So let's be real. How much did Disney pay to put him in? This all has to be rigged, there's no fricking way people actually wanted him in, Disney had to have waved Money in Sakurai's face to let him in. There's no way he won the Ballet, it was probably Shantae or something.
I refuse to believe this.

>Disney paid to put this character in smash
>When there are zero disney references in the actual DLC
moron
Sakurai probably didn't want Mickey and whoever else in. He was most likely the stubborn one here. They aren't video game characters after all, then again neither is Sora.
>How much did Disney pay
pffft AHAHAHAHAHAHA
There's no way Sora got in through normal means anon.
Nintendo payed Disney, not the other way around. As Sakurai said, they knew that the people wanted him, but it took up to 6 years of negotiations to even have just the mickey symbol on the keyblade. Nintendo for sure paid a handsome sum for that symbol alone, even if Square Enix gave permission for the actual original characters long ago.
>it was probably Shantae or something
I'm sorry you didn't get who you wanted but this is just delusion
>How much did Disney pay to put him in?
>it was probably Shantae or something
Shantaegays never fail to make me laugh.
Frick off Deltacuck
Any pick would be better and more recognizable than Sora from Shitdom Farts.
>character is extremely popular in Japan
>wins the ballot with combined votes from fans around the world
NOOOOO WHY DIDNT MY WESTERN LITERAL WHO GET IN THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY TOP OF THE BALLOT
>ballet
English is a dumb language shut the frick up.
>there's no fricking way people actually wanted him in
What world are you living in? KH is massively popular and people have a irrationally emotional connection to it driven by seven layers of nostalgia.
>KH is massively popular
It really isn't. Sales and praise don't prove anything about popularity.
>Sales and praise don't prove anything about popularity.
Holy cope
Frick you. Disney HAD to pay to get Sora in. There's no other way.
Ganker land is unironically the best way to determine if something is good or popular or not. Ive gotten almost all of my news about games and the world itself from Ganker. So shut up, I'm a veteran.
>I'm a veteran.
Holy shit man, I'm so sorry to have slighted you. How much do you get for your veteran's discount? Did you lose anyone in the war?
>Frick you. Disney HAD to pay to get Sora in. There's no other way.
Wojak posting should be banned
have a nice day zoomed, Shantae is a beloved Nintendo classic
Cope. They paid him.
Ganker hates KH. And that's proof enough for me.
>Disney HAD to pay to get Sora in
No, It was Nintendo that had to pay them but at the same time it was probably a comparative pittance since there's mutual benefit.
>since there's mutual benefit.
This. People seem to have glossed over that KH is coming to the Switch now. Sora in Smash likepy provides both companies with potential to make extra money outside of Smash now.
I'm going to die mad that KH is coming to Switch as cloud games when there's no reason for it.
If it makes you feel better it's going to flop
>Ganker land is unironically the best way to determine if something is good or popular or not
Then I guess noone in the world cares about Shantae at all since there's never threads about her
It might not be popular in Ganker land, but it's huge elsewhere, especially in Japan. Get out of your bubble.
don't bother, this is somebody yelling that huge amounts of people liking it and large sales numbers doesn't mean anybody likes it
>Sales and praise don't prove anything about popularity.
They're in direct relation to popularity.
So what argument do you have to say it isn't popular? Your word?
Kingdom Hearts has been a normie game since its inception
>m-muh lore
Most people dont give a shit about the lore, hence why they had to water down 3 with so much exposition with people who didnt care enough to go through all that shit anyway. and even then a lot of them probably skip a ton of cutscenes. People only really know the lore in 1 due to being unable to skip cutscenes, but it is still popular
>Thinking Disney gives half a frick about video games
Sakurai had to grovel on his hands and knees and threaten to kill himself in Bob Chapek's office before they even considered it.
Yeah nobody actually wanted Sora, except hundreds of thousands of twitter and youtube gays screaming SORA every fricking time before a character reveal for years now and every single poll having Sora in #1 for like 6 years now.
Fricking moron.
>How much did Disney pay
little or nothing, disney barely cares about kingdom hearts and even putting sora in disneyland for a period of time was just a flex on their ownership of the character
>there's no fricking way people actually wanted him in,
genuinely, unironically, spiritually, physically, metaphorically, mentally and truthfully, hoes mad
>Disney being the one paying here
Shantae fans really are a special batch.
Anon you vastly overestimate the value Disney puts in KH, or gaming in general. Smash is a special case though and any other company than Nintendo would have been told to piss off, if not outright liquidated.
Disney and Nintendo going through the legal hoops to allow this wasn't just a matter of waving money around.
>it was probably Shantae or something
Anon you are fricking moronic
Shantae will never be a Smash fighter
Why is that the copyrights for Square Enix games are all over the place?
>lord knows what's going on with ff7
>sugiyama owns the rights to dragon quest's music with an iron fist
>disney basically flat out owns kingdom hearts
>even chrono trigger seems to be a mess with other companies like bird studio, armor project and shueisha
Like it's pretty shocking that they somehow managed to retain the rights to Geno and the other Mario RPG originals, you'd think that shit would be owned by Nintendo, just like how they own Rare's Donkey Kong and Star Fox (really Dinosaur Planet leftovers) characters.
>Shantaegays in shambles after Bayo
>Now in shambles after Sora
Probably the only thing I will miss
