Kh2: Fighting Sephiroth at Level 50....... This was not good for my sanity...

[@Basketgang]

Ok, I really do appreciate all the advice everyone is giving me, but I fought him with the kingdom key because I wanted too. Also, I didn't know some abilities just shouldn't be used. Even so, I fought him this way because I wanted to. As for getting to where I can challenge him again is taking a bit because I gotta go through a new save since I didn't save before hand lol. 😅 so please bear with me while I work on that. Having a Job has made it difficult ngl, but I'm also playing through the new eldin ring dlc, which I plan to upload at some point. Anyway, Make sure to check out some of my other content. And subscribe if you end up liking it. Have fun and stay safe ya"ll.😊

[@_odd1ty]

lmao I really felt that "FUCK" at the end

[@Basketgang]

Ok, would everyone here want to see me fight him with all the feedback you've given me? At level 50 again? I'd have to replay that game again... better yet, I'll just upload the entire game when I do start again. Let me know if you all would be interested in seeing that.

[@calesthenics_noob]

It's been a while since I've watched a video where someone doesn't do some crazy combos to break the fight. Very refreshing

[@Basketgang]

I know not of the ways to break the game.

[@milklander847]

You can be happy that you had the limit form. It wasn't available on the PS2 version back then.

[@waldemarolszewski5734]

It was available on final mix version

[@adrianlinares6738]

But not available for the us version

[@jarodmhenderson]

just a reminder, you can knock Seph out of the sky when he's charging his heartless angel attack to negate it

[@Basketgang]

I never knew this....

[@masteraarron]

@@BasketgangYeah. Any attack can cancel the move entirely. Thunder, Strike Raid or Trinity Limit are perfect options if you're too far away. Also Reflect is a good spell to use against Sephiroth whenever he's surrounded by fire or when slashing towards you. Reflect is such a life saver and is overpowered as hell.

[@penetrantcathect]

​@@BasketgangYou can also reflect his flare attack which is dealing ALOT of damage.

[@craigsands2567]

​@@penetrantcathectum actually it's called Shadow Flare🤓(don't bully me for this please)

I've done this for my friends when they were having trouble, and they accused me of hacking.

[@xenosora6412]

Can't get anymore closer than that GG on the win it was epic

[@Basketgang]

Yup... I totally wasn't panicking......... lmao

[@SF99404]

Lesson 1: always make sure to level up your drive forms, cause when you do, you get their growth abilities like, High Jump (Valor), Slide Dash (Wisdom), Ariel Dodge (Master), Dodge Roll (Limit), Glide (Final). Lesson 2: Make sure to stock Up on Elixirs and Megalixirs

[@Frost_Glitch2.0]

It's impossible to exaggerate this, after seeing the lvl 1 run gamechamp3000 did, the importance of the drive forms and abilities can mean everything

[@n_zombi]

Kingdom Key looks is so good, I can understand. Good luck to your new data make. Fight!

[@agentdelphiki4709]

KINGDOM KEY KINGGGG

[@vanXtas]

So if you dont want to use any spell like reflect (arguably the best spell in the game) i'd say go for counterguard when you block his slashes as you cancel his combo and can keep going, dont combo him mid air as youre pretty vulnerable there and he will always recover after 2 combos, take off dodge slash...it's just bad you cant cancel the move, looks weird, deals low dmg, tends to whiff and leave you in a long animation that it will end with you dead, aerial dive is better than aerial spiral by a longshot and try to get/use aerial dodge and hit sephiroth when he charges the heartless angel, and after a zentetsuken use directly a limit as you cancel of the animation pretty quickly with that so you're not caught with your pants down EDIT: use the explosion finisher (if you want) as it's an amazing dmg move (which deals more dmg the more magic you have) but even if your magic isnt better it deals big dmg, and you could just keep these 2 finishers equipped and use finishing plus.

[@Urastinker]

Respectfully speaking, With all of the things you were lacking you did really well, very well actually!

[@JuhMall01]

Dodge slash? nooooooooooo

[@AbiRizky]

My thoughts exactly

[@Jords250]

for me it looks cool so it stays

[@Suuperwuuper]

Dodge slash only whiffs if you’re using the smallest keyblade in the game and purposefully trying to get it not to hit

[@ShiftShido]

​@@Suuperwuuperstill quite slow

[@115zombies935]

Yeah, it’s ineffective, slow, and looks lame. Always remove it.

[@Co_olImagination]

You should probably watch the peeps that do this at LVL 1 and take from them even if the scaling is different

[@jalenjohnson2740]

At 0:22, you can reflect here and sephiroth will stagger 👍🏾

[@Roxas2473]

I felt that victory as though I was playing it again.

[@shinobiowl2304]

Nice

[@disudemont]

I remember using curaga as he took me to 1hp to refresh health instead of blocking

[@writingforreason9376]

I think slapshot it she ability you want to take off it can cause combos to whiff

[@zfighters2705]

well that is exactly how i remember the fight but i'm pretty sure i fought atleast for 10 min everytime i got a good try

[@Basketgang]

If I get another comment about slapshot I'm gonna cry lol😅

[@onewhocanall]

You can attack Sephiroth before he uses his curse to drop you to 1 hit point and no magic points

[@agentdelphiki4709]

Ok you’re doing great but you can get the win if you take slapshot off and put the explosion finisher on. You got this guaranteed.

[@Basketgang]

I actually tried that in one of my runs. It didn't go too well.

[@agentdelphiki4709]

@@Basketgang what are the combat abilities you have equipped? Some of them could cancel each other out.

[@quiet-ndl3956]

@@agentdelphiki4709 I think the problem is that he isn't counting his hits and isn't following revenge value properly. You can tell because he isn't holding back his finishers. That's why he has problems with explosion

[@agentdelphiki4709]

@@quiet-ndl3956 yeah I rewatched and noticed, this is one of those fights that can go quick if you understand how Sephiroth will react. He’s easily staggered by hits and counters, blocking and following up with (cant remember the name of the ability but you smack them into the air after either a counter or a stun by pressing X/[]) then unleash hell doing the one two boop as I call it (hit hit pause reflect) rinse repeat, heartless angel use thunder, shadow flare dodge, shadow ball reflect. Come equipped with some mega ETHERS not megaelixers bc Sephiroth has a revenge multiplier for every full heal used. Heal when you slip, which shouldn’t be often. If you are still getting tripped up by his regular slashes my only advice is improve your combat skills, learn block timing. Hes no undying will.

[@quiet-ndl3956]

@@agentdelphiki4709 revenge multiplier?

[@nighthour6909]

0.5 seconds if u didn't press that triangle gg

[@Basketgang]

I hate it that you're right....

[@agentdelphiki4709]

Also heartless angel is easily countered by air dodge (master form ability) you should only need lvl 2 to make it work well enough other than that you’re golden 👍

[@masteraarron]

Or you could just easily use a Thunder to stop the move entirely.

[@WARLORD626]

I think you should have used Guardian Soul for the fight.

[@Ventus2077]

As much as I respect the effort to beat Sephrioth in this level, there were many critical points that could’ve been avoided to make this encounter 10 times better. First, you should’ve equipped Vicitinity Break and should’ve added Strike Raid and Ars Arcanum in your shortcuts rather than items. They could’ve saved you in many mistakes during the fight. Second, you should’ve leveled up Wisdom and Master Forms to unlock Quick Run and Ariel Dodge that would’ve helped you avoid the fire attack and meteor attack at the second half. Third, you’re spamming too much during the fight rather than focusing on his seconds of disappearing to anticipate his next move, it made you vulnerable to many of his attacks. You should try to know when is “enough” to do combo and stop to avoid over spamming and getting hit. Otherwise, nice job

[@GarrettParrot]

I think my record was level 42. It’s possible to beat him at around that level.

[@Visqous]

It’s possible at level 1…

[@acejumper1681]

And yet he wasn't actually trying.

[@Basketgang]

... 😕🫤😟☹️😰😖😭

[@BrotherShield]

You are Soo lucky this is final mix where fighting sep is easier, you would be dead fifty times over in KH2 for such a performance.

[@peterattilaradivojevics5645]

OK im confused. Is it a chalange run? If so whats with the healing and Kngdomkey over Sweet Memories? If not why do you have dodge slash on?

[@Basketgang]

It's pretty much a challenge run for myself, to be honest. But I also didn't know what any of the ability skills really did, so I've apparently been playing kingdom hearts all wrong for years, lol.

[@faeronix]

Level 47 original KH2 on ps2 was hellish. Never could beat him. On a later lvl 73 of my brother's that was way easier.

[@Basketgang]

It's funny because I never actually learned how 2's combat system worked. If I actually knew the mechanics. I probably would've done way better tbh

[@faeronix]

@@Basketgang I was way younger and I had came off of a streak of wins against sephiroth in kh1, I wanted to go against kh2 sephiroth, so I basically looked up a video and realized reflega was your best friend soooo. There was that. XD That and for whatever reason I didn't like using Decisive Pumpkin, instead using oblivion (which i didn't know hindered me at the time.)

[@Basketgang]

@@faeronix I literally fought him on a whim, while I didn't know that there was actual moves you shouldn't use *COUGH COUGH* SLAPSHOT *COUGH COUGH* I wanted to beat him with the kingdom Key just because I felt like it. That being said, I really do appreciate everyone's feedback.

[@faeronix]

@@Basketgang Slapshot and especially limit form being crutches.

[@_siegemcsheen_9401]

Beats Sephiroth. All the comments are about how he could’ve done it better.

[@MadeForD]

forget aerial dodge. dont you have high jump lvl 2 at least?

[@craigsands2567]

I beat him 3 levels weaker. Yea I found it annoying and wanted to throw my controller against a wall but I also found it kinda fun. Sephiroth is more fun to fight than the data org imo

[@milklander847]

No reflect?

[@felipecoelho7337]

What is Cloud doing?

[@Dtibs82]

Only level 50.. u need to beat him at a way lover level ..I did

[@Crawzee]

Good job now beat him at lvl 1😊

[@alexw4482]

Please take off dodge slash. It’s extremely slow, deals low damage, and sephiroth recovers so quickly that when it whiffs (which is all the time) he can kill you. Slapshot is solid with a longer keyblade but with kingdom key it’ll whiff frequently as well. (Edit) Also Arial dive is better than Arial sweep.

[@MattGallagherComposer]

Yeah but it looks cool. Also the whiffing is a grossly overrepresented issue among the fandom, like Donald "not healing." Let people play how they want to play. I'll give you Aerial Dive over Aerial Sweep, tho.

[@vanXtas]

​@@MattGallagherComposerits not overrepresented, it's a bad ability that looks weird, not cool and its just worse in every single way as you can't cancel out of it, try using this against terra or any data and if they recover mid combo its gg

[@Dtibs82]

Be a real man and fight him at level 1

[@Azureknight378]

Do a no hit run at lv 10 Jk dont thats a fate noone should e dure

- equip decisive pumpkin - unequip dodge slash - equip retaliating slash when he launches you to the air - use reflect when he uses his orb attack - use high jump and ariel dodge to interupt his heartless angel attack _Good luck_
