@@Deadflower20xx Nope, the strongest Keyblade is no doubt KH3's Ultima Weapon. It's literally a combination of the Decisive Pumpkin and Rumbling Rose on top of filling the Situation Bar faster and having the strongest transformation in the series so far.
@@milesstorzillo7650 Tbh I mostly prefer OKP and OBV, probably bc I like the style of the from, but yeah, UW3 is one of the strongest weapons in KH history.
Granted, that only happens in battle portals usually because enemies are commonly spawned right next to you at the start, and they always attack immediately. If they're running towards you instead of winding up their zoner-punch I believe it's safe to assume that they're going to use that attack most of the time (as opposed to doing the jumping slam attack), at which point you can kind of "react" to it in the sense that you know what to expect and can respond right before the attack comes out. Fun fact: The attack in question can be blocked from all directions, even if you're using the regular Guard/playing as Sora instead of using Dark Barrier. If you can predict it in time, try blocking it instead of dodging it.
"this boss sucks" "This fight is so bad" Like the entire video hahahaha. I'll def be using that dream eater glitch if I ever play this game again. That's crazy. But idk if I'll ever wanna subject myself to DDD again...
Im glad im not the only one who thought that your commands being on cooldown when retrying fights was nonsense, was a huge struggle on ansem 2 especially
Fun fact. I actually finally completed the game recently in critical lv 1. A lot of the best equipment you would want were mostly based on ng+ spirits. Anything worse than symphony of sorcery would literally dogpile you
I finished my first and likely only DDD level 1 crit playthrough about three weeks ago and it was one of the worst experiences I've had playing this series; I can't imagine doing it in a speedrun setting
Hey Ninten I know we haven't always gotten along, but texas grandma did not invent this route. I made it pretty much from scratch, and texasgrandma is just a lot better at ddd than me since he actually runs that game. WR is like 95% my route, so it's frustrating that you gave all the credit to someone else for "making the route." I have to assume you didn't do that on purpose, but I wish you had asked texas or desa or someone to confirm that first, 37,000 people now think someone else did all my work.
ive always found if your not dealing with 1 dmg regardless what you do for every KH game, all of them are actually fun on lvl 1, the issue with ones like DDD is you need to do some insane planning to get passed it
@@tylercafe1260 Even without NG+ you should be able to do competent damage fairly early on in Critical Mode if you know what you're doing since Yoggy Ram is made available at the start of Sora's La Cite des Cloches. Yoggy Ram has access to Spirit Roar in the Leader disposition from Level 5 onwards and casts it fairly often, and he also gets access to Combo Assist at Level 15. This also makes no mention of drop bonuses, which can be used to improve DPS considerably. I haven't tried it at Level 1 quite yet, but I can say that in regular playthroughs of the game on Crit unless you're going into higher level worlds too early (in which case mechanical skill usually takes precedent in determining outcomes) or are skipping most of the enemies in the overworld you should always be doing decent damage in every stage of the game even if you don't grind levels or grind LP to get more powerful commands, especially if you use Yoggy Ram. I was able to one-cycle Lord Kyroo with Sora in Prankster's Paradise (as in, full HP to dead in the very first fight with him) at Level 29 without the use of Balloon commands or endgame commands (it was done in NG) despite not doing any actual grinding and merely using whatever toys I had acquired naturally for any LP farming.
I always found it funny that Young Xehanort uses more time manipulation powers than Luxord, the Organization member whose element is supposedly "Time."
I was so upset when I learned the spirit glitch doesn't work on ds but now I also have it ps due to final mix so I appreciate to reminder that this is a thing
Dream drop distance is a very fun game if you play it casual on standard. Dream drop distance is a horribly imbalanced mess on lvl 1 crit. Props to you for actually running this
8:09 yeah. This boss is MF level Bullshit for me. Im playing Lvl1, and cant do anything to this guy. I tried every dreameater combination at this point but no matter what I do, Im still only doing chipdamage. I even tried grinding with sora->selecting Attack&Magic Boost lvl3 -> using Balloonga. Nope. Still chipdamage. My sora is already 5 worlds further than riku. Another problem with this boss: You can't reliably block or evade every attack and some attacks have no tell what so ever. ANOTHER PROBLEM: Even if you block some projetiles, others can still hit you from the back OR FROM ABOVE WTF.
I beat this game at Level 1 Crit earlier this year and this was hands down the hardest to run through. I had to farm for Spirit Roar for a while and it helped immensely for most of the fights but they weren't cake walks either. Even with Second Chance, Once More, Hastes and all of the other useful abilities, a lot of fights are brutal. The worst for me were Commantis, the boss rush in Traverse Town, Spellican, the mob fights in Prankster's Paradise, Mostro, Huchback of Notre Dame and Mousketeers, the hooded man in TWTNW, all forms of Ansem, Rinzler and Xehanort. It was very, very rough. So glad I did it though and pulled through
Ansem Phase 1 is the absolute worst part of this run, followed closely by Spelican and Traverse Town Boss Rush. Xehanoet isn't so bad once you learn to spam Firaga Burst, but then using THAT setup ends up being a detriment when you face Ventus Armor Nightmare immediately after. I did this run twice, once on 3DS and again on PS4, and the 3DS run of the aforementioned pair of bosses was soul crushing...
You had to farm for Spirit Roar? I can only assume that you were using Majik Lapin for that, because Yoggy Ram (Leader disposition) is made available at the start of Sora's La Cite des Cloches and gets access to Spirit Roar at Level 5 and Combo Assist at Level 15.
So if i wanted to play the kh2 randomizer mod, do i have to buy the game in epic games or can i download it on an emulator? I’ve really wanted to play the randomizer mod and I’ve been confused by this
Dream Drop Distance is easily the WORST game in the series to level 1 critical run. I've done it twice now--both on 3DS and PS4, and both times were awful. Dive Wing (best keyblade you can before the postgame) is easy enough to get, but in the late game its boosts are negligible. The very first part of Riku's The Grid is an unfair as fuck. Unless you're running a party of 3 Sir Kyroo your damage output throughout the run is abysmal. Finally, Ansem Phase 1 is the MOST unfair part of the run. No joke it took DAYS to finally trigger Phase 2, and by that point I had mastered the fight to the point of never taking damage and landing every hit. It's entirely luck based. I've done the run twice now, and hopefully will never have to again. Fuck Dream Drop Distance Level 2 Critical run. edit: even doing it as a NG+ with access to every spirit and ability from the start is barely useful. The grind required just to obtain the requisite abilities takes HOURS.
I made it to the end of the game and got stuck on young xehanort as riku & got stuck on the wizard boss as sora. It's a long endurance fest i do not want to do again.
Ugh Spelican is the worst boss in Sora's run, MAYBE behind the boss rush in Traverse Town Phase 2, but nothing, NOTHING is as bad as Ansem Phase 1. Triggering Phase 2 is entirely luck based.
Sum of u might dislike me, but i ordered a copy of the 3ds version of this game since ive never played it and wanted to play it on its original ver, it is bad?
It's the same game just at 240p, with 3d, worse camera controls (no r-stick), and a better intro sequence. 3D looks nice tbh. Especially the into sequence.
For gameplay, stick with the HD version. Once you’ve played on a bigger screen it’s harder to go back to the 3DS. You can play the game with the 3D on though, including the FMV opening which is really cool. Okay, for novelty factor try it. The only real gameplay difference is that the Reality Shifts were designed for the touch screen, the most radically different one being the Symphony of Sorcery one.
I like the 3DS better, just improves the atmosphere somehow, and you can get the AR Card dream eaters at the beginning which have some busted abilities.
DDD isnt a bad game - but its a bad KH game. It is the most unbalanced game (stuff is either bonkers busted or useless), it has the worst command deck, the drop meter just isnt fun if you dont you DMNs and most of the bosses suck. Flow Motion is nice kinda nice, but it suffers the classical KH syndrom of "people didnt really like it so we will mostly remove it in the next game".
You know, you CAN swap sets whenever right? Like have 3 decks per character, and swap outside of combat? Just have deck 2 with the item that increases drop meter (you can buy them pretty cheap all things considered) and you literally don't ever have to worry about dropping, just every so often go to deck 2, use a few of them, then go back to your battle deck
Prople shit on this game for being too easy but you lowkey need the over powere shit they give you cause many fights are terribly balanced. When i saw the title i cringed in pain cause i couldnt even imagine a lvl 1 run for this game
If every boss is immune to debuffs and ailments there is no reason to use them. You want a boss weak to each ailment just to encourage trying new things.

Its funny how the strongest spell in KH history just so happens to be a Balloon Spell, a BALLOON spell
Considering the strongest Keyblade is still a damn pumpkin on a candy cane, I think it all checks out

5:09 - That's the neat part- you don't!

NOOOO NOT DREAM DROP LEVEL 1 AAAAAA
What pissed me off about this challenge all those years back on 3ds is the boss design. Arenas are huge and a lot of boss waste time/run away.
I finished my first and likely only DDD level 1 crit playthrough about three weeks ago and it was one of the worst experiences I've had playing this series; I can't imagine doing it in a speedrun setting
Im doing it rn and i love it. The only thing i dislike is grinding dp.
R.I.P. Damage Floors
What a well thought-out game.
It's like they forgot to play test Critical.
Dude without damage floors it would be even worse
@@OrbitalAnnihilatorRagnarok
Bruh.
Also that fight reset of Young Xehanort was a really cool show of his time control, in KH3 it's just armor named time
@AT Productions you can stop it though, he is a time controlling younger version of the main villain, his data fight should be hardest, not easiest
@AT Productions you’re both right but I feel like it’s cool either way
In KH3's DLC if you fail to deplete his armor in time he does actually rewind time and restore a few bars of his HP.
The funny thing about this is that I was actually about to start a critical run for DDD so like this is one hell of a coincidence
Oh, if you land the RC on Xemnas, you can land a punish, but he can no longer flinch for the rest of the fight
“So easy! I thought we were doing level 1? So easy!”
“That really sucks this fight sucks.”
Glad you talked to the moogle, big speed run strat

@@Xpwnxage sometimes people just don't get along, it's not very interesting. everything's fine now though

It's why you can't do Crit without beating the game which allows you to use your Spirits in NG+
@@tylercafe1260 Even without NG+ you should be able to do competent damage fairly early on in Critical Mode if you know what you're doing since Yoggy Ram is made available at the start of Sora's La Cite des Cloches.

“And it was a disaster” sounds about right LOL
Wow DDD level 1 is actually well routed? thats pretty neat
Babe, wake up. New Ninten video
I loved this game when it came out on 3Ds. I can't go beyond prankster's now, sadge :(
I loved this game so much when I was younger. I gave up on it when I had to fight the sewer dude on critical mode.

ngl i love the vibrant colors in this game
