[QUOTE="Admin, post: 53928, member: 1"] A chance meeting is part of the reason Sora from Kingdom Hearts joined Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as its final fighter. In the latest Masahiro Sakurai Famitsu column, translated by @[URL='https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1450855082203901954?s=20']PushDustIn[/URL] and @[URL='https://twitter.com/KodyNOKOLO/status/1450858303454580739?s=20']KodyNOKOLO[/URL] on Twitter, the Smash director pulled back the curtain on Sora's inclusion. According to the translation, Sakurai reiterated that getting Sora in the game was much more difficult than other fighters. However, Sakurai managed to bump into a Disney representative at an awards show, which seemed to kickstart the discussions that made Sora in Smash a reality. Sora's inclusion was finalized later than the rest of Ultimate's DLC roster. Sakurai said Fighters Pass 2 originally only had five fighters: Min Min, Steve, Sephiroth, Pyra/Mythra, and Kazuya. Then, after long discussions between Nintendo, Square Enix, and Disney, the Fighters Pass grew to six fighters. This is a full-circle moment for Sora and Kingdom Hearts.
