Biography
THAT'S THE POWER OF THE KEYBLADE!

He lives on the Destiny Islands with his best friends Riku and Kairi, and all three of them dream of venturing from Destiny Islands to find out what lies beyond. His home was consumed by darkness, sending him on a journey to many worlds across the Realm of Light. An upbeat youth, he travels with his new friends Goofy and Donald Duck in search of his missing friends, and uses his newly acquired weapon, the Keyblade, to put an end to the threats that destroyed his world.

Opening
Sora is attempting to save his friends with Donald Duck and Goofy by his side. As they travel around in their Gummi Ship, Sora notices a strange anomaly, which turns out to be a warphole to a hybrid of multiple planets. Sora realizes that Riku or Kairi might be there, so he goes off to investigate.

Rival
Name: Sephiroth

Reason: Sora is fighting many foes that he has never met. When he sees Sephiroth, he immediately tries to talk to him. Sephiroth, however, doesn't care about Sora, leading to Sora asking for a sparring match. Sephiroth agrees, because it's a nice way to "waste time until he shows up." The Kingdom Key clashes with Masamune in a violent shower of sparks.

Connection: Sora and Sephiroth both belong to Square Enix and have met before, leading to a very natural setup for a rivalry. Sora has beaten Sephiroth in battle twice before, once in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, so this element is also played up. In addition, while Cloud vs Sephiroth and Sora vs Riku are popular choices, the swapping of rivals allows for a deeper and fresher matchup.

Ending
After Sora has defeated all the foes that stood in his way, he seals the keyhole of the world. Saddened by the fact that he failed to find his friends, he returns to the Gummi Ship. However, Goofy points out that Sora is much stronger now, and Donald agrees. Sora says:

"I'll need all the help I can get if i want to find my friends. Can I count on you guys?"

"Of course!"

"That's what we're here for! Ah-hyuck!"

Gameplay
Sora has the ability to wield the Keyblade. He can use various abilities involving the keyblade and also is capable of using magic. Sora has a great aerial game, hard-to-gimp recovery, good disjointed range on most of his moves, amazing aerial combos, useful advanced techniques, and decent ground game. However, he still suffers from being lightweight.
