hearts were unlocked. Sora coming to Smash was “simple and clean.”🥺🥲👊🏾🔑

Today is an iconic day to remember
YES SORA IS IN SMASH! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
