The animation viewer really helps with some of the attacks. I'm still absolutely blown away with the animation quality of LWs moveset, half of them have no right being so fluid considering how fast they happen
Terra when you fight him in KH2FM: A wide variety of devastating combos and attacks that fully utilise the keyblade's power. Terra when you play as him in BBS: thunder surge lol
You know it’s the same for master eraqus 🤔 it’s like their armor brings out the potential they could have or they have been their solo training dummies 😮
Personally, I consider the “Data Blocks” to be crystals or gems. There’s nothing in Terra’s BBS moveset or character arc that’s remotely related to computer data. Crystals at least would be consistent with Terra’s earth theme
If I remember right, he has an electricity related, though still physical, command in the tutorial fight against him. I've always associated him with Thunder and stuff because of that, and computers are electric.
At last, the Lingering Will. Good show, my dood. I appreciate you and the crew hard work getting this footage without succumbing to the PTSD of just looking at him from the wrong side of the fence.
Just a fun fact, the move where he dashes back and forth with the keyblade looks hella similar to Sora’s rising sun reaction command so I always called it that lmao
They had the keyblade transformations to such a precise and varied degree all the way back in 2FM, damn. So little has changed from that to formchanges, they just needed to stop hiding it behind particle effects.
I knew about his smooth animations and most of his moves but I did NOT know about his magnet and blizzard casts. This is the first time I ever seen those.
Very great analysis Bio. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think you missed the attack where the Lingering Will dissappears to summon drone like objects made of light to shoot at Sora. Also, I like to think the beginning keyblade combo during Lingering Will's desperate move is similar to Terra's Ars Solum attack in BBS.
If you want a guide, I recommend two of em First there's Sorallam1(I apologize if I misspelled that) 's guide to the whole fight There's also Everglow's definitive guide to the fight
Regarding Terra's Glider attack, it *is* possible for him to cast Blizzaga at high health; it happened to me once. I sadly don't have any video evidence (I wasn't recording at the time), but it is possible. It just involves a LOT of bad luck.
Theory time. I've been noticing that data cubes are really prevalent, combining that with Sora's first words in the series. What if, Kingdom Hearts is actually a game in universe. Think about it, Verum Rex is a video game in universe, but Yozora is as real as Sora is. There are many times where data cubes appear outside of simulations. And even Sora himself is questioning if everything he knows is real.
So you are saying it is basically the dataworld from the matrix? Because in that series, a common fantheory is that the real world is actually part of the data and the matrix is just a deeper layer.
@@lpfan4491 something like that, also now that I think about it. To enter Tron world, the crew's physical bodies are digitized. Sure, this happens in Digimon too, but different franchise. And there are multiple times when stuff just gets simulated to a scarily accurate degree (recoded for example). Spoiler alert. And even during KH3 dlc, what is one of the places that is used to find Sora? A simulation that is somehow supposed to have hidden data about where Sora could be?
i think i might know how the rare attacks might get triggered but im not 100%sure. when the fight starts lingering will wont use his full moveset instead he only uses a few of the attacks that were selected at random when the fight starts. the lower is hp is the more attacks he unlocks. i think the rare attacks might trigger if he unlocks the rider for example at around 50% hp. thats my theory anyways i could be wrong
I'm always gonna be annoyed Terra never got any of these as moves in BBS or as part of a moveset in KH3 for Terranort. I know its hard work, but Aqua and Terra shoulda got SOMETHING new. I woulda been happy if Aqua just did a Ghost Drive move and Terranort got his Dark Impulse stuff back.
The first time I saw him use magic I was so confused. I saw the Magnega and I was like “wait Donald can cast Magnega now?” then I saw Blizzagas shoot out of his bike and I was like “WAIT FUCK HE USES MAGIC?!?”
This and Yozora are my current favorites with 2fm data roxas and remind xion being close. So far yozora is the only one i have had difficulty getting a no hit run mostly due to how much tighter and subtle the openings are compared to lingering will's awkward moments of standing still indicating an opening.
"...and make it harder to see anything but pain." Bio, you're making this too damn realistic. Holy crap, HAHAHA. Also, I just wanna say that the intro of his DM looks like Trinity Limit to me. It's nice. Anyways, dang this is one good animation breakdown of the more-or-less true superboss of KH2. KUDOS, YET AGAIN!
The three airstikes are not only the only the only attack where he does not transform his keyblade but also the only one that sora can actually perform himself. I think the reactioncommand was called rising sun, but not entirely sure.
I'm doing my first playthrough of the Kingdom Hearts games since I was always an Xbox boy, 100%ing each game before moving on to the next. As much as I struggled with Lingering Will, I'd take this fight 10 times over before I'd fight the z Mysterious Figure as Terra again. Also, the music is fantastic. I'm so glad these games are finally on Xbox, they are so much fun and it feels like I'm on a grand adventure
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YESSSSSSS watching this makes me want Sora to use his Kingdom Key for transformations more and more but i know we wont get it cause we gotta have all them themed keyblades from specific worlds XD
I know that I'm late to make this and I think I made this similar comment before in the past. (0:25) Sliding Dash (0:50) Impetuous Whip (1:17) Ultima Cannon (1:52) Draining Arrow + Magnet (2:46) Drilling Thrust (3:11) Enchanting Curse (4:12) Keyblade Glider + Blizzard (4:44) Ars Solum (5:51) Plasmatic Drones
you actually got the names of the attacks? btw the Sliding Dash attack looks more like Rising Sun so I like to call it that instead, so as to not confuse it with one of Sora's combo hits
@@brianlam7879 in my bbs hd fm with terra I have the sliding dash and ars solem move (I haven’t unpicked ultima cannon yet, can you tell me any other lingering will moves I can aquire in kh bbs hd fm please?)
This is what would look like inside Terra’s heart during the KH3 Terranort fight: LW is diving into Terra’s Station of Awakening on the Keyblade Glider. LW fights Terra who is wielding No Name and uses Terranort’s moveset with some of his other commands. LW might fight the way in BBS. Then, LW would face 1000 heartless but with his KH2 moveset. The Guardian appears in the form of DDD second phase with Terra trapped inside. LW would use his desperation move to easily defeat it. Finally, Terra and the Gaurdian are in a Trinity position. LW is about to use his Ultima Cannon to destroy them but flashes to Ven and Aqua as well as seeing a vision of Riku as his successor which made him change his mind. LW decided that saving and reuniting with his friends instead of destroying his possessed self as a real way to set things right. LW heads towards Terra and the Guardian and all three performed Trinity which signals Terra’s return.
Some of his form changes are cool. Specially the one where it splits into 2 ( the blade looking like Axe ) and then merges again as spear. Some others looks like... they are stretching it... heh. Seriously the bow just feels weird. Also the cannon.
Yo, imagine being so pissed that your armor is possessed by that sheer rage alone and turns into a killing machine. Spoilers, it's not even possessed by his heart, because in KH3 we see that it's with Ansem SoD as his Heartless Stand thing. He was just that angry when the Lingering Will was born.
the Lingering Will is essentially Terra's "Nobody," as we know Nobodies are formed when someone with a strong will loses their heart to darkness and becomes a Heartless, their body then begins moving on its own, reanimated by their will, although Lingering Will formed from Terra's armor, not his body, the concept is the same, the shell left behind is reanimated by his will
They made him look like a beast in Kingdom Hearts 2 what happened in Birth by Sleep did they Nerf him or something it also would have been awesome if we got the lingering will Keyblade as a DLC keyblade just like oathkeeper and Oblivion it would have been really cool to add this move set to Sora
As someone who watches speedrunners play kh2 i am deeply sadden that you did not mention lingering will's punching attack being known as Mike terra's punchout But seriously keep up the good content and breakdowns
65firered I mean no doubt Terra is capable of wild shit, I just feel like on one hand yeah they went all out with this as a boss as opposed to what they could with the limitations of the psp, hell they couldn’t even animate the cape lol but hey if Terra is playable again anytime soon in a full on main console game? I expect it to be night and day from his bbs counterpart
Is square paying attention yes this was my assumption on key blade transformations pure honesty I didn’t like 99% of the kh3 transforms I only liked the ultimate weapon
I finally figured out why your name is Bio-Roxas! The "Bio" in your name is short for biology. You *study* on the attacks in the game, hence the "bio". Studying is what Xehanort did. And Xehanort became a *Nobody.* Roxas is a Nobody, which is why is in your name. Who are you? You're Xemnas! It's confirmed. Bio-Roxas is just Xemnas in disguise.
To be honest, I don't like this fight so much, I think it limits our resources a lot, we end up having to repeat the same thing without varying the techniques, he doesn't have very consistent openings and has attacks that you really need luck to not to be caught, when I finish this fight I don't feel like playing it again, it ends being more frustrating than fun, but this soundtrack is my favorite of a boss fight, and I'm fascinated with the animations.
Honestly this was your worst breakdown so far in my opinion. I like it better when you use just gameplay footage, even if it takes months to get the footage. Also you didn’t mention what’s able to block or not. Sorry but this was not a good one in my opinion man
I think I mentioned at the start that this wasn't a formal boss breakdown with openings and all that since so many people have made guides on this ^^ Sorry it disappointed though!
Bio-Roxas oh I guess I didn’t hear that part my bad. I apologize then, it didn’t disappoint as it did the job as you always do, just that it was worse than your usual ones. Although I guess I missed the part of you mentioning it isn’t a proper one so I’m sorry
The animation viewer really helps with some of the attacks. I'm still absolutely blown away with the animation quality of LWs moveset, half of them have no right being so fluid considering how fast they happen
You guys should check out this guy’s channel ^ he’s funny
@@BioRoxas stOP OH GOD
I never noticed that the end of Lingering Will’s desperation move looks like a Thunder Surge, truly one of his ultimate attacks.
they knew what the players were doing in that bs last fight vs xehanort
never knew how much the keyblade changed let alone how smooth it transforms. really interesting
The PTSD inducing boss is finally getting an analysis. He didn’t even fight him and ripped the animations so he didn’t have to go through the pain.
This game came out in 2007 ffs. My god the attention to detail is astonishing.
Terra when you fight him in KH2FM: A wide variety of devastating combos and attacks that fully utilise the keyblade's power.
Terra when you play as him in BBS: thunder surge lol
How else can you defeat Mysterious Figure on Lv. 1 Critical?
BbS should’ve been the PS3 KH game
5:46 lol
His DM has a thunder surge, to some extent
You know it’s the same for master eraqus 🤔 it’s like their armor brings out the potential they could have or they have been their solo training dummies 😮
Personally, I consider the “Data Blocks” to be crystals or gems. There’s nothing in Terra’s BBS moveset or character arc that’s remotely related to computer data. Crystals at least would be consistent with Terra’s earth theme

This fight is so fast-paced and stressful that I never even noticed these things; square did a crazy good job with LW's moveset
Gotta love how BBS let us use the Ulitma Cannon.
At last, the Lingering Will. Good show, my dood. I appreciate you and the crew hard work getting this footage without succumbing to the PTSD of just looking at him from the wrong side of the fence.
Just a fun fact, the move where he dashes back and forth with the keyblade looks hella similar to Sora’s rising sun reaction command so I always called it that lmao
It isn't similar. It's the actual rising sun
This is my favorite kingdom hearts super bosses, the setting, music and the fight are nearly perfect.
Anybody else notice Lingering Wills Keyblade formchanges either parallel or precede for what Keyblade changes Sora can use in KH3?
Wow, those raw animations are incredible. Great work getting access to those, bio!
Yeah it was thanks to KeytoTruth!! He's awesome ^^
They had the keyblade transformations to such a precise and varied degree all the way back in 2FM, damn. So little has changed from that to formchanges, they just needed to stop hiding it behind particle effects.
I knew about his smooth animations and most of his moves but I did NOT know about his magnet and blizzard casts. This is the first time I ever seen those.
The Horsemen of the apocalypse Fury version of KH, LW is one of my favorite/most stressful boss to battle and I'm glad u made a breakdown about it
Very great analysis Bio. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think you missed the attack where the Lingering Will dissappears to summon drone like objects made of light to shoot at Sora. Also, I like to think the beginning keyblade combo during Lingering Will's desperate move is similar to Terra's Ars Solum attack in BBS.
the magnet to draw you in only happens in last phase when he DMs if you dont loop his DM he can do attacks with magic.

*Soraalam1
god dammit I knew it
@@DrBepis-jo7qt at least you realized that you possibly made a mistake, and I'm not gonna lie I had a hard time remembering the proper spelling too
His punching attack is very similar to the dark impulse command style finisher, just switching darkness for "data" effects.
Ive been waiting for this forever.
When the armor has more personality then it's own owner.
new breakdown? LETS GO!
I could watch these animations forever man, they look so good :)
I've never seen him use the Magnet or Blizzard casts in all the times I've fought him.
It is incredibly rare. Like I didn't even get them to trigger xD
I’ve seen Blizzard a few times (it suuuuucks) and Magnet exactly once.
For some reason everytike i fought him he uses blizzard at least once, magnet i've never experienced though
I saw blizzard on the attempt that I snagged the W, but I've never seen gravity
Jeezus that animation after the gauntlet punching attack thing is so smooth and we never get to see it 😭
All of these transformations look really sick. I really love the bow, the gauntlet, and the spinning gear part of his desperation move.
How I've waited... for this moment.
Well done Bio-Roxas
Regarding Terra's Glider attack, it *is* possible for him to cast Blizzaga at high health; it happened to me once. I sadly don't have any video evidence (I wasn't recording at the time), but it is possible. It just involves a LOT of bad luck.

Well he did get the Ultima Cannon move as a shotlock in BBS but that’s it
I like to imagine that this is because Lingering Will has a capacity mixed with that of Eraqus, that's why it is so powerful
Really freaking cool! Love the video!
FINALY
-Xemnas
I hope we get more Formchanges in the future. However we don't know how the Foretellers fight so really anything can happen.
I love you're videos and channel dude just keep going
I never noticed that the command menu changed during the fight
The first time I saw him use magic I was so confused. I saw the Magnega and I was like “wait Donald can cast Magnega now?” then I saw Blizzagas shoot out of his bike and I was like “WAIT FUCK HE USES MAGIC?!?”
Bio-Roxas: *forgets that KH2 had Magnet, not Gravity*
me: *facepalm*
The man, the myth, the legend.
I've never realized how form changes were kind of happening in the games before KH3, never even thought to compare the boss attacks to them
This and Yozora are my current favorites with 2fm data roxas and remind xion being close. So far yozora is the only one i have had difficulty getting a no hit run mostly due to how much tighter and subtle the openings are compared to lingering will's awkward moments of standing still indicating an opening.

hmm, pillars of light, magic circles, slamming the keyblade into the ground, yup it checks out
Actually, thank you my friend. I’m trying to write an Avengers Infinity War crossover with KH3 and I really needed some attacks for Terra.
The three airstikes are not only the only the only attack where he does not transform his keyblade but also the only one that sora can actually perform himself. I think the reactioncommand was called rising sun, but not entirely sure.
yeah, that attack's actual name might not be Rising Sun but that's what players call it due to the resemblance
SO the freaking magnet is not a myth afterall.
Though I have only seen him using it on a bike.
He can hold the handle separately from the rest of his keyblade, after 15 years of watching this guy just what.
At 5:48 that reminds me of the surge attacks for bbs
Kim of surprised it’s taken you to do this sort of video? But this was really awesome though!
