Those reaction commands make Sora seem like such a confident freaking badass. Like legit cutting through skyscrapers dodging out on enemy abilities, using their own attacks against them, and in general just being a boss.
When I was little I always immediately clicked triangle when Xemnas would jump down the skyscraper, that’s what you did the whole game right? Well when I got older I’m talking 19-20 I wanted to see what would happen if you didn’t click anything for science! You can’t imagine my surprise when the prompts turned into different prompts. I replayed the fight and landed it that time. I literally called my one and only kingdom hearts friend to tell him my discovery, he logged on immediately and tested it out.😂
@@eggsack806 The weapon form changes are nice and all, but a reaction command where we chase Larxene as she zips around and smack her through a wall, or where we knock the young Xehanort's clock's arms backwards and restore the damage that was done to him would have been fucking metal.
I remember fighting Final Xemnas, and the Reflect part confused me for a bit cause I was too dumb to realize that you had to press both triangle and cross
I ended up seeing the defend command against Xemnas during my second playthrough of KH2 on proud mode. When I saw it and successfully did the defend command I felt like we were really in deep fighting him that time around, lol

There's one missing RC in the Zexion fight, which the Ultimania calls "Break" in JP; apparently you have to button mash Struggle really fast (ie. fast enough that it gives you "Break" instead of Reset) to get it and it supposedly deals good damage. I've never actually seen it in action, though… EDIT: Found it being used in JP, but I'm still looking for an English version.
One time, in the data battle for demyx, I tried to do his reaction command, and it INSTA KILLED ME. Sora didn’t hit him, Demyx hit me and fucking obliterated my whole existence. Never been so salty in my life. Doesn’t help that I hate demyx lol.
If you failed show stealer, Demyx will play a guitar solo instead of the usual melody. Sora will be seen poking on Demyx as if he's seeking his attention but then Demxy will smack Sora upwards (just like how Sora did to Demyx if Show Stealer is successful)
@@Elwood7X If fail while the machine still has some HP, then it will reduce your HP, instant kill, basically if you play Critical and don't have Second Chance on. If it's a timer one, then you die.
oh man this brings back memories, back in 2018 i was such a huge fan of this game i beat all org battles and side bosses now i struggle to go back to the game cuz of the boring disney worlds
If we look at all this through an in-universe perspective, Sora is literally adapting to everything on the fly, it's like he sees an attack coming and he uses his quick thinking to get out of it or counter it. How is he not a Keyblade master when he does all of these sick dodges and reversals without even needing to stop and think about what he needs to do to win

Kisuke Urahara larxene clones have to be both receive a certain amount if damage and be next to each other to activate. The other you have to get past water barriers and get close to him while guarding to activate.
He's low health and you can hear Xemnas saying "Can you spare a heart?" Which means he's going to trap Sora and slowly damage him, while you control Riku and try to get to Sora in time to save him. However, the player doesn't have enough health at 5:08 to save Sora and hence will inevitably lose the fight.

Sora not even a Master back then but was able to slice through skyscrapers
I be waiting next game when he cut the existence
So THAT's where Sakurai got Sora's back throw, when he yeeted Larxene into herself
Yes!
I liked this Sora better. He fought dirty
Honestly, he looked at everyone's weapons and said "would be a shame if someone took this and beat you with it"

These reaction commands made for badass quick time events.
KH2 sora a different breed
What makes reaction commands so cool is not just the action but also how awesome the names are
Break through,merge and duel stance has to my favorites honestly
Not just the names but the animations too
@@deltawarrior2323 Aerial Strike, Block (on Sepiroth's fight) and Slicer are my favourites.
In my opinion KH2 surpasses all games by far, KH3 included. 4:02 alone is the reason.
As good as KH3 and the rest are, KH2 I think will always be my favorite. Unless future game just goes crazy
This is a fact
I like KH1 the most. I'll go now.
@@neptune9647 both are good in their own ways
kh3 is bad tho
@@Cactuardude KH3 bad? Nah. But to each their own.
I didn't know sora got disarmed in the final xemnas fight. Sweet reaction command

There's one missing RC in the Zexion fight, which the Ultimania calls "Break" in JP; apparently you have to button mash Struggle really fast (ie. fast enough that it gives you "Break" instead of Reset) to get it and it supposedly deals good damage. I've never actually seen it in action, though…
EDIT: Found it being used in JP, but I'm still looking for an English version.
This dude seems so good at the game he does reflect with one finger.
In Japan, it should be easier since you can just roll between two buttons that doesn't have two other buttons getting in the way
Despite playing the Japanese version I actually have my controls rebound to the English ones due to muscle memory
I felt like KH never went over top like KH2 ever did and I miss it a lot
This is THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!
the hits feel wayyy harder in this game
Sora was a fucking god at the end of KH2.
He was about to rekt. By Xemnas if not for riku
Tbf, you kinda need to be one to keep up with Xemnas by that point.
How in gods name do you do Show Stealer, every-time i attempt it i just get whopped by a guitar
titusfang a you just mash triangle as you run towards him
Dont get close to him. He will try to approach you with the triangle button on him
When he first does it you press tringle once and dont press it again.
Fighting demyx in general is annoying but you just have to be really fast
I got the show stealer command in anti form. Sora taps demyx on the back, and then demyx hits him with his guitar.
Sora is pretty brutal isn't he?
Yeah, and he's not even a darkness guy '-'
@@lightdark3089 yeah
One time, in the data battle for demyx, I tried to do his reaction command, and it INSTA KILLED ME. Sora didn’t hit him, Demyx hit me and fucking obliterated my whole existence. Never been so salty in my life. Doesn’t help that I hate demyx lol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
These reaction commands are so cool. I wish we have a lot more of them in the next game...
Kh 2 sora has some crazy feats
Pretty good, though you didn't show what happened if you failed Show Stealer.
'twas inevitable that I'd miss something
It's alright! You showed off everything else. :)
What happens when you fail Stunt Dodge?
If you failed show stealer, Demyx will play a guitar solo instead of the usual melody. Sora will be seen poking on Demyx as if he's seeking his attention but then Demxy will smack Sora upwards (just like how Sora did to Demyx if Show Stealer is successful)
@@Elwood7X If fail while the machine still has some HP, then it will reduce your HP, instant kill, basically if you play Critical and don't have Second Chance on. If it's a timer one, then you die.
Played this game for years and I never knew that Demyx had a reaction command.
It's a shame that it didn't include failing Demyx' reaction command.
This is why no other kh final boss can top kh2. Reaction commands were too flashy
4:53 how do you activate the defend command?
Hit xemnas on his last attack
Final Xemnas Reflect? More like Final Cemnas Dual Button Mashing Simulator
There is a show stealer fail but it's hard to get
No clear light fail?
4:55 xemnas kicks sora in the face sora drops keyblade in pain
Just realized that. Kid doesnt drop his keyblade for nothing throughout the gane, but a kick to the head? Thats too much
Tbf, Xemnas kicks are like his primary weapon.
The whole body of the dude must be straight up lethal.
oh man this brings back memories, back in 2018 i was such a huge fan of this game i beat all org battles and side bosses now i struggle to go back to the game cuz of the boring disney worlds
