I have finally MASTERED Cait Sith - FINAL FANTASY 7 REBIRTH

[@DufusShinra]

That rebirth flame cancel was an absolute disrespect to Phoenix 🤣🤣🤣

[@goldpanda5643]

THIS ONE'S A SHOWSTOPPA, great work

[@jinwei996]

Parrying Bahamut's spinning blade attack is just insane lol. Nice job man

[@Knlght0fZero]

You only have to parry the first hit and the one after his small spin break, the other hits gets parried automaticly.

[@aethertruck]

​@@Knlght0fZeroI'll do you one better. On the moogle, parry lasts longer and rapid hits are automatically parried by holding block after the first parry. For example, Bahamut's Vulcan Assault requires 1 button press to parry the whole thing. I think it has something to do with the AI of the moogle re-initiating a block after the parry animation finishes.

[@R_C32]

Never knew you could parry whilst casting on the Moogle, thought it was only just the ability to move around. That's kinda crazy.

[@alchalant4663]

One of the many things cait sith unique . I love him so much I just need to get betterrrrrr

[@daanduijkers4845]

@@alchalant4663 I have my fingers crossed that, in REMAKE PART 3, the devs will implement a mechanic similar to Ochette from OCTOPATH TRAVELER 2, giving Cait Sith the ability to tame certain monsters that he defeats in battle and afterward summon them as mounts similar to his Fat Moogle.

[@meteordaddy8638]

And his dodge has i frames. If you move the left stick while near the enemy he will do a ballet and it’s a perfect dodge.

[@tylocook]

This is the first time i have seen someone kill phoenix immediately with a solo character

[@glitchhidef97]

I thought I was good at this game, but I've started questioning my own skills after this. 🙃

[@Riddle_FFX]

the combat is so insane, everyday someone is uploading new tech/strats lol i wonder how much Square intended/knew would happen, it feels like they knowingly allowed us to "break" the combat in certain aspects.

[@aethertruck]

I think they knew that Cait was ridiculous but I don't think they thought about everything. Aerith has a weapon with the trait "Limit Damage Up". None of her limits even do damage and there's no indication that it affects her party members

[@gb51]

Make no mistake. Game design like this does not happen by accident.

[@Riddle_FFX]

@@gb51 they intentionally didn't set a lot of limits on us. the most they did was make lvl 3 spells cost two ATB bars, but we see how that turned out LOL

[@2052brad]

Personally believe the only thing that was really overlooked is the Brumal spam under ATB ward

[@aethertruck]

@@2052brad I think the brumal problem would be solved by just, not refunding the cost if you don't dodge something. All you need to use it for nearly free is the speed demon keychain. Cait's dodge n' dive and Tifa's focused strike don't refund at all if you don't dodge something

[@kaspertovik2310]

Cait's my favourite character to play as in Rebirth. Great vid and gameplay, specially watching you do small stuff as jumping off the Moogle to absorb Fire damage as the Moogle can't.

[@BrianYix]

0:37 - 0:39 1:35-1:37 These 2 snippets of 2 seconds needs its own hall of fame carpet pedestal and all.

[@LeMelleKH2]

That save of the moogle at 8:39 was insane!

[@tboomgaming]

Watching this again after I did Cloud solo. I hope to do my personal challenge as Cait Sith

[@tboomgaming]

Thank you for sharing 🎉

[@SuperEkkorn]

Beautiful. Never gonna be me ifc, but beautiful

[@gb51]

This is that phenomenal

[@LanceTheDragonMastah]

God i wish i could play this game, but this way i get to at least pretend id be able to do this kind of shit

[@alchalant4663]

Think I’m finally setting rebirth down for a bit this weekend to play some ff16 missions to get used to that combat again before next weeks dlc

[@nephlem_]

Your insane

[@natluenthaisong]

That's lucky slot all star for limit to counter the temporary is insane! true master.

[@aethertruck]

I already had limit, and tbh with the 2 ATBs I could have just killed him in 6 more seconds instead of using slots. I just wanted to flex the slots. Finding a safe spot to use them solo is very hard.

[@myau9912]

Nice!

[@charlieotoole5343]

Any advice on the timing parrying with the moogle?

[@aethertruck]

Parrying on the moogle is 99% just like parrying with anyone else, you just need to know when the moogle can and cannot block, which is when it can and cannot parry. It needs to be either walking under the player's control or it needs to be in a 100% computer controlled state in order to block/parry. Anything the computer does on it's own can be canceled into a block. The moogle cannot block/parry while using attacks that give it an uncancelable unique animation. This means it cannot block/parry while executing Let's Ride, Fortune Telling, Lucky Slots, or any of the 4 moogle abilities. (Knuckle, Kaboom, Magic, Mine) It cannot block/parry while evading with his spin, or while using his twirling hold square button attack. If you push triangle to mount the moogle, it automatically executes a sliding attack and you cannot block/parry. You can prevent the slide by holding the stick and forcing a spin evade, but he cannot block/parry while doing that either. If you push triangle to mount the moogle, you are forced to wait about 1.5 seconds before the moogle is able to block so it is very important to know when it is safe to mount the moogle. If you use Let's Ride, the moogle is able to immediately block/parry after hitting the ground. Cait and the moogle also have armor during the Let's Ride animation, so you may take damage while using it but you won't be interrupted (unless the damage somehow kills the moogle) and will be able to block after. It CAN parry while using Roll o' the Dice and Lady Luck. It can parry while casting anything, and it can parry while you are mashing square for ranged or melee attacks. It can even parry when it executes a baseball slide on it's own. As long as you haven't commanded it to do anything, you can block/parry.

[@antonioguerreiro5759]

Mate how are you parrying, if the R1 menu is not popping up, it almost felt auto parrying???

[@aethertruck]

@@antonioguerreiro5759 the R1 menu is synergy skills and I am solo lol

[@antonioguerreiro5759]

@@aethertruck ok it makes sense xD. Gj btw, Im replaying rebirth now, gona try to play with caith this time xD

Sick 👍

How can you even tell what’s happening

[@ZiZo34344]

More like you mastered parrying.

He did Daigo Proud.

[@ZiZo34344]

@@RJrockstars he sure did

[@chemicalist]

How do you do a forward roll on the moogle

[@aethertruck]

Requires a target. Hold square outside melee range. Only behaves as a gapcloser but immediately cancels into the spin attack if you are still holding square in melee range

[@godaddy9837]

The amount of things that need to go right is insane. Imagine if you didn’t get the limit break to resist octaslash or odins temporal imprisonment. Or somehow camera messed up and you failed to clip both of bahamuth wings Or phoenix didn’t die and dodged one of gilgamesh summon attacks The RNG is brutal here and that second limit you got on sephiroth was like game holding your hand saying take the win.

[@aethertruck]

Octaslash limit was manufactured with like 8 perfect blocks and Transference Module + ATB Limit weapon trait. The sonic boom I used before octaslash gave my my last bit of limit so it wasn't luck. (It was, however, dozens of attempts) Besides that, Cait can actually dodge octaslash. eauvni did it in his uploaded clear and I've done it but not uploaded it yet. Dismounting the moogle is basically a short range teleport which is how you do it. On Odin I already had limit, I was just flexing the Lucky Slots for fun. I get both of Bahamut's wings every time. Target one, hold square will kill it every time. 2nd level magic kills the other wing. However I will concede the Phoenix 1 cycle requires a lot of luck 😂 Gilg needs to use Pinwheel instead of spatial rend and fortune telling (probably) needs to crit. The 2nd limit on Sephiroth wasn't a cheap save either. You can't use limit when you are in hitstun which means if I had just held block instead, block would have come out. Some of his combos have gaps like that.

[@godaddy9837]

@@aethertruck I have been trying to do bonds of friendship solo as zack, with no control over materia is the true challenge of this game, I was able to defeat phoenix, but need to work on my parry game for the enemies ahead. Precision block helps a lot, like I said no control over materia is the true challenge. I get you idea of the build and how you pulled it off. But I just can’t bring myself to do any solo until I have satisfied myself by doing zack solo bonds of friendship. I have completed solo Sephiroth to be a hero. I don’t even wanna solo any other challenge other than ones with zack and sephiroth, cause I know the rest are easy compared to these two, cause good materia set-up is 50% of the challenge, but with sephiroth and zack you work with what you get and I love that thrill.

[@aethertruck]

@@godaddy9837 yeah. Seph and Zack have some real appeal. Completely fresh characters with high skill ceilings and 10 round fights. The HP pools of those enemies are super inflated in those battles too. Not having precision defense focus is a major problem for me but they do have some decent materia and tools. It would take me a long time to get comfy with the strict parry timing but the hardest part would be fighting the regular non-boss enemies. I've spent so long fighting the summons that I know all the timings and the regular enemies would be a huge learning curve.🤣 I wish you good luck with Zach, he looks like the hardest of Seph/Zach by a huge margin.

[@godaddy9837]

@@aethertruck yeah I am not dying to summons its the normal enemies that mess up the entire run, I beat phoenix as zack in 3rd round only to be stomped by a enemy in round 4. They should give us a training mode to fight against all the enemies in the game or create custom challenges that way hardcore players like us can truly enjoy the game.

[@12345678abracadabra]

Yeah it's all calculated here, no rng. This guy's that good.
