Sidestepping is not equivalent of this, since it literally shuts down some characters (most notably Terra) because almost all of their Bravery moves are ranged.

We could, but I've never played the game so it would be rather one sideded

That's covered in the in-game help files. They boost Basic accessories. Right now, I can get 10.9x on my 15% Magical damage+ item.

It's not just the summon. Often, they have access to First Strike (Critical Hit % increase on first combo), Counterattack (Crit rate up when countering) and Riposte (Crit rate increase when blocking opponent), all of which can turn a 200-300 damage attack into a crippling 400-600 damage, or taking combos like Sephiroth's basic Bravery attacks and turning them into one-hit Break scenarios long before you would ever have access to them.

Actually, some of the most devastating fighters are the close range jugglers. Warrior of Light has a brutal link move after a brave attack that has more than once one-shotted me on the opening level of Inward Chaos. All fighters have something, it's just that the melee fighters have a vast advantage in that a rush can go straight through a ranged attack, and that most ranged attacks leave the user stunned for a couple seconds, unable to dodge or defend against the melee counterattack.

So, I have the game, and I'm royally addicted. Guess who I use.

I'll see if I upload some stuff for fun and post here tomorrow. =)

Obviously the Onion Knight.

I've been playing on and off, using an Undub copy. Its okay in short bursts, but I'm still highly disappointed that you can't play from the Villains point of view.

Same. I was anxious to see all the villains join up with Chaos only to find out that the closest you get to it is with Chaos reports. Either way, fun game nonetheless.

Actually bsphil that's pretty much the best way to beat a higher level opponent. Breaking them is ridiculously hard. Another trick you can do if you can get your hands on the manually activated Magic Pot summon is just let them kick your *** into Break Status, copy their Bravery, then smash 'em in the face.

You can also speed level if you buy up the CPU level setting increase for the Quick fight option and take on Exdeath a lot of times. It's dull but it's a better way of leveling for villains for damned sure.

Already have 3 level 100's (Terra, Shantotto and Cloud). Working on Cecil now, finally learned enough combat moves to equip Dark Flame, makes fights a ton easier having a ranged finisher that doesn't involve being airborne.

I don't want to hear you say, ever again, that you owe gamestop something. That goes for anyone...

******* evil goddamned company.

But really, don't trade it into them; try to either pawn it privately or just sell it online. Not only would you lose money by trading it back, but the company would make 100-200% profit off of just your trade, and that bothers me morally.

I dislike the game enough to where I need to get it out of my house as fast as possible. So, I'll bring it to work tomorrow, offer my friend (who kinda wants to play it) 30$ for it, and if he passes, I'll take whatever gamestop will give me. If that were to turn out to be 0$, I might change my mind, but anything more than that and I'll take it just to get rid of the game.

Probably 12-18. Normal rule is 1/3 of new price.

I finally uploaded some videos.

For the record, Jecht can go **** himself.

I pretty much hate any character who has a BRV attack that links into a HP attack. Particularly when mixed with an almost flawless AI.

The sad part? The last guy of Inward Chaos is...Chaos.

That's going to be a ***** and a half by the time I get there.

Not going to bother till I have better gear, though.

I'm up to him now. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-this is challenging. If I can land Guiding Strike on him, I seem to be able to get into a loop of starting up the same attack over and over again, doing 1000-1200 damage each iteration. The trouble is in just getting it started. Haven't even gotten to the final round though. Closest I've been was about 2k from finishing the second round...

EDIT: HA! Winrar. Too bad they don't let you save Chaos fights.

If you think Chaos is bad now, wait until you you do Inward Chaos.

It was tough but I did manage to do it after about 20 retries, lol.
