not sora related, but will there be any kingdom hearts related assist trophies or such?

Dunno

So...................... sora changes form apex?????? Im expecting them to change flow-motion to where it's more of a combo move and less of a recovery move. Also the flow-motion pseudo wave dash should be refined and given its own animation. I hope they buff his down tilt and nerf or change his dash attack to where it's not so abuse-able. As far as animations go, they should update his face by giving him a nose, ears, and eyebrows like the rest of the cast. Sora as well as DK and a few other characters don't have proper tumbling animations where they go into a spinning state aswell as animations where they clap when they lose in the result screen so that should be fixed. lastly i hope they improve on his stance as well as his missed tech animation because the pixels can get a bit sloppy. Still hyped as hell to try him out in beta though, don't see why he can't be a decent mid tier this time but only time will tell.

I hope they keep his ledge get up animation.

Make it do huge KB so that it is a killoption, but who the f*** would fall for it? xD

Ultimate shieldbreak punish: Push opponent to center stage, use >100% ledge attack. Win.

isnt cloud and riku going to be in the game?

We don't know. The roster you're referring to was scrapped ages ago.

In other news, I am going to be running a live Sora guide around the week beginning 27th June (day will be confirmed) starting around 10am-1pm BST, so if anyone is either:
1) Interested in co-narrating the guide and collaborating with the main guide or wanting to discuss matchups.
2) Providing notes for the guide in order to further improve the quality.

Drop me a PM stating what you would like to do, or just leave it in the thread. If you want to co-narrate/co-commentate the guide with me, send me your Skype name and all will be peachy.

Speaking of Flowmotion:
(Tested on a training mode Ness)

DThrow -> Flowmotion is true from:
0-41% with no angling. No DI
41-79% with upwards angling. No DI


EDIT: Tested it on DK, and with buffering of the Flowmotion, DThrow->Flowmotion is true from 0-105% with NO ANGLING.
EDIT 2: DThrow->Side-B stops working entirely on DK at 105%

That's the issue though

Not sure if this was intended but sora's flowmotion is more of a recovery move than a combo one. The move has too much start up to be comboed into and the distance leads to an easy SD on wiff. Even on hit the move tends to glitch and has inconsistent knock back angles.

Its also a really handy movement option. Even if it may not work like [we think] it should, it still has uses in combat.

There's a reason soras that abuse flowmotion tend to do better than those that dont.

I believe I heard this in the apex stream by Tson but I want to clarify. Sora and G&W were the only characters confirmed in beta to be able to jump as well as act out of their up special correct? Not sure if their scraping this or not considering the amount of complaints G&W gets in PM for this. But if their going to remove the hitbox on sora Up special then he should at least be able to retain his double jump.
