Mad proud of you for the amount of traffic you've been getting on your channel these days. These no damage runs are fucking baller. By the way, what did you think about the Xigbar fight? And why do you cast heal sometimes? Does being in mp recharge allow situation command arrows to generate faster in the same way the drive form meter in KH2 restored quicker during this state?

I like how the arenas are so large, Xigbar is harder to hear when he's on the other side.

Once you learn this fight, it becomes a lot easier. I absolutely love how he shoots straight up to distract you then shoots his quick shots while the slower ones come at you. I can't tell you how many times I died cause I was too busy looking at the shots that went up and forgot he shoots again straight at you. Really shows how smart the bosses are with these fights.

[@ItsYaBoyFernie]

Exactly. A lot of these fight have these kind of bait mechanics and I love that because I know I didn't die because of some bullcrap reason but it truly was my own fault for falling for it. These fights felt near impossible when I first played them on crit lv49, but learning each and every fight and finally beating them feels like such a great reward. Especially Xigbar's fight, but then you get just an AP boost and then you feel like, 🙃.

That Showdown is sick these bossfights are so creative

[@lpfan4491]

I like the idea that this is what he canonically would have done if he really fought on full power. In his previous fights, he either held back or didn't take his opponent seriously enough to consider it a duel to the death. And it's believable too, since basically all of these moves are what he already used, just in a more overwhelming manner that is meant to mindgame his opponent into a loss.

[@TThatsWhatSheSaid1]

I for real have been on this dude for like 2 hours on critical mode, and the entire time I thought the ONLY chance to hit Xigbar is right after Showdown. Didn't once occur to me to airstep into him. THIS is why I watch KZbin tutorials. Thank you!

I can’t wait to see your xion fight

[@marcoa6319]

Codec Call parody: *Ienzo*: Here, we have Xi- *Terra*: Hm!? *Riku*: What is it Terra? *Terra*: I’ve fought that guy before back in Radiant Garden years ago when he captured Master Xehanort. *Ven*: Oh yeah! He was also there to fight Aqua when we all first went to the Keyblade Graveyard. *Aqua*: And that guy was also there for the second Keyblade War. *Ienzo*: Ah yes. Braig used to be one of Ansem the Wise’s apprentices and also a high ranking member of both Organizations as Xigbar. I think I remember him being very close to yo-I mean Xehanort. *Terra*:...So that fight we had was just a ruse for Xehanort to get my trust and for me to grow strong in darkness. (Sigh) Should’ve known better. *Ven*: You okay? *Terra*:He...kept mocking me for being weak and I...used to the darkness to accidentally shot his eye out. *Aqua*: 0__0!!!...Look, it wasn’t entirely your fault Terra. Xehanort played us all not just you. *Ven*: Yeah! Don’t feel too down on yourself. *Terra*: I’m still a little ashamed by it...but thanks. *Ienzo*: So that explains the eyepatch...Anyway, Braig later changed to Xigbar after becoming a Nobody. He has an affinity for Space which lets him teleport, change the arena, and even stand upside down in the air. *Riku*: Yeah, he always fires arrows with his two crossbows. He can be a bit easy or annoyingly difficult depending on timing the blocks. *Ienzo*: But remember that Xigbar has a few tricks up his sleeves. He can fire a few different ammo such as unblockable blue bolts. But once you deflect enough arrows at him, Xigbar might trigger a duel with you. Don’t move until he starts to shoot, then fire quick shots at him for massive damage. *Terra*: To think that man had close ties to Xehanort. Go get’em. *Riku*: Right. Let’s roll Sora! *Begin Data Battle*

[@Kyrovan1]

Xigbar ended up being the easiest boss for me as pretty much all of his attacks outside the DM could be blocked and those that couldn't were more easily identifiable and were in mostly separate attack strings

[@zachtemoro2116]

What about Luxord? All of his attacks could be blocked and if you time it correctly you can counter his four cards move. Everything else is just keeping an eye out for the cards on the ground

[@Netherman14TheHellblazer]

Xigbar didn't use any blue shots for your fight, why is that? Clarification: I was referring to unblockable blue shots.

[@Grown_B]

Phase Skip. He sets up the battle so that Xigbar does the same thing every time and practices the route. You can use this to skip entire phases sometimes

[@TimothyGod]

0:57 I've learned a decent damage chance here. Right as xigbar sends his shots through the portals, the second you block, you'll have enough time to fully charge a shotlock before he changes the backdrop to normal again

[@TheScientist408]

How do you cancel the air step animation so fast? Every time I try I still break into that slow flow motion attack which throws off my combo.

[@ricardogonzalezcastillo6932]

I think you have to unable the flow motion attack from your abilities, so that instead you attack normally.

[@ulrix_4466]

Disable Sonic flash skill or something like that, it prevents you from using that slow attack

Is the showdown part activated by doing something ?? When I beat him I didn’t get to do the showdown at all

The showdown only happened once in my fight with him, would rather it happen more often to make up for how big a pain he is to hit. Also not a fan of much his shots hurt sora compared to how little reflecting them hurts him

[@xXwapa98xDXx]

The thing that annoys the most is that attack he does when he screams "Think fast!" Where he shoots the big blue arrows that go in random directions, I always get hit and fuck everything up 😭 P.S. I do try shotlocking but sadly I am not perfect and sometimes miss. It makes me want to retry the whole thing entirely 😤

Lowkey favorite fight

[@Panicatthepanic]

Can someone explain to me what the hell I'm meant to do here? Sometimes during the donut ring his spread shot goes off despite me blocking it perfectly as normal, sometimes it gets cancelled. When it does go off, there's a 50% chance the shots will home in one me, so I block. Sometimes they don't, and the block ends before the projectiles hit me, so I git hit and die. When he's firing projectiles from the ceiling, there is literally no guaranteed safe way for me to get to him in time without a random chance of being sniped! Everything I do, everything I try - different airstep times, waiting until the end, blocking mid air during a combo - either I get sniped by a stray shot that followed me or he teleports away to do his next hit. What am I meant to do here?! And during his DM, when he sprays shots in a circle for the second time, I can't for the life of me consistently dodge it. I just can't. What's the trick? I've tried copying your timing perfectly. Doing a Pro codes run on Critical so every time Xigbar cheats, there's no guarantee Wizards Ruse will heal me :( Genuinely find this boss harder than Saix because of how stupid it is. I can do a no damage run against Saix with Pro Codes. This? Impossible...
