Trivia[]

  • Sora is the third fighter in the Smash Bros. franchise to be owned by a company that does not specialize primarily in game development, after Banjo & Kazooie and Steve (all of whom are owned by Microsoft), that being The Walt Disney Company.
  • Sora is the first character from a Square Enix developed game to be fully voiced in English, as Cloud, Hero, and Sephiroth are only voiced by their Japanese voice actors (Takahiro Sakurai, Mitsuki Saiga, and Toshiyuki Morikawa), in place of their English actors (Steve Burton, Rasmus Hardiker, and George Newbern).
    • Also, as his English voice actor, Haley Joel Osment, is also a screen actor and has starred in several films, most notably Forrest Gump and The Sixth Sense, this also makes Sora the first playable character to have a "celebrity voice actor", as this is often known as.
    • Sora is also the fourth Square Enix character in Smash.
