Sora was basically a one-shot dev studio, as a full-sized studio. Essentially there's the kernel of Sora, which is Sakurai himself and maybe a small creative group surrounding him, a group incapable of actually making a game, an idea group. Nintendo basically threw together a proper team for him for Kid Icarus Uprising. In other cases, Sora uses other studios to get their work done for them. For Brawl, it was HAL Labs and Game Arts. For the next Smash Bros, it seems to be Project Tekken from Bandai-Namco.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
