The (Almost) Shortcuts of Hollow Bastion
The environments in KH1 leave a lot open for the player to explore. It's possible we could even reach some areas early for some shortcuts. So let's go through and check out some places with potential for shortcuts in Hollow Bastion. I've learned about these over the years while playing around and looking for new speedrun routes.
I just realized I switched between calling them lifts and elevators throughout the video lol

The Easy Bosses of Kingdom Hearts
Переглядів 7 тис.3 місяці тому
A quick look through easy Kingdom Hearts boss fights. Sorry for the low energy, I had a long term cold when making this and rewatching a month after upload it’s super obvious to me now lol. On a first playthrough they all work well, but on replays you start to notice how easy some of them can be. These are some of the memorable ones to me. Twitter: elbow_juice Music: You Blow My Min...
"Bad" Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts
Переглядів 169 тис.5 місяців тому
I don't really think any of these are super bad, just wanted to talk about some keyblades that seem underpowered for when you get them.

Hidden Stats in Kingdom Hearts

There's a lot of stats that aren't directly given to the player in Kingdom Hearts 1. Here is an explanation on some of them. Thanks for watching! Notes/Corrections: 1. Lady Luck was missing from the recoil list, it has a stat of 1. 2. All critical hit deal bonus damage depending on the attack used (regular finisher, blitz, etc) but the keyblade can add to that bonus. The stats I showed were the...

Decisive Pumpkin, or specifically Combo Boost, is really strong. Highly recommend using. Thanks for watching! Notes/Corrections: - When I show the range of Combo Boost's bonus I forgot to account for negative combo, so I showed (1.3x).

    I have a problem with Ultima Weapon myself. Specifically in Days. To unlock it, you need to effectively 100% the game of all challenges. It's like "Thanks for slaying the last evil dragon in the world. There are no more dragons. To thank you, we'd like to award you with the Dragon Slayer Sword! It deals super high damage to dragons." I'm sitting here like "Thanks... this would have been useful when there was still something to use it on..."

    I genuinely thought KH3 Darkside's moves are performed as fast as in recom. Gotta say it packs a punch, so I can't say it's the easiest version of it since the actually easiest version is the KH1 at the end game. Vexen and Lexaeus in CoM GBA are pushovers, because their attacks don't pose an immediate threat and can be card broken just in time, and using Fire or Dark Mode just annihilates them.

    I wonder what would happen if you were able to poison Riku Ansem and exit the area as he's dying. If movement would be restricted the same frame he's knocked out then I wonder if there's any leeway in the game still registering DoT within a frame or so of exiting.

      Its super tight, but should still be in the game. I've never gotten it on PS3/4, but got it for the footage on the steam version. It seemed like going to 120fps made it easier, but I don't know what the reasoning for that would be.

    6:50 I already knew that the buttons don’t do anything. When I was looking up if it was possible to reach those buttons while I was playing that particular part, I saw someone who used glitches to get to the button and tried to interact with it but had the same result and were just stuck there. However, I also found out that you can lock on to the buttons that you can interact with, but not the ones that are normally unreachable, which I believe is further evidence that they’re just decorative, like you said, and never intended for the player to interact with them.

    I have 2 points that may help out in the Great Crest area... 1) If you could somehow activate the Heartless fight and make it back to the first platform, you could summon Dumbo, gain Height, then Glide. 2) I discovered a glitch a few years back in Halloweentown where you could infinitely jump (similar to the original PS2 Release in the Fallen Destiny Islands... The link to my video is here if you want to use it as reference for my point: ua-cam.com/video/pdKDplsO3ng/v-deo.html By discussing with one of my commentors I found that the reason you can infinitely jump is because there is a missing section in the Floor Hitbox, which means that the game can't properly calculate the distance between Sora's feet and the ground... thus cancelling the fall animation... if you could somehow use a mod to see the floor hitbox, you could find a lot of these hidden hotspots. I doubt they'd be in the Great Crest as there is space underneath the platform, but there could be one in the Riku 2 Boss Room somewhere, which could allow quick access to the top layer. I hope I was able to help you out, man

    I actually knew about the initial jump in Traverse Town but I didn't realize you could enter the shops without flagging the cutscene after doing it. It is really interesting that they have the generic NPC shopkeeper in place of Cid for that instance though, wonder why given you're not even supposed to be able to get there at that point and Cid is there directly after the cutscene.
