Kingdom Hearts

When we created it, most of the regulars here were rather different from the regulars at the present.

the movie itself was kinda eh but i guess a world could be ok?

also regarding the western properties like tomb raider and deus ex some people (including me) suggested they could be included in a potential wreck-it-ralph world as sort of a meta-joke and replacement for videogame cameos from other companies.

I read about the books The Black Cauldron was based on; they were damn more interesting than the film, that's for sure.

... And other Squaresoft and Enix video game characters can make cameos there as well.

But none of them are arcade characters. How do you connect them all into one hub?

the movie had the dinosaur from meet the robinsons in it

so i really dont think it matters

The Light Cycle part of The Grid is BS.

yeah to me it doesn't really matter that much if they're not from arcades. Ruleof Cool and all, they could just show up in the world and nobody really has to say anything. if anything you can just show deus ex and tomb raider arcade machines :p

Sweet music, though.

I'm still hoping in vain for Aya Brea.

Yeah, Light Cycles can fuck off. Dodging the enemy trails is hard and I can't get to the boss Dream Eater (whose attacks are almost impossible to dodge, btw) without already being at less than half health, if not in the red.

And this is The Grid's opening sequence. What the hell.

Continuing the tradition, I guess.

Though Space Paranoids didn't lock you into a light cycle until the second half of your first visit.

Of course the attempt immediately after my bitch-fest is successful. With me getting to the Dream Eater while at full health this time.

Once again proving that griping on the internet is the path to success.

I defeated the Armour of the Master with Terra earlier. It took a while, but that was mainly due to his absurdly high defence and me playing it safe since he takes long breaks between attacks and is pretty easy to read, but is still quite intimidating despite that, so I was scared to go on the offensive and kept waiting for him to make the first move. I haven't unlocked him with Ven or Aqua yet, so I was wondering, does he have high defence with all three characters or does he emphasise different stats in each battle? I know he has different attacks with each character.

Fun fact, I found that the music from the battle syncs up surprisingly well with the Space Jam song, which I was listening to at the time. If I knew how to do editing and such, I'd try to do a proper mash-up video, just to make basketball puns. I can see it now:

• Kingdunk Courts: Birth by Slam - Armour of the MVP
  • Before Charles Terrarkley, Michael Jorven and Aquagic Johnson can become b-ball MV Ps, they must shoot some hoops with their coach, MVP Eraqobe Bryant!

More importantly, I've also found a really fast method of getting medals in the Mirage Arena. Put Mega Flare in the first slot of your deck, and fill the rest with mine commands, then challenge Monstro. When the battle begins, move towards the enemies and use Mega Flare to kill both waves and be taken outside. As soon as you have control, Monstro will be to your left, so hit the barrel on the starting platform over to him, then get on one of the smaller platforms and hit another barrel at him. The second barrel will stun Monstro, so get on his tongue and go nuts with the mines. You should be able to beat him before he recovers. If you don't have enough mines to fill your deck, you might be able to activate Rhythm Mixer with the mines you have (I had three in my deck) and use its limit break to defeat Monstro. This will end the battle in around 1 minute, handily beating the optional objective to win within 7 minutes and getting you 675 medals. Simply repeat until you have the desired amount.

Breaking boss fights is always fun.

Do the Surge commands still have invincibility frames in BBS Final Mix? It's the only reason I beat the Mysterious Figure in the American version.

I'm pretty sure they do, Thunder Surge spam is how I beat Mysterious Figure with Ven. I haven't beaten him with Terra or Aqua yet though.

They also made Mysterious Figure a little easier.

Mostly by toning down the whip move thing, apparently.

That Whip move was BS. Get hit and you're dead, unless you've very lucky and he decided to give you a frame to try and dodge after the hitstun (which I've done like once).

PFFFHAHAHA.

Oh man. Well, that illustrates how much stronger the data XIII are.

I went and challenged Sephiroth because I want Fenrir, and just absolutely destroyed him. Like, with basic combos and one use of Ragnarok. He didn't even get to use Heartless Angel or Meteorain. I guess being at level 90, using Negative Combo, and having Ultima weapon, really do make a difference in some areas.

i also recall reflect making quirk work of him, but the spell in general is very exploitable.

Oh god. Data Xaldin become an absolute bastard at low health. He starts leaning heavily on his invincible lance combo —> Lance dragon move, and starts heavily favoring the tactic of just teleporting into me with his wind barrier up instead of using Learnable moves. It might be even worse than Luxord's final minigame. Maybe.

On the less frustrating end, I realized that one of Xaldin's moves appears to be a reference to Freya from FFIX. Specifically, in reference to her move when tranced, where she uses Jump and throws spears while off screen.

That's not just a general reference to Dragoons and their Jumping? I haven't played IX, so I dunno how distinctive Freya's move is.

Plenty of Dragoons have Jump, but pretty much only Freya has a move where she rains down thrown spears while still in the air.

Specifically, I mean the move where Xaldin flies up and throws 1, then 2, then 3, 4, 5, and finally 6 spears before landing.

it's possible that it's a reference to freya (vivi is in the same game although the cameo itself was bleh), though i could also just see it being a coincidence.

Yeah, possibly.

His wind barrier may be a reference to Barabariccia from IV.

Amusingly, Kain would later steal his wind bullet move for Dissidia.
