{{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.

<div id="top">A '''Reaction Command''' is 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 on enemies, though they are also used to talk to people and open chests. Occasionally, some Reaction Commands must be completed in order to end the battle. Interestingly enough, almost none of the Reaction Commands require that you press triangle the moment it appears; In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' if you cannot press the button at the right moment, you will suffer no penalty by rapidly pressing {{button|t}} until the command is initiated. There are only three commands in the entire game that penalize such action. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories ''however, if you press {{button|t}} too early during a Sleight, the Sleight will end.</div>


==Non-Battle Reaction Commands==
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.
===Talk===
Used to talk to NPCs.
Sora can talk to his party members at certain points in the game, when they are not moving together with him. Some examples are at the Altar of Naught in [[The World That Never Was]], and when on the ''Interceptor'' or the ''Black Pearl'' in [[Port Royal]].


===Open===
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.
Sora or [[Roxas]] uses the [[Keyblade]] and/or the [[Struggle]] weapon to open chests. Unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'', this can also be done during battle.


===Skateboard===
==''Kingdom Hearts''==
Mount a [[skateboard]]. Other commands include:
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.

The Sky Scraper Reaction Command as it appears in the Xemnas (Dragon) boss battle.

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 Triangle 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.

Only a select few Reaction Commands require the player to press Triangle the moment it appears; in Kingdom Hearts II, one can press Triangle until the command is initiated, suffering no penalty if Triangle 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 Triangle too early during the execution of a Sleight prevents the attack from being completed.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Reaction Commands are replaced by Special Commands. In Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- and Kingdom Hearts III, Reaction Commands are replaced by Situation Commands.

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

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.
