Ranking the Limit Cut Data Fights on Critical Mode from Kingdom Hearts 3 (Part 2) No Damage Criteria 

Thank you for all of your tutorial videos man, helped me A LOT. Your ranks of the data battles are pretty good 👍🏽 the hardest data battle for me was Saïx 🙃 took me 6 DAYS to make him expire lmao. Personally for me I found Xion to be manageable because her music helped me stay on beat to block her light pillars. Great video as usual! 👏🏽

For me the list is different, I beat Ansem In literally 3 tries idk how but it happened. Riku I beat in less than 10 tries. So they arent up there on the high difficulty chart to me. But SAIX? XEMNAS? And Vanitas WTFF.

I've been doing critical/all pro code runs lately. I completely agree on Vanitas, Xemnas and Master Xehanort. Ansem was really hard but I managed to do an awesome run with no damage. Check my video, I've found a nice way to deal with his mines and his DM. Xion and Dark Riku were the easiest for me. Both under 1 hour. It is strange but I had big trouble with Larxene. She was one of the hardest for me.

Xion was the bane of my existence on my first playthrough, god I fucking hated fighting her.

Vanitas in every single game he’s been in has kicked my ass, this one might be the worst one. My top 3 hardest in this game are Dark Riku, Vanitas, and Xemnas. Xion was tough, all of these data battles kicked my ass. But Dark Riku, Vanitas, and Xemnas were the ones that took me the longest to beat.

Fantastic list. This is exactly what I was looking for. Honestly, I’m really struggling with Saix, Dark Riku, and Xigbar (lol). Super excited to get through them and face the brick wall that is Xion and MX 💪

I thought Xion was one of the easier ones in general. She has the most scripted fight of them all I think. The first half she does the exact same moves in the same order every time and during the second half when she introduces new moves you don't have to gamble on an opening to look for. She comes to you and the game prompts you to counter.

I actually found Marluxia stupid easy. Him and Larxene are the only two I did on my first try (I was on lvl 99 crit). But good lord, Dark Riku, Xemnas, and Xion gave me HELL.

Terra-Xehanort Xion Venitas Dark Riku Saïx Ansem Master Xehanort Larxene Xemnes Xigbar Marluxa Young Xehanort Luxord Based on my level 1 All Pro Codes run The list might be a bit scuffed cause I got better and more consistent over time in general. But it's still based on from when I learned the patterns of each fight, and how far I got into the fights without getting hit each attempt Yes, Terra-Xehanort was the one giving me the most trouble, it's weird but he even gave me more trouble than Yozora

What's with people being so toxic and taking so much pride over these fights? Like yeah, you guys do Crit Level 1 no damage runs daily on these hugely difficult bosses we normal people can't last a fraction of a second, are we supposed to be impressed? Literally 100% of the people I've met online talking about this are like "these are the easiest bosses of gaming, if you can't beat Larxene KH isn't for you, these should be the standard."

I fucking hate Dark Riku. I would be willing to do every data fight in kh3 over again if I had to BUT Riku.

idk why everyone complains that xemnas or mansex lol is so difficult when I literally beat him on my first try on critical mode not kidding even though I thought it was just bevy of extreme rng or something.

Lol vanitas that night with dark riku? There the easiest to fight sure you have to be fast but once you get the pattern it’s an easy fight.

I fought vantis first... it was a long fight. It took probably around 8 hours. I spent around 30 hours fighting all these guys. Some with a guide some without. But Yozora is gonna be without a guide

Funny for me Xion was as easy as Young Xehanort XD. Ansem is an interesting case, I think he is easy to beat but he is a pain to no damage. Saix and Riku were the toughest for me.

Thank you so much for your tutorials. They helped a lot. Currently have to beat master nort nort next.

I for some reason had no problem with riku. I beat him on my 2nd try and he never did his dm. My top 3 would be saix, vanitas,and Xion for difficulty, with Xion being my favorite fight in the game

Thank you for this video. I've been craving a proper ranking of these bosses since a certain RU-vidr blue-balled the community with ranking them. As for Vanitas, there are two more openings that would have dropped him even lower on your list. When he spams his crawling Firaga spells, when he teleports to your left and fires the spell, if you block, then airstep to him, you can punish him. Also, when he starts launching shockwaves out of his keyblade in sets of three, if you block the first and airstep through the rest, you can punish him. It can also be punished by being in close range when he starts the attack and you block and immediately counter.

Honestly I feel like your rankings were pretty dead on. I did a crit run my first time though and my only rank changes here are switching Xion and Master Xehanort, and Switching Saix and Riku. I didn’t do a no-damage-run, so I can’t speak for that level of difficulty. My criteria for judging their difficulty is less empirical as well because Young Xehanort, by far, took me the longest to learn. He’s the boss that got me from button masher to decently skilled. Every boss after took me less time because I knew what to expect. I also have stronger understanding of a lot of the harder bosses (Xemnas and Xion in particular) because they were so fun I had to keep refighting them. So some bosses which are definitely more difficult, are easy for me because I put extra time into them for fun. Master Xehanort was extremely difficult for me because every attack he did would stagger you into the oncoming chain of lasers and shadow clones that I basically had to do a no-damage-run to finally win. I remember I got hit ONE time when I finally beat him. Saix is also really hard for me because his flame walls obstruct my vision and made it hard to learn what his next move was, because I couldn’t even see it coming. His stuns were also unpredictable sometimes which was always a game-over. Nice video

Ansem was the hardest for me. Smh. It wasn't a no damage run. I was just trying to defeat the guy lol. This list is pretty legit for me aside from that one. Id probably aslo swap Master Xehonort with Vanitas and Dark Riku with Terranort. I destroyed Dark Riku after 2 attempts

Lol, Xion is my personal #9, while Saïx earns the #1 easily. I didn‘t measure for damageless runs tho (I‘m simply too bad for this shit), I’d say my measurement is frustration. And for me Ansem is actually the easiest of them all, followed by Terranort, who shares similar patterns with him.

Makes me glad I already beat Xemnas because right now I'm trying the beat the data fights although I kind of went into the DLC at level 44 on hard mode. I'll try to remember that lightning trick for when the masked guy goes onto his keyblades.

When it came to this data bosses, the top 3 for me are Master Xehanort, Xenmas and Riku, from an opening standpoint. While playing, I decided to go as blind as possible, figuring openings on my on, which was actually extremely fun. But those three... Riku I only managed to found like two (with the sometimes lucky "reflect" opening) which didn't help with his relentlessness, still managed to beat him in a few hours since I managed to get somewhat "on tune" with his moves reactively, with those openings only. Xenmas not gonna lie, his thorn grabs disoriented me and make panic, and a lot of his openings were a bit hard to figure and pull out due to the timing and "bait", unlike other bosses there wasn't a clear cut like "he does this attack you recognize and then his open", try to attack on all his grabs and you are gonna get rekt, try to counter his lases spin like in the beggining and you are gonna get rekt. It took me seeing your video to understand his pattern opening interactions (and his dm and three vertical barriers) to beat him. Still after that, it was an extremely fun and fast paced fight. Master Xehanort... after hours and hours and hours I only managed to find 1, the one in his first enlight me move with the magic bombs, which sometimes got me killed with the center laser beam. And then I could barely survive a bit after that since I couldn't figure out how to even evade his attacks (besides the freezing fire attack, which I didn't know you could "parry"). Every other single data boss I was able to figure out either openings or how to survive consistently, this one? I had to gave up and look at your video, and was absolutely baffled at how different his openings are compared to other bosses: correct positioning, no reprisals for safety, dodges instead of blocking, in a way it was fascinating. So yeah, from a standpoint of a player trying to beat the bosses on their own as blind as possible, Master Xehanort is the absolute most difficult one for me, even if once you learn those patterns he becomes very beatable. PD: Special metions to Xion and Saix: Xion I managed to figure out all her normal moves to perfection, but absolutely got rekt by her armor phases, especially the DM one. Saix, well I struggled for hours with his first berserk phase, even after learning the dodging timing I couldn't help pannicking because 1 miss was almost always a game over (and his berserk lasted a lot). Then I learned on a random comment in a facebook page that you could blizzaga him to stop him from restoring his berserk gauge midway through, and it became ever so slightly more survivable. Then I learned that he had openings in his berserk mode (didn't even know which ones, I just saw a random clip of someone countering him and instantly turn of the video to discover which ones) and then I found myself actively extending it as much as possible to get as much "easy damage" as I could. And his DM can go to hell :3

Hi Curtis, I was wondering if you were going to do a Yozora run? I really like your guide style. If not its ok thanks for all the help with theses fights. It was amazing. I just got passed them all except that crazy Boi. Thanks again!

Hey man, just found your channel today. I’ve been looking for some KH3 content like this for way too long!!! Thanks for creating this and the guide videos, it was extremely helpful, and you’re still much better than I’ll ever be! Thanks so much, keep making videos! :)

@Curtis Sicks How do you feel about Doom Eternal leaving tutorials before each boss fight?

i still can’t beat xion

Having only done the limit cut episode as crit lv 1 no damage i would place a lot of bosses in different order. Bosses like larxene prob took me well over 12 hours to beat no damage for example and bosses like dark riku or xion were more easier than others. Xemnas was definately my fav fight and maybe the hardest one cause of how drawn out it is at lv 1

Man I loved your guides and I followed your ranking order to decide which battle I would do

Xion was my first no damage on data lol (with pro codes) i actually find xemnas and xion to be my favourite boss fights, this ranking has made me way less nervous about no damaging the rest of the data bosses now lol. I honestly thought vanitas would be no 1 slot for his DM but i found a way to memorise his DM (2D7DDD3DD2D1 is how i get through it lol). These data bosses seem weirdly easier to deal with than kh2fm

Will you be doing a Yozora fight guide

If you were to put yozora on that list where would you put him?

Where would you put Yozora on this list? I assume at number one, right?

Is there gonna be a Yozora tutorial?

Thank you for helping me with the data fights in Kingdom Hearts 3 you and one other person helped me do each and every data fight by watching your videos before I face them to get a general idea what they offer ironically I did data luxord without a guide XD
