1st Hint: The World of Light-Smash Ultimate's story mode based on the themes of both Light and Dark.
2nd Hint: Joker of Persona 5 being the leader of the Phantom Thieves of "Hearts".
3rd Hint: Most biggest and most ambitious video game crossover ever, bound to include some more 3rd party based characters, because of Kingdom Hearts' growing popularity, Sora is likely if not very to appear in the game.
4rd Hint: Going so far as to call the story mode "World" of "Light" since both Worlds and Light separately have very big connections to the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
5th Hint: Kingdom Hearts III will be released a month after Smash Ultimate, giving the time needed to space out the receptions towards both games fairly.
6th Hint: Good promotion and publicity for Kingdom Hearts to appear in Smash Ultimate thanks to both Kingdom Hearts III and Smash Ultimate's growing respective popularities surrounding them.
7th Hint: Story wise-the ending of A Fragmentary Passage could lead into an alternate universe setting where Sora, Donald and Goofy stumble across the "World" of Smash. Despite Donald and Goofy protesting, Sora could potentially find in himself the urge not to resist joining in on Smash and then makes his dramatic Smash based entrance on the scene.
8th Hint: Despite losing his powers at the end of Dream Drop Distance, one could say that this puts Sora in "an equal advantage" to the rest of the Smash fighters strength level wise, know what I mean?
9th Hint: Sora whilst fighting the other Smashers could potentially become stronger and regain his powers over time during all of the fights, making it plausible for Sora to regain his strength in this alternate universe setting.
10th Hint: Sora could visit the Kingdom Hearts representation stage for Smash Ultimate in the form of a manifested Memory or even a "Sleeping World", located within the "Realm of Smash".
11th Hint: Not so much as hints but rather Smash Ultimate is taking very wide selections of music from multiple different franchises and are also editing some pieces, why not include Yoko Shimomura and Kingdom Hearts music into the mix? Kingdom Hearts is majorly well known for its music and Sora's Drive Forms could serve as alternate costumes for him to wear if they decide to not go along with using the Drive Forms themselves as gameplay mechanics for Smash Ultimate.
12th Hint: Again not so much as hints but since Capcom already has two 3rd party based franchises in the forms of both Mega Man and Street Fighter, why not Square Enix also? Kingdom Hearts is the next best selling series after Final Fantasy overseas if not in Japan which seems to have Dragon Quest instead. Also, Yoko Shimomura apparently conducted music for Street Fighter, the 2nd Capcom franchise to appear in Ultimate so yeah, it would match perfectly with Kingdom Hearts being the 2nd representative after Final Fantasy, something like that.
13th Hint: Lastly, not so much a hint once more, Smash Ultimate has the chance to represent Mickey Mouse, the world's leading cartoon mascot in some form of gameplay format, likely as an Assist Trophy. Because of Mickey's seriousness and fiercely determined characterization in Kingdom Hearts, the way that his gameplay is portrayed, how could Smash afford to pass up on this once in a lifetime chance? I know Disney can be strict with its regulations but I think they could be lenient with how their collaboration with Nintendo and Smash Bros could work. If Sora and Mickey appear in Smash Ultimate, they are likely to earn a profit from the game, thanks mainly in their part to allow Kingdom Hearts to take part in Smash Bros. Call it corporate sharking if you will, the fact still stands that Disney can gain a major advantage from the deal and in return, we get Kingdom Hearts to be represented in Super Smash Bros, its a win-win situation.
...Oh yeah!
14th Hint: Because Kingdom Hearts is essentially a huge crossover between Square Enix and Disney properties just like Smash Bros is "the" crossover between multiple franchises, it would make sense for the series to be included.
Does everyone else agree with these hints maybe? :]
