Dodging Xemnas' DM The Cool Way

Somehow I've never shown off dodging the vines during his DM. Figured I'd make a video showing it off on my level 99 file since I've been using it for other data org videos. Also showed a new dive punish at the end that I don't think I've seen anyone else do

Im honestly way more impressed by the rest of the fight than with the DM. In the DM he pretty much used the aame strategy I used except he punished at the beginning of it which I was really surprised by. The rest of the fight on the other hand... I mean the level of memorization and skill it takes to know exactly when to use each spell, the shotlock, the perfect air slams etc. Its way more impressive than beating it on level 1 critical all pro codes because theres so many more options that you have to remember.

[@lowhp_comic]

[@conflagads5238]

@@shifan9085 I mean, Data Xemnas in KH3 is the most floaty fight out of all the fights in KH3, something like Data Xion or Saix you're on the ground the entire time. I've never really understood the floaty arguement as floaty imo doesn't necessarily equals bad. BSB's combat was floaty and bad, DDD's combat was floaty and bad; however I really enjoy KH3's combat and I think the floatiness of KH3 adds to the enjoyment as I believe the gameplay was built with floatiness in mind. BSB and DDD, those games were floaty and felt bad because they just weren't designed well whereas I feel KH3 was floaty intentionally and used it to their advantage to include more gameplay options and improve aerial combat.

[@jaredweakstrike6195]

@@conflagads5238 Facts. This game would be a lot worse if you could not use magic,item or air dodge

[@WillJV2]

@@shifan9085 floatiness doesn't really affect anything negatively for these fights. Some of them are designed for you to be in the air and it works just fine. As long as the combos feel good and don't cause you to get hit out of your control it's not an issue. This is definitely one of the if not the best base Sora with all the new combo mods.

[@PixelHeroViish]

In itself, it's not as solid as in KH2 or 1, but if you try hard enough and know the hidden mechanics, it works out just fine in its own way

[@SBFan347]

While this is an impressive display from Will that showcases the absolute best the kh3 combat system has to offer, it requires ignoring the stupidly broken parts of kh3 combat that drag it down. Aoe firaga giving only 0.1 or 0.2 (forget the exact number but know its absurdly low) RV allowing you to skip most of the fights on casual critical is unacceptable to me. Or critical counter counter flurry just deleting over 2 bars of health even on level 1 is just a little unbalanced. Or there's the entire base game being unbalanced as shit to the point of why bother with the cool parts of the combat when you can take 30 seconds to just nuke the uninteresting boss and save yourself the trouble. Not to say that kh2 is totally free of broken mechanics but stuff like final form firaga doesn't really reach the same point until you've hit the damage cap. Other exploits are either unusable at level 1 or so slow and boring it's faster and more fun to just fight the boss normally. (Or in some rare cases it's actually harder to abuse something than it is to just do the fight). And I'm not saying that the level 1 speedrun strats for kh3 data org are free or something you can just learn in a couple tries, but they're just not interesting. They suffer the same fate as the base game where balance ruins it (though the data org is actually fun to do without abuse compared to base game kh3) Tl;dr: Kh3 has cool aspects of its combat but its ultimately crippled by the horrendous balancing and design choices present

[@Shadowslash1]

Everyone else seems focused on the DM dodging, which was cool. I'm more focused on the fact you weren't falling from the sky stunned (even in your no hit vid you were still stunned after the DM)

[@masapeeta4140]

Stun protection master medal?

[@edgeofultima7483]

Form changes are immune to status effects. He was probably still in ultimate form when the stun would have procked and switched right after

[@limyongsteffen890]

"Try this!" Goes off again.

[@chriswolf9063]

I don't know what's even worse if I was in xemnas's situation, the fact it took both Sora and Riku to dodge and parrying that laser barrage attack with Riku almost biting the dust but still got finished off BY Sora or Sora fucking moon walking the laser barrage by himself with no allies to fight alongside and defending him. The ultimate disrespect, no pun intended here!

Because the limits for the bosses are cut.

[@metaphysicalmadman8244]

So now with the release of ReMIND, do you think KH3 with the ReMIND fixes has as good of, if not a better combat system than KH2?

[@yozora1047]

Imo there's no comparison because the 2 games don't share common fundamental gameplay styles. KH2's combat is mostly made for ground combat, the magic is more versatile, there's more options with your command menu and the superbosses are more focused on using what you have available. Bosses like Sephiroth, Data Battlee and the Lingering Will are based around using your gameplay's fullest potential and in a minor point: patterns. KH3RM's combat is more balanced, with better aerial combos and nerfed ground potential compared to KH2's godlike moves (explosion and zantetsuken are stupid strong, radial blaster and last charge do not compare). Re Mind's superbosses primarily prioritize pattern recognition more than using Sora's kit to his fullest advantage. Hell, there's not even a 2nd page for the command menu, and for most Data & Yozora speedruns a common element is less menu navigation compared to the FM boss speedruns. For me, KH2 mostly rewards you for good menu management and how you preform in a boss while KH3 rewards you for more minimalist and strategic play like pattern recognition.
