Okay, go back and play the final fight in KH2: he was going to rip out sora's heart, and straight cut his(sora's) head off. Without riku there, sora wouldn't have been able to block are the laser necessary to win through that event.(trust me i tried)Really, that's what happened. Those are facts. Without riku, sora would have died.
He proclaimed himself that his heart may be small and weak,but it's his friends that are his power. He said that HIMSELF. YOU CAN'T REFUTE HIM.
Re watch the roxas v sora fight. Roxas, well, rocked as....arse. Sora got his arse beat, it was roxas's own arrogance that got him in the end.
We don't,all we do know is that it's riku who survived for one year with no help from anyone and pretty much routed all org forces if they got to close to anything.(ex. he beat saix with no challenge, axel doesn't want to fight him, he beat roxas, xigbar ran from him in LoD,he killed(or mortally wounded) two people in castle oblivion.)He beat ansem, by himself. He beat maleficent, by himself. He beat pretty much everyone who sora fought in KH1, by himself. He's really awesome. Really really awesome.
If he mentioned other before sora, you would think that would mean he has fought more of them no? If other are stronger, who do you think he means? Nothing? Simple rhetoric? I think it's odd because nomura refuses to tell us what he meant by that. IT must mean something big for that to happen.
Should i trust you? Or the character himself? It's not him that is powerful, it's his friends. It's not him, it's everyone around him.
How about you learn this: before you start correcting people, at least know what you are talking about.
He was winning with the obilvion.
ON THE HE CHOSE NOT TO:
The objective was to capture roxas, not kill him. If he used the soul eater he could have killed him.
