*{{Sm|kameme|Japan}} - The best Sora player of all-time who has came closest to winning a major, most notably placing 2nd at both {{Trn|Seibugeki 13}} and {{Trn|Wave 4}} and 3rd at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 13}}. | |||
*{{Sm|komorikiri|Japan}} - The second-best Sora player in Japan, though his tournament activity remains largely in Kansai due to his studies. He has a string of strong superregionals, including 3rd at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 22}}, 4th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 27}}, and 5th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 35}}. | |||
*{{Sm|Zackray|Japan}} - Although having only played Sora for a few weeks after the character's release, he is currently the only Sora player to win a major, doing so at {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}}. | |||

Initial perceptions towards Sora were rather positive, with many top players pointing out his potent combo potential from his neutral and forward aerials, as well as his versatile recovery. Initial results matched these perceptions thanks to the efforts of {{Sm|Zackray}}, who notably won {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}} two weeks after the character was released. As a result, many players were confident that Sora had the potential to be a high-tier fighter. | Initial perceptions towards Sora were rather positive, with many top players pointing out his potent combo potential from his neutral and forward aerials, as well as his versatile recovery.

On the other hand, despite Zackray dropping the character, Sora saw continued success in Japan thanks to the efforts of {{Sm|kameme}}, who by mid-2022 had achieved multiple top 8 placements with the character, and {{Sm|komorikiri}}, who has achieved respectable placements regionally despite being semi-active. kameme especially was able to travel to North America for several tournaments and placed top 8 at almost all of them. kameme's success with the character helped improve Sora's reputation in North America: currently, the general perception of Sora is that he is a viable, yet unpopular character in the metagame with {{Sm|ESAM}} and kameme both ranking him in top tier, though time will tell how he fares in the long run. Regardless, he is ranked 31st on the first and current tier list. | On the other hand, despite Zackray dropping the character, Sora saw continued success in Japan thanks to the efforts of {{Sm|kameme}}, who by mid-2022 had achieved multiple top 8 placements with the character, and {{Sm|komorikiri}}, who has achieved respectable placements regionally despite being semi-active. kameme especially was able to travel to North America for several tournaments and placed top 8 at almost all of them. kameme's success with the character helped improve Sora's reputation in North America: currently, the general perception of Sora is that he is a viable, yet unpopular character in the metagame with {{Sm|ESAM}} and kameme both ranking him in top tier, though time will tell how he fares in the long run.
