Fans would be hard-pressed to find a game in Nintendo’s library that has such a diverse and legendary cast that it would rivalSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. It represents not only the company’s history but has fighters from several corners of gaming as well. The roster includes some of the most iconic gaming characters in this one game, especially with the twelve DLC fighters that were added after launch. The final of these DLC fighters was one of the most beloved and celebrated additions,Sora from Square Enix’sKingdom Heartsfranchise.
TheSuper Smash Bros.franchise is no stranger to fan-made mods for its characters too, with many creating additional fighters or brand-new costumes for the playable roster. With Sora’s release, fans have gone the distance to mod in a variety of othercharacters fromKingdom Heartsthat would work in-game. One character in particular that fans have wanted to be added into the game is Roxas, Sora’s Nobody introduced inKingdom Hearts 2.

A few months ago, one prolific modder known as Joe T.E. decided to mod Roxas into the game, usingSora’s appearance inSmash Ultimateas the base. This mod for Roxas is of the same high quality that he is known for. Most notably, instead of simply porting the assets intoSmash Ultimate’s engine, he painstakingly recreates them to have them fit within the art style and aesthetics of the game. This can be seen in several pictures shared by Joe T.E., as Roxas' clothes, hair, and other details match when compared to Sora.
This mod, like many other mods created by Joe T.E., can only be used with the latest release of the custom firmware to run the mod. While this mod has been around since March, it only included Roxas' outfit when he appears in Twilight Town. The most recent update to the mod gaveRoxas his iconic Organization 13 outfit, the black trench coat that is commonly associated with the character. These versions of his outfits are based on how they appear in Kingdom Hearts 3, though they have been scaled according to Sora’s proportions inSmash Ultimate.
This update also added a few other smaller fixes, such as the ability to be placed over any of Sora’s costume slots, his Boxing Ring title, and more. Many fans praised Joe’s work on thisSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatemod, complimenting him for the polish that went into adding Roxas into the game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis available now for Nintendo Switch.
