Happy 4th, to those of you in the States.
I am quite surprised I got this fight in one go. This is a very easy fight to die in. Admittedly, Hercules helped, and the fact that Pete's bowling-bombs are reflectable is pretty nice.
By the way, if you see Sora's running animation "glitching" around 1:40, that's because my left stick has a dead spot on it. Kind of annoying, but it was half of the inspiration for my No Movement Aqua run of BBS, so it's not all bad, I suppose.
Attempts: 1
Difficulty: 5/10.
FAQ:
Q: Why aren't you using the X Button?
A: To force myself to play differently and examine other options the game gives me.
Q: Why not Level 1 No X Button?
A: I'm not confident I'd even finish the run anytime soon. Also, I'd rather show something that most players could conceivably do without tearing their hair out.
Q: If it's not Level 1, can't you just grind to take away all the challenge?
A: Nope. I'm capping my level at the lowest displayed level of any incomplete world. I will also be fighting Absent Silhouettes at the appropriate battle levels. Except Zexion. Frick Zexion.
Q: But you used the X button shortcut!
A: Damn right I did. I'm restricting myself enough by disallowing the X button. It's really more of a "No Command Menu" run anyway. No X Button just sounds cooler, even though strictly speaking it limits me less.
Q: Which bosses are impossible without the X button?
A: As of right now, Twilight Thorn, Axel I, Boat Pete, Luxord, and Data Luxord are all impossible without the X Button.
This challenge run was inspired by Pannenkoek's A Button Challenge in Super Mario 64. Go check him out if you like that game!
