I got super lucky at his last health bar though because I managed to hit him with Zanetsuken which actually stuns him.

I think these two bosses were really just fuck yous to physical players who thought magic was useless.
But if you regularly use magic and have a magic build, the two optional bosses were cake.

I was magic (+Staff/-Shield) so it explains why I don't remember much from them. I was 11 or 12 when I beat them and all I remember is having some trouble getting around the Phantom's death spell.
>>324021027
It does block the reaction command, which, while being easier to reach as it is maped to triangle, means you have to take account of yet another possible location. I'd say it evens out
In the end I just gave up and cheesed it vía pause-buffering, following an Anon's advice
And I didn't have Zantetsuken yet, in fact I beat Kurt Zisa right after Unknown. Now that fight was pretty enjoyable
>>324021472
Fuck you
>>324021086
What? It's not even hard. Did you forget you could press X to leap up?
>>324021480
Phantom is obviously magic focused and Kurt Zisa is heavily reliant on magic though it's not immediately obvious.
So a +Sword-Staff character would not be able to deal with that shit.
A primary thing with magic is that things with duration (Aero, Stop) last longer with more MP so a physical character has to cast stop more often on the clocktower.
>>324021086
is there a video of somebody doing this part because I don;t remember why this was such a big deal
>>324021708
something like jumping at it from one side looks like it should work just fine but it doesn't. You just keep hitting your head.
I can't remember if the pic is the way you're supposed to jump up, or the way people jump up and get stuck.
>>324019339
Spam Strike Raid when he begins this phase. He can't touch you but you can touch him. Stock up on Ethers/Elixirs and other abilities that increase MP. Don't give Donald and Goofy shit. He becomes far easier but don't let your guard down or he WILL catch you.
>>324021182
Indeed. The superbosses in KH 1 were ridiculously easy. The ones in KH 2 are a little bit tougher, with you often having to utilize multiple gameplay aspects on the fly and have split second reactions not only to avoid damage, but to close in and deal damage as well.
Lingering Will, for instance, will probably fuck you in the ass multiple times while you figure out how to avoid his basic attacks. Then he'll fuck you in the ass again while you figure out how to get damage on him after avoiding his attacks. Then he'll fuck you in the ass with his desperation attack for awhile. Then all his moves get powered up and have new mechanics added onto them so you have to basically learn a whole new moveset to react to during the second phase of the fight, while now having to deal with him being able to use his desperation attack frequently.
Data Demyx will also fuck you up until you figure out that you need to go into Wisdom form and use fire to deal with his clones.Sephiroth does not count as a superboss in either game. He's easier than the final boss in both KH 1 and 2.
BRAGHTHUMP THUMPTHUMP-THUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMP
>>324021867
How do you know he is going to start the attack, though?
From what I know he has no tell, he just uses it out of the blue
>>324021884
Sephiroth is easier in KH1FM than the original because Leaf Bracer was not a thing in the original, so you didn't have invincibility frames when healing. I never beat him in the original version.
KH2 lets you counter him pretty much whenever
What, you didn't think to perform a manuever that is used nowhere else in the game?

About to start Kingdom Hearts 2 for the first time, HD collection.
What difficulty?
>>324022230
At least start on Proud.
Beginner is literal baby mode, Normal is easy mode, and Proud is normal. Japan does this often to trick dumb gaijins into thinking they're good at their games, same with Devil May Cry 3. Critical is Hard mode.
>>324022031
In the original he was piss easy if you weren't retarded. Leaf Bracer doesn't even matter when you don't get hit. Strike Raid is a thing. His attacks are actually really easy to guard against. If you ever get hit by Sin Harvest, you might actually be retarded.
In KH2, there are a huge number of broken ways to deal with Sephiroth. His first phase can be looped easily by counterguarding and doing short combos. When he starts summoning orbs, you can mash reflect. If he ever does the fire pillars, just walk into them and mash reflect to do obscene amounts of damage to him.
He's an absolute joke in both games and even more so in the Final Mix versions.
>>324022449
>If you ever get hit by Sin Harvest, you might actually be retarded.
I dunno, I had trouble dealing with it because the camera in the original version was ass. So whenever he'd disappear, by the time I even get a bead on Sephiroth again it's already too late.

Japanese version also has "Yellow Orb" mode which revives you in the room before the one you died in.
US had "Gold orb" which revives you on the spot.
in the updated release this was an option to switch between.
>>324021708
It's possible to get through the entire game without using the technique it wants you to use, so naturally a lot of players got to this without being aware of it. IIRC you had to sort of walljump in order to get the extra height needed to grab it.
>>324022512
As soon as he teleports to use it and he isn't in the center of the arena somewhere, you KNOW he's going to use it. At that point, you can R1 and glide to him with plenty of time to spare, or R1 and Strike Raid.
>>324022624
Nope.
Japanese Normal = Easy
American Normal = Hard

It has a big learning curve but it's pretty fun.
Remember to make use of 0 cards, Larxene's fights make sure you learn that the hard way.
I still can't fucking do it
>>324021472
I don't get why people say this was hard, I did it on my first try, zero's missions in san andreas were much more difficult. The only mission In vice city I had problems with is the last one, where the mafia members can either miss you or hit every fucking shot.

Literally easier than KH2's Atlantica. The first visit to Port Royal is more difficult than anything in Pride Lands. Pride Lands is also a completely optional world. You can literally beat everything else in the game, including the optional superbosses and stuff, then come back to Pride Lands and fuck everything up.
I would agree with you if you said Pride Lands was the worst world, though. While it wasn't difficult at all, it was boring as fuck.

Fuck, maybe I am getting worse at games, since I fucking pounded this game when it came out and beat all the optionals and filled the journal.
I shouldn't have chosen rod ditched sword since I need that guard in my life.
Fuck the floating elemental heartless too.
Maybe I'm just too used to playing later game with loads of combo up and not shitty keys.
>>324023803
Yeah, I went rod because it's the best according to what stats you get. I didn't consider that the order of abilities you learn is much more important.
Am I the only one here who grinds to ~Lv30 before leaving Destiny Islands?
>>324023803
>choosing sword ever
It's like you really don't like yourself, Anon.
Here's a tip, though. Make a beeline for Tarzan's World. It's easy as fuck at any level since it's mostly powerwilds that you'll be fighting, and you get a good keyblade from it. Afterwards, Wonderland is really easy.
>>324024721
What about not kerchack boss? The queen's cards are much easier.
>>324024721
I chose the rod and ditched the sword and I think I should be chosen shield because I'm bad.
I've done wonderland and Tarzan now, I hate the stealth sneak fight due to Clayton's ranged shit
I've just finished traverse town keyhole so I'll be in agrabah next I'm just bad though.
Is it ever a good idea to give Donald and Goofy items?
They just fucking use them super quick it feels like a wasteI couldn't do Phil's cup and I'm sad now
>>324024461
No. I've done it too on one save.
>>324024991
in terms of minmax fagging, choosing the staff is the best choice bar none, while sword is for fags.
Staff gets an extra MP off the bat and gets an additional MP that you can't get any other way. As magic power/duration is dictated by your max MP this is is important.
Sword's only advantage is getting certain skills earlier, but you don't really need any combo pluses in this game anyways. It starts with some extra attack power but that can be gained with items.
Shield gets 2 additional item slots over staff which also cannot be gotten another way, though it's generally agreed that 2 MP is a bigger advantage.
>>324024991
Never give Goofy and Donald items except for cheap shit like potions and ethers.
Fat bandits might give you a bit of trouble. Make smart use of magic. Also, play with a bit of caution against the pot centipede boss. He's nasty and can kill you very quickly on Proud and Critical. Try to stay away from the tail.
>>324021086
The shame will never go away.
What's the weapon choice when doing a speedrun?
>>324026532
A speedrun of what? In Kingdom Hearts I would assume it's whatever the strongest weapon you have at the time is.
In Kingdom Hearts 2, it varies depending on the situation, but Decisive Pumpkin is the best weapon for most situations.
>>324026717
I mean at the beginning of the game.
What's the right one to pick and which to throw away.
>>324026814
Oh. Take staff and throw away sword. In a speedrun especially, you need that extra magic.
>>324023119
Yes the battle system is great especially on boss fights but I find that people don't even give it a chance
>>324023124
Want a tip for the Pride Lands?
Don't attack with X or do grounded combos.
Jump, press X to start an aerial combo, then use square for the lion version of horizontal slash as many times as you can (depends on how many aerial combo plus you have equiped) and then use the x finishers
That stuns everything instantly and nobody will gang up on you while attacking one because you are moving at sanic speeds in the air
>>324027535
Alternatively, you can spam thunder to kill everything in Pride Lands easily.
>>324025657
Alright I won't give them anything until there's a boss coming, thanks.
And yeah I've found myself getting onshot a lot just going too hard without backing off.
>>324025452
I've found the abilities I've got to not be so good, I feel like I'm doing no damage when I'm using the basic combo finishers.
But I've got Hurricane Blast and Ripple Drive now so I feel a bit better.
Is Sonic Drive any good or should I leave that out?
>>324027830
Sonic Drive is so-so. You're invincible for the entire duration, so it can be useful. Strike Raid, on the other hand, is gamebreaking. As I said earlier, make sure to make smart use of your magic. After Agrabah, your melee damage should start to catch up to a decent level, too.
>>324027773
If you have thundara or thundaga yes
I always found using thunder on a mob of heartless a waste of MP because it costs so much and only hits one enemy
I find Blizzard and Reflect to be better early game and the first visit to the Pride Lands
>Always only able to save one or two
>>324023368

>>324028224
Thunder hits multiple enemies if they aren't spread way the fuck out. It's one of the best ways to deal with large groups of enemies throughout the entire game.

>>324028416
>Beating this spastic cunt after running away from him like a bitch

Satisfaction.
>>324028467
Exactly, and most of the time they are spread all over the place and they have to be practically hugging each other.
That is why I think that thunder finally becomes truly good when it becomes thundara
>>324021472
why do they always have to put a shitty controlled RC mission in the older games it just makes it painful to go back

You had to wallrun up and then jump to the side to grab it. It looks like you can grab it by doing a simple jump, but it's very slightly out of range, so it looks like you just need to keep doing it to get it.
Also, absolutely nowhere else in game requries you to do wallrun + lateral jump, so most players completely forgotten about that at this point.
Pretty much any dungeon that is designed to fuck your sense of direction.
Even worse when there are random battles with strong monsters, and when you come back from the battle you have no idea where you were going.
