No edit summary
(Major overhaul changing from list of all Reaction commands roughly categorized by faction to structured list organized by faction/strength.)
Line 1: Line 1:
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 22:14, 2 March 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.

Save

Access a Save Point.

In-battle Reaction Commands

Nobodies/Organization XIII

General Nobodies

Certain reaction commands are available between certain bosses and their respective Nobodies, as such they have been placed in the same categories as the Boss itself.

  • Fail-Safe
