In case any of the runners see this, or just anyone who knows the answer I have a small question. During the engine core fight near the end, he went into valor form for like two seconds before reverting. Why? Was that to refill hp and mp? That was my first thought but then he went in to wisdom form briefly at the very end of the fight that I believe is for that.
Yea, he wanted MP back to do Duck Flare and then go into another form at the end to have full MP for Armor Xemnas (While also helping avoid the claws 1 shotting you on the way down)
The valor form was indeed for the MP refill too let him use duck flare against the core then wisdom form was for another MP refill on the next boss since Armored Xemnas 1 keeps whatever state your health and Mp are at from the core fight before it
The one defense I'll give to LoD keyblade is that MP rage is fantastic when using Limit form in spammy fights so long as you have second chance and once more. It's worthless p much in lv 1 runs, but since Limits during Limit form refill your HP, you can Limit at the cost of MP to fill your HP, then losing HP refills your MP so you can go back into Last arcanums or sonic slashes. One MP rage on it's own isn't amazing, but I will say for data reorg fights if you have a couple of shade archive+ it makes Limit form extremely abusable. The main downside to hidden dragon and MP rage in general is that it doesn't work during MP charge, making it HORRIBLE if you plan on using curaga. If you heal yourself with potions, on the other hand, it can be pretty handy.
This was a great run, always great to see the level 1 run get shown off
Congrats on the PhD KBM! Thanks for finding the time to do these speed runs as well.

not a runner, but it was to refill MP after the trinity to use duck flare
Yeah, to refill HP/MP.

This is the only way to play/run the game imo after youve tried it. So much fun and what a challenging experience
Kh2 speed runs are always so exhilarating to me
BIGSID best PM Ike player and a legendary speedrunner too?? It’s Harold if you ever read this I miss the Tallahassee days!!
I just finished most of this world in my casual level 1 run. I didn’t know about chicken little. Can confirm it’s a nightmare
Been waiting to watch this until I beat kh2. Well, the cake has been served.
" assualt ridders are dangerous at llevel 1."
