*uses thunder*

Or be me, and abuse the hell outta valor and master forms lol.

@@HarajukuDeadgirls111personally I played 2 like a glass cannon and it worked pretty well

@@devynmaluyep kh2 critical was a cakewalk compared to kh3 besides a few major fights

@@jeridrozniarek7411 That's cause 2's was better balanced and telegraphs were more consistent. KH3 has little to no telegraphs and mysterious contact damage, which usually 1-shots you in crit mode. So you'll attack an enemy and then it suddenly activates the hitbox without prior indication, causing you to instantly die. And this coming from a dude who's been playing KH since the first week KH1 released for PS2.

DarkFrozenDepths I almost died to him and then I pulled my sh*t together lol

Not gonna lie I died about 5 times or so to Dakrside in the tutorial lol

Me: you still didnt beat me b***h so no. I lost to the real first boss. Aka not you

Serious i couldn't believe i died to got damn darkside, never in my life have i felt such shame, such humiliation to a tutorial boss.

@@leeuchiha5661 I still haven't defeated him hahaha

Mmm Pancakes.

Ouchie Ouch!

KEYBLADE!!

Quack

@@donchindle2958 Hey look it's motherflippin' Corey!

@Andrei Maxwell Whatever, better at least have it at all. KH1, CoM and 358/2 Days don't have it.

@Andrei Maxwell You do realize they purposefully kept Critical Mode back to be able to fine tune it according to initial feedback, right? How would they have done that if they'd released it out of the gate?

Gamers : The game is still too easy. Nomura : So you choose death !!! *throws the Limitcut and Secret Episodes*

Literally the seekers of darkness trio fight would have been 10x easier if Buns dodged haha

Oh my god, dbz airbridged was so fuckin funny!

Roi Itzkovich when does she say that?

@@munchfantasies6782 In her "Yelling About KH3" video in her main channel.

The only ingredient in this mode is *S A L T*

Since I had Ultima me and the badies constantly died at the same rate

@Daitan Gore That's the dying.

kh3 critical = spam fire

@@A.S.28 Boring

unfortunately not all hard modes are balanced, or imo, fun

I was just about to ask! Get well soon

@@Mrfanofsonic same here... I was just about to ask if she was ok...

Critical mode might be a good spot to find some ingredients. "You're testing my patience DUCK"! SuperButterBuns 2019.

gematsu.com/2019/06/spongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated-announced-for-ps4-xbox-one-switch-and-pc Unrelated to video, but Buns the guys at THQ, those Madmen, actually did it.

My favorite part was: "Ah, man, I'm really scared. Okay com'on! Kill! AGH!" *gets killed* XD Well, it did what you asked. It killed... you.

In this game Phil has no words of advice for you.

Phil: "GET YOUR HEAD OUTTA THE CLOUDS!!! GIT GUD KID!!!"

Lol I got three words for u old man ( GET A LIFE ! ) XD

Another three words to u old man living in his parents basement ( Learn to spell ) xD V card much

Remember when Darkside was a fucken SHADOW?

@MrRomesXIII most people don't know the difference between difficulty and challenge, so it still works.

3 years lateri, i decided to give it a try. Boy, did darkside run me over 5 times. I felt like a fucking idiot.

"Keyblade!"

Ya wish dark souls were so hard

@@andreainghilterra Dark Souls can't be so hard because it has to be fair. If a mob snipes you from outiside the screen and kills you the game ain't hard: it's just poorly designed

@@pascalsimioli6777 Yeah I had more fun playing Dark Souls even though I died quite a few times but I'm not having much fun playing kh 3 on critical, only having fun with gummiship lol.

@@pascalsimioli6777 To be fair, those 2 archers caused me more grief than anything in kh3 crit

Tbh, if you can beat kingdom hearts 3 on critical, you can beat dark souls. Both combat systems revolve around learning the enemy's/boss' attack patterns. All in all, you could say in a weird way dark souls and kh3 are rhythm based games.

BBS does at least give SOMETHING to help you at least. Like more slots to begin with to give you more options with what you can put in your deck early on (and as someone who started doing BBS Critical Mode recently, it certainly helps to have potions AND more than just 2 commands available for use early on) Not to mention Zero EXP in the HD ports of BBS was tweaked so that you won't be doing chip damage

And dream drop distance has a new game plus so the help there is that you keep your spirits in critical mode so you could unlock abilities easier

It gets needed requiring to upgrade it. That said it still has higher states and all its abilities so...

Emp United exactly and it isn't hard to upgrade none of the keys are

same, all tho i also had oathkeeper on cuz of reflect/barrier i'm not sure wich one is the right one but you get the idea

jcoombs96 YES

Its kind of actually the best difficulty to enjoy it

@@TheKingofZock Critical mode IS KH3. It's not only the best way to play the game but the ONLY way to!

@@roiitzkovich4545 Yeah thats kinda what i said. But whatever, people can play on whatever difficulty they want.

@@TheKingofZock If I'll speedrun it than I'll do it on beginner because it doesn't cut your MP by half. However, as a KH speedrunner, speedrunning KH games is kinda boring because you know almost everything in the game step-by-step so the game is auto-pilot. If I'm playing KH2 and 3 for fun than I'm doing it normaly without pattern reading.

To late. Time to suffer.

Meanwhile: *level 1 critical, no damage, style runs*

When you bitch about something too hard

If you squint hard enough you can clearly see it says dark souls mode, not critical...

Nah the fandom's reaction to critical mode has been more like asking a waiter for a cup or water halfway through the meal and then slapping it out of their hands and screaming at them for not bringing it at the beginning

When did she say that O.o

Yes we can!

How much hits can you take around the end world?

@@christinepooh8879 srry for a late reply but reach lvl 85 and feels safe

@@nothingelsetodo4229 85!!! I beat the entire game at level 39!

Spanming magic is really boring tho.

@@TheKingofZock to you

@@trashy2086 To any sane person.

You still should be fine, just eat more boosting food.

Thats kinda boring tho

@@TheKingofZock Not always. Sometimes you can eat stuff that boosts experience. Or gives you a -za spell. Or turns all drops to munny and can be combo'd with Prize Proliferator and Munny Converter to maximize income.

@@ShinyGaara65 Still doesnt sound very exciting from a combat perspective

@@TheKingofZock You might be surprised.

Nameless NPC SAME. My first time, i spent 10 hours trynna beat him. When I finally did it i was sooo happy. I died in the next segment. Felt like i died in real life...

I died to roxas 57 times. I'm trying to learn to speedrun the game, and I was doing it via remote play. The combo you use to loop him is already precise, the input lag killed it. So much pain... Eventually I gave up and beat his ass normally LOL

@@IWLGaming input lag on Roxas crit yikes. The speedrun strat is so much easier than the regular way

Nameless NPC ....... “sephiroth”

@MrRomesXIII Yeah. That battle can be tough. iirc, I would spam reaction commands and sonic blade with limit form and then use cure to make my drive gauge go up faster and repeat the process. depending on the heartless, once they get close to you they'll start attacking and if they do they can stun-lock you cuz the ground dudes have a spinning attack or something and the hovering dudes have the fire ball thingies. so what u needed to do i think is basically minimize as much u can the amount of heartless start attacking, because the more are attacking, the harder it is to keep track of them and the more likely you'll die from an unsuspected attack. basically. in my rotation, after using up limit break and without any reaction commands available immediately, i would be somewhat surrounded so sora would use his spinning attack to get a lot of the gauge back and i would spam that, but the thing is that would cause me to be in one place for several swings and it would simply take too long before something started attacking me and i might die. so i think what i started doing was i would do 1-2 swings to recharge drive gauge, do like 2-3 dodge rolls away, and once im sure nothing's attacking me, im ok to do 1-2 more swings again. sorry for the wall of text.

Oh you sweet naive little child...

Buns died more int he TUTORIAL than I died in my entire first proud playthrough. That's the difference in difficulty here holy shit @.@ sadly, critical isnt for me in kh3. I like difficulty in KH, but I dont usually like critical. Proud is usually PERFECT for me. it's a decent challenge, but it's not 'your ass is mine'. standard is too easy for mea nd not that fun, so proud is perfect in KH3, now theres no in between really. proud is the old standard and critical is critical. I just wish KH3 could have my prefered difficulty.

@@0MidnighttheDragon0 Yeah, I agree. I wish Proud could have been a nice middle ground like it usually is.

Donald heals me after I heal myself

gabeiscool 19835 same

Basically made him KH1 Donald then

There's AI options to make Donald much more likely to heal you if I recall correctly

gabeiscool 19835 he heals me the instant I heal myself

And there it is. I got shit for playing my game in standard mode. Folks couldn't realize I have a full time job. I took off 3 days for this fucking game. I want to finish it and I can't do that if I keep dying in the fucking tutorial from a hard ass mode.

DravenUrei don't worry the fandom is just toxic. If the game isn't kingdom hearts 2 it'll be shit no matter what they do.

@@knight3612 Thats exactly the way it is.

I always play on standard for that very reason, especially now I'm older with a full time job

@@knight3612 fucking exactly. Because KH2 is so fucking perfect /sarcasm

exactly!

Some shot locks use magic, yes. Specifically, I know at the very least Ever After max shotlock uses magic and is very reliable for a mystic run, even at level 1!

Also want to add that ReMind bring a new Finisher to your combo that is tied to Magic so that's a plus for Magic Build ^^

Thinking "finally".

Gg

I hate how they just look around like they're just trying to act the fool. Good thing I got Ultima for my critical mode plus

Sora: Donald, I need healing! Goofy: 1 hp off of max Donald: * incoherent duck noises *
