For those of you who don't know what Dissidia is, it's a Final Fantasy fighting game that kicks ass. Well, I had an idea - what if Kingdom Hearts characters were in it? In Dissidia, there's a hero and a villain with a deep connection, and they each have Brave attacks, Brave to HP, and HP attacks, as well as an EX Mode and an EX Burst. If the KH crew somehow appeared in the game, here's my picks for their abilities.

Sora appears wielding the Keyblade, dressed in his KH1 attire. He is described as "an aerial master using the powers of light". Sora's attacks are powerful from range and he can use combo attacks. However, he doesn't do much damage and is vulnerable in melee fighting due to the lag time of his moves. If an opponent manages to evade the attack, they can easily counter while Sora recovers. At close-range, if Sora misses, he is in extreme danger. Sora's moveset is as follows:
 
Sora's alternate costume is his KH2 attire, and in his alternate form his EX Form swaps colors - the white colorings become black and vice versa.

''Valor Combo'' - Sora unleashes an extended combo, then slams the opponent into the ground.<br>
===EX Mode===
''Wisdom Burst'' - Sora unleashes a bombardment of magical bolts at enemies before firing a larger bolt that does HP damage.<br>
''Master Vortex'' - Sora spins in place, dealing Brave damage before unleashing a shockwave that does HP damage.<br>
''Final Arcana'' - Sora zooms around the arena attacking wildly, before leaping into the air and descending, unleashing a shockwave.


'''HP Attacks'''
Sora's EX Mode is '''Drive Change''', where he transforms into Final Form, and his Keyblade turns into the Ultima Weapon from KH1 (in his alternate costume, he uses the Ultima Weapon from KH2). In EX Mode, Sora can glide, and he gains the special abilities "Magic Boost" and "Combo Boost". Magic Boost increases the strength of Sora's magic, while Combo Boost causes the Keyblade to leave waves of light when swung to do more hits.


''Light Wave'' - Sora slams the Keyblade into the ground and fires a blast of energy from it that travels along the ground.
For Sora's EX Burst '''Drive Crush''', the player must synchronize their button presses with Sora's movements as he pummels opponents with the power of his Drive Forms. Sora transforms into Valor form and dashes past enemies with a powerful strike, then changes into Wisdom form and fires a barrage of magic bolts. He then changes into Master form and uses a magic-enchanted keyblade strike, and finally turns into Limit form and uses a Strike Raid attack. The player must press Triangle at the right moment to link the four attacks together. If they get it right all four times, Sora ends the attack by changing back into Final Form and performing an extended combo ending with an overhead strike that causes an explosion
''Trinity'' - Sora summons a pillar of light around him to do damage.

For his EX Mode '''Drive Change''', Sora transforms into Final Form, and his Keyblade turns into the Ultima Weapon from KH1. In EX Mode, Sora can glide, and the lag between his attacks decreases, letting him attack much more swiftly. His keyblade also leaves behind waves of light when swung to do more damage. For his EX Burst '''Ragnarok''', the player must synchronize their button presses with Sora's movements. Sora dashes back and forth across enemies, and the player must press Triangle at the precise moment Sora comes close to land the hit. If done all five times, Sora ends the EX Burst by firing a barrage of lasers into the opponent.

==Riku==
Riku uses the Soul Eater blade and is in his KH1 outfit. He is "a warrior with the brute force of darkness". In contrast to Sora, Riku is extremely powerful in melee combat, striking opponents with swift, powerful combos that do heavy damage. However, his ranged attacks are weak, and if an opponent can keep their distance from Riku, he'll be hard pressed to get in a good hit. He does have ranged attacks, but they're stronger at closer range than long. Many of Riku's moves are "dark" versions of Sora's, but function differently. Riku has the following moves:
Riku uses the Soul Eater blade and is in his KH1 outfit. He fights Sora to settle their rivalry and mocks Sora about the Keyblade, claiming he is it's true destined user. It is discovered in Shade Impulse that Riku gave into the temptation of darkness and was controlled by Chaos due to his weak heart, and is freed once defeated.

Sora

Sora appears wielding the Keyblade, dressed in his KH1 attire. He is hesitant to fight Riku and puts up a brave front about fighting him, but in truth is worried for his friend's safety.

Sora is an "an aerial master using the powers of light". Sora's attacks are powerful from range and he excels are both melee combos and long-range magic. However, he doesn't do much damage and is vulnerable in melee fighting due to the lag time of his moves. If an opponent manages to evade the attack, they can easily counter while Sora recovers. At close-range, if Sora misses, he is in extreme danger. Sora battles using his signature attacks from across the KH series, as well as moves based on his Drive Forms

Sora's alternate costume is his KH2 attire, and in his alternate form his EX Form swaps colors - the white colorings become black and vice versa.

EX Mode

Sora's EX Mode is Drive Change, where he transforms into Final Form, and his Keyblade turns into the Ultima Weapon from KH1 (in his alternate costume, he uses the Ultima Weapon from KH2). In EX Mode, Sora can glide, and he gains the special abilities "Magic Boost" and "Combo Boost". Magic Boost increases the strength of Sora's magic, while Combo Boost causes the Keyblade to leave waves of light when swung to do more hits.

For Sora's EX Burst Drive Crush, the player must synchronize their button presses with Sora's movements as he pummels opponents with the power of his Drive Forms. Sora transforms into Valor form and dashes past enemies with a powerful strike, then changes into Wisdom form and fires a barrage of magic bolts. He then changes into Master form and uses a magic-enchanted keyblade strike, and finally turns into Limit form and uses a Strike Raid attack. The player must press Triangle at the right moment to link the four attacks together. If they get it right all four times, Sora ends the attack by changing back into Final Form and performing an extended combo ending with an overhead strike that causes an explosion

Riku

Riku uses the Soul Eater blade and is in his KH1 outfit. He fights Sora to settle their rivalry and mocks Sora about the Keyblade, claiming he is it's true destined user. It is discovered in Shade Impulse that Riku gave into the temptation of darkness and was controlled by Chaos due to his weak heart, and is freed once defeated.

Riku is "a warrior with the brute force of darkness". In contrast to Sora, Riku is extremely powerful in melee combat, striking opponents with powerful combos that do heavy damage. However, his ranged attacks are weak, and if an opponent can keep their distance from Riku, he'll be hard pressed to get in a good hit. He does have ranged attacks, but they're stronger at closer range than long. Many of Riku's moves are "dark" versions of Sora's, but function differently. He otherwise uses attacks based on his Sleights from Chain of Memories and his Limit attacks from Kingdom Hearts II.

Riku's alternate costume is his KH2 attire. His alternate form EX Mode is his dark robe.
