Sora (SSF2)

Sora is a pseudo-veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash 2. He was added to the game in Version 0.6. His sprites are custom-made and are based on his appearance in Kingdom Hearts II. Sora's moveset bears almost no resemblance to his moveset in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as he was added to Flash 2 long before his official Smash debut.

Sora is currently ranked 6th on the tier list for Version 1.3.2 of the game. He has fast, disjointed attacks that grant him crazy juggling potential, especially with his aerial attacks that grant him an extra vertical boost on contact. He has a strong edgeguarding game, as his Strike Raid and Fire can be used as a ledgetrap and his aerial proficiency allows him to carry characters deep offstage, assuming he doesn't KO them first. His recovery is pretty good as well, since he can act out of Aerial Recovery and use Flowmotion to give him extra horizontal distance if necessary. Flowmotion, when angled downwards, can give Sora a long pseudo-wavedash known as the Flowdash, further supplementing his movement options. His KO moves, including forward smash, forward air, back air, and the Fire and Thunder spells from the Command Deck, can also serve as combo finishers, giving him a good amount of KO potential for a character of his archetype.

However, Sora is both a lightweight and has low falling speed, significantly decreasing his overall survivability. His recovery has some faults, as Aerial Recovery doesn't go very high and lacks hitboxes while his Flowmotion is somewhat slow and puts him into helpless afterwards, making him vulnerable offstage if he's left without his double jump. His individual attacks are fairly weak on their own, forcing Sora to string together long combos to properly rack up enough damage to score KOs. This also leaves his attacks with rather low priority for a sword character. Outside of their utility as combo finishers, his KO moves aren't the best, often relying on higher than normal damage, hard reads, or careful positioning to KO reliably.

Sora's strengths cannot be overstated, leading to his position in top tier.
