@@thesnoms1492 I'm trying to remember when Riku lost to Roxas. Riku beat him unconscious, then dropped the Keyblade and turned his back. Roxas woke up and took the Keyblade, using 2 of them against an unarmed Riku. Riku blocked with his arm, which hurt him. Roxas was gonna go on the offensive again, but Riku tapped into the full power of the Darkness inside of him and squeezed the consciousness out of Roxas, making him drop his Keyblades and having them disappear.
There is a way to loop him so he only does 2 attacks (it even skips his dm the strat is like the one in the video). I believe you have to unequip all combo+ and only do 1 finisher per combo or something. The fight gets really easy with this loop once you learn how to deal with the 2 attacks he does during that. It's actually how I beat him on my critical lvl 1 run.
Its not that hard in Critical, but LV1 i can see being difficult seeing as most of my strategy would be inaccessible, but i admit he does make this look easy
My 8 year old brother saw me doing the data fights on KH3 on critical. He told me that he wanted to play all of the Kingdom Hearts games. So me and him have gone through KH1, CoM, and just barely finished KH2. He has beat every boss by himself and he beat roxas without once more or second chance because he picked the sword at the beginning. He was at level 40 on beginner, but still. I thought it was a massive achievement.
@@HummingbirdSaltalamachia actually, idk, maybe I shouldn't use it lol but. What I'm referring to is, he's really good because he's like younger than you. Like the younger they are the stronger they get, smthn like that. I'm just joking around that since he's younger he has some kind of strength. :D
I always get sad at this part. Also, you were impressive as always. You are one of my favourite Kingdom Hearts YT, I hope you allways be as good as you are now, I really enjoy watching your vids.
I can defeat roxas without hitting him, abilities, magic, drive, damage, summons, items, armor, accessories, and with sweet memories. On kh2 vanilla, you only get a cutscene of roxas' defeat
It's funny you have to clarify this because in Europe (I don't know for the US) we had to wait until 2.5 to finally get our hands on KH2 Final Mix + and the Roxas fight, so most of us remember quite well we only had a cutscene back then 😅 I have to admit I hadn't expected such a brutal fight
Dude me and my cousin struggled so hard with this fight, it took like 3 days of nonstop fighting and learning when Roxas attacks until we finally beat him, on normal mode
This goes without saying, I'm sure... dude dont worry about those dislikes , I've been playing through kingdom hearts for the first time in my life, and everytime I get stuck on a boss I come to you.. I have not used the "no exp"ability, but my first playthrough of KH1 was the final mix on proud, and I'm on "the world that never was" right now in kh2 final mix, on the roxas fight, and sometimes all it takes to beat a boss, is to approach it differently... insanity is repeating the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome, hence the rage induction players experience. But you show me little tricks, you're obviously very passionate about kingdom hearts, you've got the rhythm down. Thank you for all of these videos.
@@WillJV2 I wish I had more words, but I just finished #2, I'm gonna have to get some of the extras but I got all I could pre-ending. I'm sure I'll be commenting under another boss battle soon, thank you again
That was really awesome to watch really great. What I have had difficulty with is when he shoots those annoying air bubbles that are damn hard to avoid!
I feel bad for Roxas because he had been through a lot just to meet Sora. Roxas betrayed the organization just to meet him.I guess he fought Sora because he was tired of hearing things involving him and he wanted to see what makes Sora so special.In a way,I can understand.If I was a Nobody of someone,I would feel the same
@@beepbooper5201that's been disproven numerous times, Saix admits in KH3 he was jealous of Axel's friendship with Roxas and Axel feels sorrow for Roxas leaving the Organization. That's not including characters getting angry or showing other types of emotions
If I may ask, the cutscene after roxas loses and Roxas and Axel are on the clocktower, is that in the past? Or is that axel/Roxas meeting up in some kind of spirit connection before Roxas fades?
This fight is making me have an existential crisis . I guess I just really suck I’m currently at lvl 40 on crit I mange to get him to his last bar then he fucks me over . I can’t say it’s fun
Watch Bizkit047’s data org guide. He pretty much covered the basic strategies for each fight. I could add some extra stuff for each fight but his video is still helpful for people struggling with them.
I like the video,as usual Will,but I prefer my tactic I had used before.Probably because I'm at least a bit Biased as to the fact it's not only my first tactic but also the fact of it being my first and only tactic to use Revenge Value (and if you wonder why I don't use Revenge Value in other tactics it's because I don't know A:how to use it properly,or B:how it even works).Anyway great video as always Will
I only know of revenge value in the opponents advantage. If you do a certain amount of finishing combos, the opponent will react and change his/her movesets to make it harder on you. Though I only know Terra to REALLY be the guy who will abuse that method show you get to much combos on him
Its important because if you know how many "finish" combos it takes to trigger an enemy's counterattack, you use it to your advantage to stop before releasing the final "finish" combo and it will lock them in the same combos for a repeat
I am simply amazed. I've watched so many videos of this fight and this one just blew me away. I am playing at beginner and don't know how to do all that you are doing. But then I just picked up video gaming again after 30 yrs on a PS5 which I got as a retirement gift, so not as dexterous as all you young veterans out there. Appreciate your video. Could you please tell me with the KK blade what abilities you are using and what abilities you have unequipped. I have watched your video at slow speed several times and I understand the concept of attacking 2-3 times and drawing back before Roxas retaliates. I get hit badly in the first move and have to use Reflect but I don't see you using that. I am just not getting what moves you are using when you attack. I have Decisive Pumpkin and I am at level 54, strength 42, Magic 36, Def 41, HP 100, MP 110, AP 81, all drive forms (don't have Final obviously) at level 6 (max I can get at present). Thanks so much.
@@APY-fh8ek It's not that the health bar is half depleted but that the first hp bar is half the size, that's why it's grayed out instead of half empty,
What’s the reliable way to not get the attack where he jumps into the air and spins down on you? I can deal with everything else, but that attack breaks the pattern and I’ll get killed during the transition.
How'd you make him die so good? What a pro. I gotta get to that level one day. Maybe not. I don't have the patience for all the grinding. I liked how you could cheat on PC on PCSX2. Anyway, thanks for posting this. I appreciated the watch.
I'm having trouble with phase 2, I can dodge the dm but I have a real hard time dealing with the OO Wave, he keeps starting it on top of me and I always take a hit when I use dodge-roll. This vid may help me deal with the dodge roll timing by just slide-dashing in but I still get unlucky on his little light-warp
@@WillJV2 is there a safe way to dodge during his DM? I like your way because avoids it completely, but I just can't get a solid IF to try to lock him on that pattern
If you aren't the right level for this you will fail. Currently level 42, and every vid I have seen of people beating this boss clearly have more abilities and me. I would kill to swap out my parry for a dash dark souls style.
WTF...I'm playing kh2 on android now and when i'll reach to roxas Battle, I'll try It myself... This, on critical, seems like nothing. Seems like you didnt give roxas amy chance of attack; more or less, you Just spammed attack combo and dodged his limits attacks. Its not like you made It look Easy, It IS easy! But maybe I'm wrong.
Make it look so easy. How come he didnt rush into the middle, float up, swing his blades aruond and start firing balls? Its at about half health and scripted for me, happens every time.
@@WillJV2 Right after posting this, after hours of failing (hence looking up these fights), i switched to the pumpkin keyblade and killed him in 3 or 4 combos. It happened so quick it completely caught me by surprise. Id even forgot to put in Reflega after coming back from levelling my forms a bit, thought to myself "i need to put that back in for next try" and then didnt need to :D
you don't understand how the game works if that's what you think. Clearly didn't level up at the end of the fight lmao. 1. it's literally not possible to level up from boss fights in the game. 2. You gain bonuses and abilities from winning certain fights.

sora cannot tell the difference between a stranger and his lifelong best friends voice
You honestly make these look so easy :D Nice video, man!
Dude after Sora slashes Roxas and the flute comes in, the tears won’t stop after.
oh man that aerial dodge out of the counter is so smooth i love it
The aerial dodging to block Roxas's aerial attack is one of the coolest things I've seen people do
That was really awesome to watch really great. What I have had difficulty with is when he shoots those annoying air bubbles that are damn hard to avoid!
Sooo glad they brought this to America I'm 27 now and still loving it
this man can beat Lingering will blindfolded

This brings more emotion to the cutscene since you get to fight him

There 2 type of players.
The normal one.
and that who mastered ultra instinct.

Agent Technaid thx this helped
I beated the whole thing of KH2 and it took me so long to beat Roxas and final form xemnas!
This fight is making me have an existential crisis . I guess I just really suck I’m currently at lvl 40 on crit I mange to get him to his last bar then he fucks me over . I can’t say it’s fun

Reflect a lot and use Duck Flare and you'll be solid. Took me like 10 tries to get it down
So the devs though let’s add a ridiculous difficulty spike in FM……
So dumb. Ruined the game for me because I can’t even beat it.
Btw the next step is to beat the game with these rules ( aside from no rc ) and no abilities
Of course you don't have to deal with his bullshit buzzsaw attack....
