Story
Kingdom Hearts
Tidus is a friend of Sora, Riku, and Kairi, and is a resident of the Destiny Islands, spending most of his time with Wakka and Selphie.
In Sora's 'Dive to the Heart,' Tidus appears in the Destiny Islands area along with Wakka and Selphie. His question, like the other two, determines Sora's leveling pace for the rest of the game.
Q: "What are you so afraid of?"
Sora can answer the question in three different ways. Either A) getting old, B) being different, or C) being indecisisve.
If Sora loses a practice battle with Tidus on the second day in the Destiny Islands, Tidus performs his victory pose from Final Fantasy X, namely, tossing his sword upward then catching it before swinging it to his side.
It is unknown where Tidus disappeared to after Destiny Islands was destroyed.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Tidus appears with Wakka and Selphie in both Sora and Riku's stories as part of the memory-based Destiny Islands in Castle Oblivion.
Kingdom Hearts II
He does not appear in Kingdom Hearts II, but Selphie mentions that he and Wakka are "All wrapped up in their ball game," which anyone who has played Final Fantasy X should recognize as blitzball.
Unlike the original Kingdom Hearts, which pronounced his name with a hard E sound (tee-dus), when Selphie mentions him in Kingdom Hearts II, she says his name with a hard I sound instead (tie-dus).
Battle Skills
Like in Final Fantasy X, Tidus fights with a wooden stick.
On Destiny Islands, he practices fighting skills with Sora as a way for the player to improve his level. During this battle, he fights by stringing together combination attacks. If Sora manages to block one of his sword attacks, tech points are earned. On the second day, Sora is able to fight against Wakka, Tidus and Selphie at the same time.
