How do you play Cecil?

[Khaimyn]

Can someone here show me a video of how Cecil fights? And Combos? You can post your own vids, or someone elses, but I really wanna see some good ones. I'm on Youtube right now.....

Check some tournament videos. A-ther/Aether, and Ghurdich are good Cecil players to learn from.

I myself use Cecil for BRV building, so I use the Force Begets Courage acc.

K, so, I'm not the best Cecil player ever, but Cecil is a huge punisher. His attacks are too slow to go on the offensive, so you have to wait until the enemy messes up for you to attack. Dark Knight's aerial moves can be used for some mindgames as well, but generally you can get a bit more offensive with it than Paladin, because Paladin's attacks take much longer to actually hit. Random video of me (because most of my Cecil videos are losses, lol):

Baku, Ghurdrich isn't around here anymore. D: Also Cecil's EX Mode bonus is too good to pass up IMO for FBC. But that's just me.

Oh, damn. If I have to be patient and block and punish, I can't play Cecil. I fail horribly at blocking.... Maybe Tidus is more of my character.

you dont nessasarily (sp?) need to block dodging works the same i suck horribly at blocking and i think im decent with him

1) Cecil has a very good ex mode and an Ex Build is probably the best thing
2) He is very very versatile and has a bunch of attacks that lead into HP attacks.
3) Know how to use searchlight (It instantly chains into Paladin Force) and Dark Cannon (It chains to pretty much all attacks on the ground)


Cecil is one of the funnest characters to use and has a wonderful VA. Id recommend him over Cloud anyday, but thats just me.

[Khaimyn]

Can someone show me how to chain searchlight into hp attacks?

[Slayer0]

If you hit with Searchlight (or know you'll hit), if you use Paladin Force while the beams are hitting your enemy Cecil will fly in and hit the enemy with Paladin Force.

Video, video, video...

He's versatile but he doesn't have a very good HP game, at ALL. Dark Cannon > Soul Eater and Searchlight > Paladin Force are both good but they're both hard to connect with.

What the... WOW o.o

also the fact that almost everyone expects it, however i think you should do dark cannon > dark flame since some characters can dodge out of dark cannon
