Honestly, I think the Robin fight is a direct reference to fighting Organization 13 in Castle Oblivion or the Castle that Never was. They do wear black coats after-all. I also believe that Krystal could represent Aqua's fighting technique "Spellweaver" with the ice and all, as well as the fact that they both use staff-like weapons. Finally, I believe Ashley in Terra's spirit battle represents Maleficant as they're both witches who assist Terra. Other than that, I believe you got everything right. I love these references that Sakurai put in. The Kingdom Hearts fan in me is pleased.
I think what sells that Ganondorf fight in Classic Mode as representing Darkside is the music track used, as Destiny's Force is usually played during Dakrside fights, especially that specific one on the crumbling Destiny Islands. Likewise, a detail about the Xion Spirit fight I really appreciated was the music chosen. Shrouding Dark Cloud was the track used during the first phase of the Xion boss fight in Days, and is the only one of the four used in that fight(the other three are Vim and Vigor, Fight and Away, and Vector to the Heavens) available in Smash. The Hands work to punctuate Sora's Classic Mode since he is Ultimate's final character, and therefore most players' last run through. Others have also noted that the Hands somewhat evoke Mickey's and/or Xehanort's gloves, but I think they were just going for the 'Conclusion of Smash' angle. Or laziness, given how often they spammed that fight at the end of Classic Modes.
The Robin fight I thought he was fighting Organization 13, and Gabon he was blue and it look like the stage look hell related . I was assuming he was fighting Hades .
Good call, I just replayed Sora’s Classic Mode and it could also very well be Organization XIII, especially since it’s two male Robins and a female Robin, just like the Xion spirit battle. It could just very well be Roxas, Axel, and Xion.
I know nothing about Kingdom Hearts, so just finishing classic mode with Sora and then seeing THIS video is really helpful. I'm not sure if it's a series I can get into but I find this creative integration really interesting. Sora's definitely one of my new favorite characters.
Haha yeah it definitely isn’t a series for everyone, I’d say if you’re a huge fan of either Disney or anime I think it may be worth it - otherwise it may not be for you. I appreciate the comment though! I was nervous I may not have really gone all too in depth for those who weren’t familiar with the series.
Crystal could represent 2 things 1. It could be in realtion to D-Link from BBS and the fact of her calling the power of her friends 2. As you know the BBS trio all have a big reference to the fact that the BBS trio also have a element attached to there gameplay Style. Sense Aqua is mainly one that has Ice (Mainly do to spellweaver) Crytal is the only AT who Is Blue, Fights with a weapon, and uses ice like Aqua
I don't think Krystal was supposed to be anyone specific in the Aqua Spirit Battle. I think it was to represent that she was more well known for her magic. More so than Terra and Ven was. Krystal was probably chosen specifically cause Blizzard magic is what Aqua was more known for using. Just a thought
I do think what makes Robin a fitting choice to represent Nobodies from not just the hair, but also the coat too that the Organization XIII wears. Robin too wears a hooded black coat, so that's a strong reference there.
Good call! There’s a Kingdom Hearts podcast called Ansem Report that also brought up a good point - Sephiroth couldn’t have been used because he’s also DLC. DLC characters aren’t included in any character’s Classic Mode.
One other thing about ashley assist. Her hair turns white and her eyes change colour when she uses dark magic, kinda lkke what happens when someone gets 'norted.
I feel like Daisy using the flower weapon might be a reference to Kairi's keyblade, seeing as it's flower themed, and likewise, I assumed Krystal represented both Aqua's Spellweaver style and the clones she uses during the fight with her. Aside from that, I absolutely love this video, as I missed quite a few references from his Classic mode, so couldn't figure out the Robin's with Xion for the life of me. XD
Oh good call!!! I can’t believe I didn’t even think of Kairi’s Keyblade at all. And yup - Krystal representing Spellweaver seems to be the prevailing thought. Oh well I’ll stick to her being Mickey in my head cause it’s more fun 😅😅
I'm pretty sure Robin's represent the Organization 13 in Smash Bros, rather than nobodies as a whole species The Robins in Classic Mode could be Marluxia, Larxene and Vexen in Castle Oblivion (The Kalos League resembles it)

Bro why don’t you have more subs. You seriously deserve it
Thank you!!! We’re working hard to get those subs haha

Dark Riku being represented by both Links makes a lot more sense.
You're right, there's a lotta different ways to see the classic mode! The hands might be mickey or xehanort's gloves

@@thepanicbros true that's a good point

Roxas having regen make sense since in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days have a Cure spell that puts a Regen on the user.
I'm pretty sure Robin's represent the Organization 13 in Smash Bros, rather than nobodies as a whole species
The Robins in Classic Mode could be Marluxia, Larxene and Vexen in Castle Oblivion (The Kalos League resembles it)
I thought the ganondorf fight was a reference to Ansem
Can someone please talk about the Cool “Ssssss” for the ending of each Non-Hands Round?
Because I think it’s underrated.
