User:Drake Clawfang/KH in Dissidia
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
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:
Brave Attacks
Blitz - Sora's basic attack is a simple three-hit combo. However, he is vulnerable after using it.
Ars Arcanum - an aerial combo that hits multiple times.
Strike Raid - Sora hurls the Keyblade towards opponents. Depending on their distance, the move can strike three times, or twice, or maybe not at all.
Sonic Rave - Sora dashes forward to damage enemies multiple times, depending on how long they're caught in the strike.
Light Fire - Sora spins and sends out a trio of fireballs that home in on opponents.
Gleaming Blizzard - Sora launches a barrage of ice shards that hit over a large area with medium range.
Shining Thunder - Sora conjures several thunderbolts to slam down around opponents.
Magnet Burst - Sora creates a vortex that draws enemies in, doing damage multiple times the longer they're caught in it.
Brave to HP Attacks
Valor Combo - Sora unleashes an extended combo, then slams the opponent into the ground.
Wisdom Burst - Sora unleashes a bombardment of magical bolts at enemies before firing a larger bolt that does HP damage.
Master Vortex - Sora spins in place, dealing Brave damage before unleashing a shockwave that does HP damage.
Final Arcana - Sora zooms around the arena attacking wildly, before leaping into the air and descending, unleashing a shockwave.
HP Attacks
Light Wave - Sora slams the Keyblade into the ground and fires a blast of energy from it that travels along the ground. Trinity - Sora summons a pillar of light around him to do damage.
EX Mode
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:
Brave Attacks
Impulse - Riku slams opponents with a combo. The final attack unleashes an energy blast that knocks them into the air.
Dark Raid - Riku throws the Soul Eater at opponent. It hits multiple times, if they're close enough.
Helm Split - Riku strikes a mid-air opponent several times, then slams them into the ground.
Barrage - Riku twirls the Soul Eater and fires a barrage of dark energy orbs.
Dark Firaga - Riku conjures several fireballs to circle him.
Black Blizzard - Riku summons an ice pillar in front of him.
Shadow Thundaga - Riku fires several thunderbolts from his hand at enemies.
Chaos Aeroga - Riku creates a dark whirlwind around himself for a short time, striking enemies when he draws close.
Brave to HP Attacks
XIII Blades - Riku summons several shadowy, large copies of the Soul Eater, which spin around him to do damage.
Dark Flare - Riku strikes a mid-air opponent several times, then creates an orb of dark energy that explodes to do HP damage.
Dark Maelstrom - Riku spins towards opponents, doing damage before unleashing a shockwave to hit their HP.
Dark Aura - Riku zooms around the arena attacking wildly, before leaping into the air and descending, unleashing a shockwave.
HP Attacks
Master Heart - Riku summons a dark aura around the Soul Eater, giving it a large striking range as he swings it to attack.
All's End - Riku summons a dark aura around the Soul Eater and throws it. It homes it close to opponents, and unleashes an explosion of dark power
EX Mode
Riku's EX Mode is Dark Change, in which the Soul Eater transforms into the Dark Keyblade, and Riku turns into his dark form. His attacks all increase in power, and he gains the ability to glide. Riku's keyblade strikes also leave behind waves of dark energy, doing additional damage. For his EX Burst Apocalyspe, the player must synchronize their button presses with Riku's movements. Riku dashes at opponents surrounded in a dark aura, and the player must press Triangle at the precise moment the Riku comes close to land the hit. If done all five times, Riku ends the EX Burst by firing a barrage of dark fireballs into the opponent.
Arena
The arena for KH is Hollow Bastion. The arena is a series of balconies and staircases set into walls. In the center of the arena is a single large castle turret, and tendrils of energy weave around the turret and to the balconies. The battle tracks are the following:

Attack Sources
Sonic Rave, Ars Arcanum and Strike Raid are command abilities for Sora in KH1, while Blitz is a sleight in CoM. His Brave to HP attacks are each named for one of his drive forms, and is based on some sort of attack that drive can perform. Light Wave is based on one of Valor Form's attacks, and Trinity is another of Sora's command abilities. His EX Burst is based on his Ragnarok command.
Helm Split, Impulse, Barrage and Dark Raid are named for sleights Riku uses in CoM. Dark Flare is based on a move used by Sora's anti-form. Dark Maelstrom and Dark Aura are more sleights from CoM. XIII Blades, Master Heart and All's End are Riku's limit commands in KH2. His EX Burst is not based on any of Riku's original moves, but is named Apocalypse to parallel the name of Sora's Burst.
