Kingdom Hearts III - Dark Riku Data No Damage (LV1 Critical Mode/All Pro Codes/Heavy Restrictions) 

LOL🤣

Umm, I think you missed a quote, man. Try it *ONE MORE* time...

​​​​​​@@lyonvensa oh *COME ON* *WHO'S STRONGER?*

I spent 2 hours learning this fight last night on proud. Spamming attack is a surefire way to get nailed like an episode of a netflix baking show even in proud mode.

I'm currently doing this fight on critical and I'm having the time of my life with this boss So incredible fun and challenging It's my first time playing critical on any kh so it's a but intimidating

SERIOUSLY THIS BOSS IS FUCKING HARD i dont see how riku gets called the easiest when xigbar, luxord, YX, terranort, larxene, are way easier.

I believe I saw that same list when I first started fighting them without having really tried any of the others lol what a sick joke

Yeah I remember reading those lists so I did Dark Riku after Young Xehanort and was like "WTF this doesn't look easy" then I saw Will and Biz post their respective videos and saw their description of it and now it makes sense.

*spams 0 oathkeeper combo breakers*

Not necessarily; if you know how to mainipulate card mechanics and structure your deck properly, then you'll have an easier time than you think, and its not necessarily difficult. Here's an example; - make each row when you open up deck customization a sleight - have each row of cards have a premium in the first slot (you can't get them back when using sleights and reload anyway; save cost) - have your second and third cards be the highest values within sleight range incase you need to spam normal attacks and or sleights - put your zeroes at the very end of deck before reload - have black cards like combo+ (guard armor?), maleficent (more attack power, slower reload), hook (all zeroes), marluxia (2x sleight), oogie boogie has regen(?); its been awhile since i played so some may be inaccurate - have sleights like tinker bell that give you time to rethink and reset - have at least 3-4 elixers/megas to quick reload as a last option in situations. Always try to manually reload other wise and work with the high value numbered cards. I use an elixer if im out of heals and/or zeroes. Never spam elixers when dealing with opponents that can react as fast you or have them countered. Not necessarily spaming slights unless you want to drain your prenium cards immediately (which is a good strategy before 1st and 2nd reloads). - when all your premium cards are gone, use sleights as counters and periods to think and shuffle through your deck for your next move. Staying on the offensive is key. TL:DR, prepare yourself and adjust your deck to littearly fit game and animation mechanics.

Jafar Boss card, a bunch of 3 Keycards (preferably Oathkeeper) to spam Ragnoroak would work pretty dang well on him I'd bet

*TRY AGAIN.* **proceeds to spam lethal frame*

@@Noah123204 I love the card mechanics in CoM but unfortunately I think it would be a better fit if they had actually made an entirely new game on its own based on that, just like Devil May Cry came to be from a Resident Evil Prototype.

SAMEEEE i had trested this fight as an anime battle where i would hit while he was hitting and pray i got a stun lol

I will stand by saying its a good fight but the most fucking frustrating thing about this fight for me is his fucking voice clips are so goddamn annoying makes me wanna rip my ears out

Biz after finishing all these fights: I'm UNSTOPPABLE!

Plot twist: Bizkit is actually Buff dark raiku

I soon as i read this i actually heard riku say "i'm done with you"

The easiest is definitely luxord

@@pokespartytv8086 Luxord and YX are pretty tied as easiest fights imo. Right after is Xigbar/Ansem

Ryocan Jetstream Lover Oh really,I thought he was *done with you*

Oh, guess I was *Too Slow* to catch on, blinded by *Darkness* even.

I thought it was good, but i ruined the fight because i grinded to lvl 99 with ultima weapon.. i beat him second try. So maybe i just didnt have to learn a lot in the fight and only won cause i was op, but i felt that i learned when to block and dodge roll and attack.

yeah same it's not a horrible fight but all the visual noise on the screen made it less fun than it otherwise would've been imo. it was overwhelming but not in the good way like xemnas was overwhelming and then slows down as you understand what he's doing. it just seemed to be a little too much. as you said, yozora kind of took the tenets of dark riku and turned it into an actually excellent fight where you have to think pretty creatively to find openings and even then they aren't free.

I found that when he teleports next to you, you can guard and then reprisal into his Dark Shield to get a guaranteed punish on his reprisal.

Rock RIGHT

Dark Riku was a pain. It was rewarding defeating him for the first time. The DM is such a hassle I had to resort to Simba to survive.

@@bobo577 I had fun blocking and dodging his dm, probably my favorite data dm

Turkey Butt Fair enough, i redid them on Critical but haven’t beaten Ansem or Xemnas on that difficulty. Dreading Xion and Master Xehanort again. Never have beaten Yozora however, frustrating boss.

That's what makes him my favorite tbh. It's fun and intense.

​@@FantasticJay3582 I like how KH3 has a lot of battle styles, like this one, I didn't like at first but now I see how good it actually is.

Most know this but its the distance we have to cover to get BACK within range (running / dodging claw,throw, or w/e will need large distance to be safe at lv1 ) and its hard to tell what part of the move set order he'll be on by the time you finally strike... Flash step is fast but it can only go so far and he might drop on your head ( which is near the ending of those weird order barrier non barrier movesets) which has happened to me .... But if close,, sure hit the barrier and roll away.. he'll counter/reprisal (which has very low strike distance) and be open

@SheSoKatie B I don't play critical anymore. I play on Proud. As I said, Riku is ONE of the easiest. There are easier ones (Young Xehanort, Larxene, Xigbar and Luxord took me the least amount of attempts)

@@AliveByMind Well the fact that you're playing on Proud mode pretty makes any claims of difficulty (or lack thereof) completely irrelevant. Critical is the only one that actually matters lol

@@TThatsWhatSheSaid1 sure, whatever

Connor Jones Imagine thinking Critical matters in KH3.

when he usually does that he’ll do a drop down that you can counter and get a reprisal combo so if ur good at that it’s better to reprisal

I think the only dropdown move that's staggerable is when he's uses a specific attack after, hard to explain which one because if you stagger him he skips the move

@@Bizkit047 Okay, so basically it's almost always best to counter the move, because you can't beforehand tell whether or not he'll stagger? Also what are you planning to do after doing all these lvl1/no damage/pro codes data fights? Speedruns of them or is it too early yet? I don't usually have the time to check out streams but really appreciate your youtube content!

skinner 7 Exactly.

@@skinner7750 old and you probably figured it out but the attack that he uses after the slamdown that is punishable with a reprisal is when the brings out the dark pool thingy.

Your question would then be "hardest DLC fight", not "hardest data fight", since Yozora isn't a Data fight. :P

@straw Hat He said "data fight", which already doesn't include Yozora. So saying "not including Yozora" is redundant. >_>

I didn't know about this when I recorded the vid, but someone told me about it earlier. I don't really prefer to do it though, because not only does it end the DM earlier which makes it bad for a challenge, but you get more damage by getting a Reprisal with Final Blow at the end of his DM

It's past Riku, not Repliku I thought.

@@theweebking6748 nope, it's actually past Riku Replica

@@theweebking6748 It's explained in game that this is Riku Replica from the time he was brainwashed in Chain of memories.

Apparently from what I understand if you are on Proud or lower and LV99 he does less damage than the other Data, making him more forgiving than the other Data in the case of an unrestricted fight, so because of that it's esier to brute force him, and so apparently he is the Data that has the biggest gap in difficulty between Proud and Critical.

The Keyblade of heart? Well, lore wise it wouldn't make sense, but I guess it would have been cool. Personally I like soul eater better tho.

That would have been cool, but Repliku never used it

Probably trying to obliterate the memory of ever having worn that outfit, hula skirt and all, haha

Triple rush

Because he doesnt have aerial dodge equipped.

It's based on where he places the shadow mine thingies. If they surround you in a circle, he jumps to you, if he is going to do the huge shockwave, he puts them to the left and right of you

@@boom-squigs8529 Dang, I've done this twice with slowly increasing restrictions and never noticed! Thanks for the tip!

The jumping on top of you thing is his revenge move; he always does it after teleporting out of being comboed. Fight's a lot less frantic if you try not to trigger it actually.

One more

Another one

Probably not punishing his openings enough. He'll always DM beginning after 3 attacks, after that idk if you keep missing

@@Bizkit047 yeah i miss a lot cuz im trying to learn the fight without a guide. But i gave up and looked for a guide you might have done lol

Gabriel medina blackman Remove Aerial Dodge.

Might clank and get hit

@@Bizkit047 What about Reprisals?

Yes

I think he meant Rising Spiral

Aaron Romani oh, alright

Meant Rising Spiral lmao

That's one of the pro codes, *_HP Slip_* to be exact

It's HP slip

HP drain code. He took no damage. Notice no actual hits on him through the entire fight.

I don't know about Soro's health, but Sora didn't take damage

Twitter shaming in 3...2...1

Git gud pusi
