Don't really understand the Goofy hate. He's low-key the smartest and most logical character in the game which is honestly just hilarious in and of itself. Don't know why but he's become my favorite Disney character in the existing KH games so STOP hating on my Goofy boi!!!!

"Well, I've seen this in my recommendeds for a while, so let's check it out. KH2 is one of my favourite games ever, let's see what this is about."

i love how it says for beginners but the video is filled with inside jokes for hardcore fans of the game

[Ghoffman]

I believe Anti-Form was there mainly to punish players who lean on drive forms a little too much and use them very often. There is a hidden counter that increases in points each time you use a form, and the higher that counter is, the higher probability you will turn into your anti-form the next time you attempt to use a drive form.

Considering you cannot heal or exit out of this form at will its clear its meant to be a sort of punishment mechanic.

“What’s going ON?”

The whole Kingdom Hearts fandom

[mr.friendly]

i never gave donald and goofy my items, firstly bc i don't trust them to help me, but moreover, it's ALWAYS donald on the floor dead, and goofy screaming *BOYLE* and spinning somewhere off in the distance

[Kezedrix]

I can understand that the Roxas prologue was weird for experienced KH players but I will always take its defense as it was my first contact with this awesome series and totally sold it for me. The layback, unimportant everyday life shit that slowly turns into some inception end of the world was a kick in the feelings bag

Here's a quick rundown of the Final Mix exclusive super bosses:

Data Xemnas I:
Learn to guard. No seriously, the whole fight is all about guarding. Also always go for the third reaction command.

Data Xemnas II:
In 2.5 HD Remix the crucial reaction commands will bug out quite often, so when you find yourself thrown into the air, you may want to use reflect every now and then. Also Riku's limit break is useful. Oh and block his 'heart sparing' skill by using a reflect or some other spell with i-frames, or a limit, I dunno, just don't let him use this ability.

Data Xigbar:
Combo Plus up to 5 ground attacks, because you'll be spamming Reflega like it's your last day. Stack up ethers or summon Stitch (he gives you MP when ever ya need it) and spam that bad boy. Or get the reflexes of a god in a 30 fps game.

Data Xaldin:
Reflect that air projectile thing, then either guard his physical attacks or block them with the double jump like a pro, combo him but avoid combo finishers because it's hard to get away from him if he retaliates. Use Magnega in the third phase until he starts dropping spears from the sky on you, so you can stack up on reaction commands again.

Data Vexen:
Look up the speedrun strat. Just do it, this boss is horrible.

Data Lexaeus:
The easiest boss. Just dodge all the stuff or reflect all the stuff and the boss is done.

Data Zexion:
Jesus christ.. Okay. Hold R2 while locked on to find the right target. You cannot stunlock him if he's doing attacks, so avoid the attacks, then combo him so you can get out of the book world. Combo him and then rince and repeat. In the second and third phase always use a reflect at the start, because otherwise he completely screws up your command menu. And in the third phase he does his lightshow trick. The light changes 13 times. Pause scum that shit, because you won't have the reflexes for it.

Data Saix:
Unlike in the normal fight, you're invincible while riding one of the berserker swords. So the moment you get one, hurry the fuck up to Saix and beat the shit out of him before he starts spamming his DM again. Or just use the Peter Pan strat and loop his AI until he's dead. Fun.

Data Axel:
This guy's actually pretty fun. The easy way to do it is just using Blizzaga in your combos, but you really don't need it. All ya need is to just dodge roll, and spam triangle when ever he jumps into the flames, because spamming triangle doesn't prevent you from doing anything and you will do a reaction command if one pops up. You can block all of his attacks, but he can circle around you so be careful with what ever you end up guarding.

Data Demyx:
Put Firaga into your shortcuts. Now. Get a crap load of ethers, Stitch won't save you here. And then go into Wisdom form when ever the numbers go up to 50 or above. And you better have drive form at the end of the fight, because he throws 99 water clones at you at the end and you have only 30 seconds to kill them all. Also physical attacks don't do anything to the clones anymore.

Data Luxord:
Pause scum everything. No seriously, you will need to do it, all of his mini-game attacks are ridiculously fast now.

Data Marluxia:
A pretty easy fight. When ever he charges up his scythe and then starts spinning like a madman, there are two things ya can do. If you block twice in a row, you can flip up his scythe and regain your 'hit points'. But if you block once and use a counter attack at the end, you can use a reaction command to take away an entire health bar from him and follow it up with a combo.
His two DMs are easy to deal with. When ever he starts spinning around, you can just dodge through it and block it, walk around in circles. The moment he looks like a person again, attack him because he will teleport away as soon as he can. With the other one, just glide in a wide circle around the arena. This way none of the pillars will hit you, nor his scythe. Though once the spinning scythe vanishes, get ready to dodge or reflect.

Data Larxene:
Reflega. You fucking need it. Take a step towards her at the start and use it immediately, or you're stunlocked to death. Once she gets her clones out, you can basically loop her AI by hitting her revenge value and following it up with a reflect. In third phase you need to use more reflects in a row because her retaliation attack lasts longer. Good luck.

Data Roxas:
You can block all of his physical attacks. Though once the pillars of light start showing up, I suggest using reflect to block his circle attack, or just dodging the whole thing. You can still block his normal combo just fine since he moves faster than the pillars of light. His DM can only be avoided with a fast glide. Also never, fucking never hit his revenge value in the second and third phase, because one of his retaliation attacks is impossible to avoid.

Lingering Will:
Git gud. You heard me.

[DearestRabbit]

It's funny because most people who watch this probably aren't beginners to kingdom hearts. at all. probably very far from it lmfao.

[Raxel]

Dunno if anyone else has tried this, but I found the best way to make Goofy useful. In the main menu, there's the "Customize" thing where you can set up shortcuts for Sora's items/magic/junk. You can also change the AI of your party members here as well. For the world-exclusive ones, I usually have them do their own thing (cause they're more useful than Donald), but for Goofy, set him to "Huddle Attack". He will stick closer to you than a fly stuck on flypaper and will be able to block most attacks heading your way with his massive shield (or his actual body). It really can save you in a pinch, and is the best way to use Goofy.

The best way to make Donald useful? Burn him. Roast his buns and serve him with a side of plum sauce.

Here’s a tip: you know that really annoying car fight? The one where THEY WONT FRICKEN STOP DRIVING INTO ME AND BEING INVINCIBLE. yeah if you had trouble like i did, just use chicken little...seriously chicken little is just...good.

[kaiser]

I’ll try making up confession lines for some characters.
Sora: We’ll stick together no matter how colossal the darkness is!
Roxas: I may be another guy, but our love is unbreakable.
Namine: Exactly what Kairi said.
Kairi: We’ll be spending time on the beach, making new memories.
Axel: (my fav line lol) I’ll fuel our fire ‘till we get old.
Xemnas: The darkness will protect our bond, on and on.
Demyx: The music and song of water is the sound of our love.
(^ I think it’s Demyx, if not I’m referring to Water Guitar Boy.)



See, I’ve gotten this reference from Fire Emblem Awakening.



Alt Xemnas: Xemnas is Mansex when rearranging the letters.

[ThrillingDuck]

Oh my god that Bad Girls gag gave me LIFE

[invertedfreak]

The prologue is great. It's what got me into the story

[Crazelord]

Not sure why my experience is different, but Donald and Goofy are mass murdering maniacs for me every time I play the game. Even on proud mode.

Half the time I can't even get a hit on the heartless to upgrade my drive forms without Donald dropping the thunder of heaven like Thor and smitting all the weaker foes or Goofy barreling at them like a train going off a track.

In Hades I just ran through the whole tunnel cave area without stopping bc they would immediately slaughter every Heartless in my path.

[tlc_nerv]

I lost it at the “bad girls club” edit. Bravo.

[shaggyjon]

That intro with the squeaky pig thing explosion was hilarious!! I cracked up at that
