Keyblade Master Challenge 2019

Dean's restrictions:

- Level 1 Critical
- No stat boosts besides AP Boost
- Kingdom Key only
- No Magic
- No Limits (including in Limit Form)
- No Summons

And because I'm a slight masochist, I threw in:

- No Armor
- No Accessories
- No Items

As appears to be a super common trend, I'd ALSO NEVER BEATEN HER WITHOUT REFLECT BEFORE! LMAO

I basically did whatever seemed natural at the time through phase 1 until I got to the phase 2 HP gate, then I just Guarded and poked at her to bring her health down while she was split into clones. I did it this way so I didn't have to worry about a lightning onslaught when she was merged.

Then once the opportunity presented itself, I just looped her as you can see in the video until phase 3, where I continued to loop her, but I changed the combo from 2 hits + Guard Break + Explosion to 2 hits + Guard Break + Finishing Leap, then followed up with an Aerial Spiral. VERY QUICKLY after that, I had to do an Aerial Dodge into Glide to evade the 4 drop downs. I only decided to loop her because it was at least consistent if I could pull it off as the clones were giving me far too much grief over the several hours of attempts I subjected myself to.

I also didn't want to chance not dealing enough damage in the end, so I played it safe. If this fight seems similar to what CrispyMe did, trust me, there's a perfectly good reason for that. ._.

All that being said, I kinda hope I never fight her with such restrictions again. It was nice to learn and that'll only help, but I enjoy wrecking her like the speedrun strategy would. :)
