KINGDOM HEARTS 3 Has the best combat in the series

Combos on Anti Aqua

[theshadowman]

Kh1: simple
Kh2: fun and simple
Kh3: fun and simple and combo go

[megakoni]

The combat really shines in the remind Data Boss fights. There are so many possibilities to win

[swiftchancellor]

Very true. The keyblade transformations add way more than the form changes in 2. Being able to weave all these new movesets together with magic is so awesome.

I love both 2 and 3. The primary difference to me is that the complexity in 3 comes mostly from new mechanics: Air stepping, keyblade forms, keyblade swapping, different magic styles depending on keyblade forms, element reactions, attraction flow. All of these are developments of past mechanics, but presented in new ways that make you reconsider how everything interacts. Meanwhile, kh2s new mechanics don't really change much of how you play. Yes, mp charge is new, so you have to reconsider how you use magic, and theres form changes, but if you mashed x in kh1, you'll still mash in kh2. Sometimes you'll just mash triangle instead. The primary complexity is really reaction timing for rcs and blocking, and planing ahead for when to use your more powerful things (limits, drive, summons, refect, cure).

Not saying either approach is better than the other. Kh3 is just training a different type of managment because it's expected that you've played 2 already.

Best combat *in the series??* Nah, don't get me wrong, it's good, but nothing can touch the true king of combat in the franchise. That's right you all know which one I'm talking about, let's all say it on 3.


1


2


3

I love the attack animations in 3 but I feel a lot of them can often leave you vulnerable especially in critical mode. Kh1 and 2 felt like you could control your pace a bit more between attacking and defending

[hedgy.]

this is what i was looking for so i know if i should buy it thanks!!

[theredlumas]

i love this combat so much i don’t know why so many people hate it
(except attractions)

[Mario_KHX]

Bro, I can't believe the comments here. Someone says...

KH2 is the best: 👍

KH3 is the best: HOW DARE YOU!

Like guys, both games have pros and cons. Stop acting like one game re-invented the wheel and the other broke it in half.

And sorry if it seems like I'm in a personal cruzade here but from where I stand it seems like people rushed through KH3 once and formed an opinion outta there (or worse, from a youtuber who has clear bias towards it).

[korbotv]

Nothing will ever beat KH2 combat. KH3 is just too flashy

[Tarragon_]

Kh3s combat is brilliant and underrated.

[Crowned_Hearts]

KH2 is still the Best There is no nostalgia here for me either I played KH2 After KH3 came out. KH2 has the Best overall combat while KH3 has the most varied and the coolest looking combat system.

[magi]

In kh2, you mash X and some quick spells for combos

Here you have: keyblade swapping mid combo, shotlock, form changes, airstep, multiple guard counters. IDK why people say kh2 is "better" despite kh3 giving more expansions to combos

[Kaimine]

I still prefer the combat in kh2, but doing a KH3 run recently and I did notice you can block damn near any time in a combo. That's a great addition. It's also why I sometimes prefer some of the less powerful keyblades. Oathkeeper and Ultima weapon are amazing, but they have disadvantages to them compared to other keyblades such as how short range their guardbreaks are or that their combo can be long enough that you can't guard between combos. Some keyblades give better magic variations compared to others too and of course the shooting keyblade, defend and counter keyblade, and mirage keyblades to offer multiple variations of combat which definitely keep things fresh and allow for better coverage.

[eniq]

Yes but also no, I like the fast paced combat of Kingdom Hearts 2 more but I still like the flexibility of KH3’s combat more. I hope, that KH4 will be the best of both.

[Giggles_iJest]

Lackluster story (haven't tried re:mind)

[keisui_music]

i see so many people saying kh3 is too flashy, over the top, and floaty with its combat when i feel the same exact way towards kh2, ironically enough i notice it MORE in kh2 than i do with kh3

[theshadowman]

Kh3 is the best when it comes to fun combat. Kh2 is kinda restrictive, but it becomes very fun later on. Kh1 is more about roleplay than the other 2. That my take on kingdom hearts combat from 1 to 3.

[YeetusMingus]

It has the flashiest combat, I'll give you that. But KH2 still reigns supreme in terms of technical design

[HuladeHoopla]

I think 2 and 3 combat is equal. But I think the difference is. Two has big parts that are meant for fighting which end up looking bland and empty. The pride lands is the best example. 3 has combat, big worlds with npc's, minigames and more and that's why I like it a bit more. That being said. 3 also has the limit cut battles and why are they so god damn hard.
