{{Expand|create= BbS reaction commands}}
{{nihongo|'''Reaction Commands'''|リアクションコマンド|Riakushon Komando}} are a feature introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing {{button|t}} in specific contexts, the player character will perform a specific action indicated by the title of the command. These reactions are generally combat maneuvers used to gain the upper hand against enemies, though they are also used for more mundane actions such as talking to other characters and opening chests. Occasionally, some Reaction Commands must be completed in order to end a battle.

[[File:World of Nothingness Battle 01 KHII.png|thumb|The Sky Scraper Reaction Command as it appears in the Xemnas (Dragon) boss battle.]]
'''Reaction Commands''' are a feature introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing {{button|t}} at certain moments in battle (or occasionally outside of battle), [[Sora]] will perform a specific action, which is indicated by the title of the command. These reactions are mostly combat maneuvers that are used to gain the upper hand against enemies, though they are also used to talk to people and open chests. Occasionally, some Reaction Commands must be completed in order to end a battle. Only a select few Reaction Commands require the player to press {{button|t}} the moment it appears; in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', one can press {{button|t}} until the command is initiated, suffering no penalty if {{button|t}} is not pressed at the right moment. Only three Reaction Commands in the entirety of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' penalize such an action. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', pressing {{button|t}} too early during the execution of a Sleight prevents the attack from being completed.
==Non-battle Reaction Commands==
===Talk===
Used to talk to NPCs.
Sora can talk to his party members at certain points in the game, such as at the Altar of Naught in [[The World That Never Was]] and when on the ''Interceptor'' or the ''Black Pearl'' in [[Port Royal]].


Only a select few Reaction Commands require the player to press {{button|t}} the moment it appears; in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', one can press {{button|t}} until the command is initiated, suffering no penalty if {{button|t}} is not pressed at the right moment. Only three Reaction Commands in the entirety of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' penalize such an action. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', pressing {{button|t}} too early during the execution of a Sleight prevents the attack from being completed.
===Open===
Used to open chests.
Sora/[[Roxas]] uses the [[Keyblade]]/the [[Struggle]] weapon to open a nearby treasure chest. Unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'', this can also be done during battle.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Reaction Commands are replaced by [[Special Command]]s. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Reaction Commands are replaced by [[Situation Command]]s.
===Skateboard===
Used to mount skateboards.
Sora/Roxas mounts a [[skateboard]]. He then gains access to the following commands:


==''Kingdom Hearts''==
;On the ground
In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', commands that appeared in the fourth command slot have been changed to appear as reaction commands separate from the menu, and overlap with the party member command button. As a result, the summon command has been shifted into the fourth slot.
*{{button|c}}: '''Jump''' ({{button|x}} in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'')
*{{button|x}}: '''Heelflip'''
*{{button|s}}: '''Get off'''
;Grinding
*{{button|c}}: '''Pop-Jump'''
*{{button|t}} (near an edge): '''Grind'''
*{{button|s}} (while grinding): '''Handstand'''
;In midair
*{{button|c}}: '''Air Walk'''
*{{button|x}}: '''360° spin'''
*{{button|s}}: '''Method Grab'''
<!--If I got the commands wrong, please help rename them for me. Thanks.-->


===General reaction commands===
These commands are essential at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' when Roxas does odd jobs to save money to go the beach, such as [[Mail Delivery]].

==''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Reaction Commands==
In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Reaction Commands only appear during special event battles, usually when the protagonist is fighting alongside another character. Instead of using a separate, dedicated button, Reaction Commands simply replace the attack button ({{button|x}}) when they become available. Reaction Commands are also used in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' to open treasure chests and examine nearby objects.
*'''Use Transporter''': Transports the player to and from the Mirage Arena.
*'''Goal''': When escorting a character, such as [[Jaq]] or [[Snow White]], Goal ends the task.
*'''Avenger''': When party members are hurt, various Avenger commands can be used to attack or defend against nearby enemies with {{button|s}}. Avenger commands include Avenger Rush, Avenger Save, and others.
*'''White Calm''': When [[Ventus]] escorts [[Snow White]], trees will attempt to scare her by blowing on her. If she yells, "Help me!", then pressing {{button|s}} activates White Calm, which is a command that releases a tornado of light that picks up enemies and stuns them if they survive. It also stops the trees from attacking Snow White. White Calm is identical to [[Sign of Faith]].
*'''Last Dance''': While [[Terra]] escorts [[Cinderella]] to the ballroom, an enemy may attack her. To defend her, the player must press {{button|s}}, then {{button|x}} to activate Last Dance, during which Terra slams his Keyblade into the ground, creating a shockwave that takes out nearby [[Unversed]].
*'''Joint Force''': During Ventus's battle with Maleficent, she will attempt to put Ventus to sleep. To avoid this, the player can press {{button|s}} after Ventus reaches a circle of light created by [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]]. Joint Force requires the player to press the buttons that appear onscreen in either a clockwise or counterclockwise fashion. If this is done successfully, Joint Force can be used. It causes Ventus to launch a ball of light towards Maleficent that puts her asleep and deals damage.
*'''Selfless Prince''': When [[Prince Phillip]] is a party member, he will signal Aqua to come towards him, waving his shield and saying, "Here." After the player presses {{button|s}}, Aqua and Prince Phillip join hands; Phillip tosses Aqua into the air, allowing her to strike either a high platform or [[Maleficent]] herself.
*'''Astro Shot/Strike''': When [[Experiment 626]] is a party member, he will occasionally hop up and down with a white halo around him. Pressing {{button|s}} while standing next to him causes the player character to grab him as he curls into a ball; the player character then throws him his or her enemy. In the [[Gantu]] and [[Metamorphosis]] boss battles, this command is called "Astro Strike," but in the [[Deep Space|Turo Prison Block]], it is called "Astro Shot."
[[File:Swing Slash KHBBS.gif|thumb|300px|Ventus using Swing Slash alongside Hercules in Olympus Coliseum.]]
*'''Swing Slash''': In the [[Jellyshade]] battle in [[Olympus Coliseum]], [[Hercules]] will occasionally activate this move. If the player hits {{button|s}}, Hercules will pick Ventus up and swing him, but the player must also spin the analog stick clockwise to charge the attack. After it is charged up, the player can use Swing Slash, which makes Ventus rocket into the Jellyshade crowd, defeating anything in his path. Failure to spin the analog stick quick enough ends the move and makes Hercules flinch.
*'''Bronco Strike''': During the [[Lucifer]] boss battle, Lucifer may jump up onto a high piece of furniture and pounce. If Ventus dodges it, he can strike Lucifer and activate the command with the {{button|s}}. If the player presses the shown buttons at the right time while riding Lucifer, he or she can activate this Reaction Command which, causes Ventus to unleash multiple strikes upon Lucifer and stun him.
*'''Turnover''': In the battle against the [[Cursed Coach]], Turnover can be used when an attack is blocked. This Reaction Command causes Aqua to strike the Unversed multiple times, causing it to turn over and become stunned for a short time.
*'''Burst of Faith''': When [[Mickey]] is a party member, he may yell, "Let's team up!" This signals the player to get close to Mickey and press the {{button|s}}. Ventus or Aqua then starts spinning with Mickey after activating the command; they attack nearby enemies with rays of light. Burst of Faith grants invincibility, which is useful in the [[Ventus-Vanitas]] battle, during which the boss uses a powerful charged attack.
*'''Dual Limit''': In the final battle against [[Terra-Xehanort]], the Guardian may grab Aqua. If so, the player must press {{button|x}} repeatedly to break free. When Aqua breaks free, she enters a bright area where [[Terra]] is; the Guardian attempts to keep her from reaching him. If Aqua reaches Terra without getting hit, and the player presses {{button|s}}, Dual Limit will be activated. The player must press {{button|x}} at the right time in order to deal heavy damage to the Guardian. This Reaction Command is almost identical to [[Trinity Limit]].
 
==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX''===
In  ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'', the fourth command in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', which previously enabled actions and special abilities, has been replaced with the [[Summon]] option. Now, the player can use {{button|t}} to trigger actions such as '''Talk''' and '''Open'''. {{button|t}} can also be used to fully execute special abilities such as [[Strike Raid]].
