Smash Ultimate Sora DLC abilities and moves

Here are all of Sora’s abilities and his moveset as a fighter in Smash Bros Ultimate:

3-Hit Combo — three quick attacks become a combo
Magic — ‘B’ Neutral, three alternating magic attacks based on Firaga (quick fireballs), Blizzaga (ice attack), and Thundaga (row of lightning).
Sonic Blade — Left/Right + B, three slide attacks in any direction.
Aerial Sweet — Up + B, jump and twirl attack similar to Link’s.
Counterattack — Down + B.
Sealing the Keyhole — Final Smash.

Sora is described as a “relatively straightforward” fighter by Sakurai compared to some of the more elaborate fighters in Ultimate, so should be an easy character for most players to get the hang of. He is a specialist in air combat, with a floaty jump, although that makes him a lighter character.
