===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===

The battle will always begin with Sora directly in his attack range. Just as the battle commences, Roxas will immediately use a variation of Whirlwind Swing that covers a large portion of the field, buffering the beginning animation while the cinematic camera is still craning behind [[Sora]], slightly before the player gains control. This attack can be fairly easily circumvented by guarding, dodging, [[Reflect]], or even jumping at the right time. If improperly evaded and assuming the attack is not lethal, the late hitboxes cause very short hitstun, but will push Sora very far back, making it nearly impossible to counterattack.  

After the initial attack, he will run behind Sora and use either Aerial Spin Swing, Whirlwind Swing, or Continuous Swing. Watch for the Continuous Swing attack, as guarding the final dash attack causes Roxas to stagger back and stake his Keyblades in the ground in order to regain his balance, during which Sora has multiple seconds to start attacking. When his retaliation point is met, Roxas may counterattack with Continuous Swing or Keyblade Throw on the ground, or Aerial Spin Swing in the air.

Roxas may use Duel Attack every now and again, and when caught by it, a cinematic duel between Sora and Roxas begins, which is very similar to the [[Samurai]]'s Duel Stance [[Reaction Command]]. Once the duel has begun, the command menu will go blank, after which "The End" will appear in a random slot. This must be selected within the extremely stringent time limit of 0.8 seconds. If successful, Sora strikes first, sending Roxas into the air and stealing his Keyblades. If failed, Roxas cleaves downward through Sora, who takes significant damage. Roxas initiates this sequence by dashing toward Sora, and it will automatically occur if he touches him. Regardless, the duel can be avoided by repeatedly Reflecting, or by jumping and staying afloat for a few seconds with Air Dodge or Glide, after which Roxas will switch tactics. Unlike Duel Stance, Duel Attack does not technically count as a Reaction Command because Sora cannot chose whether to opt into it with {{button|t}} and must actively avoid it, making it just as akin to Duel Stance as Lexaeus's cinematic grab attacks.

When Duel Attack is completed successfully, Sora will wield Roxas's stolen Keyblades in conjunction to his own. Roxas's Keyblades will react depending on Sora's actions, not just his attacks, such as spiraling around him during ground combos or piercing through Roxas from multiple directions during combo finishers. However, this may also cause Roxas to retaliate sooner as more specific types of hits are landed on him, so be wary. Eventually, he'll perform his Instant Recapture Attack and inevitability reacquire his stolen Keyblades, so while Sora has Roxas's Keyblades in his possession take advantage of the situation in a careful and quick manner, dealing as much damage on him as possible while avoiding retaliation. When Roxas attempts to retake his Keyblades, Sora can quickly use Reversal to escape his counterattack, but failure will result in Roxas knocking Sora away for heavy damage. Either way, both results will end up with Roxas regaining his Keyblades.

Another method is to use Limit Form and use '''Sonic Rave''' constantly; Sora will heal back the bits of damage he is dealt in between the limits, and do decent damage. '''Strike Raid''' is not advised because it puts Sora in a stationary position and has inconsistent invincibility frames; '''Infinity''' and '''Last Arcanum''', however, work wonders provided if Sora can connect onto Roxas properly, with the latter being exceptionally solid if Sora drops the extra Reaction Commands to prevent Roxas from reaching his retaliation point sooner than usual.

|Used when Roxas moves rapidly towards Sora. Sora's commands change to ?; after a few seconds, one changes to {{nihongo|"The End"|ジ・エンド|Ji Endo}}. If The End is selected, Sora launches Roxas in the air and steals his Keyblades. No penalty applies if ? is selected. If some time passes after The End is displayed, Sora is struck by the Roxas's attack.<!--Does this paragraph need to be moved in a separate table? Needs filling in the duration until The End appears, the duration between that and Roxas's attack, and the stats of the stolen Keyblades attacks.-->
