Votes for Sora

 * 1) Nuhu, Sora is the best and always will be.01:59, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I have always faved Riku as a protagonist because of his storyline. But where Keyblade wielding is concerned, Sora was meant to be saved in the first Kingdom Hearts. Also, no one else pulls off the silly side better than he does. Sora gets my vote. 02:08, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Sora was a little grating early in the series, but he improved. Riku was really awesome early in the series, but got just a tad annoying by the end of KHII. Plus, Sora took down nearly the entire Organization, plus Ansem and all the Disney and FF villains. Point, Sora.03:52, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Sora's always upbeat and optimistic, and manages to make everyone around him smile. And let's not forget that he's the only person that's managed to survive being turned into a Heartless. Without Sora, Xehanort would have destroyed the Universe ten times over, don't you think? 11:07, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Duel welding vs. dark powers...however, it all comes down to what the series is all about: heart. And Sora's got it in spades.  20:25, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Sora is always optimistic, makes everyone smile, doesn't give in, and doesn't break promises. He's much stronger than Riku in body, mind, heart, and light in general. Sora never let the darkness control him, but Riku let it easily. Plus Sora's destined for great things, and Riku's just there backing him up. 10:44, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Riku

 * 1) Durr, of course I'm voting for Riku. Riku>Sora, any day.
 * 2) Riku is SUPERIOR -- 01:59, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Hell yeah! Sora, you are the weakest link, goodbye.
 * 4) Embrace the Darkness. That's what my mom used to say...  Just kidding.  One must see that Riku is superior in intellect as well as strength.  Plus, he was chosen to be a Keyblade master before Sora.

Keyblade Graveyard
The fight has changed a lot since its first release after Kingdom Hearts. I'm actually not surprised. 03:23, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by that, Trois?

Given the storyline additions, and how Nomura worked hard to clear Riku's name from post-Kingdom Hearts, I'm actually not surprised at what's gonna be the outcome. I admit that my choice was a difficult one. 03:30, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Having all the KH game to analyse we indeed see that Riku got a lot of Good Boy Stars after the first Kingdom Hearts. And because of that Sora got a little to vanilla.03:32, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

The key : always take the road less taken. ;-) They should also take time to see the beta trailer of KH1 before anything. 03:34, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just like Riku 'cause I can relate to him a lot more than Sora.
 * For me it is the other way around.03:37, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

I saw the beta... Riku sure looked evil, more evil them Ansem Seeker of Darkness.03:43, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * The beta is scary, eh ? But that's partly owing to the fact that all the renders were crude in the beta stage ; even Sora's and Kairi's. Donald and Goofy looked like they could fit into a DS more than a PS2. Also, it'd have been more natural if there were boxes in the road leading from the 2nd to the 3rd District, like in the beta. 09:40, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scary is not enough to describe Kairi's Exorcist face. Those eyes were looking inside my soul! An interesting note: the slogan is "You are the one who will open the door." and through the whole game Sora only closes things. Ironic.16:48, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * How do you get to the beta? is there still some type of disc or downoad or what?
 * It's the beta trailer. Not the beta version of the game.20:15, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * The slogan still remains ; nevertheless, SoRiKa's faces were scary indeed. 00:07, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
