Was he highly requested? Was it the Disney licensing fee?

Both. He was the most requested by far and it's also a miracle they got Disney to play ball.

From what they said today, he was the most highly requested character in the survey they put out before Smash 4. Also, Disney is famously tough to negotiate with, so that too.

Squeenix evidently isn't easy to bargain with either; that's theoretically part of why Cloud only has/had two songs for a while, until Sephiroth that is

Disney is arguably easier to deal with than Square. Disney owns many IPs, but they're actually pretty flexible with them and loan them for just about everything

Doubtful. Sakurai is on record as saying said that Smash Bros is a celebration of gaming and that characters that didn't originate in a video game won't be considered. The "must originate from a video game" rule wasn't broken no matter how many people asked for Goku, and it won't break for Mickey either.

They are going to break that rule eventually, no way it lasts forever.

Not too long ago, even having Sora in a Smash game would have been unimaginable.

Eh, I don't like Kingdom Hearts (anymore), so for me it was a lame announcement.

It doesn't help that he also has a counter.

Yup, the counters get better with each game, smash sora is KH1 Sora so he has the first game's counter, 2's counter is a burst of light and 3's counter flat out has him going behind the opponent to launch them

It's more that they're mostly on sword characters so it makes Sora's kit a bit more cliche.

I haven't played KH but it seems cool that they're making him such an aerial focused character, given that's apparently how those games play.
