Dissidia Final Fantasy (US): Firion(53) vs. Exdeath(93)

wat a great combo there

[Jyakotu]

Woah, not a lot of videos of people using Firion in his alternate costume.

[XerBlade]

Really? I don't watch a lot of Dissidia videos, so I wouldn't know. Actually, basically all the Dissidia videos I've seen floating around seem to be the typical ones based around the overrated characters from 7-10.

I use Firion's alternate costume mainly because of the red in it.

Not that I want to be a dick, but you spammed the same Double Trouble combo all over again during the match.

[XerBlade]

And you wanted me to close-range an opponent with obviously superior power with every attack in the book just to show off (like I usually do in my fighting game demonstration videos, just without the superior-powered opponent part)?

If I really wanted to cheese my way through, I could've equipped Magic Pot, let him get a Break on me plus his Ifrit (auto), used my summon, and 1HKO'd him. But that would've defeated the purpose.

[xlalule]

That would've been far more interesting to watch, though.

[XerBlade]

The point I was trying to make here is that the AI does not have the capacity to learn or a random variable, as a human player would have. Notice doing the same attack in the same way over and over works every time, and the AI never figures out a way to get around it. The AI works in very strict patterns, so, by taking into account what you are doing at what kind of range in what situation you can always expect the AI to do exactly the same thing in response. You can toy with them like dolls.

Not Nasu related huh?

Using the character with tons of weapons...whitish hair, and has a bow and arrow...

Archer much?

[XerBlade]

I said not DIRECTLY related to Nasu. ^_^

He's my favorite character because he's basically Archer, Haseo, and Vash all rolled into one.

[Cypher0120]

Wouldn't Bartz be slightly more like Archer? I mean, he is a Faker too.

[XerBlade]

For one thing, he doesn't have the Haseo and Vash aspect as well, so who cares, but still... no, just no. Butz, besides being about the least interesting Final Fantasy character ever to be given a personality (there was a good reason his game originally didn't get ported to the US [there's also a good reason for FF2, but, luckily, Firion is next to nothing like his original, paper-thin self]), all he does is copy entire moves from others, and he doesn't have grit or GAR overall.

[XerBlade]

This is interesting timing, though, as I was just planning on adding a bit to this when I got back home.

In addition to those bits, this new DFF Firion (who again, like all the first 3 parters, is almost nothing like his original base) also fires weapons off of his bow (Archer's signature move).

And compare his victory quote that just happened to show up on this instance with the famous: "I have no regrets. This is the only path. My whole life was unlimited blade works."

[XerBlade]

Also, his lines during his EX Burst, minus the part in the middle where he just names off all the weapon types he uses, are pretty dang close to Archer's lines during his Holy Grail Burst EX Attack (which in his sole case the name doesn't even fit) in Fate/Unlimited Codes, and both are moves similar in basic nature (hailing down multiple weapons on the enemy in rapid succession [as opposed to Butz, who just slowly does normal slashes several times in a row]).
