Luxord fight...

[WhateverWorks]

I don't remember this fight being so problematic? As in I recall getting it on the first try every time I've played in the past. I just tried like 20 times and am having no luck. Fight goes the same way every time. He turns me to cube, eventually I turn back, I knock out most of his timer, then he turns me back into a cube. He also completely stops attacking or doing anything once I'm turned into a dice the second time.

Does the minigame require that you get 4 O's now or something? The message says it can be either.

Four Os are required to pass the desperation move. However, if you fail and survive, you can just deplete his Time meter by usual means

Yeah, you just get the 4 0's and then use thunder on him afterwards to kill him. I remember YYEEEEAARRSS ago on the PS3 thinking that it was random... but it's not. each of them have their own unique timing. during that time I didn't pay attention to that sort of thing but felt super r*tarded afterwards.

It was definitely a face-palm moment for me because I think I spent about the same time against him as I did with data Roxas. nowadays I can practically beat him with my eyes closed. I had a blast playing this game for the millionth time and hope to see it again on some future platform.

See that's how I remember it, but that isn't what's happening. Even if his timer is brought to zero, if he turns me into a dice then he doesn't die and just stands there until my timer runs out even if his is already gone. idk, starting to wonder if my save is somehow bugged but gonna try again tonight.

Did you use a finisher move, spell, or square move after the timer ran out?

I got it on the second try today, I think I was just entirely too tired to do it yesterday. Probably going to skip all the data fights though, just gonna do the paradox cups, Sephiroth, and Lingering Will. I think I was just getting hit with the dice spell the 2nd time while not having enough timer left to ride it out.
