[@TheReturnersHideout]

I can’t like this comment anymore! This is fantastic! Thank you!

[@CD-Gaming]

Of course, naturally, I HAD to do it in my Let's Play! It's the done thing! HC Bailey did it in his!

[@Onotosho]

Be sure to level up magic stat when leveling sabin, despite being monk, his blitz are mostly magic based. Including his ultimate blitz

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Ah yes, I meant to put that in the leveling section. Thanks for catching that, Onotosho!

[@mindlessmeat4055]

I learned this only during the pixel remaster since the prompts go away if you input them correctly.

[@jarodivey9033]

I'm gearing up to play the pixel remaster, so I'm jazzed to learn this trick. However, I am NOT happy that I didn't have this knowledge in 1995. 😂

[@TheReturnersHideout]

If only there was KZbin in '95 lol. But I'm glad I could help in some way! Good luck on your playthrough and let me know how it goes!

[@dansmith1661]

I got the inspiration from a dream in 94. I immediately woke up and turned on the console to test it out.

[@CD-Gaming]

I am going to be trying it out in my Anniversary Let's Play! It does work on the GBA Version, right? How about the PlayStation Version...?

[@short0811]

Some of you never played Street Fighter and it shows. (Also thanks for helping people out!)

[@TheReturnersHideout]

I always thought it was really funny that Sabin's hair is essentially the same as Guile's and has nearly the same inputs as Ryu's Hadouken. Sneaky, Square.

[@0Fyrebrand0]

I played plenty of Street Fighter, I was just bad at it, lol. Actually I got pretty consistent when it came to Fireball or Dragon Punch motions... but Zangief's Spinning Pile Driver? Forget about it, I could only do it like 10% of the time, and that's if the opponent was just standing still.

[@0Fyrebrand0]

WHAAAAAT!!!??? How is this the first time I'm hearing about this trick??? Amazing advice, thankyou for uploading this.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Of course! And, I must say, the first word in your comment combined with your Terra profile photo was far too perfect! Thanks for watching and commenting, Fyrebrand!

[@ry2950]

Awesome video. I remember as a kid emulating the old NES version, and could never figure out how to use Blitz against Vargas. I eventually just overleveled then beat him traditionally which took a long time, and made the world of balance too easy. So glad to have access to the Pixel Remasters where I was able to replay the games at an appropriate level. It was a completely different experience.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Yeah that must have taken forever! The pixel remasters are such a solid way to experience the first 6 games again, I absolutely love them. Thanks for watching and commenting, Ry! Good to hear from you!

[@ry2950]

Always a pleasure! Early congrats on nearly 3K subs. Looking forward to the next video.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Thanks so much man! This year my goal is to hit 10k subs, it’s a bit lofty but I think I can do it!

[@nameforcomments4092]

Grinding until you could inflict 11,600 HP damage in under a minute (to beat the Doom timer) at that point in the game, to avoid pressing Left, Right, Left? I won’t say you didn’t do it, but I’m going to assume you never saved Lucca’s mom in Chrono Trigger, because that requires pressing 4 buttons and can’t be circumvented with levels.

[@ry2950]

@@nameforcomments4092 It was through emulation so there was a speed up button that significantly reduced the time to grind. The problem I had was being a simple minded adolescent couldn't figure out how to make Blitz work since the NES version doesn't give a menu or pop up screen showing inputs so I just assumed it was bugged/glitched. I completely understand why you would call it out though, and I assure you that I never did that again after I finally figured out what I was doing wrong at a later part of the game. You did assume correctly for Chrono Trigger because I never got to that scene in that game, but I definitely want to dive into it in the near future.

[@RPGtourguide]

Learning this was such a lifesaver in the game! No more “hoping” that Sabin’s blitz accepts your diagonal inputs - Slap a Hero Ring on and get to blitzin’! 😉

[@Matthew8347-l7r]

I've always been so terrible at any game that requires button combos, which includes fighting games so Sabin was always an underutilized character for me so I just spammed pummel the entire game. The pixel remaster has breathed new life into the character for me!

[@TheReturnersHideout]

I'm so glad! Sabin is a super powerful character, and if my playthroughs weren't so magic-reliant, I'd use him before anyone else (probably - don't quote me on that lol). Thanks so much for watching and commenting, and dude it's super good to hear from you!

[@MrEvilbyte]

Dinosaur Forest is overrated for EXP in the World of Ruin. It would be the best EXP spot if you consistently got 2x Tyrannosaur encounters, but you don't. Instead, I train just outside the forest, and beat up the TumbleWeeds. They always come in packs of 4, give like 80% of the EXP of a 2x Tyrannosaur encounter, are way easier to kill, and are way less dangerous. You can even cast Vanish on your party, and they can't damage you at all (unless you leave 1 Tumbleweed alive and hit it for non lethal damage). Tumbleweeds are vulnerable to Fire.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

That’s another really super good spot, but I’ve personally always had better results from a time vs exp-earned standpoint. Just take a single character with Genji Glove and Master’s Scroll/Offering and I let it essentially play itself! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, MrEvilbyte!

[@veghesther3204]

And their like lv 50 or so enemies so lv 5 death kills the Tumbleweeds instantly and so can Banish/X zone to kill them all at once.

[@CD-Gaming]

I use that desert area with the Worms and Cactuars! You get a sizeable chunk of Exp., especially with one Party Member (that's what I used to do), the Worms dish out 5 AP, the Cactuars 10 AP and both drop a whopping 10,000 Gil! Relm could take out the Worms in a Dualcast Blizzara & Blizard and, I forget how I managed it, but their Sandstorm counterattack did 0 Damage to her! Plus, on the GBA and iOS Version, you can get the Cactuar Esper, which is INDESPENSIBLE for a trick I'm going to be abusing in my Let's Play, although, I'm saving it for the endgame and prep for Dragon's Den!

[@LockeCousland]

Now even you, yes you, can Blitz the competition

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Oh Locke’s got jokes! Well done, very clever!

[@LockeCousland]

@@TheReturnersHideout sometimes I do. They are hit or miss....

[@mindlessmeat4055]

Funny thing about that intangir, you can get it in the enemies gau can jump without beating it. In my recent play through I haven't killed it but I have fought him in the plains. I ran away from him at one point or maybe I forced him to run away, I don't recall.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Oh strange! I wonder if that works with any enemy and Gau's rages... I'll have to test that out! Thank you!

[@mindlessmeat4055]

@@TheReturnersHideout I wanted to complete the bestiary on that play through but wasn't powerful enough to beat him so when I saw him on the veldt I just continued the story.

[@franimal86]

Once an enemy formation is encountered (it does not have to be defeated), it will show up on the Veldt

[@veghesther3204]

Correct and Locke for his scenario Before I had Celes join at lv 50+ can DIE against the MISSABLE enemies during his scenario you won't get a game over if Locke dies then but it will add the enemies that killed him to the Veldt as well.

[@NationalistAF]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Same to you! Thank you so much!

[@jaydarke]

The diagonal inputs can be two variants. I.e Aura bolt can be down down left. Or down left left. I figured that out as a kid too. Cause rolling my thumb suuuuuuuucked. For Bum Rush, I have my fave variant so memorized, that I mimic it on the d pad during other games loading screens. Will never forget. 😂

[@TheReturnersHideout]

L,L,U,U,R,R,D,D,L?

[@MidnightWonko]

While the Dinosaur Forest is the best place to farm experience, the plains just outside the forest aren't so bad, themselves. Intangir can be beaten by having someone cast Stop on it, then everyone going ham on it. If it cannot be defeated in time, it will cast Meteo, then make itself go back to "Sleep." Since Meteo does insane damage, and this is before one can acquire the Phoenix Magicite, it is wise to take Gau along with you and have him use the Destroyer Rage, as the special ability this Rage uses is none other than Reraise. Destroyers, of course, must be defeated in the Magitek Research Facility before they will appear on the Veldt.

[@veghesther3204]

If you can't DOOM/Rhodox rage intangirs I needed Sabins Phantom Rush blitz lv 70 + in order to damage even IT by more then 500 HP even the Atma/Ultima weapon sword won't HIT it for 9999 per hit at lvs BELOW 80.

[@jarodivey9033]

Great experience farming in the area around Miranda in WoR as well.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

In ye olden days, I always took down Intangir with Demi. It doesn’t work in the Pixel Remasters, but your Strat makes a ton of sense. I’ll give it a shot and see how it pans out! Thanks so much!

[@tskophield9230]

I loved Sabin! He was one of my favourites! But I never knew that most of his Blitz’s were magic based. I always leveled his Strength only until I got to the point where his normal attack did just as much damage anyways…

[@TheReturnersHideout]

He's a strengthy boi! My setup is typically Terra, Celes, Mog, and Gogo - with Gogo having magic abilities in conjunction with Blitz. Bum Rush is no joke! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Good to hear from you!

[@tskophield9230]

My preferred line up was Locke, Sabin, Celes and either Gau or Mog depending on where and what situation. Happy New year!

[@Nebocsid]

I do the Lete River cycle pre floating continent with Bismark and Zoneseek equipped on who I want as my physical attackers and magic users accordingly. Get Sabin's vigor up enough, equip him with a Genji Glover and offering, and you're approaching 7000-8000 a turn.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

He's such a powerhouse that I discovered far too late in my FF6 journey. Same with ... most of the characters it turns out lol. I've never thought about going back to the Lete River before the Floating Continent, but I do imagine it's fairly solid and not a whole lot of effort is needed on the player's part!

[@Nebocsid]

@@TheReturnersHideout This is more of an old school trick, as a turbo controller was the optimal way to go about. Definitely made it less grindy if you had other things to do. Black belt and cure ring to ensure long term survival. You could let your game run a couple hours while doing other stuff then swap out the 2 team members until you hit your desired level.

[@veghesther3204]

About that nearly EVERYTHING only uses Physical hits so if you want to go back BEFORE Phantom is summonable Celes MUST FIRST JOIN AT LV 48 so that she joins WITH Vanish usable since Gau's Rage is NOT reliable to use the spell that way on the entire party since its still a Single target spell one where the Rage is just not reliable.

[@hvargas1980]

I did not know about that trick about Sabin blitz technique. I just always struggled and thought it was part of the challenge. Thank you now I know.Lol

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Struggle no more, dear Vargas! Good to hear from you, my friend! Thanks so much!

[@JS-kh5ls]

Blitz techniques are just street fighter moves. I used to always change Sabins name to Guile. You gotta roll the diagonals, from down to left, not down, pause, down + left, pause, left, no its just a fireball, or a spinning kick, or an upper cut etc...

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

Good to know. Since I don't have the Pixel Perfect remake (yet), let me ask: if you're already decent at Street Fighter-style command inputs, do I need to worry about this trick?

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Eh I would just experiment with whatever method works best! Do you *need* to worry about it? Probably not, but if you do have problems with Sabin’s Blitz inputs, this method definitely helps a lot! Hadouken!

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

@@TheReturnersHideoutJust because I find it funny: I remember struggling with the first one, back when FF6 was new(ish) and I was borrowing it from a friend. I think that might have been 4th Grade me not understanding the mechanic properly. Ironically, it might be the direction "tapping" moves that were more difficult for me, as opposed to the "rolling" motions. XD *Someday,* I'll play FF6 again and remember to try this out. Just too scared to right now because 1) Got some other new games I want to play 2) I go full munchkin with FF6, making it a *massive* time sink.

[@nathanmarshall745]

It turns out leveling up before you get espers only increases hp/mp and learning moves/spells with certsin characters

[@shalifi7774]

I never knew this. 😂😢Bum rush. Now phantom rush was annoying to do. Good to know for sure

[@TheReturnersHideout]

This technique will make it WAY easier! Try it out and let me know if it works for you! Thanks so much!

[@mikeratkiewicz6720]

Dino forest is not the best place to level up in the game. The forest to the west of Miranda. Cast phantom before hand and your gold and xp will go through the roof.

[@veghesther3204]

Well ALMOST the IOS/Android PORT of the game boy advanced game this trick is the only version of the game it doesn't work on Also the GBA doesn't have a L2/R2 button so Sabins lv 24 healing blitz in that version used a different button setup the PIXEL remaster kept most of the SNES buttons needed to use them.

[@TheReturnersHideout]

Oh snap! I'll have to dig out the old GBA port and test it! I seem to remember it working, but I will absolutely check and get back to you on that! As far as the iOS and Android - I'll trust your word on that as I don't have FF6 for those lol. Thanks so much!

[@veghesther3204]

It DOES work on the GBA version but NOT on the IOS/Android version its just that the IOS/Android versions DOES have the GBA versions content IN it.

[@ryu9933]

First to comment yay. I have never tried the easy blitz thing. I just see the command and do as it says and never had troubles with it. I'm going to have to go and try it sometime
