A '''Reaction Command''' is a feature introduced in [[Kingdom Hearts II]], intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing the triangle button 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; if you cannot press the button at the right moment, you will suffer no penalty by rapidly pressing triangle until the command is initiated. There is only one command in the entire game that requires you to react in time.

Revision as of 16:26, 9 January 2009

A Reaction Command is a feature introduced in Kingdom Hearts II, intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing the triangle button 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; if you cannot press the button at the right moment, you will suffer no penalty by rapidly pressing triangle until the command is initiated. There is only one command in the entire game that requires you to react in time.

Non-Battle Reaction Commands

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. One instance is at the Altar of Naught in The World That Never Was.

Open

Sora or Roxas uses the Keyblade and/or the Struggle weapon to open chests.

Skateboard

Mount or dismount a skateboard.

In-battle Reaction Commands

Nobodies/Organization XIII

Reversal

Used against: Dusk, Creeper, Twilight Thorn, or Xemnas

Dispel

  • Sora strikes the lexicon Zexion is hiding in, freeing himself from the illusionary arena.
Dispel is also available to use against Shaman, albeit only in the Pride Lands. The Command appears when a series of blue flames attack and encircle Sora, and Dispel allows Sora to use them against his enemies.
Used against: Zexion

Show Stealer

  • Show Stealer is available during the second battle against Demyx in Hollow Bastion. The Command appears when Demyx jumps towards Sora and attempts to launch him into the air. If Show Stealer is activated, Sora stands behind Demyx and holds his Keyblade in a guitar-like fashion before hitting Demyx, therefore interrupting his attacks and forcing him away.
Used against: Demyx

Rob Count

  • Sora evades Marluxia's slash and pulls up his scythe with the Keyblade. After gaining control, Sora throws the scythe towards Marluxia, damaging him and earning back his count down numerals.
