Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD - Anti Form

Can you count how many times I say "Anti Form" in this video? Anyway, this is a vid I've wanted to do for a year now, but held off to learn more about it, and thanks to Sonicshadowsilver2 & Tehrizzle, we've recently learned even more about the form so that this video will actually be more in depth than originally planned. The Wiki's have some wrong information on them about Anti Form, so hopefully this video clears some of that up.

Most of the clips are irrelevant to the commentary, since a lot of it is point mechanic talk, and only so much I can do in Anti Form. So to help, I put a lot of text on the screen.

Some of the statistics are hard to verify/test in this, such as Org fights being x4 vs x5. It's only a difference of 40% vs 50% if points are 5-9, otherwise it's 100%+ anyway. Point ranges I confirmed myself though, as well as all Anti Form conditions/rules. No idea if there is a point cap.

If there are any errors in this vid, I'll update it with annotations.

When I was a kid playing this for the first time I was having a really hard time with Xigbar. I kept dying and dying over and over again and one time I went into a drive and got anti form and beat him with it. Made me feel like a shonen anime character using their secret curse power, like Ichigo or Naruto. Maybe thats a little cringey but its one of my fondest video game memories.

honestly one of my favorite parts about the form is that all sora voice clips are outright muted as you're in the form. It really helps add to the mystery factor of the form and gives a very ominous feeling. Like this is probably one of the only times sora uses darkness in a fight and it completely changes his personality. He's just fixated on fighting and nothing else. Pretty cool if you ask me.

It's weird how they made Anti Form a "countermeasure" to "drive abuse" so players wouldn't rely on it, only to make the Final Form transformation not only immune to randomly going Anti Form, but also reducing the Anti Form count by a lot.

Basically "We don't want players abusing drive forms, except Final Form. Abuse the f*** outta that!".

[MazakuHQ]

it is satisfying as hell when you kill a boss with this form.

[zakkzilla]

I counted. You said "Anti Form" a grand total of 69 times in this video.

im not going to lie anti-form is one of my favorite forms

If anyone's not familiar with 'scripted' fights, you can tell that you have the 2x multiplier from it because the command menu is red. Normally, it is yellow in regular (x1) fights.

Every copy of Kingdom hearts should come with a *_"Bizkit047 tutorial manual"_*, since you are explaining all the useful shit Square keeps hiding from us xD

Many thanks!

LMAO when i was a kid, i hit that gauge and go into anti form I go like YO BRO U GOTTA COME AND SEE THIS

[alucardthegrey]

so they dont want you to overuse the forms yet they expect you to grind each of them up to their max level.

[Tsmith]

About the only other thing I'd mention is how your antipoints get refunded to you if you die in battle after getting antiform. Since everything in the game reverts to the last time you zoned into a room, your anti points are reverted too. So people tend to get stuck in the tough fights and wonder why they get antiform 10 times in a row. Well it's cause that 5 point reduction for going anti didn't actually stick.

I actually love anti form, it's fast and powerful but frail as all hell I've always loved speedy powerhouses and high risk high reward. I just wish there was a way to transform willingly.

I had the guidebook for this game as a kid and remember reading about all the Limit forms.
When I got to Anti-Form and saw the words "The more you use Forms, the higher your chance of receiving Anti-Form becomes", I naturally only reserved Forms for Boss Fights and nothing else.

[mistahjenkins]

As someone who likes attacking fast, moving fast, and being the only character to worry about?... This is, oddly enough, the form for me. :D

[Yashahiro_]

I don't mind using anti form. I just pretend it's sora giving in to his darkness / rage where he can't think straight, witch explains why he can't use any items or commands.

[MeteorFalcon]

Great explanations, I'll be sure to share this with people who don't get everything about Anti-form.
One side note though: Even though Sora is alone during the Cerberus Cup in Olympus Coliseum, Anti-Form is still available.

[PlayerZeroStart]

Imagine if cutscenes kept you in Anti-Form like with the other drive forms. That'd be amusing.

[DessawHD]

You should do more like this bring some knowledge to casuals like me about KH mechanics

[epatha]

I was getting my ass kicked by Xigbar the other day and on like the 7th try, I got anti form but that actually allowed me to win ._.

[jcambriz]

I actually would prefer if anti form was an ability we could grind like the other forms in the game and obtain its growth ability. And some of it’s cool attack’s just saying.
