Ursalink 114 Posted October 10, 2021 I wasn't able to post anything here for a couple of weeks, but I managed to solve the problem now. So now I have to comment something I wanted to say since then. Well, I have to say that the idea of Sora being part of Super Smash Bros Ultimate is really fitting. I mean, he's the ultimate "crossover character" thanks to his ability to travel to different worlds, from the most dangerous to the funniest ones. And the most funny fact here is that the idea of Sora meeting all the characters from the Super Smash Bros Ultimate could work to be part of the official story of "Kingdom Hearts". 1º) Thanks to "Union X", we know the world of "Wreck-It Ralph" could have a big role in the future. And in this Disney movie, they gathered a lot of characters from popular videogames. If we compare the movie with this game, which franchises coudl Sora meet in "Wreck-It Ralph" world? Let's see: - "Sonic the Hedgehog": Sora can't run as fast as Sonic, but his Flowmotion allows him to move in a similar way. Sonic would be an excellent replacement for Donald or Goofy. - "Pac-Man": The modern version of Pac-Man could be very useful to Sora, and I mean the version that we saw in the latest animated series on TV. - "Street Fighters": I don't know much about this franchise, and I haven't seen many of its character fighting using weapons; but I can see Sora fighting alongside Ryu or Ken. - "Mario": I suppose Mario could be the replacement of King Mickey here. Mario and Sora are similar enough to work great together. By extention, Mario's franchise could allow Yoshi and Wario to interact with Sora too. - "Donkey Kong": Donkey Kong is an extention of Mario's franchise, so if Sora meets Mario, he could meet Donkey Kong too. There's also the fact that Wreck-It Ralph is based on Donkey Kong, and if Sora fought alongside Ralph in KH III, he can definitely work alongside Donkey Kong. - "Metroid": This franchise didn't appear in "Wreck-It Ralph", but the world of "Hero's Duty" has elements from it; not to mention Calhoun is based on Samus Aran. So this is another franchise that Sora could find suitable for his style. 2º) There are other franchises in "Super Smash Bros Ultimate" that didn't appear on "Wreck-It Ralph", but Sora's previous adventures could be a hint about which other could work for him to visit. Let's see which ones: - "Final Fantasy": Need any explanation? Final Fantasy is already half of Kingdom Hearts' Universe, so Sora could visit some of these worlds. Also, he already knows Cloud and Sephirot. - "Pokemon": Many people laughed at me when I mentioned this, and I don't see why. Have they forgot about the Spirit Dream Eaters in "Dream Drops Distance"? Don't tell me you didn't see their resemblance with Pokemon? Even the last scene in the game with Sora, surrounded with all the Spirit Dream Eaters made me think about Ash Ketchum along all the Pokemon he has captured through the whole series; with most of them now living at Oak's Lab. I have to add, it was really funny in the trailer the scene where I saw Sora attacking Mewtwo. - "The Legend of Zelda": Well, I think Link (at least his adult self) and Sora are similar enough to work great together. Don't you agree? I can't talk about the other franchises because I don't know them, but I suppose all the games that are about adventures and have human looking characters like Sora (or even anthropomorphic animals) could work great with Sora. What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ocean's rage 772 Posted October 11, 2021 i think the idea of having to make smash canon to KH is nonsensical and feels like taking a bad joke too far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said, the key could be the world of "Wreck-It Ralph", as Sonic, Mario and other characters from videoagems made cameos in the movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we could have a similar crossover if Sora visits the world of "Wreck-It Ralph". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To make a promotion for Sega and Nintendo's characters? Back in the day, Barbie was going to appear in the first Toy Story's movie, but Mattel wasn't sure the movie would be a success and they forbid Disney from using their toy. That's why Bo Peep was created. Playskool didn't object however in using Mr Potato, and they did it right. Because of the sucess of "Toy Story", Playskool's sales of Mr Potato were highly increased. After this, Mattel allowed Disney to use Barbie in Toy Story 2 and 3. The same can work if Sega and Nintendo allow their characters to appear in another franchise to promote them.

Even if they don't need promoting, it's something fans would love to see. Not all Disney's fans like Mario and Sonic, and not all Sonic and Mario's fans like Disney. It's a way to "expand" their influences. Sometimes, in order to gain a great profit, you have to give the public what they want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, they managed to use both Eggman/Robotnik and Sonic in both movies of Wreck-it Ralph, but only Bowser appeared in the mocies, while Mario was just referenced. How is it they managed to use Mario's arch-enemy but not Mario himself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
