The Warp Snipe Reaction Command as it appears in the Xigbar boss battle
A Reaction Command is a feature introduced in Kingdom Hearts II, intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing Triangle at certain moments in battle (or occasionally outside of battle), Sora will perform a specific action, which is indicated by the title of the command. These reactions are mostly combat maneuvers that are used to gain the upper hand on enemies, though they are also used to talk to people and open chests. Occasionally, some Reaction Commands must be completed in order to end the battle. Interestingly enough, almost none of the Reaction Commands require that you press triangle the moment it appears; in Kingdom Hearts II, if you cannot press the button at the right moment, you will suffer no penalty by rapidly pressing Triangle until the command is initiated. There are only three commands in the entire game that penalize such action. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories however, if you press Triangle too early during a Sleight, the Sleight will end.

Non-Battle Reaction Commands

Talk

Used to talk to NPCs. Sora can talk to his party members at certain points in the game, when they are not moving together with him. Some examples are at the Altar of Naught in The World That Never Was, and when on the Interceptor or the Black Pearl in Port Royal.

Open

Sora or Roxas uses the Keyblade and/or the Struggle weapon to open chests. Unlike in Kingdom Hearts, this can also be done during battle.

Skateboard

Mount a skateboard. Other commands include:

On the ground
  • Circle: Jump (X in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix)
  • X: Heelflip
  • Square: Get off
Grinding
  • Circle: Pop-Jump
  • Triangle (near an edge): Grind
  • Square (while grinding): Handstand
In midair
  • Circle: Air Walk
  • X: 360° spin
  • Square: Method Grab

You will need these at the beginning of the Kingdom Hearts II game when you are doing odd jobs to save money to go the beach, particularly Mail Delivery.

NB: The commands for 360° Spin and Air Walk are switched for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

Save

Access a Save Point.

In-battle Reaction Commands

Nobodies/Organization XIII

General Nobodies

Used against: Berserker and Saïx
  • Magna Storm
