Sora(Kingdom Hearts) vs Link(Legend of Zelda)

Yep. Been that way for a while.

We should be proud. :'😉

True, but I said not to talk about it.... it's taboo... not again. Dx

very, very long thread... me, and Aura came from this one. xD

@Neme: Unless you're a character with higher reactions than speed, Master Chief for instance.

Also... Ya'know it doesn't matter really. Without movement speed to advance on Sora, all this means is that Link has the means to counter the attacks. Seeing as he can't dodge or get to a position to strike this is all he can do. And it doesnt help as one strike will cripple Link, due to the large strength difference.

How does sora have the strength advantage again? With the golden gaunlets link ripped a mountain apart, can he not apply th?is force to his counter strike

Well he only threw a large pillar, not quite mountain sized. But that'd be awesome.

And the strength to throw that is below the strength Sora displayed when fightibg the Groundshaker and playing building tennins with Xemnas.

I don't think the building tennis counts. They were fighting in KingdomHearts where everything is made out of hearts. Would that not super charge his keyblade.
Also why wouldn't link use a deku nut. Gets him a free hit with a big-goron-spin attack

It only empowers those that take control of it, and Xemnas was the one who absorbed its power. That and they weren't in Kingdom Hearts during that fight, they were in Xemnas' own dimension.

Don't think a flash will effect him too much if at all, if it can hit him.

The deku nut can immobalize animals the undead sexy sword wonen wizards ninjas and with enough force damage a god.
And during the fight the buildings were just floating around they didn't seem tio heavy. And during the groundshaker fight all sora did was slash at fis foot. He reeled back in pain sora did'nt lift him or anythibg.

Yeah, a mini-flashbang with minor damage effect on some enemies.

They were floating because Xemnas made them do so. I can assure you that a solid block at that size its very heavy.
Actually Sora collided with it(proving his strength is on par) then deflected the beast(strength above). Its evident by the struggle the two had that it was due to strength, not slashing its foot.

But i seriously doupt the buildings were made out of brick and concrete.
And his foot wasn't that big.
Asuming their strength is around the same. Link has fought teleporter and speedsters in the past. Most of the guys he fights do have greater mobility than him. While sora's strategies never go too far from dash and bash, link studies their fighting style, finds patterns and weaknesses, then exploits them ti his advantage. I think that will compensate for his lack of speed

This is OoT Link right? mmm

Thats the one i've been talking about, but i think any link counts

They can be made of something lighter than water and it would still be heavier than Link's feat. As is the stomp of a 60m beast made of earth and stone. Comparing the figures, Link is outclassed.

Dark Link, Zant and Ghirahim are the only speedsters, none of them are close to KH speeds. Wont get much time to study an attacking Sora :I

Inverted song of time would halve sora's speed using nayru's love off the start would give him plenty of time to play it. Using the bunny hood would then increase his speed. And since the song of storms removes curses that should negate magnet and his time stop spell.
And stalfos lizalfos dinfols geros and gero masters all faster than him and have similiar styles to sora. Not sora speed but enough to give link expierence dealing with faster foes

Dont think he's ever casually effected time with it.. not that playing a song mid combat is advised. And Nayru's love wont protect him; Ganon can still damage Link with it on, Sora is stronger than Ganon.

Bunny hood aint that fast tbh. Magnet isnt the same as Jinx. Jinx is a status effect, Magnet is not. And none of those guys are fast in the least, peak human at best.

I didn't say they were as fast as him but the garo master has a really similiar moveset and is pretty fast. Sora isn't that fast normaly. He just gets these weird energy bursts. Most of the time he struggles to carry his keyblade.
I'm not saying link is as strong or fast as sora but he's smarter and more adaptable.(can gannon really break through nayru's love?)

Have never once seen him stugle to carry his Keyblade. Sora's a character that doesnt demonstrate his feats all too often, but the ones he show definatly count.

Link's most likely smarter. Not as combat smart or as adaptable as Sora though, his reaction commands prove this (like turning their attacks on themselves/each other)

Yup, from the vid I saw Ganon's normal 3 heart slash did half a heart of damage when NL was up

But in both kingdom hearts and recoded, it shows sora is next to useless without his keyblade. Being as link is not as strong or fast as sora so the keyblade wouldn't go all out at the start, giving link the time to play the song in NL (link can apply it to combat. He did it to the aliens) plus the song of storm can be used to negate spells that effect the envirement not just status conditions, so stop and magnet still mute.

Not sure about his KH2 self, anywho thats without the Keyblade. He has it her.

Sora > Ganon, NL wont save him. Even if the Song did that, what are the chances that he ill be able to play the tune when being spun and damaged by Magnet and attacked by Sora?

Aliens? O.o
