Ok personally I like to play as Riku better.

I find that Sora handles spirit links better while Riku does really well with the basic combat.

Sora is a more balanced character and therefore better playable for new players. Riku has high strenght but particulary low defence so he could be a trouble for people who are new to the series. For advanced players (including myself) Riku i think has the preference. But still Sora is strong, its not that i hate playing with him, i just like Riku more.

Riku. He seems more acrobatic, and he has more of an Aqua style of fighting. I just find myself dreading the drop to Sora!

Both. I get excited to play both of them. Maybe i need a bit more time...

0_0 But I have to say, playing as Riku is pretty good as well. I prefer his links, but so far, I prefer Sora's story in this game more. I mean, it makes it seem like ALL of Kingdom Hearts was just a fluke. It's a real shocker.

Definitely like playing as Riku better, his style is just so smooth.

...RIKU! RIKU! RIKU!
