>>324252772
I think it's just that you've gotten better at the game. I still die to his data fight every once in a while but I don't find him that difficult.

>>324252695
I just go into limit form and start using sonic blade if I got the wrong spot.

>>324253707

>>324253829
For the most part, there are some attacks that will knock you out of it though.

>>324253829
There's like one TINY spot where you're vulnerable, I think it's in between each rave, but for the most part yeah. That's how I beat lingering will.

>>324253856
I was forced to shortcut Reflect, never liked using it though.

>>324252756
WHY DOES NOMURA DO IT?

>>324253918
Don't let the lvl 1 fags get to you. They can bitch about reflect all they want, but when the enemies fill the entire stage with instant death, it's justified.

Does FM make proud mode harder in KH1, it seems harder.

>>324254083
What? Most people love reflect, especially people playing on level 1.

>>324254815
Yeah they ramped the difficulty up a bit

>>324252756
>completely invincible on successful block
>can chain blocks into each other

It's pretty fair for an OP defensive option.

I've been playing bbs, just beat terras story and started aquas. It seems like her campaign is quite a bit harder, is that because it's my second play through or is hers just naturally have a harder start?

>>324255715
I think it comes down to how they're designed to play. Terra specializes in hitting like a truck while Aqua is more magic based. Ven is fast but does little damage in the beginning.

>>324255715
I'd have recommended doing Ventus after Terra since you spoil bits and pieces of the story, also Aqua does significantly less damage than Terra and her main gimmick is how strong she is in magic.

>>324255893
Well I'm literally not even out of the Cinderella world so I might just restart if ventus is better to do first story wise.

>>324255986
It's up to you, Ventus is more annoying to play as out of the three at the beginning by the way, he does no damage and has to rely on shotlocks.

>>324255986
The Nomura recommended order is Terra - Ventus - Aqua. But you kind of don't have to go that way. Most people end up doing Aqua last anyway because if you're playing FM she had more content than the other two and it kind of makes more sense to go at the end but like I said it's ultimately your choice.

That one was actually done relatively well I think. I was always stressed during the fight that I wasn't going to do it in time, but I just barely stayed caught up.

Why is KH2 literally TRIANGLE the game

>>324254985
>Most people love reflect
From what I've seen this isn't really true, most people look down on using reflect because it makes things way too easy.
What those playing on lvl 1 love is limits.

>>324260373
why does everyone hate KH2's reaction commands?
all it did was add varety to the game

sometimes you pressed the cross button
sometimes you pressed the square button
sometimes you pressed the circle button
but you get a prompt to press triangle and all of a sudden it's shit, I don't understand

would you have preferred no prompt rather just pressing triangle next to a certain enemy just on the fly?

>>324262334
Because it was often used in lieu of a real battle design, it was made even worse in fights where there were moments where you HAD to use reaction commands. Makes it not feel like a fight and more like you're just following the script.

Prove me wrong.

>>324262709
most of them were rather quick so it didn't feel that scripted, not including the final boss reaction commands with the lasers

to me they just seemed as another way of attacking even if some of them are forced

it also feels good to beat a boss with the last hit of a limit or with a reaction command to make it feel more epic, and most of the time you can choose to not use the reactions anyways

despite all that, I can understand why some don't like the flow of battle changing from normal combat to doing a unique reaction command which is the exact thing needed to win a fight

Play Asura's Warth
Bosses don't have health bars, you charge your limit break, and when it's full it's "press R2 to awesome"
It's as beautiful as it sounds
these guys are remaking ff7 and the charge mechanic shown in the gameplay footage is exactly this

Is there a skill in KH games where you get super armor, i.e. you don't get staggered?

>>324264826
Hey, how ya doin'?

>>324265038
Well no, he doesn't have super armor.
He does actually get staggered. However, doing physical attacks cause him to rewind time after two or three hits. Adding other reason as to why physical attacks are useless in BBS.

>>324265038
Whoever designed this boss didn't understand the appeal of the other KH superbosses

Having to mash evade is not fun gameplay.

>>324263612
>>324264595
honestly, I don't see what's wrong with fighting a boss normally and then finishing them off in a cool way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW0INlq2EbM

>>324265203
I thought his staggering was a change between the vanilla version to the FM? I forgot which way it allegedly when.

>>324265379
Was it? I've never played BBS ENG with him.
But in BBSFM he does get staggered but still rewinds time, making it useless.

>>324265245
You could say that about any of the BBS bosses, really. Vanitas just decides when you attack doesn't hit with no rhyme or reason. I pray that KH3 has what made KH2's combat so great and Vanitas is one of the 13 darknesses so that we can get an actual good fight out of him.

>>324265558
I didn't think Vanitas's main story boss fights were that bad

His counter was fair, his firaga was fair, the only bs thing was how he could one shot you with the lightning spell.

Fuck the Lingering Sentiment Vanitas though.

>>324265514
It was either that or change between BbS FM on the PSP and BbS FM 2.5. I don't know how accurate it is.

Fucking Tropical Freeze

>>324265514
I played BBS psp emulated. He staggers IIRC but if you hit him with too many physical attacks he rewinds.

However if you use thunder/fire surge he staggers fully and doesn't rewind time or break out

It's fucking stupid, that's practically the only """""fair""""" way to fight him.

>>324265849
How is his counter fair? He just uses it whenever he feels like it. The rest of his fight's fine, I guess, but his counter has no reason for behaving like it does.

>>324266207
I just mean it's fair because you can always dodge on reaction. I know there is no rhyme or reason to when he activates it unlike the KH2 boss revenge values.

>>324265849
No, his fights are bad. But it wasn't that his attacks are hard to avoid, or broken or anything involving his attacks at all really, even his lightning. But his counter wasn't.
A boss shouldn't be able to break out randomly during hitstun, thats why its bad.

>>324266851
All of the BBS bosses randomly break out during hitstun.

>>324267219
>>324266851
KH2 also does that

Though mostly because HAHAHAH TIME FOR MINIGAME

>>324267557
I think your using the word mini-game wrong. I don't think any of the bosses really turn into mini-games, they just have reaction commands you have to use, which isn't the same thing.

>>324267557
No they don't. If you actually knew how the mechanics worked, you'd know that in KH2 you can 100% reliably tell when a boss is going to break out of your combos if you're paying attention.

>>324267557
>KH2 also does that
No it doesn't. There's nothing random about it in KH2. It's based on a formula.

>>324267754
>>324267740
I was focusing mostly on "hitstun break", didn't really read on "random". Obviously they rely on health percentage.

It's kinda annoying though. I wish more games have the "boss haven't got time to "upgrade" or use some tech because you stun-locked them".

>>324267908
You can do that with some bosses in KH2: most notably Sai'x who will never be able to enter his berserk state if you use Peter Pan and spam Horizontal Slash on him.

>>324267557
No? Theres a hidden counter called Revenge value.
I'm sorry you sat there and mashed through fights.
>>324267908
And again, you are wrong. Its based on how many hits and finishers you do on a boss. Now damage on HP.

>>324268230
That guy is retarded, but he's also not completely wrong: some bosses also break out of your combos at specific HP thresholds regardless of their revenge value. That said, that guy obviously doesn't have a very good understanding of the mechanics either way so this is more of a clarification than a defense of him.

>>324268127
I believe you can skip the desperation attacks of all Org XIII members.

>>324268230
>>324268524
I'd argue most of those would only matter in Critical Mode anyway, and even then it's more of manipulating hidden numbers, which I'd argue is even a bit too much. Reminds me of the exploit in 4D Mode of SO3.

>>324268127
Saix is relatively easy though even without stunlocking him. He's one of those few bosses who you can power through.

>>324268826
You can't skip Data Demyx's final DANCE, WATER, DANCE, but I think you can skip everyone else's.

>>324268858
>hidden numbers
You can literally see on the boss's health bare where they take reduced damage from finishers and know when they're going to jump/teleport/retaliate out of the combo.

>>324269038
I was talking about Revenge value.

>>324269038
>>324269119
ah nevermind, I thought you meant Revenge itself, not its effect

So the general idea is to count your hits, anticipate a revenge attack, then Guard/Parry, then repeat?

>>324269585
That's correct, so you aren't caught pressing a button and take massive damage. It's mostly useful on critical mode since other modes aren't as punishing.

I always thought some revenge attacks are "cinematic" triggered like Demyx's... I think Luxord is like that?

You can lock Roxas in a loop that essentially skips his revenge value and his desperation move using Limit form.

Why do you find re:coded to be the second lowest in gameplay when it's the one game that used the command deck that wasn't horribly broken (and when you can pull off combos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4USW_VzLD8&feature=youtu.be&t=758)? If it's all the minigames, I can understand that.

Is this a top shelf sixth gen rpg or is it just a good game with a neat concept? Is it a weeb game? Does it compare in quality with other "different" rpg games such as Kotor and Ttyd?
