One thing I will say I absolutely love about the first two Ansem fights is that it is made very clear that he is a researcher, not a fighter. He essentially relies on the guardian for all of his attacks, and watches in interest from a distance as you are pummeled to death.

[@taputrainer8463]

I do kind of wish he had more physical or magic attacks that didn’t rely on the guardian but it does make sense since he does control the heartless and the guardian is essentially one of the most powerful heartless since it’s Terra’s heartless. I also see Xemnas as the close combat type since he does have the lasers but his combat style far more relies on his lightsabers than Ansem does with the guardian. It’s kind of cool to think how they contrast each other in that regard

[@lpfan4491]

Fun Fact: There is a way to finish Ursula 2.0 without even fighting her. Have Sora swim around in a circle dodging attacks cause she'll aim at him while Donald and Goofy literally go berserk fighting her. It ends the battle pretty quickly and you still have 100% hp. Fun Fact: When fighting Dragon Maleficent, there is a part of the thorns you can actually stand on. You can pretty much finish her battle with ease up there. Just stand and deflect. Shoot magic when possible, but essentially you are deflecting while Donald and Goofy attack up close and personal. A similar tactic to fighting Big Ursula actually, just standing still instead of swimming around...

Man KH1 truly is an amazing game. I'm so glad I got to play it when younger so now it just gives me huge nostalgia.

To then fighting at top center of a castle after exploring worlds all by yourself. As a teen that blew my mind.

[@grayduck1904]

Great video as always! My personal favorite boss fight in KH1 and of all time is World of Chaos. I've always had a soft spot for giant bosses, and I feel as though this one is one of the best. The atmosphere and design of the boss are great, you are separated from your party members and have to slowly reunite with them throughout the fight, and all of the different phases have you destroying different parts of it so that you are slowly destroying it little by little. While I've certainly come to appreciate normal-sized bosses more and more in recent times, making both Final Xemnas from KH2 and Master Xehanort from KH3 come close to becoming my favorite boss, I think that World of Chaos will always be my favorite for these reasons. Plus, the World of Chaos literally blows up in a fiery explosion at the end, which is never seen in a Kingdom Hearts game again.

Oogie's first fight is my favorite in the game. And in regards to more trigger words we have " Nobody disrespects me, NOBODY!" and "Buzzsaw!" And I'm pretty sure he says something if you hit a button and don't get a chance to hit him too but I can't quite remember what.

It was "Nothing?" Then he laughs

Man that Ansem/riku fight was a tough one to defeat. I remember playing it a few years ago and not having any troubles. Strange how things change.

[@smackedpickle]

For context, this is not my first time playing KH1, though it's been at least a decade. I've been a KH2 stan from the moment they handed me a second Keyblade, so it's the only one ive played more than once before now. This is however, my first time: -Playing on Proud mode -Attempting to 100% the game -Beating Riku in the race(suck it edgelord) But I want to share my two favorite boss fight moments in this game. 1) Ansem 2's desperation move. I wouldn't even consider it gameplay, it's practically a controlled cutscene. Given that he's invincible during it and you have no option but to run a circle around the arena, it makes _your_ situation feel desperate, and him asking "what do you hope to accomplish?" while you are literally helpless, really adds to the gravity of not only the fight, but the situation at large. 2) And this might be my favorite just because of how mentally affecting it is, is Hades' rotisserie attack. I've never fought KH1 Hades until literally 2 days ago, and him busting out this move, literally melting your friends and smugly asking the only person left standing "hey, we having fun yet?" in such a subdued manner that says "I've done this before to similar results" just has me like *_chefs kiss_* in terms of character work.

The Oogie Boogie fight was cool

[@Mochitachi70]

Finally, someone else being completly fed up with the Clayton cutscene.

[@YungLeeson]

Dude the Clayton trigger words from Tarzan was the most relatable thing ever. Literally took me months to beat that fight as a kid

[@kseromore]

i have heard from a lot of people that giant ursula is hard. what i did since way back when the game released is just go behind her neck and spam attacks. did they fix it with FM? Cause that was the cheese of the cheese with that boss for me in vanilla KH

[@RegularPat]

I feel like I definitely used to just camp out behind her neck too but for some reason I only remember doing that on PS2. I kind of doubt they changed anything but I should go back in and look

[@KingdomHeartsFan-mu9cf]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks KH 1 is better than 2!

[@RegularPat]

We exist and we will be heard

[@arson_e.]

absolutely love your commentary on this video, had me laughing a bunch of times with how relatable you were 😭

[@KinamOfMyth]

XD Oh man that was a really good Clayton impression For me the most infamous non-skippable line was "Jiminy... I'm not gonna make it" because I knew nothing about equipping or level grinding as a kid.

[@Cross-chan]

"Clayton and Stealth Sneak was a roadblock boss for me as a kid" same dude you have NO idea when I was a little little kid I lost to them so many times and was all 'fine I'll level up as much as I can to learn strike raid' unaware I couldn't get it that way like in com or whatnot so I stayed on traverse town and level grinded all the way to level 40 or so I was set for pretty much the entire game and now ever since then I haven't lost to them two whatsoever

[@handsoaphandsoap]

Clayton was impossible for me as a kid, having barely played any video games before getting into KH and the circumstances of when you play it in the game (early game boss so you probably haven’t grasped the mechanics fully plus not getting Cure until after you beat Clayton) makes for a rough experience for a 7 year old me. I also remember I played KH on a tiny tube TV so I could barely see the Stealth Sneak when it went invisible lmao, ee oo oo-oo ah indeed.

Maleficent showing up with a pair of scissor swords and mechanical dragon wings instead of a cloak would be massive "oh shit" energy.

[@Greekeycoo]

Okay this video blew up and it makes me so happy for you! I keep rewatching your videos, they're so good and they totally scratch my itch for KH nostalgia! Keep it up!

[@RegularPat]

Thank you!!

[@linrue8515]

Do you think you'd do KH2 bosses? :o I love this style of content. Keep up the good work!

[@RegularPat]

I'm sure I will end up doing it eventually lol

[@LastGreatDen]

Oh god, I tried to get my friend into KH and he died like 15 times on Trickmaster, holding my tongue re:backseat gaming was so difficult. For reference this guy has 100% achievements in Dark Souls 1 & 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro

[@RegularPat]

Chalk it up to the Bizarre Room; even the most hardcore gamer gets their skills turned upside down

[@LastGreatDen]

@@RegularPat it was so fascinating/frustrating watching him almost exclusively use ground combos against both bosses and normal enemies, since I had been watching speedruns of KH1 for years before I got the chance to actually play the games.

[@RegularPat]

@@LastGreatDen I have forgotten that Sora was capable of grounded combos

[@BiggusNickus]

@@LastGreatDen I mean it makes sense for a person who plays that much DS to mainly use ground combo's. I reckon this was a whole new experience for him lol.

[@ftgwynn]

I farmed Hercules for experience in KH1 because of how basic he was. I enjoyed fighting cloud alone trying to practice block

[@Decepticommie]

"have you considered just shooting him in the fucking face?" KILLED me LMFAOOO its always the ones with under 100k subs that are the funniest

[@EliJakobable]

Using boss might be derived from the way that In Japan they use "boss" to describe the leader of a Yakuza. and it kind of goes hand in hand with video games having a format of "fighting through henchmen to reach the final 'boss'".

[@pn2294]

Westerners use it as well

Using Axel's "TWO!?" for #2 killed me.
