Sora

Description
After as long as KH3 took, Sora is finally in rivals! And while he doesn't have his buddies, Donald and Goofy, he does have his magic, limits and items.

Sora is a slower floaty character, who is a master of air combos… and complex plot. You'll have to learn to utilize his combos and menu to be successful in mastering him. Let's key you in on everything Sora has at his disposal

Attacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora has a 3 hit Jab that ends in a rapid jab.
Sora has both a 3 part Nair and Fair, both of which can be gone into from the other or Uair/Dair letting you do long air combos.
Both D-air and U-air will bounce Sora up a little when you connect. Just be careful as you can only use each one once per jump, so make sure to not miss.
Ftilt is a 2 hit move that you can choose to do just the first hit or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's about all for the normals, now let's dive into the heart of Sora's moveset, his specials. Sora has 5 Neutral specials and 3 Forward specials. By default doing either of these moves will result in Sora doing Jab/Ftilt or Nair/Fair. By using the menu you'll be able to choose what Neutral and Fspecial to do, so let's go over how the menu works first.

Menu
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pressing down special will have sora stand still and open the menu. From there you can open the Magic, Items or Limit menus, which you do by pressing the button shown on the menu itself. In Magic and Limit you can pick your neutral and side specials, these go away when you use them, so you'll have to get good with using the menu to keep your specials active.

Now Items are another useful thing to manage. You start out with 2 Potions (heals 20%), 1 Hi-Potion (heals 35%), 2 Ether (recovers 40mp), 1 Hi-Ether (recovers 70mp) and 1 Elixir which heals you for 50% and fully fills your mp. These items won't come back so you gotta learn when to use them best.

While in the menu, pressing left or right will take you out of the menu or back to the main menu if in Magic/Items/Limit. But wait there's still more… just like the series(KH2 and KH3 at least), if you run out of mp you'll enter MP Recharge. You can't use magic or limits while in Recharge and your ethers/elixirs will be half as effective till it ends.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magic
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firaga (costs 15mp) Sora shoots out a fireball just like in Ultimate, you can also hold the button to keep shooting.
Blizzaga (costs 15mp) Sora shoots out a barrage of ice that freezes grounded foes.
Thundaga (costs 25mp) Sora aims the keyblade up and fires a mighty bolt. This is a powerful, but hard to land kill move that does more knockback near the tip.
Aeroga (costs 20mp) Sora summons a tornado in front of him, catching foes and hitting them a few times before launching them out.
Magnega (costs 15mp) Sora creates a vortex above him that catches and pulls all foes in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonic Blade (costs 15mp per use) Sora dashes in the direction you chose. You can do up to 2 follow-ups at the cost of more mp. This limit is very similar to Sora’s side special in Ultimate
Strike Raid (costs 30mp) Sora throws the keyblade forward then pulls it back catching and hitting anyone unlucky enough to be stuck in it, sets up for combos very well.
Ars Arcanum (costs 50mp to start, 85mp for the full move) Sora's big finale. He powers up before unleashing a flurry of 7 swings. If he catches someone in it they'll be forced to take all the hits and even more if you so choose. By mashing the attack button you can do up to 6 more hits with the last blow being a strong finisher.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of stuff, huh? Well we're not done yet cause we still got up special, which is Sora using the power of flowmotion to fly up a little before descending slowly. During the descent you can change direction and cancel it with an attack or dodge.

Sora’s alts include many references to other characters in his series, good or bad. He also has support for several stages and characters. All sprites originally made by the SSF2 team, much love to them! And also love to all the fans, enjoy Sora!

I just discovered a BUG!!! on Abyss endless mode. (because I want to have some fun doing a survival thing right.) if Sora uses blizzard on the boss it causes the game to crash...

The menu is really weird, at least for me since I changed the controls from the standard ones due to having a Switch Pro controller which Steam for some reason thinks it's an Xbox one.

You don't press B for magic/whatever the current menu says, you press Special , which for me it's on X (top button).
Similarly you press Attack for what it says to be on A, Jump for Limit/whatever option says to be on Y (in my case it's B, the bottom button), Parry for Items/whatever is said to be on RB and finally Taunt for Magnega and the Elixir.

I feel the UI there could be modified to say the action rather than the button. Or have the menu read the current controls to tell you correctly what buttons to press.

Finally, a good Sora Mod!

The last one I had was just a re-sprite of Guadua.
