And all of the trolls should fuck off, this thread is for getting online battles going, not to ***** about an awesome game.
And FYI dont have a PS3 so I cant join you guys im afraid.
I just keep my friends card ready really, my Icon is Sephiroth (DISSIDIA) and my saying is "Pride comes before a fall".Lagao said:
Wish i could battle you, would be fun. Also can Gabranth learn any HP attacks that can be used before EX mode? I won't be using Gabranth, but it would be nice to know.
I agree with the music part it really worked well. Though when going through Inward Chaos, you know you have to fight the enemies with the alternate music from there game? Did you laugh when Garland said (well he says it to Sephiroth, don't know what he says to anyone else) "Show me what a hero can do!" with 8-bit music in the background.
Finally, the way i beat ultimate Chaos was a lucky Scintilla, with a super nova.
Awesome game! And not simply for nostalgic reasons, thats just gravy. The fighting and equipment systems are very deep and pretty well balanced as far as I can tell. A slightly steep learning curve, but well worth the patience.
And I will OWN you with Terra!!! (as soon as I gets me a new psp, mine got smashed *sob*)

The only way Gabranth can inflict HP damage outside of EX mode is while you are in chase mode with your opponent (you know that little aerial showdown thing). Aside from that, he is restricted to using brave attacks. The trick is to play defensively while in normal mode and build up brave and only do brief EX charges (tapping [] instead of holding it) instead of playing chicken the whole time. When i do that, I can built up a nice bit of brave, and then go EX and take out more brave to the point where when I do his EX burst, my opponent breaks and BAM!! dead in pretty much one attack.Spirultima said:
A lot of this is also greatly aided by equipping EX duration accessories on him. Hell thats all you should really equip to get maximum effect. When you're in EX almost 50% longer you can batter the enemy down with his more powerful brave attacks and just when your EX bar is close to empty, hit them with an HP attack and they are pretty much finished.
Yeah, i figured it was only in a Chase.-Seraph- said:
I usually play (As Sephiroth) the way Sephiroth would be, stand with the back to them and let them come to you (The reason WHY i do it, is because it looks good) and when they come close either a well timed Scintilla or a Bravery attack so usually i have time to myself (And if i feel like there never coming a good ol' level 3 Black Materia will screw them up a little. Just to top it off, i have Snooze, You Lose, which if the enemy doesn't attack for a certain amount of time, they start losing Bravery, and because i also have Concentration+, mine goes up for not attacking) so IF i played as Gabranth, i would have plenty of time to charge EX mode.
One of my favourite techniques is on Chaos Judgement stand away from them without attacking, getting "Coward's Punishment" and when they come close, and attack with either a HP or Bravery attack, I EX mode (Which blocks anything and knocks them off balance (If timed right), as im sure you know), Octaslash, Super Nova, always wins.
Its worth every penny, Kuja is the one who im currently training, he starts off hard to use, very few useful attacks and the attacks have small reach. BUT he is the only character (Out of EX mode (Its similar to limit break) who can Glide around the map) and Ultima, i've been attacked with it a few times, is quite a good attack.Shadowfaze said:
I'll give a few basic tips...Maeshone said:
The base of the game revolves around two types of attacks, Bravery and HP, the Bravery you have is how much you will damage in HP attacks (So if i had 300 Bravery, i would hit 300 HP if the HP attack hit), but after you hit the HP attack, the Bravery goes down to 0 and them works its way up to your "Base Bravery" which is determined by the special effects and things you equip...
Dodge is the most important thing you can learn, master it before you do ANYTHING.
If you can Block, do it, it knocks your enemy off balance, leaving them open to an attack.
Sephiroth to Auron would be, Sephiroth: Why are not yet a part of me? Auron: Two heroes clash...Lagao said:
Thanks, and to everyone else who gave me tips as well! Unfortunately, due to the slow mail system where I live, I didn't recieve the PSP before the weekend, so now it won't be here until monday at earliest... So no wasting this weekend on Dissidia... Shame, as it seems to be a really good game...Spirultima said:
blah, I never equip those skills because it just feels cheap and takes challenge out of the game. I use concentration on Gabranth only but I leave the enemy gimping skills like snooze and lose off because it just feels game breaking. IF you play as gabranth, have concentration on, but try to beat some BRV out of your enemy so when you do go in for the kill, you break them while bursting. The only accessories I have on him are EX duration items which give me close to 50% plus and items that have my gauge around half full at the beginning of the battle.Spirultima said:
Also the whole cowards punishment thing you got going is rather redundant since you can just EX while they are attacking you anyways. The the trick to getting gabranth to start tearing an enemies BRV apart is to EX while the enemy is attacking, it will stun them and then you tear them apart with retribution, dual rend, ect.. to the point of breaking or close to break.
Normally when i play as Gabranth (I'd show you my latest vid but I'm at school) I tap [] to charge and dodge enemies that get near. It's normally a dodge and parry routine where I dodge and beat them around a bit. Even when my EX bar is full I don't go into it unless I am suddenly attacked. The second that happens I EX and depending on if I am in the air or ground I use the appropriate BRV attacks. I batter them about even more to the point of breaking or close to and when my EX bar is close to empty I hit them with an HP atk and hope it lands. I allow some leeway though so my HP moves don't come out unless i am in a pinch or when the bar is at 25%. Gabranth is a character where you have to really balance your attack routines. Non-EX mode should be played defensively and be used to gain some "defensive brave" and EX mode is when you back your opponent into the corner and make them cry for mercy.
Gabranth and Golbez are my typical characters and I've fully mastered them so i know their play styles all too well. I adapt to characters rather quickly and currently getting my timing right with Jecht and Ex-Death who are complete monsters if you use them correctly. I'm warming up to Firion quite well too and probably will go back to cloud of darkness after I've mastered him. Never have i played a fighting game where it's actually fun, and that I am motivated to use every character. THIS is how fighting games should be done, encouraging you to TRY other players and making them all equally fun to use.
Personally, its a COM and so, I don't care, is don't spam, but i don't care about playing fair. My Gabranth is quite strong, and I have built him, quite a lot like my Kefka, quick building of EX, starting EX and also of course, lengthened EX mode.-Seraph- said:
It lures them in, into non instant HP attacks, and they come for you a hell of a lot faster, plus you KNOW they are going to attack so you have that knowledge to minimise Bravery loss.
I certainly understand timing the EX mode, I rarely use it outside of a vital part of the battle where I am being attacked, or making an end look good.
I can use everyone, quite effectively, know ALL there abilities, problems, perks, everything has become second nature, as weird was it sounds (!) Of course Sephiroth is my main, Golbez is overpowered (but its a COM, who is counting?) Kuja, Ultrimacia, Kefka and The Emperor are my secondary favourites. If I HAVE to pick a hero, it would have to be Firion, Zidane or Terra.
Square Enix (to me) made game of the year, and I've played every new release, such as Borderlands, Assassins Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2. They rounded every character perfectly, and making the player unable to button bash (to get rid of the pathetic people who do), but still making it simple to get on your first go. No game (unless designed by Square Enix) will come close to DISSIDIA.
Whoa talk about thread necro lol. My character strategies and builds have changed since my initial post, so my gabranth, Ex-death, and Jecht are unholy beasts of death. my Gabranth stays in EX mode indefinitely through a battle due to massive EX force boosting items and the handy EXP-EX attribute. All my characters and their skills are mastered now thanks to the AP farming trick with the right items and level 1 chaos XD.Spirultima said:
I love the game to bits, aside from the outright cheating AI at times and the dozens of last minute saves those pesky lvl 150's pulled on me just when the axe is about to go down. And it still has the best final fighting game boos EVER in the history of fighting games, nothing is more epic than Chaos himself.
I must thoroughly agree with that last paragraph there, I've sunk near 400-500 hours into it and it's still fucking fun. A fighting game that can almost match the amount of play time I have in some of my online PC games is obviously doing something right. So balanced, so accessible, so much skill a depth, it's mind blowing. Who'd of thought a big name RPG developer would make what was at first sight fan service, into one of the most unique and awesome fighting games of all time. it's a top10 game in my list.
