am I a failure if I can't beat COM?

[<Marluxia>]

build a deck that's specifically made for beating Riku. (I made 2 decks, one for bosses, one for regular)
Use 0 cards in the right places. If you don't care if the battle is long, don't use sleights. If you want it short, use sleights (need lots of cards for this).

uniquerave07 you are not a failure no one is a failure you may think like this because some people like to flame other people you just need some 0 cards a have faith in yourself.

 

[scubasteve]

yes, you are a failure...not really...but the KH series is the easiest game series ever.

No. KH2 is the easiest game ever. KH: CoM, ironically, is the hardest game of the three.

 

[Xiao]

ughhh i hated CoM. loved the story, hated the gameplay. beat it once, got what i needed, never playing it again.

using up a card just to swing the keyblade once? ew.


in that game, if you dont find the right strategy you're pretty much doomed. thats what i hated about it.

so, no...your not a failure. just level up alot and you should be ok...and make a couple different decks.

 

[Wallflower]

I think a direct, completly true answer is in order.

Yes, you are a failiure. You cannot beat a game made by three Asian dudes with a gay sub-character. I suggest you become Emo. It's way funner than playing these mind-tickling video games. HURRAY FOR CUTTING!

/sarcasm

 

[Truth's_Bond]

You're not a faliure. It took me a while to beat Riku's story too. Don't blame yourself; maybe you just have to gain a couple of more levels. Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be able to beat KH:COM. No, I KNOW you will beat KH:COM. Eventually, and hopfully soon you will. So don't sweat it. ^ _ ^

Okay, this, up above^ is good advice;
1. you DO NOT need to use sleights; they take up time while you're grabbing the
cards to use, and then Riku, or whoever you're fighting, pummels you.
its true thought that it may take a bit longer.
2. Zero cards are a key element for canceling out particulary harsh attacks.

3. Failure? i never had that much trouble~ I usually defeat a boss after the third
or so try, but its different for everyone; and if you don't play on your GBA
very much, then, that's partly to blame b/c you have to adjust to the
controls.
4. Don't feel bad... kh is a series dedicated to action battle systems, made
specifically for people with bad judgement in the ways of strategy; CoM is
the oddball, because it revolves around strategy.

5. If you don't like the options given to you by so many people out of redundancy,
or these options just aren't working for you, you could cheat and find an online
video with all the plot/storyline online, or you could turn in your game like Cho
Hakkai, at the beginning of the thread.

strategy is so evil.

Your not a failure! Took me half a year to beat it, and when I fought Riku... I lost to him 6 times, and then I restarted the whole game just to get to a better level quicker! Still... COM is hard! Its like the hardest game in the series for me.

yes, you are a failure...not really...but the KH series is the easiest game series ever.

No, its not! I've played games WAAAAAY easier than Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts is hard! If you think Kingdom Hearts is the easiest game ever, than you must have pretty complicated video games.

 

[soraskid]

your not a failure. i havent beat kh com but i have beat riku 4. im stuck at marluxia

 

[Haywire]

dont feel bad if you cant beat it. with battles like riku 4th battle and and marluxia it can be difficult. to be honest i barely beat the two of them with sweaty hands and a millimeter of health left

 

[necrodude]

no your not a failure it just means you need to find a system that can counter Riku

 

[Roeboot]

Which is why I'm such a failure with Final Fantasy games. CoM seemed a lot
easier. I'm surprised I do as well as I can in KH.

 

[xbindedmemoriesx]

If you didn't beat KH:CoM, you aren't a failure.
I didn't beat it...I hated it so I stopped [not even] half-way through.
And, um, I'm not a failure...so yeah.

 

[Crona Tronic]

grr... the only failure on this post was COM. I'll probably never get over it. Please dont flame or w/e but the cards, pfft. If I wanted that I would've played YU-GI-OH, gosh. Don't think less of me though, im not stupid or anything. Heck, I came up with a strategy to go up 40 (i think, prbbly more) lvls in one day. It's just, it was so far off from the KH way of playing. I feel the same way about that battle system as people do about having the FF battle system for KH. Just hate it lol.

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!

in closing,I'd like to say, I bought a GBA, gameshark, KH:COM last week, beat it (cheating obviously, but I just wanted to check if I missed something the first time I beat it) and brought it back for a full refund. XD

btw, props to that xblindedmemoriesx. I wish I could've stopped, but as bad as the gameplay was, I needed my much needed dose of KH back then.

 

[Monkey]

It even took me a lot of time. ^^ I got stuck about 4 times, and I actually didnt beat the game untill a few months before KH2 came out. I had to force myself because I made it a personal goal to beat it before the release date of KH2.

Keep working on it! =]

 

[Haywire]

thats a good strategy to make yourself beat it. i did almost just quit playing but i figured i gotta play it so more of the stuff in KH2 would make more sense(which it then did)

 

[Hypoxium]

I played CoM through twice. I beat that Riku Replica....twice....at around level 30 something....with little hp.......

No offence, but at your level he should be easy. Just try to dodge more and attack him at the right moments. This battle took strategy. I am positive that this is the hardest battle in the game, besides Marluxia's first form.

I've beaten the whole game without getting to level 50.

 

[HeartofDestiny14]

Oh yeah, I was stuck on the same battle forever too. You're not a failure! Really, it took me 2 months to beat him x_x. And my case as for the willingness to beat him is basically the same as everyone else, I needed my KH & I wanted more clues to what happened in KH2.

& COM did help by a lot for knowing what was going on in KH2, in my opinion.

But don't worry, keep trying & you'll get it. Equip a lot of 0 cards to break his special attacks.

 

[Hypoxium]

Is he seriously that hard to you people? This must mean i'm really good at CoM =D.
