Breakdown: KH3 Base Sora ~ Kingdom Hearts 3 Analysis

"Kh3 sora isnt very detailed." Bio- "hold my keyblade"

[insert funny name here] keyblades*

[@Monty2289]

He is but he isn't. His combos have no weight and a lot of it feels like him spinning on an axis. It's unnatural and makes feel like he isn't actually doing any of these moves with his own physical prowess vs. 2FM and even 1FM where even Sora's most atheletic acrobatic maneuvers felt a bit more hands on and direct. If they slowed down some of the animation and detached light and air effects and the weird pull effect where he drags himself into his combos as well as off course weigh Sora down slightly I'd appreciate his animations in 3 a lot more.

[@ayeedonald629]

Monty2289 I mean, a new game should come with different movements. It would of just be boring if they just copy and paste in the new game. But its was a rush project anyways, still a fun decent game

[@Ougichii]

@@Monty2289 Exactly what I thought. Many movements do not have Sora's center of gravity. (Sry, for my bad english)

[@Monty2289]

@@ayeedonald629 No game that sells itself with fluid controls, and combat should ever 'reinvent' the wheel. I didn't really make an argument for movement in particular

[@alicemoon8126]

I never understood why the flowmotion aura was blue instead of pink like ddd But i like to think it's because it's like a weaker version of it since it's the real world (explaining why it's not as op)

[@iasonjacksongrace]

I thought it was because he was using gravity on himself

[@Kyle-fn9tz]

Pink? I think it’s more purple+ Violet color just like the color title of Dream drop distance

[@Bobsican]

I mean, The Grid was a real world as stated by Young Xehanort.

[@Nodexis]

It’s blue because it’s weaker this is also stated that he got weaker in the beginning of the game that’s why they were in Olympia to see why is that. Yes blue is weaker than the one we saw on DDD

[@zaqareemalcolm]

I mean, magenta/pink is kinda KH3D's signature color so it could just be as simple as that

[@aguywithgames3135]

Sora lowkey looks like he’s having fun while fighting here, what with all the flips, tricks, and other moves he does while performing the his attacks.

[@JustAthel]

Well sora never really has taken any fights TRULY seriously to be fair, it's pretty fitting considering his character

[@miguelcastillo3723]

Well it make sense Dante - Looks like a wacky wahoo pizza man Bayonetta - Looks like a lady dancing on the floor with class Raiden - Looks as if he's a wild beast while still keeping his senses Ryu Hayabusa - Looks very stern, focused and disciplined Kratos - Looks like a man filled with nothing but unending rage

[@thomasthecoolkid7228]

Counter Kick? Don't you mean... *_RIDER... KICK!!!_*

[@reyonXIII]

Okay, NOW i'm keeping that as my reprisal no matter what!

[@Flamehedgehog]

I be honest I yell that every time I end up defeating a boss with the counter kick. 😂

[@ChefinBb]

Play it at half speed and it sounds like he’s really stoned and/or drunk, and super excited about all these animations

[@EmblemAsura]

"Sora's High Jump and Double Jumps are similar to Kingdom Hearts 1" *proceeds to show Birth by Sleep*

[@BioRoxas]

XD I forgot to put in a note that Ven looks more similar

[@EmblemAsura]

@@BioRoxas Ah, it's okay

[@benedict6962]

You blazed through all of that fast. Never knew about water affecting shadows, but I always used them for the added hits when they circle around sora. Risk dodge combos just have so much style for something so rare to pull off.

[@BioRoxas]

Risk dodge is so cool! I'm so surprised that there were like two or three different versions of it!

[@SSlash]

Bio-Roxas I honestly wanna say there’s one that you missed too but I’m not 100% sure 🤔

[@BioRoxas]

Superslash there actually is! Someone was telling me there’s one against Terranort in the KG

[@SSlash]

Bio-Roxas yeah I saw! 👀I don’t think that’s the only occasion it can happen tho, I’m sure other humanoid enemies can make it happen too

[@aguywithgames3135]

Funnily enough, the journal entry for Shadows tells you that very weakness.

[@avalabbaman]

Question for mr. Bio-Roxas: Now that you extensively covered both kh3 and kh2 animations for Sora, which of the two is your personal favourite, only in terms of choreography/style?

[@BioRoxas]

Kingdom Hearts 3 animations for sure! The level of detail is insane!

[@skelenize]

Bio-Roxas if you consider all the technical disadvantages of ps2 as compared to Ps4, would you change your mind?

[@SSlash]

Bio-Roxas I don’t like some of the animations for example payback strike and final blow, but mostly when you see it slowed down he just looks like he’s flailing around so much for no reason lol and I wish falling slash could’ve fully replaced that flipping attack 😢 just overall wish there was like at minimum 2 more situational modifiers, and that finishers had more of an impact on bigger enemies

[@BioRoxas]

Maybe but there’s just the small details in the animations of KH3 that make it shine! There’s definitely some impressive stuff in Kh2 namely with valor and final form!

[@skelenize]

When underwater, If an enemy is far away enough, Sora will trigger his second water attack first. Very useful when fighting xehanort

[@BioRoxas]

For sure! I only did the first two attacks during that sequence! Made it much easier

[@heartsofhearts]

*I never noticed about the block that turns into different many attacks to get back at the heartless.*

[@BioRoxas]

It's a pretty rare thing to happen and it's so fast it's hard to see what is going on!

[@MrAniquilator69]

8:57 i think that counter is most likely like the super allmighty 1hit k.o Hayner kick

[@fauxsynder]

This is so interesting!! Thank you for doing so much research and helping to break this down. I look forward to seeing your videos every week, keep being awesome!

[@BioRoxas]

[@DarkStarxLiveWire]

Bio-Roxas one thing I forgot to add on to my previous comment is that I look forward to your KH dream drop distance Links breakdown mostly because I’m interested in riku’s links I’m somewhat confused on all of his

[@YourOldFriend_Darkness]

I love the video bio and thank you finally someone else who noticed that Soras base ground finisher is a BLITZ thank you no one else has ever brought that up! You’re a genius bio.

[@apathy2454]

whoa I completely underestimated risk dodge it looks so cool counter kick looks pretty dope too

[@MI-nv8np]

Like I said, he would be great in Smash.

[@Darth_Bateman]

Their goal is to break the internet, right? Only possible way to do that is with Sora or Goku, given who is in Smash already the chances for both of them are preeeetty high.

[@kibblezzz]

[@larnrothdergan2399]

@Bio-Roxas Awesome! Glad you did an extensive cover for Sora's base form in both 2 and 3. But one thing I noticed though and I though I should let you know; underwater in the Caribbean world, you can actually cut the swirling tornado finisher short by pressing the Square button and is something I use when I know I'm about to be attacked from behind and be super useful. Warning though! It may not work 75% of the time because most times you'll still complete the finisher commbo, but other times, it cuts it to a fraction and allows you to still be versatile. Little tip 😃😉

[@BioRoxas]

Oh really? I didn't realize you could cancel out of it sometimes!

[@larnrothdergan2399]

@@BioRoxas Yup! And I think the same for the ground and air base Combos too (but I think that's already known and established)

[@rayasg7326]

11:02 “you spin me right round , baby right round!”

[@Riku70X]

Wow, the amount of detail in both kh3 and this video is just unreal. I would never of thought that someone could spend over 13 minutes talking about this. It's all super accurate too, with only very minor nitpicks like how you said Sora's idle animation mimicked Ventus, even though it is something Sora has been doing since kh1. The only actual "mistake" is at 8:47 / 9:00 , because this move is actually a reference to the flowmotion attack in DDD when Sora/Riku is grinding on a rail.

[@BioRoxas]

I think there’s a video that shows Sora before he links with Ventus and after and he only puts his hands behind his head after he links with Ven! Ya I completely forgot about the similarity to the flow notion attack xD

[@soralight_x]

Bio-Roxas Your Photagraphic Memory is Truly Amazing! 👍

[@YuupTheGreatness]

I love how graceful sora fight its like he’s dancing the whole time

[@rayasg7326]

6:51 that looks like the fever pitch finisher from BBS Ven lands in the ground making appear 3 rays of light in the ground 0:48 also this looks similar to guard break from kh2 9:46 and that move looks similar to reversal from also kh2 and BBS 12:51 it shotguns like in kh1

[@SoloWan_XIII]

Thanks a lot for this breakdown 😄 ! You did very well bro 👌🏽! Airstep is such a useful and stylish command 😍. I didn't even know that Sora slides on his Keyblade when attacking while gliding on slippy ground 😱 (3:26).

[@NinjaWarotMCph]

I wanna point out that the final hit of Speed Slash has multiple rays of gold following rather than one, and that makes me think that he slashes there with the Keyblade's teeth upwards than behind the shaft.(I paused up and he does for a few moments then rotates it to make it follow behind that shaft.) Also, in the Unison Finishers, the same thunder effect circling around Aqua and Mickey when activating Wayfinder also triggers there(and circles Sora the respective character involved). Risk Dodge for bigger enemies also looks like the Reversal RC dodge from 2.

[@BioRoxas]

Good points! I didn't notice the speed slash rays!

[@NinjaWarotMCph]

@@BioRoxas ALSO HEY HEY HEY Can you try blocking at enemies with high Strength vs. low Strength? Mys theory is that Riskdodge is dependent your Strength versus the strength of the attack blocked. (If Sora's str equal or greater: block successful and open to reprisal. if lesser, leave Sora open only to a riskdodge that allows for a risk reprisal)

[@Faris0747]

Nice! Can't wait to watch the vid

[@thvndaga]

I really love the Anti-Aqua fight and have a couple of separate saves just for fighting her. Most (if not all) of her opening keyblade attacks trigger Risk Dodge, and Sora performs a surprising number of different ones that I’ve seen. I think they differ depending on what attack Aqua uses. What’s interesting is that she breaks out of some of Sora’s resulting reprisals easily while others leave her stunned long enough for you to continue a combo. So for looking more into Risk Dodge I recommend experimenting with that fight if you haven’t already! (And now I’m thinking it’d be kinda cool to see a compilation of all the Risk Dodges in the game because there’s so many of them depending on the enemy/attack.)

[@BioRoxas]

Oh thanks for the tip!! I'll be sure to check that out!

[@OmegaJX]

I honestly think Rising Spiral with no Combo Pluses or Extra finishers is the best combo, its fast, knocks enemies into the air (which leaves most of them vulnerable) and if performed correctly, gives you 7 hits, not to mention Rising Spiral can work as an early game AOE Attack.

[@BioRoxas]

For sure! I can't remember if I mentioned it, but the modifiers count as part of the combo so if you have all of your combo finishers equipped and no combo pluses, you will go straight into your finishers after the modifier.

[@SSlash]

JBG I feel sorta the same way for most cases, sometimes I change it around but that’s kinda the way you get the most hits off which charge the arrows faster

[@robitussinbrohan718]

This is definately the second best base sora. I still prefer kh2 base sora. However ultimate form sora is definately better than final form sora.

[@FGCtrash]

Robitussin Brohan In some terms I kind of like final form more just because he uses his key blades like guns

[@matyassara9640]

Robitussin Brohan me: are you sure about that? Cuz *F I N A L F O R M F I R A G A*

[@robitussinbrohan718]

Kamryn Keith true but in terms of overwheliming power,(and not in a cheesy way) ultimate form outclasses final form and really shows Sora’s evolution.

[@FGCtrash]

Robitussin Brohan yeah but the dual wielding and just the fact that the keyblades are floating makes it cooler design wise in my opinion

I think the one that only happened once may have been due to how far away you were from him when your guard was blocked, likely only possible for specific enemies. ...basically, just the trolls and their giant axes.

[@sokoTV2]

I didn't realize there was more than one finisher per Donald and Goofy. Is it unlocked through levelling and chosing something different than the path of the guardian?

[@phantom-X2086]

No, it's unlocked through minigames, Unison Blizzard is unlocked in getting the high score for the flan in Arendelle, Fusion Rocket is unlocked from Snow Sliding game also in Arendelle and Unison Thunder is unlocked in the dancing minigame in Kingdom of Corona

[@phantom-X2086]

You have to get the recommended high scores to get them

[@akira1699]

8:49 I think this move is more reminiscent of ddd sora when on a rail and you press attack he will teleport and do that move

[@Grzester23]

I think there are couple more nods to earlier Kingdom Hearts games in KH3 Sora's moveset: Third Air Combo hit seems similar to second basic KH2 Air Combo Finisher. The attack that Sora uses to close to grounded enemy is similar to basic KH2 Air Combo Finisher. Risk Dodge is basicly more stylish Reversal from KH2 and BBS.

[@BioRoxas]

Good points!

[@Grzester23]

I also think that both ground and air 2nd basic finishers from KH2 (which also happen to be 3rd attacks in KH3 Sora's combos) might be a nod to basic KH1 finishers, where Sora does that iconic horizontal slash while spining. But that might be streching a little

[@bennefib]

KH3 sora makes the keyblade look heavy, KH2 acts like the keyblade is merely a extension of his hands

[@shiranui2844]

This is backwards.

[@zeeonunderscore]

@@shiranui2844 agreed

Your right, KH2 Sora is like a Samurai, his blade is an extension of himself while KH3 Sora just awkwardly throws it around like a child playing with a toy

[@shiranui2844]

@@jonnysac77 It's mainly the ease in and ease out of the animations though.

[@marcoa6319]

While many fans and I prefer KH2 Sora over KH3 in terms of gameplay, is Sora’s power more greater in universe? While we all love drive forms, but formchanges can be more effective in using the Keyblade’s true power. You can use a shield for a powerful counter and a spear for better range. What’s better is that formchanges doesn’t need a a drive gauge and can potentially go on indefinitely if it’s stored away or is used more often. His early base combos are now very refined than the kh2’s. And he also has better reprisals for counter attacks. For any complaints, the dlc does offer new attacks which has a faster pace like kh2. There’s also the addition of shotlocks, flowmotion, and attractions.

[@prototagteaching2666]

MFW Bio didn't talk about how the second guard break reversal thing is actually just Reversal from KH2. You guys remember Revsal, right? The reaction command when dealing with Dusks that lets you slide behind them for an easy combo?

[@BioRoxas]

LOL I forgot xD hahaha that was like right in your face too! I’m so embarrassed. I call myself a KH fan?

[@prototagteaching2666]

[@ArrowSlayer]

Very cool!

[@devonm042690]

You mentioned two different Risk Dodges against a Rock Troll. I noticed the one where Sora slides between its legs was triggered when a Rock Troll broke his guard in its armored state. The teleporting variant happened when Sora's guard was broken by the Rock Troll's overhead swing. The teleporting Risk Dodge has Sora appearing in the Rock Troll's face. Taking this information, as well as that of the other mentioned Risk Dodges, I think it's safe to conclude that a Risk Dodge animation will always be some manner of single, fluid movement, whether it be an arc or a straight line, and that they are programmed depending on what attack broke Sora's guard so that the movement puts Sora in a position that would be most disadvantageous to the enemy. Of course this means a point most advantageous to attack from, but in the case of the Armored Rock Troll, Armored state enemies don't stagger, so it makes sense that the Risk Dodge would put Sora in a position that would put him at least risk of being subject to a follow up, and thus give him some breathing room The Risk Dodge in response to the overhead swing also fits the single fluid movement theory as well, because the enemy's weapon impedes any straight shot to the enemy's face, and so a teleport circumvents such a hurdle. While an Armored Rock Troll can only be damaged from the back, the Rock Troll's base state has to be hit in the face. Add to that the fact that the Rock Troll doesn't move for a few moments after its overhead swing, and getting in its face is clearly a safe maneuver.

[@marcoa6319]

Here is my lore reasoning for the new combat fighting style in 3. After the Mark of Mastery, Sora and Riku went back to their “self taught” combo approach as well as using their personal mp for spells (Riku deciding to rework his attacks as a new change of pace). However, their use of the Command Deck from 3D comes into play. While they don’t use that system anymore, Sora and Riku probably learned how to properly harness the Keyblade’s own power. They can use certain attacks and spells to build up the Keyblade’s power in the form of Situation commands which is similar the Wayfinder trio’s command gauge. That way they can use Attack/Grand Magic Commands without their own mana. I’m guessing that Mickey remembered Aqua’s modified fighting style and told Sora and Riku that they should try it once their exam was done. This style was also applied to Lea and Kairi in their formal training.

[@HeroOfLight13]

That third reprisal is actually taken from Dream Drop Distance. It's a Flowmotion attack where if you're grinding on a rail and an enemy is nearby, you can attack by warping away for a split second and then reappear in front of the enemy and perform the same kind of attack animation.

[@BioRoxas]

That’s right? Can’t believe I missed that! Thanks for pointing it out!

[@NorthernDruid]

Risk dodge is criminally underemployed in the game's enemy design that's for sure. And I do wish you had detailed Aero's flowmotion launch, it's such a great feature and whenever it comes up in discussion everyone dismisses it because they don't know how to chain the launch into buzzsaw.

[@saxosipho]

How do you chain into the buzzsaw? Normally I just use airstepping for my flowmo moves, so I'm quite ignorant on Aero chains.

[@BioRoxas]

Buzzsaw will trigger whenever you are surrounded by enemies! So you can do it during super jump, super slide, or just while you're activating flowmotion!

[@ExalinExcels]

The dodge where he slides under the enemy can be done during Laxrine's boss fight as well

[@DiZtheJedi]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but there's a new finisher ability now called Last Charge. It's always the last hit in the combo and is a downward strike that creates a pillar-shaped blast of light. The description says it's damage is determined by the magic stat. I'm not sure when it was added, but I'd wager that it came with the update pushed alongside Remind, along with a couple of other combo abilities you didn't mention: Quick Slash, Flash Step, Radial Blaster, Aerial Sweep, Aerial Dive, and Falling Slash.

[@BioRoxas]

Yeah I’m actually working on an addendum to this video ^^ I made this months ago before the update came with the new abilities!

[@DiZtheJedi]

@@BioRoxas I figured as much. I can't wait for your breakdown of Kairi's attacks, cause that fight was way too hectic to be watching her every last animation.

[@ptrexy]

Do you think you can ever compare Sora's kh1, kh2 and kh3's attacks? Like what is the same, what is similar. Like, example, how vortex and slapshot from kh1, combined, are a slower version of quick slash. Or like aerial sweep is in kh1. Or even how last charge is like gravity break from kh1fm. Sorry for the long post. Just think it would be really cool to see how he evolves from game to game. Thanks!

Btw, it's funny that you mentioned using aero on the 13. Cause I was struggling during that part just trying to kill them in a face to face kind of fight. After about 10 fails or so (possibly 13), I transformed my shooting star into the twin blasters and then into the cannon. They appeared around me and I fired a aeroga up at them. They were trapped within and then I proceeded to basically one shot them with the cannon finisher. I felt like a badass but also felt stupid that I struggled so badly before that haha

Counter Kick reminds me of the Flowmotion Attack for when you grind on rails in DDD, forgot the name though

[@Darksoma]

A bit late, but Sora has a unique and odd situational attack when you're running up a wall, and attack something below him. It's hard to find a proper way to showcase it, as it's oddly specific. He twirls back in the air, hitting whatever is below him with a spinning slash. I'm honestly not surprised no body found it. It's oddly specific, and sees little use.

His early base combos are now very refined than the kh2’s. And he also has better reprisals for counter attacks. For any complaints, the dlc does offer new attacks which has a faster pace like kh2. There’s also the addition of shotlocks, flowmotion, and attractions.

Kh3 sora is unstoppable.

[@AquaJet738]

I think the teleportation dodge for Risk Dodge activates when you get your dodge broken by a distant enemy. Check out this video I found: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eILTi4Csr9ynpK8

[@leafwyvern6620]

These videos are a Godsend, they really help me describe different types of movement when I'm writing. but i don't want this comment to sound too cheesy so here is some ironic stuff: hey why did you put Windus when talking about Soda's jump animation????!?;?

[@BioRoxas]

I meant to put a note in the video saying that Ven's jumping animations were closer to Kh3 Sora's jumping xD I just didn't put a marker there during editing and forgot to go back to it!

[@leafwyvern6620]

O o p s

[@imkrakenup7366]

What is this, Sora's frame data from Super Smash Bros?

[@SSlash]

“Very well done”

[@VentusK]

Epic video

[@malicekingofshadows]

What about the special spells? Ive yet to figure out how to trigger them and I've only seen them pop up a few times I've never triggered them as i never expected them to pop up.

[@BioRoxas]

The Za commands?

[@malicekingofshadows]

@@BioRoxas nope I've only seen them 3 times they are unique spells that pop up in the com and deck overwriting a command if you chain spells as wean I do magic its by instinct and the short cut menu I've never looked at the command deck while casting well till after I beat critical and went back to easy it was so simple I started doing it and not looking at the Battle some times I was multi tasking but wean I first saw one was during a boss fight and I cast thunderaga a lot and my link command was over written by the time I registered what I saw I cast thunderaga like 4 more times and it was gone I've seen the unique command pop up 2 more times overwriting commands randomly but my timing has been bad I've asked people about these no one seems to have noticed it and there is no data on how to trigger these its kinda a anti masher type of ability by the looks of it but with the combat pace its hard to notice it before it gets removed I'm not sure if there's a time limit to but I've seen it a few times I can't remember the names I've seen off hand but it think it was called lightning or something it broke the spell naming convention and it bugs me I don't know how to trigger it in a non-random manner. I also have no idea if they can be used in forms I've only seen it in base but to be fair I don't know what the conditions to trigger them are so it's possible they can be used in forms I've just never met the criteria for it.

[@elliskaanjones4976]

İ think thats a status effect with the cloud attack some enemies have .if you try to use a command while it is overwritten by lightning command you will get damaged.is this What you were talking about ?

[@malicekingofshadows]

@@elliskaanjones4976 I don't think that's right as there was no status effects in the boss fight and it wasn't like it overwrote a spell it was link and another time it was item it reminds me of the dual reaction command from kingdom hearts 2 I've never been good at that but it's only one command so you really need to be paying attention to notice it I've literally seen no one talk about this. also lighting is my go to spell I'm willing to bet there's one for every element.well other than cure.

[@elliskaanjones4976]

Thats realy interesting.Let me know if you find What it is .

[@OneRandomVictory]

Never knew about Fusion Rocket

[@Scsigs]

Why did you show Ventus' jumps rather than Sora's?

[@BioRoxas]

Meant to make a note in the video but after I was done with the video I saw that Ven actually has more similarities with his jumping animations. 😅

[@Scsigs]

I mean, ok, but you don't even have a few seconds of Sora jumping in KHI or III for comparison like everything else. It just seemed kinda weird.

[@BioRoxas]

Ya that was my bad :< Sorry about that

[@noorredzuan6333]

im wandering,, if you can make breakdown on enemies,, heartless,, nobody,, bosses etc..

[@BioRoxas]

Bosses are coming up actually!

[@noorredzuan6333]

@@BioRoxas wow.. im looking forward bio.. :D

[@dimitriusbroniusgaming7407]

Is it possible that you could cover a video about the party members from different worlds Including Donald and Goofy. Possibly from KH1 then going forward all the way to KH3

[@BioRoxas]

I've seen a couple people asking about this! I may try something in the future! Right now I have a couple things lined up!

[@SSlash]

Bio-Roxas at least gotta do and Donald and Goofy breakdown across each game 😎

[@danieltinsleykhvsff9622]

Nice job.

[@aquilananashi1260]

I didn't know about the skateboard attack..

[@LuNicz]

i will never equip Magic Flash

[@masteraqua2408]

Yeah ikr , those finisher have a very long after attack delay

[@magicalspooncat1721]

Wait but in my playthrough i never got fusion rocket or unison thunder

[@BioRoxas]

I believe they are gained through some of the mini games or special missions!

[@magicalspooncat1721]

Bio-Roxas ah ok. I just went through the main story, got ultima, and just replayed battle gates. Im super excited for re:mind for some new content

[@BioRoxas]

Same! ^^

[@jstar3382]

damn what theme is playing here

[@romesxiii3619]

I hope they add more action abilities in KH3 in the DLC The basic ones we have already are lame And the fact they’re the same in the air & on the ground is even outrageous

[@aguywithgames3135]

By “action abilities”, do you mean finishers or modifiers or something else? That last sentence made it seem you were talking about finishers, but it sounds like you’re talking about more than that

[@romesxiii3619]

AGuyWithGames ya, basically everything that changes Sora’s basic attack pattern from the beginning of the game

[@aguywithgames3135]

RomesXIII Maybe they had to sacrifice that for, well... ... the *thirteen* other unique formchanges?

I did a video on what Sora's lightsaber styles would be if he was a Jedi or Sith. He's really versatile . Check it out.
