Limit: Difference between revisions

'''Limits''' are special attacks in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Available only when a certain character is in the party and the appropriate ability is equipped, Limits enable the player and that party member to initiate devastating combo attacks at the cost of all Sora's MP. Limits can be performed from the command menu, or through the Reaction Command if the party member with the Limit ability has the Auto-Limit ability equipped also. Limits cannot be used while Sora is in [[Drive Form]].

Upon activating a Limit, the other character in the party besides Sora and the party member performing the Limit vanishes, and the two remaining unleash a powerful attack. For a short time after activating the Limit, the player and the other character performing the Limit are invincible, and a Limit Meter appears in the upper-right; until the Meter is depleted, the player can initiate a series of powerful attacks using Sora and the other party member, leading up to a final attack that is even more powerful after the other attacks have been used enough times.

Limits are generally more effective against monsters than boss characters, as the Limit pulls the monsters towards the player and therefore damages them more. Some limits (e.g. Eternal Session, Trinity Limit) allow Sora to move freely, while most others (Treasure Isle, Complete Compliment) restrict movement. Limits also count as finishers, allowing them to defeat bosses.

'''Limit Breaks''' are special attacks in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. They are available when the hp of the character goes down to the yellow bar of the health bar. Once the hp is at the yellow bar, the player must hold the A button down to activate it. This will allow the character to deal massive damage for a while. Lower hp will allow the player to use the limit longer. Using it will lower the yellow bar, needing the player to lose more hp to use it. Once the mission is over, the yellow bar will be recharged automatically.

===Main Party Members===

 

 

:'''Trinity''' - Activated by equipping the "Trinity Limit" ability, it is perhaps the most powerful Limit technique alongside "Eternal Session". After being activated, Sora, Donald and Goofy can each execute a special move. Sora slashes enemies rapidly using the Keyblade, Donald uses ''Ultima'' to heavily damage all enemies nearby, and Goofy uses ''Major Drive'' to shoot Drive Orbs at enemies. Each of these special techniques can only be performed once during the Limit. The finishing move is ''Combo'', in which the three put their weapons together and create a field of magical energy that heavily damages all enemies while sweeping them into the air (if you're fighting a boss, he/she will stay grounded).<br /><br />''Ultima'', ''Major Drive'' and ''Combo'' can only be activated if both Goofy and Donald are in the party. If only one or neither of them is with Sora, the Limit will be executed but no special abilities will be gained - Sora will perform an extremely rapid combo attack with the Keyblade by using the [[Reaction Command]] Break, although he is still invincible while the Limit bar is active. He can do this roughly three times before the limit ends. Despite its dampened power this way, this Limit is the only one that can be activated by Sora alone, making it useful for solo battles.

 

 

:'''Comet''' - Activated by equipping the "Fantasia" ability. Donald attacks an enemy with blasts of magical energy, knocking them into the air. The finishing move is ''Comet Rain'', where Donald slams his staff downwards and calls forth a ring of energy around him, damaging many enemies. While the Limit attack is active, Donald follows Sora around in a bubble of magical energy.

 

 

 

 

 

Each world-specific character has a special Limit that s/he can perform. In each of them, Sora and the other party member can typically perform one of two abilities, depending on if Sora uses the Attack command, or the Reaction command. It is possible to press both buttons at the same time repeatedly for a more effective results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

:'''Speedster''' - Activated by equipping the "Trick Fantasy" ability. The Limit begins by having Aladdin draw his sword, the screen goes black as a series of slash marks and exclamation points go off, and when the scene reappears Aladdin leans on Sora's shoulder as enemies are damaged. Afterwards, ''Quickplay'' causes either Sora or Aladdin (depend on if the Attack or Reaction command is used) to leap towards enemies slashing quickly. The finishing move is ''Trickster'', in which Sora and Aladdin leap up and touch their feet, then leap off each other. The screen goes black again, and more slash marks and exclamation points are seen. The scene reappears as Sora and Aladdin land crouching next to each other, and jump up to slap hands as enemies around them are damaged with large amounts of small drive orbs falling from the enemies and then being drawn to Sora. The amount of orbs obtained varies depending on how large the enemy is.

 

====[[Simba]]====

:'''Wildcat''' - Activated by equipping the "King's Pride" ability. The Limit begins by having Sora and Simba leap up and slam their paws into the ground, causing rocks to erupt around them and damaging enemies. Afterwards, ''X-Claw'' causes Sora and Simba to dash towards enemies slashing furiously, and ''High Fang'' causes them to spin in the air towards enemies very quickly. The finishing move is ''Proud Roar'', in which Sora and Simba stand beside each other and roar loudly, creating an energy field around them that damages enemies.

 

:'''Setup''' - Activated by equipping the "Complete Compliment" ability. The Limit begins by having Tron call forth several streams of data code around his hands, after which Sora flings the Keyblade upwards, damaging enemies. Afterwards, ''Burst Pulse'' causes Sora and Tron to call a field of rotating geometric shapes around them, and ''Cluster Code'' causes them to send out a wave of shapes at enemies. The finishing move is ''Reprogram'', in which Tron calls forth a circle of data  in front of Sora, and Sora slams his hand into it, creating several spinning shapes which fly around the air rapidly, causing heavy damage to enemies that touch them.

 

:'''Session''' - Activated by equipping the "Eternal Session" ability, it is perhaps the most powerful Limit technique alongside Trinity. The Limit begins by having Sora and Riku initiate a series of combos, then execute a series of quick jabbing attacks together. Afterwards, ''Last Saber'' launches a series of jabs again, and ''Dark Cannon'' launches a series of fireballs. After either of these abilities is used enough times, ''Master Hearts'' is used, and Sora and Riku swing their Keyblades to unleash a series of long-range slashes. Then, ''XIII Blades'' can be used to summon a series of energy swords to swing around them, and ''Master Hearts'' can also be used again. Finally, ''All's End'' is used, in which Sora and Riku throw their Keyblades into the air. The two weapons fire beams of light and dark energy at each other, drawing all enemies towards them and doing heavy damage in a flash of light. The Limit ends with Sora and Riku catching their Keyblades and knocking fists together.

 

===[[Summon]]s===

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:'''Ohana''' - Sends Sora into the TV screen and use three combined attacks, ''Ukulele'', ''Shoot'', and ''Blast''. All attacks are available to choose.<br>"Shoot" allows Stitch to use his alien guns on their opponents one by one.<br>By performing "Ukulele" allows Sora and Stitch to utilize their opponents and then release HP orbs from their bodies.<br>"Blast" is most likely to be performed before the Time Gauge runs out in order to perform more effective attacks, as the Limit ends once this move is performed.<br><br>While performing this combo, Sora and Stitch are standing in front of the TV screen instead of facing their opponents. While the Limit goes on, the player can use the analog sticks to move around and find opponents that are nearby.
