It's surprising that they fleshed out Zack to have a solid gameplay foundation to this extent, considering on the main game you only control him for 3 fights, 1 of which is literally just a scripted sequence that you can not die in. Makes me very confident Zack will be fully playable with a much more refined style of gameplay in Part 3.
I thought I was good at playing, planning my atb and watching what enemies does. But this... man, you literally make me feel like a dumb ass newbie. Need to learn all the patterns for perfect parries like you. Super congrats man 🙏🏻💪🏻
Hey there! Here's the thing, I have a suggestion for a partnership, but you're missing the business email info in your description. It's not convenient to discuss it in the comments.
That was amazing! 😁 Team stuff on point, parry’s on point, very nice use of counterfire and powercleave. Very cool vid as always! You made it look easy haha.
I'm attempting the solo by learning each fight. Phoenix is the main issue. Im not sure if i want to master his attacks and block perfectly or just manawall and bravery. My current strat is bravery, build 2 ATB, manawall and fire on flan Keep attacking and trying to block at least if not perfect block the burst The bomb i chain slash 3 but sometimes he knocks me back The grandhorn goes quickly with a fire Phoenix enters pressured and i instantly throw a meteor 3, then i do 2 high bravers and attack until he is 1/10 from stagger then toss out meteor shots so he gets pummeled with those as hes staggered from the first one then do high braver x2 but idk i may have to change it to high braver x3 because i have a tiny window before rebirth flame My issue is keeping up the damage and killing him before stagger ends. My main issue is survival because zack builds atb slowly. I do really like his character. Im on attempt 85 so i must enjoy something about him. Wish he had a move for stagger percent bonus too though. True slash 1-3 each level giving 10%. He plays like a character MEANT to be in the next game but without some abilities. He feels like hes missing something. Sephiroth too, and he is a monster. Zanshin rising on bahamut wings is great Anyway im in the process of using shortcuts instead of tactical slowdown. The stagger window is pretty short on everything. In Remake some were super long. Fat chocobo for example. I do think i need to save that fraction of a second to pull off attacks. Ive been playing Zack for weeks but these rounds are overtuned imo. Definitely meant for 2+ Boss 2 has 92-95K like uhhh...thats insane. Kujata has like 133k or something insane. Its fun but seriously waiting years to maybe get to use him in more than just minimal areas is a drag. I say add in 2 to 3 abilities and give him a stance, and definitely fix the combo QC so you're not forced to the ground with Titan or enemies with a lotta knockback (i like the downward strike it just needs faster recovery). Final note on Zack, the dodge slash like cloud has to throw magic blades at the enemy could be in there Anyway insane run ill probably never solo it fully but it's more fun than going for the plat for now imo. Johnny trove is so excessive. Friggin cant stop wont stop was way easier. To be forced to play some minigames again is terrible. Others are tolerable, but it's painfully upsetting to go from stuff like this to being a stupid frog and ignoring Queens blood until I had 500 hours of gameplay did me no favors...
I'm finally able to beat Titan and the Hueyacoatl but Phoenix absolutely trashes me there aren't many narrated guides on how to do Bonds with Zack SOLO at all I doubt even 1% of people can beat the first round solo. Idk how to even approach phoenix
I will try to explain what I did in the phoenix round, first eliminate all his summons, try to parry some of his attacks until you get to his last summons, you have the charge to lvl 3 use meteors shots and some attacks mid air, then attack with chain slash, try to get the stunt bar to 95% and then use high braver that should stun him and rush to have charge lvl 3 again and do high braver again if you do slow he will use rebirth flame.
@@zKrisVll2001basically meteor shots chain slash 3 X2 leave some small stagger and stagger into high braver then do another one. I'm gonna bring cloud to get through the first 2 since they're easy now and I guess learn to perfect block every time. Not sure how I'll handle that psycho brineborn but I can practice him with cloud or use the same strat to burn through rounds with cloud and then use Zack to practice. This is truly a hard challenge especially solo. Sephiroth, I can get to 5 or 6/10 with barely any practice but Zack is like slower cloud without prime mode to me. They really should have let us use him for any combat sim summons and stuff post game so we could get good. Seems like an unfinished character that COULD have a special basic attack mechanism or mode like cloud (or like Crisis Core Zack) Oh well, it's not required I do it but I do enjoy his charge mechanic.
Dude you are fucking incredible. How are you not being punished with Odin's Reprisal when he slaps the pink bracelets on you? You're still using ATB commands, and thought any ATB command with the bracelets would trigger Reprisal.
How exactly do we learn to play Zack when the enemies in the only tutorials A) annihilate us fast (bonds) or die almost immediately (vs orcs tutorial) How did you practice the quick charge combo ? Was this something that took like a hundred hours or did you choose a specific enemy? Or did you have a cloud support build to keep Zack alive during a round and just practice there? I really want to know because I want to be able to do his combat and crisis core reunion is a lot different (no charge mechanic) So 1. How'd you practice him/where? 2. How long did it take to get good?
Hi about yours questions i agree that Zack is hard to practice with him and his tutorial doesnt not help at all maybe they should add him in the others VR Combats if u completed all the combats. I practice with Titan the quickcharge like you say in his tutorial is very difficult because they have low Health i took a few hours but one you learn the timing is pretty easy. And a only use Zack without cloud for practice. And if you do all the combats with zack solo will take a while also zack doesnt have precision defense focus materia is more hard to parry with him.
Wow! Just Wow mate! You're a genius 😉 If possible, one day when you get the time, could you make it as a tutoriel, indicating what you did (like when you wait to get hit to block and build some ATBs) You're one if the best out there 😉 Currently I'm stuck on Bahamut, I will train solo on it then on Odin to complete this challenge :) Thanks a lot for your video Mate! Helps so much Best regards, StarkillerX.
@@zKrisVll2001 Thanks a lot for your answer Boss! I got a bit of your method on Bahamut, seems ok to do it. Now I'm training Odin, he has a lot more of RNG, so it's a bit difficult :) I'm trying to get the different patterns and seems to be working. I'll try the challenge soon. But I must admit without your video it would have been much more difficult for me. Thanks again and looking forward for any of your videos 😉 Kind regards, StarkillerX.
Good lord, this is impressive! I had a hell of a time beating this with Cloud nuking everything. Finishing it without Cloud is incredible...great job!!
Its actually kind of bonkers smart to just limit him when he transforms. Never thought about it. He just goes straight to charging so he doesn't get to crash out and do whatever he wants. Would have been good to know during the actually 2BAH hell with Cloud
If its all the same to you being a parry god is what you need to do to be good with Zack which means you can beat this with anyone. High Braver is insane but you'd expect at Charge 3 he'd just be steamrolling. The benefit to wasting time for this mechanic doesn't seem worth it at least not in this setting against these kinds of enemies
