TyphoonStrom I’m pretty sure your companions scale to your level, meaning that since this is a level 1 sora, riku and other companions are likely the same, meaning they’d be one shotted by all the strong enemies
From 5:23-5:33, that was just an incredible segment. That’s something you’d want to see in the game’s cutscenes, or even as an established gameplay mechanic, to be able to just keep evading and countering moves in quick succession that way. Amazing.
Rewatching gameplay from 1 and 2, the combat back then was a lot more tame lol I think it's because I and II were designed so you didn't need guard or dodge roll equipped while in III, you most certainly need both equipped Especially if you compare the Data battles from II to the ones from III
@@sakonan4883 what sucks is different teams have different mindsets. I was hoping Osaka would have at least a similar mindset to Tokyo but I guess not.
TheFruityKing Are you implying we shouldn't enjoy a game we are enjoying just because it has less content than what was expected? I mean, sure. It could have been better than what we got, but it is easy to understand why it felt so lackluster: SE started to develop KH3 from scratch using an engine they are not used to at all, we lost important Voice Actors which meant they have to change a couple things to go around it, it took so long to develop that the plot probably had to be revised a number of times, and the hype of the fans, etc.
Did Xehanort not inform Dark Riku that he had been defeated in his timeline? And by Sora KH1 style when he was considered at his weakest. I guess Xehanort was desperate for vessels, Lol.
I get the idea that a lot of the Seekers got cocky and didn't change up their fighting styles to fight Sora Hence why a lot of them have battle styles more suited for ground combat Also, Xehanort probably told Dark Riku a lot of lies, like Riku being replaced by a replica because Dark Riku believes he's the real one and he clearly doesn't have memories of the ending of 1 when Riku turned good Also, the Data battles are the members' real-in story strength, and we can argue that Dark Riku is a lot stronger than Ansem-Riku in 1
They seem to tone down enemy AI when it targets allies. If you put any of the Keyblade Wielders against regular heartless they’d be pathetic compared to Donald and Goofy.
Malik Hutchinson magnet burst cancel has been in since day 1 but from what I’ve seen it’s only for triangle commands. I think you can also do it with magic but not 100% sure
Dark riku reminds me of that old spiderman cartoon when peter has the symbiote on him and hes chasing shocker, shit just youtube spiderman shocker you'll see what I mean
Ok, i thought Luxord's card were my favorite Organization weapon. I was wrong. Xigbar's arrow guns can be dual pistols, a rifle, AND a bow. They look like SO MUCH FUN to use.
Last comment i swear. When xiggy puls out the bow and says start dancing...thatd work a lot better if the arrows werent in a perfect circle slowly progressing towards sora
I've tried the battle again, and although I did a much better job than usual, I just can't get my Sora to Airstep right after finishing a combo in the air, I have tried sooo many times but the QTE just won't trigger, is there a specific setting or is it just that my controller is getting a bit old?
Did you try starting to hold the button mid combo instead of when the combo ends? You can even enter shotlock view while in an attack animation, and cancel your attack into a shotlock or airstep.
Jeez, Riku's week as hell in this fight, can't even stay alive long enough to help Sora defeat Xigbar and Riku replica Sora has to do it on his own, but any how nice work, doing this on kh3 crit mode is not easy you've got some good skill, I'm pretty impressed, really great work!
i was really hoping critical would do something like : make them both phase 2 from the beginning of the whole fight. having to deal with dark riku's dm and xigbar's dm simultaneously or staggered even (depedning on how theyd open the fight) sounds rly exciting and fun. but instead it's just more of the same, just damage differences :(
For Sora This was a fight for the ages , an end of the journey... For the warrior of light, this was a normal Tuesday. At least there were no Primals to fight. Just an annoying old man and his twelve pawns.
Something has me thinkin dark rikus still got a huge spot in the game since yaknow xigbar being who he is (looking out for you all waiting for xmas or something nuts) why would they pair xigbar up with a non important unless of course every stage of fights has 1 critical persona nd noones
Kingdom Killer There should have been a warning for spoilers and then put the secondary title under a “Read More”, but it’s been about four months now. RUclips is not careful about spoilers, and plenty of people have made videos with focus on Xigbar and the other Lost Masters.
Max Levine thing is, some people still care. I personally don’t, but it is very jarring to watch a gameplay video from an underrated RUclipsr and have a spoiler, front and center.

"TAKE THIS!"

that summarizes my entire critical mode, particularly xehanort and lump of horror
This was the equivalent to a reaction command
this makes me want to play this game again
LitRim1 and people say this game has no depth in the gameplay
@@nick6019 it doesn't though.
You beat dark riku?
but he's unstoppable!
"So that bastard lied to me"
If he was in kh1 and re chain i can still kick his ass now
I guess Sora was immovable
5:20 "Think fast!"
With all those counters, he sure as hell did... That's what makes some very high level gameplay.

😄😄😄😄😄
😂😂😂
Xigbar sounds like he's in pain because of talking
Xigbar: "This one's special!"
Riku: (I don't need to Dark Roll past this wall of dark arrows, do I?) * gets rekt, every single time *

Ok that Ars finisher on Xigbar was a thing of beauty
7:12 *But Why....*
Me: Because of the Darkness. Wasn't that obvious? ;0
we need something like kh2 and khddd where we can refight bosses but harder
To be fair, there are probably many DLC to come that will add more content. Hopefully this will be part of it.
Those are data battles bud.. and they are most likely coming
As fans, you guys gotta stop accepting the lack of content in this game.
@@thefruityking6722 Hey as long as the game's fun and lets you do some pretty cool stuff I'm satisfied, don't go speaking for all of us

Congratulations! That was awesome.
Did Xehanort not inform Dark Riku that he had been defeated in his timeline? And by Sora KH1 style when he was considered at his weakest.
I guess Xehanort was desperate for vessels, Lol.
I get the idea that a lot of the Seekers got cocky and didn't change up their fighting styles to fight Sora
Hence why a lot of them have battle styles more suited for ground combat
Also, Xehanort probably told Dark Riku a lot of lies, like Riku being replaced by a replica because Dark Riku believes he's the real one and he clearly doesn't have memories of the ending of 1 when Riku turned good
Also, the Data battles are the members' real-in story strength, and we can argue that Dark Riku is a lot stronger than Ansem-Riku in 1
Gee, looks like Riku really is a keyblade master. His ability to get pummeled instantly and sit around for most of the battle is a sight to see.
Nice finishers for both
Xigbar screams and proceeds to take shots in front of Xehanort. For he does not know what just happened.
Didn't think Riku would do so much damage as a measly ally bot.
They seem to tone down enemy AI when it targets allies. If you put any of the Keyblade Wielders against regular heartless they’d be pathetic compared to Donald and Goofy.

Talk about dope reflexes. I never played Critical mode but I don't think I'd last lol

6:01 Holy shit, Riku.
Did you skip the cutscene part before the 13th dilemma song
what did u use to record this and how is it soo smooth, i dont remember game being this smooth on ps4 pro
riku can't even beat his own younger doppleganger without sora's help thats sad
Pat Dornoff that’s because the game was written in a way to make Sora look stronger than every other keyboard wielder
@@lancecoleman6684 Thats because he is stronger.
Thats because party members on critical mode get one shot lile you would if you get hit.. Tbh they need to buff thier defense.
Canonically riku is definitely stronger than him. Kh3 wouldnt have you believe that tho.
I'm gonna say it right now: Come the Limit Cut DLC, Sora will have his share of the pain of being a AI party member.
This dude is a fucking God.

Cuz he isnt ansem anymore. Tbh the zoming is so annoying and is the reason I cant pass the fight rn.
