For sure. I'm just remembering my first KH run. I did it on proud and don't even remember how many times I died to Ursula. Until I thought of equipping those thundaga bands..
My CoM progress is going well, I died to Marluxias final form like an idiot, but other than that it's all good.
I have another incoming curiosity. What is Marluxias power? I remember it saying Flowers somewhere, but I don't know if you can classify "Flower" as power, unless you're a hippy and love flower power. I always connected it with the analogy of the rose, Looks pretty to hide the thorns. Marluxia pretends to work with the organization only to be one of it's biggest traitors. Marluxia has a copy of himself running around doing battles for him. And he hides Namine and uses her to get Sora to take down Axel. So it kind of seems that by "flowers" they could have meant deceit. I don't know, anyone got other ideas?
The symbolism surrounding it would seem to fit. According to this wiki, flowers are indeed his power (it's listed under Abilities).
