The best Kingdom Hearts QTE
QTEs are the weakest part of KH2 (after gummi ship and atlantis)
>>734994804Reactions commands aren't actually QTEs in KH2 because they're tangible mechanics with real frame data and movement properties.they're some of the best context actions in video games. really well animated and programed.for example even during this segment both Riku and Sora have active hurtboxes and both can take damage if the other fails to guard.
>>734998003You mash triangle.
>>734998070if you just mash triangle only riku will guard then both sora and riku will be vulnerable to the bullets.you have not played the game.
>>73499800399% of the time they are safe options. The idea of a button dedicated to contextual attacks is okay but in KH2 they're way too good.
>>734998185This comment is so unbelievably stupid I can't imagine you're able to tie your shoes.You said >>734998003>Reactions commands aren't actually QTEs in KH2They are QTEs. Something like Skyscraper is an extremely obvious QTE where you literally see a button onscreen that you hit to continue the cutscene. I responded by saying you mash triangle. You found the one instance of mashing another button. You still have to mash triangle there.
>>734998397>Skyscraperthose reaction commands are very rare. 90+% of reaction commands trigger tangible gameplay mechanics with offensive, defensive and mobility properties.they're so well programed modders trigger them outside of reactions and they work just like regular actions with proper hitboxes ect.compare that to the garbage in FF16 that are just literal cutscenes.

RCs were good. The proof is in how much people missed them when they were gone. As much as people can argue about them being too strong (some leave you too vulnerable in Crit, especially Level 1), they made the battles feel more memorable. KH3's strong options didn't have enough identity.
I got destroyed by this the first time playing it when it came out.
>>734998003They're cool but 90% of the time to easy. Shit like Cyclone appear so often without needing to do anything to trigger it that its just a free attack. Some of the boss fights that require exact positioning or blocking in a certain way are better.
>>734994719>QTE>actually extremely UGLYKH2 wasted all of its cuteness at the start of the game though, so it's no surprise.
test
>>735002115test this, nigga.
>>734998003Reaction commands are literally the definitive QTE you loon.
>>734994719This attack is fully playable in 3 btw.
>>735004318it looks like shit in that game tho and they had to put manual scripting on it because KH3's guard doesn't work.
>>735004294Honestly, the "definitive QTE" would have to be RE4's cutscene QTEs. The anon's trying to compare against those, where there's basically nothing going on except pressing the button to make the cutscene keep going, rather than a button you can press to change the gameplay in some way, which RE4 and KH2 both had some of. But yes I'd still agree that KH2 is full of QTEs.
>>734994719wrong.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLtNS6oNfeg
>>734998594retardyou hit button on timer and thing happenthat is by definition a qte
>>734998185There is like one reaction command in the game where having triangle on autofire will screw you over and it's the duel with Xemnas.
>>735006643it's not on a timer in 90% of cases.it's just a context sensitive action like a grapple move. if it didn't have the button overlay, you wouldn't call it a QTE.
>>735009009There are others like the Gamblers, Luxord, Samurais, Roxas and Mushroom 1There are also those that while not failing, will not be optimal to mash, like certain limits deal more damage if you time your pressesThat said, as much as i like KH2 and Reaction Commands, i do think having more of them across the board be based on timing rather than be able to mash them blindly.
>>735009187i do think having more of them across the board be based on timing rather than be able to mash them blindly would've been better* is what i meant to say, sorry.
>>735009187I forget how Luxord and gamblers work and I didn't play Final Mix so I'll concede on that, but Samurai only uses the reaction command to initiate the duel stance.
>>734998185That's such a kino mechanic
>>734998397THEY'RE QTES IN THE SAME WAY DOING A ROUND HOUSE KICK IN RE4 IS A QTE IDIOT
>>735009278Well yeah, you're right. But for the RC to come up you have to do certain things in combat, like guard their attacks and then the stance requires reaction speed and clean inputs. So while the RC once available is just a triangle input, i'd say how the RC comes up and the stance following the RC are still part of it.
>>735009325On Critical mode it can actually feel pretty intense because Riku tends to go into the RC at very low health and a single missed input will cause you to lose the fight. Even worse if it's the Data version and you have to refight 2 bosses in a row. It's easy but still has tension. It also filters a lot of people on their first playthrough because they only mash triangle.
>>734998003every single content in the game can be beaten at level 1 critical without knowing any of that
the good RCs are basedthe mash triangle for cool cutscene RCs should've been more like Asura's Wrath
