Anything you want to know about KH

[Sora]

Read the title... and it's just KH.. and maybe some KH2... ask me anything from special attacks of characters to story or whatever... I'll find the answers or just answer them off the top of my head... if you have questions abot CoM though, you should probably go to Enji instead since I haven't played it.

[Sephiroth]

Pardon but do you have my attacks from KH? I only have my FF7 attacks and I would really like not to use those here because they are very powerful... and I like to make things fair...

[Riku]

Heres a basic list I got from a help faq:

Basic Sword Slash
Sephiroth does a basic standing sword slash. CAREFUL! His sword has TREMENDOUS
reach. If you're good, try parrying it. More often than not, I simply got hit by
this, and cured after 2-3 of them.

Teleport Sword Slash
Sephiroth does a teleport somewhere around you (generally behind you) and then
follows with a sword slash. This can get ANNOYING, because you lose your target
lock
on him. Damage is about the same as a Basic Sword Slash. He'll also do almost every
time after you land a combo, sometimes interrupting your combo.

Flame Pillar
Sephiroth summons a huge pillar of flame to surround him. He is not invincible
while he does this, so take advantage of it. Unfortunately, you can't get close
enough to him while he does it to hit him... or can you? He normally does this
attack after 2-3 sword slashes, and after interrupting Sin Harvest.

Sin Harvest
Sephiroth teleports into a corner and summons some nasty voodoo against you.
This move will hurt! Do not let it hit you! It will reduce your HPs to 1 (if you
have Second Chance equipped), and your MPs to 0. It will kill you outright if you
don't have Second Chance. After he does this, he will normally do a Teleport Sword
Slash and try and kill you. If you interrupt this move (by hitting him), he'll
immediately go into a Flame Pillar.

Omnislash
Sephiroth does a frenzy of standing and leaping blows, then leaps up and
does a finisher. This will hurt very much, but I've noticed the hits don't stun,
so you can dodge roll away and Cure in the middle of his tantrum if you want.
Just be wary of the last blow, because it takes a chunk of life. After he's done,
he's winded for a second, so get a few hits in.

Darkness Ball Attack
Sephiroth summons 5-8 Darkness Balls that surround him, then he closes in on
you, and does as Basic Sword Slash as the Darkness Balls draw in close to you.
He will also do a Teleport Sword Slash here as well, if you dodged the
Darkness Balls and his Basic Sword Slash. Doesn't really do a whole lot of
damage, but it can keep you stunned if you get hit by a lot of them. I basically
mashed Cure here, and waited for an opening to hit him.

Meteor Shower
Sephiroth turns white and summons a bunch of meteors. They circle around
him slowly, causing you damage if you get hit. Then the meteors get sucked into
a black hole over his head, then a huge meteor from the black hole hits you.
He's invincible (at least from my testing) while he's doing this, so just try
and stay away, and cure as needed.

Yeah... I know Sephiroth's attacks... I must have fought him at least a bazillion times...

Abilities:
~Teleport~ By far the most annoying power that Sephiroth has... he teleports. Where he re-appears is signified by a single black feather falling from the sky. The feather disappears in an orb of light and out pops Sephiroth. If the opponent has good eyes, they can target the feather and attack it jsut as Sephiroth pops up.

~Multi Teleport~ To confuse his opponent, Sephiroth teleports all around his opponent in a random pattern about 10 times, teleporting just as soon as he appears... a person wih excellent timing can actually catch him just before he teleports.

Attacks:
~Basic Slash~ Just a normal slash... it's always horizontal and in Battou Jutsu style. The Masamune which he carries is 6 feet long so, needless to say, this slash is devastating by itself.

~Teleport Slash~ Really annoying skill. Sephiroth teleports to behind his opponent and jumps foward, slashing them horizontally in Battou Jutsu style.

~Flame Pillar~ (Also Known as Judgement)
Sephiroth surrounds himself with a gigantic pillar of upward rushing flames. He can be hit while doing this, but it doesn't interrupt the flames themselves... and anyone who is attacking him will not only have limited view because of the flames but will suffer severe burning as well. He uses this quite often and usually uses it repeatedly if hit immediately (1-2 seconds) after the attack.

~Sin Harvester~
This move kills anyone outright if they don't have the Second Chance ability not to mention drains all of their MP. If they do have the Second Chance ability, they are reduced to 1 HP and absolutely no magic power. Sephiroth teleports behind the character as far back as he can go (edge of the ring), and begins the long process of Sin Harvester. He says the attack name aloud and runs his hand through the air. A trail of magic follows as if the air were thick with it... a Halo appears above his hand and then a Halo above his opponent. Once the Halo appears above his opponent, the move cannot be countered... however, it takes a full 5 seconds for this Halo to appear, allowing plenty of time for it to be countered. Seeing as this attack requires a lot of concentration, a single blow while casting it will disrupt the spell. Typically he'll run up to you and slash you after this spell if you aren't already dead.

~Dark Omnislash~
Sephiroth powers up and unleashes this move... It's like a slower moving Arcanum... for the final blow, Sephiroth leaps into the air and comes down. Beams of energy, forming an X race from his position. Out of all the slashes, Sephiroth only hits, on average, about 6 times. There's actually enough time between slashes to cast a spell if you're quick. During this attack he cannot be struck.

~Darkness Balls~
Sephiroth summons 5-8 balls of dark energy around his opponent. They home in on his opponent and he usually tops off with 3 rising spiral slashes that come at lightning speed while you're being pummeled by the balls of darkness. Sometimes to cause even more devastation, he'll teleport behind his opponent before the rising slashes.

~Meteor~
This is an incredibly devastating attack. Sephiroth becomes surrounded by an aura of protection and several meteors fall. He reaches his hands into the air and begins forming a ball of energy (If you've ever seen Dragon Ball Z it looks like he's forming a Spirit Bomb). While he's forming the gigantic ball of destruction, the meteors orbit around him... the one's closer to him naturally moving faster. When he's finished forming the energy ball the meteors explode for minor damage, he turns to his opponent and hurls it at them, filling half of the fighting area with a gigantic explosion (Yes, HALF, it can be dodged with a well-timed Dodge Roll). While forming the ball of energy, Sephiroth cannot be hurt, nor can he be hurt when throwing it... it's only after he's finished with the attack that you can hurt him.

Phases:
Sephiroth doesn't just use the attacks at first... he has a few phases he goes through.

~First Phase~
At this stage, the SOLDIER Legend isn't really taking you seriously. He slowly walks around the ring and simply uses basic slashes and teleport slashes. If he gets hit with a combo, he usually uses Flame Pilar to throw them back.

~Second Phase~
After you hurt him a little bit and he realizes he has a fight on his hands, he begins to become serious. He doesn't walk anymore, but runs at full speed. He uses more teleport slashes in this phase and tends to jump back to about mid to long range distance after every slash as not to be hit. It's now that he uses Sin Harvester very often. Maybe every few minutes. He also frequently uses Flame Pillar. On very rare occassions he will use multi-teleport

~Third Phase~
Sephiroth is PISSED because at this point he's halfway through. He summons a dark aura of energy through a black and green vortex that appears at his feet... while he's summoning this energy, he cannot be harmed. He usually uses a Dark Omnislash or Multi Teleport just before going into the third phase. Throughout the rest of the fight, Sephiroth will be covered in an aura of energy. In this form Sephiroth completely unloads on you. He uses his Darkness Balls in order to aide his slashes... he doesn't use basic slashes anymore either, they all turn into rising spiral slashes. He tends to use Flame Pillar only if he wants to put some distance between himself and his opponent. Also he stops using Sin Harvester so much, seeing as it takes so long to hit... if he does use it, he'll use it at very odd times... like right after a Meteor attack. Speaking of which, he uses Meteor and Dark Omnislash a lot during this phase... but for the most part he uses his Darkness Balls. At this phase he tends to teleport a lot as well, which is, needless to say, veyr annoying. Very rarely he will invoke a Multi Teleport followed by a Darkness Balls into a Teleport Rising Spiral Slash.


There... a basic rundown of Sephiroth and his Kingdom Hearts fighting tactics... also, Sephiroth has no way to heal himself when you fight him in Kingdom hearts...

[EDIT]: Whoops, I forgot to mention that he uses Flame Pillar after interrupting Sin Harvester a lot... thanks for mentioning it Riku.

Actually, Sin Harvest is actually Descend Heartless Angel...also, I found that after smacking him around 3 times he'll ALWAYS break your combo with Teleport Slash. I just used the Strike Raid tactic to beat him fairly easily.

Umm... about 90% of the people who play Kingdom Hearts say it's Sin Harvest or Sin Harvester... Descend Heartless Angel is too many syllables for what he's saying... and whether or not he's saying it isn't the point... the attack is called Sin Harvest. As for what you said... I can actually get off 5 or 6 hits before he teleports... it's only when I use Arcanum that he teleports after 3 hits. Strike Raid is a good tactic... until he starts running... then it's next to impossible to hit him.

[Rael]

Actually, Descend Heartless Angel would make sense because Descend Heartless Angel in FF7 took down a character to 1 HP.

Alright.. I researched it, and he does scream out "Descend, Heartless Angel!"

However... that's not the point. Despite that he SAYS that... the attack is still called Sin Harvest.

[Rael]

Fine, who cares what the name is..

[Sora]

obviously you do... otherwise you wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it... -_-

[Rael]

*kicks Sora* Quiet you.

[Axel]

hey i gots a question i eed something axel uusally says i mean ....

[Tsugiri]

Out of pure curiousity;

I'd like to know why every black-coat in the KH: CoM game (besides DiZ and such) has a X in their name.

Ze x ion
Lar x ene
A x el
Le x aneus
Marlu x ia
Ve x en

[Sora]

Wow you know what? I never realized that until now, Tsugiri. Kind of strange isn't it? I have no idea.

[casey]

Okay in Kingdom Hearts for PS2 how do you defeat the boss at the clock tower in Neverland? He puts a death timer on Goofy and Donald and then they die. Then he does it to Sora. I can't defeat him!! I've tried at least a billion times.
