Pain and Panic Cup



The Pain and Panic Cup is the first tournament at the Underdrome in Kingdom Hearts II, and all of the enemies within are set at level 20/25. Likewise, the Pain and Panic Paradox Cup is the first of the Paradox Cups, and is essentially the same cup with all of the enemies levels brought up to 60. Both cups forbid the use of Drive Forms, but reduce the MP consumption of Limits. Upon completion of the normal cup, Pain and Panic put the titular cup on display in the Underworld Entrance.

Strategy
Sora should use magic against the Hot Rods so that he can defeat them while staying out of their range. If they start to run into him, remember to guard their attacks and use Counterguard. This will leave any Hot Rods hit by the Counter open for attacks.
 * Round 4

Although Sora only needs to stay alive for 60 seconds to complete this match, it is an excellent opportunity to amass points by using Magnet and Thunder on the Rapid Thrusters
 * Round 8

Sora cannot collect points in this match, so just focus on defeating Leon and Yuffie. As Leon's attacks are more powerful than Yuffie's, he should be targeted first. Once he is down, focus all attacks on Yuffie as she warps about. Use the more generous availability of Limits to his advantage.
 * Round 10
