7:27 I like how Sora does it. He doesn’t point his Keyblade to the sky to cast Tornado like Ven. He first actually spins the key around to build up some wind THEN he cast the attack. I like that. It add some personality. Sora does like spinning his keyblade in a good chunk of his animations I noticed. I think his the only character that does that in this series.

[@Lolbitdrangonmaster]

Neat.

[@aguywithgames3135]

Sadly due to the pace of the combat in DDD, Sora loses this.

[@DoxycDreamer]

We would’ve had our own version of Malenia if Data Roxas could utilize the healing capabilities of Faith. 😭

[@wholelottanuts]

Malenia is easy as f compared to the final boss of the DLC or any of the other main bosses in the DLC 💀

[@LDFeyre]

I'm data Roxas, blade of Xehanort! :D

[@D_Max_HS]

Real 💀

[@SuperfieldCrUn]

Fun fact! BBS's Deep Freeze is similar to CoM's Freeze because they're the same move. They're both called "Freeze" in Japanese (フリーズ Furīzu). Same goes for Deep Freeze in DDD. Additionally, Ventus' Faith has the same name as Holy in CoM, which is Holy (ホーリー Hōrī). In fact, all Holy, Pearl and Faith moves across the English versions are all just Holy, the localizers just didn't settle on Faith until Days.

[@taputrainer8463]

I feel like deep freeze is a reference to what Sora says when he uses blizzard in kh1

[@tyler5013]

For Terra I liked using Magnet Spiral after Mine Square to force the enemies into the bombs and I would finish off the survivors with Zantetsuken

[@noahdean9685]

Sora is the Doom Slayer of Kingdom hearts!

[@Jetterz1999]

0:17 I'm pretty sure there's a chart for melding online that tells you what every single combination creates, I ended up using that for my playthrough because I was exhausted of soft resetting

[@logansmith6342]

My favorite kingdom hearts battle system other than drives and keyblade transformations: commands This was so fun and a huge switchup compared to Kh1 and 2 I also love how you switch styles when you use certain commands, i remember getting the ice cream keyblade for the first time and getting the rythm mixer command style and ice cream, op af

[@rangedweevil6150]

I was able to beat the monstro mirage arena in less than a minute thanks to rhythm mixer, it is so good

[@bradtussey827]

the command deck system in BBS is a big portion on why it is my favorite KH game

[@drlatiin813]

Thanks for the guide king👌 this is one of my favorite KH games

[@zekrom403]

0:49 actually Dream drop distance had the soft reset option as well on the 3ds. I’m not sure about the remaster though

We are kingdom hearts fans you sacrificed being able to use that emoji. It's friendly fire ​@@AndrewSora23

[@SSJ_Lang]

So does KH1

[@arson_e.]

i'm definitely going back and crafting these moves; it just looks so fun to use

[@meliodas6942]

With tornado you can cheese the vanitas remnant fight i think. Its been a while since I've done it

[@michaellovegrove9467]

This will be helpful for when I attempt to take on mysterious figure with Terra…. Not keen

[@AlexxxMYLSince2013]

0:44 Kh 1 had it too at least in the ps2 versión i don't remember if its still present in the HD version

[@rextyson23]

Yes it’s on the hd version too.

[@jpmacadaeg2876]

Firaga and triple firaga are actually broken in BBS. Absolutely chess against the Iron imprisoner and its many forms since it causes it to be stunned after being hit by Firaga/triple firaga.

[@cmrobbins88]

My favorite move is Time Splicer, not because I think it’s the best, but because when I use it I shout the move like a gremlin-lizard guy from bit crunched fighting game. “How ‘bout some TIME SPLICAH?!!!”

[@007massey]

This was probably the single most enjoyable thing about BBS, and something I personally loved. Being able to utilize all these different commands just made combat arguably more fun in comparison to the other games, even KH2 - ignoring the obvious balance issues and overall feel. KH2 was by far more refined, and plenty fun, but having access to all the commands we do in BBS would take it to a whole new level.

[@Shaujox]

0:46 My friend accidentally performed a soft reset while playing KHI recently, so it could very well work for the whole HD collection. He was on the PS5, so I’m not sure if that’s a universal input, but it definitely brought him right to the title screen.

[@kevin13cabello]

I think kh1 and Bbs are the only games that let you soft reset but I'm not entirely sure if they changed that on the ps5 version and all the games let you reset now. (Oh and I forgot Ddd has a soft reset too)

[@Shaujox]

⁠@@kevin13cabelloAlright, so I just tested all the HD collections, Kingdom Hearts III, and Melody of Memory (all on the Xbox One), and these are my findings: 1) When inputting the soft reset buttons (L1+R1+START), they need only be tapped at once, not held. Otherwise, as far as I’m aware, this is the universal soft reset input across the games that have that function. 2) None of the cutscene movies (those being Re:coded, 358/2 Days, and χ Back Cover) have a soft reset feature. But really, why would they? 3) Every actually playable game in both HD collections has a soft reset function… with the lone exception of KHIIFM. I don’t know why this is, but I even tried holding the buttons and nothing happened. 4) Neither KHIII nor Melody of Memory have the feature, just like KHIIFM. It’s not as strange of a feature to be missing for these games, however, than it is for one singular game in a collection. 5) The window for soft-resetting begins once the save file is finished loading up, effectively meaning that you can jump back to the title screen while still on the title screen. 6) The only exception to the previous point I have found is during the loading screen with hints in A Fragmentary Passage. You can reset before and after, but not while the bar at the bottom of the screen is filling up. TL;DR: At least on the Xbox One, L1+R1+START can be pressed at once to soft-reset every Kingdom Hearts HD Collection game, except for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. (And the movies, for obvious reasons.)

[@knexell5894]

I always have Faith and Salvation on Ventus every time I play BBS, it's very satisfying if you're able to pull it off especially against bosses.

[@HexanTronic]

I would like to remind us all that Re:Coded also had some pretty fun and unique commands as well. Maybe it also deserves a look in a similar manner to this?

[@aguywithgames3135]

Hard to justify making a vid on a game that’s no longer kept alive as one. It’d be nice though.

[@HexanTronic]

@aguywithgames3135 That goes for Days too.

[@aguywithgames3135]

@@HexanTronic I was gonna mention it, but I felt it didn’t need to be said.

[@ness77777]

love seeing these. very well made and narrated. will definitely use these on a replay

[@domcarrasquillo2314]

Biggest thing to think about guys. Why only certain of them can use certain moves even though keyblade wielders are usually taught the same training. Remember how eraqus came out of terra in KH3 and the double innuendo and entendre in BBS when Xehanort is talking to terra in his heart fighting for it. Someone's in terra and someone's in ventus

[@ikaros2360]

I LOVED Zantetsuken. The amount of epic last hits i pulled with this man.

[@Mcnerd213]

Can we appreciate the fact that lingering will acknowledges the brokenness of thunder dash? It is one of the four abilities he uses from bbs.

[@kertuo]

Whenever I start a new game of BBS, I usually have my go-to command of Magnega and Thundaga so that I can farm more easily.

[@AzureKyle]

Fun fact, if you can get the timing right, you can easily beat the Vanitas Lingering Sentiment boss as Ven before he can even get off his first attack with that big ball of darkness by casting Tornado at the start of the fight, and then before he can recover, cast a second Tornado. IIRC, he should then be one hit away from being defeated. But the timing is tight, so it's difficult to pull off.

[@raymanfreak7739]

Man I've been grinding on this game for hours and really gotta get these commands. Only reason why I'm not doing it right now is because as I'm typing this, my Steam Deck just crashed and made me lose hours of progress, so I'm taking a break from trying to complete it. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@CocoHikari583]

There is an exploit with raging storm if you wiggle the analog stick left and right it deals damage on every frame, destroying bosses in seconds.

[@xDuuo.]

Thanks bro, I was recently thinking of replaying BBS been watching you for years. KH4 is gonna be crazy.

[@BrennySpain]

Ratchet and Clank Size Matters got announced for PlayStation Plus on July 16th! New video on it coming soon.

[@SavageMagic]

0:27 Thank you!!! Cause i was coming to wreck havoc!!!

[@Zegaexiron]

You can stun lock the lingering spirit boss to death with 2 tornadoes. Try it, it's fun.

[@knexell5894]

Yeah but if not timed right you're dead most of the time.

[@alexwroblewski9027]

Cynical, Jared, I love the current content. Been watching for years, I love the revamp you’ve created with your channel, just giving everything a good once-over and getting things up to date, you’re putting in solid work. Can’t wait for the next KH4 trailer, you know I’ll be watching your reaction first even after the trailer comes out, always TGJ first for new full trailers 💚 hope you’re doig well!

[@rolythekeykeeper1805]

Dodging the real name of magnet is one of the funniest things today

[@daz-4th882]

KH1, Re:CoM, DDD, and BBS aII have the soft reset option! though for them you have to hoId down _aII_ of the shouIder buttons and then Start (Options)

[@MichealGrimsun]

"it sends shivers through my nipples every time" BRUH IM DEAD 💀💀💀 Also, I have to say that I really appreciate you telling me the best commands. I am about to play through this game and it has some uniqueness that I've struggled with in the past (though in my first playthrough I did rely on Mega Flare for each character and basically just spammed that the whole time)

[@Petty_Vengeance]

Thank goodness for these kind of videos it's really annoying how bbs doesn't have a recipe book in game for commands, specially because there are those recipe items that barely do anything. Also, dumb question, do y'all think Roxas is at level 1 when we fight him in KH2? Since he was reset when he was sent inside the simulation and then just died. Like he got his memories back but did he get all the powers too or is he just using what he was born with.

[@gigablast4129]

time splicer was my favorite one,but surges helped me beat the secret boss

[@Roxas13XIII]

Tornado is how you cheese tf out of Vanitas Remnant. You can beat him in two uses of it.

[@Gatorboy5678]

Me replaying BBS right now: HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!?

[@ryozaki96]

Best BBS guide out there

[@skanker1772]

By far KH:BBS IS MY FAVORATE GAME NEXT TO 3 .. THE MAIN REASON YOU CAN SWITCH OUT BETWEEN CHARACTERS LIKE GTA 5 THEY HAVE TO BRING THAT BACK FOR KH4

[@Gkiss3955]

I like how 3D did this same concept, but a bit better. Things are shared between the two characters instead of needing to do everything three times. I do really love BbS, but I've also recently realized that it is extremely mini game heavy.

[@Inujake7]

The original PS2 release of Kingdom Hearts 1 had a soft reset but I think it might have been taken out of a HD remixes.

[@mirrors5067]

Kingdom hearts 1 has a soft reset. I use it when grinding special heartless

[@griffinguge1080]

Can't wait for this game to come out

[@ConnorStierman]

I personally always use Megaflare, because it's basically a Legalized Nuclear Bomb.

[@bananaslamma4813]

KH DDD for the 3ds also has a soft reset finger, which is quite similar, L + R + start (or select, i forgot which one). i lost an hour of progress in the world that never was because i somehow fat fingered all three buttons at once 😅

[@greenth-mac2550]

It was hard to make these commands, in my 2nd playthrough I was better with it. I'd say the strongest command is the one that allows to obtain Exp just by walking, right before the final battle I simply walked around for a long while to level up 🤣🤣

[@subb9011]

new command deck game with bbs leveling and melding with better stagger and polish would be kino

[@bowzofoshu6695]

Just so you know, all the nintendo releases should also have the same soft reset. That is definitely a handheld shortcut.

[@haseo2dingo]

I wish we get a true birth by sleep 2 game with the Wayfinder Trio soon

[@jamiehunt2306]

good guide bud

[@SavageMagic]

I haven't even watch the video yet but mega flare better be on this list like c'mon it's literally kills all the enemys on screen!!!

[@ghrtyeje]

How convenient that the Kingdom Hearts game where you have to guess to meld good attacks without the internet, is the one game in the collection that lets you soft reset lol!

[@onthedre]

Slightly off topic but if someone took the Re:coded commands and added them to BBS or KH3 I'd finally have a reason to play them again.

[@JSeedProductions]

Most KH games have a soft reset, I think KH2 is one of the few that doesn’t.

[@SSJ_Lang]

Every KH game except KH2 & 3 have the same soft reset I believe

[@MilchreisBlubbsir]

Bro, I mean you the expert But I am sure KH & KH II had the soft reset as well

[@Ali28656]

You know this Game has alot of cool Attacks that are fun to use but since You whould have to Go out of You're way to get them i sticked with commands like fire and get bored. If the command deck ever returns all the commands should be obtainable from a level up tree or something like that with the option to carry them to New Game Plus

I would like to correct the claim about BBS being the only KH game with a soft reset command as KH1 also has one. Hold down "L1", "L2", "R1", "R2", "Start", and "Select" and you'll be sent back to the title screen.
