    For anyone who's wondering what Pluto is normally supposed to do, He's supposed to retrive some of your cards if you lose too many. Using a sleight will remove the first card in it for the rest of the battle unless you use an item card. Pluto was added as a safeguard if you completely screw yourself over. But considering this challenge only uses one card... yeah.

      Some other interesting properties of Pluto. He occurs more regularly when you have less cards remaining in your deck, capping out at 10 or fewer cards. Additionally he can, on occasion, find moogle orbs and hp orbs for you. If you create a 10 card deck he is most likely to find moogle orbs.
      But if you want to farm moogle orbs my recommendation is to skip pluto and either go to Agrabah or Holloween Town. In Agrabah you can use the Aladdin friend card, each attack he does will drop moogle orbs from enemies. And in Holloween Town many rooms have a ton of interactable objects that can drop moogle orbs and cards due to all the tombstone props scattered around. Special mention goes to the Treasure Rooms.

      Of course, Yugioh rules A. don't let you make a one-card deck and B. would cause you to deck out during setup if you tried. As opposed to _Chain of Memories,_ which just gives you a one-card hand and lets you shuffle your discard pile back into the deck.

    I recently realized how much I’d love to see you try a level 1 run of 358/2 Days. Mainly because, since levels are panels you have to add to your deck, not only can you just not equip levels, but every level you don’t equip is a slot you can use for something else like an ability or item. In fact, given a lot of challenge missions have level caps, that’s something to keep in mind even for casual players.

      I didn't used to farm out the rooms in my 1st playthrough so I was underleveled fighting him the first time
      So then I tried creating rooms in destiny islands and farming but since I didn't empty rooms prior to destiny islands I capped out on map cards so eventually every room I recreated I'd empty and for every, arbitrarily saying, 10 heartless in a room, I'd get back 1 Card, and sometimes it would have been a moments reprieve, or calm bounty, so when I got that I'd have to make another room and rinse and repeat, but the problem was, since I was so underleveled, I didn't have enough HP or CP to even fight the heartless efficiently
      So I cried and stopped playing for like 6 months
      Then tried a new game and i almost did it again, but I kept losing because Dark Aura was a bitch and I wasn't as good as I thought I was

      Playing the GBA version, Holo-Marluxia and the Ansem fight at the very end were so ridiculously hard taking me more attempts than any other boss oncluding Riku 4; then you play Re:Chain and find out that being able to move freely in 3 dimensions makes Riku 4 the only really challenging boss.
      I also one time got on a tirade to my friends about GBA CoM about how hard Ansem was years after I beat the game. My final save file was still there so I actually got the game out to show them my point and then beat him first try. That man took me weeks the first time.

    That sleight of Vexen's that has the long startup time is called Freeze. He makes the entire screen turn white, and if you don't Dodge Roll at that exact moment, Sora gets frozen in a block of ice and you have to mash buttons to break out. Marluxia's Phase 2 super-duper sleight is Drop Shot - he jumps high in the air and slams down, cracking the floor.

  • @RexcorJ

    Your notes against Riku in the last battke while fighting without Donald and Goofy remind me of when I first discovered that the bosses follow the same rules as the player. In the fight against Lexaeus, both on GBA and console, I noticed he liked using sleights a lot more than other bosses, and his high damage compounded with this aggression made him terrifying. After 5 minutes of dodging and fighting, he was stuck with only two stocked cards and never completed the set for a special attack, so he was down to just wild swinging for the remainder of the match.

      I don't even bother with certain enemies or bosses once I have the late-game Sonic Blade, Ragnarok, and Lethal Frame. Once you get Marluxia's card, the last 2 fights against him are basically walking cutscenes. My cheese against Marluxia 2 was as follows: Ragnarok (sleights of 9 work best) spam with Double Sleight against the first phase, Ragnarok spam with Attack Bracer until its effects wear off, then Lethal Frame spam (sleights of 25-27 work best) with Double Sleight (make sure to bring Elixirs and stock them with two 8's or 9's!). Repeat until Marluxia's nonexistence is revoked. 😎

    So if I'm remembering correctly, the reason slates are gone quicker is actually because in Re:CoM combos always come in 3s. When you use your singular card there's a delay so you have time to continue your combo.
    Slates cannot be combo'd and are considered a full combo in themselves which is why you can pre-charge 3 cards in a slate. The game has no reason to wait for you to continue your combo cause you're not allowed to.

    Rest in Peace Gamechamp's Tendons. It wasn't worth it, but it is still impressive.

    Your pain and suffering that you felt for each person! I felt that because I’m playing this game rn with a Regular Deck. The three I struggled is cage monster, electric girl, and the Dam cards running around with axes

    GAMECHAMP!!! You are simply incredible. I do hope that after you complete runs as gruelling as this that you do take some time for yourself. ❤️

    This reminds me of how I didn't quite understand the game mechanics as a kid and ended up having 1-3 cards at the end of most boss battles due to using sleights all the time. The only time I used single cards was to perform a card break. I distinctly remember beating Marluxia with a random Keyblade card, Cure and Dumbo. Since my combo started with the attack card, the other two never left the deck. Some time later I replayed the game and by then I could understand English better so I finally realized what I was doing wrong. Still one of my favorite GBA games as well as my favorite Kingdom Hearts game.

      Keyblade a cure and a Dumbo sounds very funny when said outloud.
