FFX Blitz Off

[LogWaft]

I don't know how, but I actually managaed to win that first game of blitzball against luca, I won 2- 1 :)

[TheBootinPiemanFukaz]

dam i was so good at this game id keep the score tied untill tidus got subbed for wakka, then made him score the winner

[rammice]

I could never win that fucking tournament, no matter how hard I tried. Any goals I managed to scrape were just elaborate trolls so that I can lose 5-1

[KagamixDiamante]

Dang it! >.<; I wish I could play blitzball in real life... To the pool, anyone?

[rwporritt]

The way I've thought how we might do something like Blitzball IRL would require a 0 graviational field. Can you say International Space Stadium :D?

[ForTseKe]

blitzaball awwww yeah i like it so much

[TheXXLethal]

Out of 8 play throughs of FFX I only won the Crystal Cup once. It's SOOOO HARD!!! I got so lucky. I never had Jecht Shot Mark 1 but I got lucky and hit twice with Tudus' sphere shot and I beat the fuckers. O man it felt So dam good. I actually thought that maybe it was impossible at a point.

[CasillasAlRage]

i wish i want to play Blitzball it will be fun too bad we can't breath under water :(

[KarmaKutKing]

@CasillasAlRage They can't either they hold thier breath.

[Frank44Costa]

@CasillasAlRage Break the fourth wall, and go grab the underwater materia from FFVII. Problem solved!, LETS BLITZ!

[cheea5]

My team was Tidus (LF), Brother (MF), Bickson (RF), I believe Letty (LD), Ropp (RD), and Miyu (Goalie). We kicked ass.

[Zebixo1205]

did fifa never think blitzball?

it will be awesome for the future :) but......how they can breath if they are on a water sphere?

[jojo60rules]

Omg guys.... They should make a whole new game like Fifa for blitzball! DIBS!

[Browno747]

i seriusly want to play this sport in real life...

[ZaxiD1997]

Blitzball is the best sport never made!

[NovaTrolls]

3 people sucked at blitzball

[adikkuchan]

@NovaTrolls I sucked at it too, but I would rather enjoy this song XD

[NovaTrolls]

@adikkuchan same here

[XxSicklyHauntedxX]

If only people could hold their breath for so long...then I'd so love to play this sport! xD

[Arrovvspear]

Ahaha 500000+ hours of playing blitz ball just to get that dumb ball for Wakka :P Its ok tho cause his hair is cool.

[hellkitten94]

.... i cant tell you how many times i play blitz just to hear this music... needless to say i got good out of purely wanting to listen to it.

[bobmcbob49]

blitzball is bullshit in X-2. why?

first, I try to make sure paine is insanely good at shooting, and have her and brother with teamwork

brother passes to paine

paine goes for an overhead volley

brother catches

brother takes the shot...caught

why won't she fucking shoot?

[SirFellfire]

kyou 4 fuckin evah!

[archias69]

i always remember a Letty's quote: I don't know how star player can stay underwater for so long.

Me: WTF You go in a coma when you play? O.O

[zeraju]

if only this sport was real...

[MistahBJD]

Needs a versus mode.

[Emofreezer]

I beat the Goers on that first try. Pure. Skill.

That and I pretty much ran around for the entire game, fleeing Graav.

[LozX100]

Blitzball is sort of like rock, paper, sisscor?

[RoxaslXIII]

Wakka attacks.

Jassu attacks.

Rin attacks.

Brother attacks.

Eigaar attacks.

Blappa attacks.

Tidus attacks.

Zev Ronso goes for the shot....

Keepa just barely blocks the ball.

Me: :'D

[GreenFont]

I really think they should have made a game just out of Blitzball, it was brilliant. 

[Potatoslice]

psh ya i beat them luca goers over and over again >:)..even tho the stat differences was cheap shit.. along with luck

[HyateRedet]

I still sometimes just get up, take my old Playstation 2, load a Savestate from FFX and play 2-3 Games of Blitzball...to reming the Past :)

[rorshachfan]

aaaaaah... the song of me losing... yeah.

[GenericName1450]

FFI-FFX = FUCK YEAH TURN BASED I LOVE THIS GAME IT'S SEXY

FFXII onward = Wtf is this shit?!

[BlueKewne]

@GenericName1450 7 and 9 were ATB and everyone loved it

[TheHeroHartmut]

@BlueKewne In fact, of the first ten games, only the first 3 and X were truly turn-based.

[StarDestroyer83]

they can Create 100 more Final Fantasy games. Part 10 Will still be the best of all!

FF13 LOL pitty

[WarKeybladeFenrir]

@StarDestroyer83 wow man! Thats what i think too. X was the first RPG i played with what i consider to be the best incarnation of turn based battle, and XIII didn't even feel like an RPG to me

[UptownYardy]

Love this choon brmgs back memories of beating the crap out of the Kilika team. If only blitzball was a real sport.

[Knoyes93]

Blitzball was really a creative idea, hope to see something new and exciting like that in a final fantasy again sooner or later.

[H1dden1s]

@qwerty5550123 yeah also It's about having a good team, i.e. getting the free agents and putting everyone at the proper position...I always had Brother on Midfield, Tidus on LF, Kyou on Defense. Also It's important to have Jecht Shot, because it's basically a free goal every time you can pull it off within a respectable range. I believe I had Keepa as my goalie, but I don't know. I know that's not really everyone's go-to choice but my strategy was all about just relentless offense.

[qwerty5550123]

eww i always hated blitz .. i don't understand how to play

[kinselator1]

@qwerty5550123 its brilliant when you learn :)

[BlueNailedJester]

This song gives me nightmares. Damn you Blitzball.....

[444Darklord]

@BlueNailedJester no its more like damn you luca goers -_-

[supersnow17]

blitzball is the best idea ever underwater soccer i mean im no soccer fan but if i can swim around fast BREATH UNDERWATER thats the big part and be able to do the jeht shot man id be playing everyday

[KORuthless]

@supersnow17 Yeah. All I need is to swim at least 60mph. But screw the jecht shot. I want the ultimate jecht shot and they'll sign me up.

[Kazumakiri]

Blitzball is a man's game. It combines soccer, football, AND swimming. But I still ask this question every day. HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY BREATHING?

[BrolySuperSaiyen]

@Kazumakiri They have those weirdsticks in their mouth...this sounds very....strange...

[darkwolf811]

What I did was I invited the over powered players then one by one introduced my old players back into my team. One of my players got invited to the fucking ronso's and I couldn't get him back!!

[MsChristinaFong]

Guys, there is a game like this and it's called water polo! =D

[michcool1012]

This needs to be a real sport. Now.

[DEXultima]

A Giant ball of water were the players swim in,they swim in it for like 90 minutes WITHOUT air. Thats just so cool. thumps up if you want to do that to.

[teespotblog]

I can't even begin to describe this song. What genre is this? :s

[MySpaceBarsBroken0o]

@teespotblog This song is filed under the genre of awesome.

[Tyronethegod3]

In the story mode you can play this game and the odds are against so most people just lose and move on but not me! I kept reseting the game until I won!

[Loz8900]

Man, the first time I played this game I had over 250 hours of just blitzball...And I was still at the Highroad! Good times....Good times...

[Irterrible]

i could never win T-T awesome game nonetheless ;)

[TheTGcritic]

I could have used commas....my bad

[TheTGcritic]

I had a cat i dyed him blue named him Kimahri and made him play this game.

He didn't survive very long in the tub. RIP

jk of coarse. great song tho

[rnbqw057]

この曲聴くと異様にスポーツやりやくなるわ！

[louie540x]

I pretty much never won at this game >_>

[obeith]

Opposition has the ball > Midfield Tackles > Midfield has the ball > Passes to Tidus > Jecht Shot 2 From wherever he is in the arena > Scores > *Grin*

[palindinX]

If you guys excuse me, i'm going to paint my Soccer half blue and half white then i'm going to my pool....

[xarab4lyfex]

Wakka, Datto, Letty, Jassu and Botta confronted Bickson.

Wakka attacks

Datto attacks

Letty attacks

Jassu attacks

Botta attacks

Bickson takes the shot......GOAL!

Me: T_T

[AlexSmashX3]

@xarab4lyfex You will almost allways lose the first match you play...

[xarab4lyfex]

@AlexSmashX3 na, i've actually won my first time, it's almost impossible if you don't have the jecht shot but with it, it's not so hard

[AlexSmashX3]

@xarab4lyfex oh...i had that and still got reamed...i must suck at the coolest mini game ever. T_T

[Epinephryne]

@xarab4lyfex ROOOOFLLL so true.

[TLYEntertainment]

@xarab4lyfex Because Tedious is missing lol

[toughgu12]

@xarab4lyfex fuckin keepa... lol

[hikaruhatake1]

TIME TO DANCE!

[Papadoplas]

wow! can't believe that Masashi Hamauzu composed this.

two thumbs up for the bass

[andregilfurt]

I loved playing Blitzball. And I normally hate sports minigames.

[goluigi10]

Never had Brother on my team...Didn't really invest that much time in blitzball after I realized that even your basic guys were contracted.

Brother; did he cost a small fortune? If so, it probably wouldn't matter anyway; I was broke on almost every playthrough.

[Guitarmaster7272]

Jecht shot kicked so much ass... i would never play this without Tidus leadin the way, if you come up to the goal facing 3 guys, jecht shot pulverizes 2 and has a likley chance of goaling even with the goalie and the one lowly defender.

and make sure you get Brother on the front lines, he's faster than a dick!

[nayr987]

I remember this game.. I had brother on my team he was a badass!

[LieLawliet]

The match starts now! Letty passes the ball to Jash! He passes it to Datt and he passes it to Wakka! Wakka throws and it is goal!

Luka Goers 0 - 1 Besaid Aurochs

XDDDDDDDD

[Willdog31]

I dont think the main problem is breathing under water, i think our main problem is being able to throw a ball great distances under water.. :P

I tried playing this with a friend irl, and when we threw the ball under it only went a few inches from our fingers xD

[XiHowlettiXGarekiXoX]

I was SO addictied to Blitzball. Truth be told I played it more than I played the story. xD I know, just so fun. I will never forget this game or this theme.

[killer09644]

Thumbs up if beat the al-beth? or watever u call'em cuz imo they were the hardest

[darkdragongirl6]

@killer09644 Ah, yeah, the Al Bhed. (:

I thought the Luca Goers were harder than them, though. Lol.

...Didn't really pay attention to the teams. Hurr. XD

[shanepinky]

Chocobo racing = 10/10

Blitzball = 10/10

Chocobo racing = Blitzball

[xAmazonxValkyriex]

Hell yes! This track was so awesome that it's sampled in Madonna's What It Feels Like For a Girl (Tracy Young Club Mix)! Check it out!

[youkh2]

Oh man a Final Fantasy Spinoff only with all the minigames, like Blitzball or Triple Triad. Fantastic, wouldnt it?

[TheHeroHartmut]

@youkh2 ...And now I've got Shuffle or Boogie in my head, too.

[youkh2]

@TheHeroHartmut Cool, isnt it? =D

[Julienfun]

Final Fantasy X: Blitzball Session

A game that would pwn EA Sports

[shadowwing101]

Chauzenoux, Good

[Prot4g0nist]

So scientists have recently created an artificial gill, able to allow a parakeet to breath underwater effectively.. If tested, and altered, it can be used on humans.

And there you have it, we're one step closer to having blitzball a reality! :o

[Remnainsofbattle]

i won 1 time in this game...ONCE!...never won again. damn Blitzball

[Firezone14]

JEHCT SHOT lol one of the best shots still in that game knock out 2 shoot for a goal

[NekooChan]

I swear I would live in Spira just to play Blitzball.

[xLightWave]

Lol I tried to play Blitzball in real life with my friend... and we failed xD

after 1 minute we had no breath anymore >_> and the ball was so slooow...-^-^-

[browno66greyfox]

Blitzball in real life <3

[Ocelot60]

@browno66greyfox I don't think anyone could hold their breath that long.

[browno66greyfox]

@Ocelot60 good point but it would be awesome if you could

[demonspawn119]

I think Blitzball won 2nd in Game Informer's "Top 10 Games Within Games". Should've been first, I may not be a big RPG fan, but I love this game.

[TheCardcaptorfreak]

I hated how the enitre enemy team could be on your ass when you had the ball and when they have it half your team is just swiming around do nothing.....Had to do everything myself.

[klenstroth777]

Imagine blitzball in psp!! XD

[bingbing12twa]

ARG I H8 BLITZBALL i couldn't play it for my life -_-

[TyBeast01]

I'm trying out for soccer here soon at my school... can anyone guess what FFX OST will be playing in the background at tryouts ?? 

[MetaKnight640000]

@nivek122333 Yeah all we need is an antigravity sphere filled with a breathable liquid we can move quickly and easily through. Plus the ability to create and survive the effects you can use in the mini-game.

[Physdelicdreaming]

@MetaKnight640000 ...with all the technological advancements we are producing today, I wouldn't be surprised if we could recreate something SIMILAR to blitzball. That would be awesome. :-)

[LiMeej]

once we develop breathing under water without any breathing equipment im sure blitzball would be a real sport

[IIIB52]

i scored 4 goals in my last local blitzball tournament. dont believe me?  Well then fuck you!

[DaBunnyMasta]

@IIIB52 actually, if you have tidus' jecht shot 2, you can get about 30 goals in one game

[MrGENOCIDEGeorge]

@DaBunnyMasta No, you can't.

30 goals = 15 goals per half.

15 goals = 4 seconds per goal.

It takes five seconds for the ball to get from half-way to the goal.

It takes up to three seconds for the keeper's Super Goalie tech to come through (if he/she has it).

It takes a second for the shot to go through the goal/ for the keeper to catch the ball.

Nice try, though.

[DaBunnyMasta]

@MrGENOCIDEGeorge i was exagerrating but yeah i get what you're sayin. I just wanna know how to get it again cuz i restarted the files. I miss this game.

[DreamstoneX]

Man, I lost the Luca tournament and the disappointment was so real for me cause I went into like 4 or 5 overtimes before losing XD I really wanted to win it for Wakka

[lugiawingsKH]

i always wonder why they made the aurochs out to be so bad, then you get them and it's like, wow, my best in the luca goers match is 4-1, next time i'm going for 5-0, both are to me by the way, most goels i've scored in a match is 15-3 against the killika beasts, that was a good match and the aurochs rule :)

[AnnatarYoung]

I love the fact that Nobuo Uematsu is such a fucking genius, he was able to write a piece of music that legitimately sounds like the theme tune to a real sporting event.

[drxwnedxwxrld]

@AnnatarYoung wrong composer

[AnnatarYoung]

@drxwnedxwxrld Meh, Masashi Hamauzu then, whatever ;) Uematsu still directed the audio for the game and as the tepid brainslugger that is Final Fantasy XIII's soundtrack shows, Hamauzu can't really do it on his own =/

Or perhaps that was just Enix telling him he had to be as boring as possible.

[drxwnedxwxrld]

@AnnatarYoung No

[PhoenixDown88]

@AnnatarYoung I actually think XIII's soundtrack is just as amazing as FFX's. Both are unforgettable - XII's was the least of the bunch.

[JumpingGinger]

BLITZ OFF!

[Dagon818]

Man, i just love Nimrook as goalie :D he's so badass

[hahaha2411]

i played blitze ball in real life its really slow......... and u need gear xD but i really suck at this in the game ..

[JumpingGinger]

@hahaha2411 of course, me and a friend tried in his pool and the ball kept rising, so we filled the ball up with water, and when we did, it went like, 1 meter for me, he was pretty good he was able to throw it 2 meters. D:

[oxygen117]

man this brings back memeries.... score 9-0 aurochs.... tidus, zazi, tidus, tidus, tidus, zazi, tidus, zazi, tidus lol

[IIfoxysanII]

tyed playing blitz ball in real life with some friends......not...my...best idea....

[tollboothjason]

Announcer: "Blitz-off, is won by Tidus. Tidus, up the middle, breaks a tackle! Passes to Wedge on the far side. Wedge, shoots! ...SCOOOOORRE! Wedge gets the early goal! 1-0 Aurochs!"

[TheLionFantasy]

Tidus:Jecht shoot!!

Man 1:Oh!

Tidus:yah!

Man 2:Oww!



[Deadpool948]

I hear this track to often for the quest to get Wakkas sigil:(! But it is still badass!!^-^

[midnafan132]

UGH I hoplessly suck at blitzball... which is why I'll probably never get Wakka's legendary weapon or his other overdrive reels... Any advice on how not to suck terribly at blitzball?

[Johanneswie]

@midnafan132 wait until you have the airship. then get brother. a good keeper is there where the snus are (wears a red armor). you probably don't need more then that. tidus and wakka are good enough. defense isn't that importent because brother is so fast that he will assist anyone

[Eragarev]

@midnafan132 I never really got the hang of it, either.

[Scaltt]

A phrase comes to mind when I hear this in the beginning:

"CHOOSE YOUR DRIVER/PLAYER!*

[Kocaz69]

i remember i played this.. beat once. I had so much fun and it was easy. I played it like 100 more times, winning every match. I got all the treasures. Even the item to make Wakaa do 9999 dmg at the beginning of the game. So every boss died instantly until like.. much much later ni the game when they had more than 9x 9999 hp. Yay Blitz!~

[Mespritroth]

I is proud that I beat the first match 2-0 :D

Tho' I bet people have done better :(

[Chauzenoux]

They should make a Blitzball game lol.

It should be better than fifa or PES.

[AmedeusMkII]

@Chauzenoux If they put a standalone Blitzball game for PSN and XBL, with alternate means of acquiring new characters for your team (beyond a boring gain a level, get new people, Call of Duty style bland pile of crap), I would buy it, even if it was $15.

[99Jaygreen]

@Chauzenoux Now that's a good idea, probably the best idea I've heard since the idea of Wi Fi. With these new graphics and gaming experiences, Blitzball would go a long way. Man, you got me thinking about it now. Create your own character. Create a team. Play online. Man, that would be my new NCAA

[goluigi10]

@99Jaygreen The idea sounds as awesome as Brother on crack.

Meanwhile, I'll start developing a ball that defies the laws of physics; floating and yet keeping its momentum underwater. And, of course, is waterproof. *Le makes it a legit sport*

[Fantasticifaction]

@Chauzenoux Yeah but it takes one Datto to beat an entire team... :(

[salmonking007]

best mini-game ever.

[Dstorm20xx]

it would be the best spn-off ever!!!

[AzureFaint]

@salmonking007 OOooOOOh yah

[770megaman]

@salmonking007 hardest mini game ever

[ComradeJon]

@770megaman it wasn't hard at all lol

[starblitzer1]

yea im at a rave disco

go auroks

[GeeYo07]

Learn the Jecht Shot it makes the Sphere Shot look scrub.

[Ragnamune]

Make that Jecht Shot 2 and then they'll beg for a loss.

[kutturkuttur]

EAT SPHERE SHOT LUCA GONERS!

love this song.

:D

[mar913]

omg my tidus' sphere shot kicked everyones ass!

[musikat2010]

could you post chocobo jam from FFX?

[ElrohirTiwell]

if ya need some good defenders for your blitzball team, find Zalitz in Luca south from the main safe sphere and at the calm lands that Priest north west near the end of the cliff (don't know name), for shooters, try Wedge, the right guard at the north exit of the main safe sphere in Luca, for middle field take Brother who you find in the ship, hes da best. Theres also a keeper with alot of catch in Luca (not goers), dont remember that name either but he has 15+ catch at lvl 1. hope it helps!

[LordBazaar]

thanks for da tip!

[Lamurza]

I love the Blitzball game and his musik , i am sad thet this game is not in the real world ....

[TheHeroHartmut]

@Lamurza Leaving aside the fact that it would be physically impossible, I concur.

[romeo812]

i kicked so much butt in blitz ball

[seytahn]

The power of this song is amazing in this game !!!! Blitz off !!!!

[MazeMan95]

i feel like im at a rave. awesome!!
