After years of fan campaigning, Sora of Kingdom Hearts fame is coming to Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Nintendo announced on Tuesday that everyone’s favorite keyblade wielder is joining the roster, and fans went bananas.
Masahiro Sakurai, Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s game director, was quite excited to finally reveal the 82nd and final character to be added to the game. Primarily because fans had wanted Sora added to Smash Brothers before Ultimate itself was even announced. Well, it finally happened, and Twitter could barely contain its excitement. Can you blame them, though? Some have been waiting for this for well over a decade!

It’s still a surreal sight to see.

Of course, it’s one thing to talk about fan frenzy, and it’s another to witness it first-hand. So below, you’ll find a handy little curated list of how people are reacting to Sora in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
Most of it is overwhelmingly positive, with a little bit of salt sprinkled in for good measure from DOOM, Crash Bandicoot, and, um, Waluigi fans sad that their favorite characters didn’t make the cut. Regardless, the memes are incredible.
