Strongest Commands in Birth By Sleep & How to Make Them

[@sleepylmguy9968]

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. 😭

[@jarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-k1d]

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

[@TotallyCluelessGamer]

I wonder if its the same kind of issue Final Fantasy had back in the SNES days where people thought "Holy" might be considered religious symbolism and didn't want it in the English version of the game. That's the main reason that they called Holy by the names Fade, White and Pearl in 1, 4 and 6.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@2day4ever13]

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

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.

[@arson_e.]

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

[@noahdean9685]

Sora is the Doom Slayer of Kingdom hearts!

[@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?!!!”

[@alvinvalentino5797]

Also cuz it's one of the coolest move in this game

[@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

[@ikaros2360]

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

[@jaredtandle2596]

Soft reset is a square thing. Idk about every game but i know 1 and im sure 2 had it. You hold R1, L1, R2, L2, START and select. Final fantasy had it is where i learned about it first.

[@Altefkatr]

KH2 doesn't have a soft reset button combination in any version.

[@FineAut]

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)

[@FineAut]

⁠@@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.)

[@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!

[@shonenderp164]

Say what you will about this unbalanced game, but a lot was put into this

[@xDuuo.]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@lukelisan8094]

Salvation was actually very helpful in my first ventus run, i would never get hit while doing it so it gave me some good time to breathe agains vanitas while also dealing good damage

[@meliodas6942]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@oh_sweet]

Dark firaga is standing outside in the snow looking in on the party everyone else is having without it

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

[@thelemonbread777]

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

[@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.

[@baylaust]

Tornado isn't the greatest command, but it does have ONE notable use: it's one of the only ways to completely bypass the Vanitas Spirit's absurd defense. It requires very careful timing and isn't completely reliable, but if you hit him with Tornado and get him trapped inside of it, he won't break out, and about half of his life bar will be gone by the time the attack ends (assuming it's maxed out). Two Tornados and a couple of mines, and he's done.

[@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.

[@dailydelphox]

Y'know, most people just talk about Thunder Surge and Mine Square as "the best attacks in the game", but the fact you rapid fire so many different useful moves for 11 minutes shows that BBS has a LOT of really good moves, actually. Of course, the game is still an unbalanced mess, but more people should try experimenting beyond thunder surge and mine square. It's kinda fun looking at all the pretty competent alternatives and changing up how you fight different encounters. Alongside the plethora of commands, shotlocks, and combos being competent in damage alongside finishers, BBS does a good job giving you a lot of fun, broken things to play with.

[@SavageMagic]

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

[@LordEgilYGO]

Zettaflare mention obligates me to share the fun fact that in all Square RPGs that use final fantasy magic tiering, only two creatures have shown the ability to use zettaflare. Donald and one of Bravely Default's final bosses.

[@mirrors5067]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@chowmeower]

"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)

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 😅

[@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.

[@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 🤣🤣

[@ryozaki96]

[@ConnorStierman]

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

[@bowz_of_oshu]

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

[@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!

[@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)

The appeal of Command Deck systems to me is player expression, rather than the player's style being a product of the character's moveset you wound up with the character's moveset being a product of the player's style.
