Fire (Sora)

Firaga was originally 's standard special move in Super Smash Flash 2 prior to v0.9b of the demo, where it was replaced by Strike Raid.

Overview
When performed, Sora holds the Keyblade up behind him and shouts "Fire!" as he summons six small fireballs, which revolve around him quickly. The fireballs circle him for about one second before disappearing, ending the move. Opponents that make contact with the fireballs are hit up to once with flame damage, and the move itself has a sweet spot at the very beginning. Opponents hit by the sweet spot are dealt 15% damage with strong knockback, while opponents hit by the sour spot are dealt 7% damage with weak knockback. Firaga has high priority and is mostly used at the end of Sora's combos. If used in the air, Sora's decent is slowed and can move slightly to either side, which aids his horizontal recovery.

Origin
Firaga is a recurring spell in the KINGDOM HEARTS series, acting as the most powerful variant of Fire, another fire-based spell and the first spell introduced in the series, originating in the first game in the series. Much like Fire, Firaga unleashes flames to incinerate foes, inflicting Fire-type damage; however, the specific execution of the spell differs between games. The spell in SSF2 is based most closely on its KINGDOM HEARTS II iteration, where the caster creates a rotating ring of flames that surrounds the caster to inflict damage on nearby enemies.

Trivia

 * Prior to v0.8a, Firaga was one of three spells used with Magic Cast, Sora's standard special move at the time. As the setup with Magic Cast and Magic Swap was thought by the developers to be crammed and uninspired, the three spells were separated into the rest of his moveset, with Firaga becoming his standard special move.
 * In v0.9a, Sora would go into a landing animation after performing Firaga on the ground.
 * As of Beta, Fire is now a part of Sora's new down special move, Command Deck. Just as Firaga is a variation of Fire in KINGDOM HEARTS, the two moves function nearly identically.
