He is also quite impulsive, as he tends to jump into things without thinking them through beforehand. [...] Sora is the only character from a Square Enix-developed game in Super Smash Bros.

According to its director, Seth Kearsley, this was because Osment was busy with a scheduling conflict at the time.
