KH2FM - Roxas Data (Level 1, No Damage/Magic/Drive/etc.)

Ah, the last of the Org. XIII data battles. This should be a pretty straightforward fight, but looping him without Reflega isn't 100% effective. By the way, this battle is super boring. Sorry about that.

Here are the restrictions:

No Damage
No Magic
No Drive
No Limits
No Summons
No Items
No Armor
No Accessories
No Stat Boosts

The basic strategy is to loop him in this fight. To do this, start by guarding his attack at the beginning of the fight, then do a hit (x4)+Guard Break combo. Stand close to (but not right next to) him while he recovers, then Guard to block his counterattack. He can counter with three different moves. One is the one he started the fight with. It won't connect with your safety Guard, but you'll have enough to use Guard again and block the attack. His second move is a series of slashes, with a finishing dash attack. Guard twice to block the initial slashes, wait for him to jump back charge up, then Guard to stun him.

He's vulnerable after both these attacks, so get him in a combo again and continue this pattern. His third attack will only occur if you're too far away from him. It's a jump attack, and won't connect with your initial Guard, so Dodge Roll out of the way and wait for him to stop and unleash another attack. If it's the jump attack again, just avoid it and wait until he uses one of the other two moves. Once he does, Guard the attack and continue with the above pattern.

Once he's lost about 4 1/4 bars of HP, he'll start sending out light pillars with his moves. The loop still works fine, but you'll have to stay the perfect distance from him so light pillars don't accidentally smack into you. If he does his charge-up attack, back up a bit before you Guard so his physical attack hits your Keyblade before the light pillar does. Then just continue with the loop.

I mentioned at the beginning that this strategy isn't 100% efficient. That's because, when he uses his multiple slash move, sometimes he'll spawn a light pillar either in front of you or right on top of you, killing you instantly. It's a pain, yeah, but it's the only way I know how to do this.

In his third form, he'll send out light pillars when he moves, but if you continue the loop he shouldn't ever move. If he does, you'll have to try and Dodge Roll the pillars and wait for an opening.

There are a few moves he shouldn't use if you do this right, but here they are anyways:

Spinning Keyblades: Roxas moves at high speeds through the air and tries to smack you with his Keyblades. This can be Guarded, except for the last attack of the DM version of the move, which has to be Dodge Rolled.

Light Orbs: Roxas goes to the center and shoots light at you. Just Glide around the arena to avoid them.

Slo-mo Clash: A small scene occurs and all command slots are replaced with question marks. After a couple seconds, one will will change to The End. Select it in time to steal Roxas's Keyblades. Dodge Roll forward immediately after and get one combo in. After that, just Dodge Roll all his light pillars until he decides to steal them back. Use the Reversal command to avoid taking damage, then resume the loop. If you don't select The End in time, Roxas will slice through you and you'll die (at level 1, anyway).

If you just continue the loop, he'll go down eventually.
