How do you play Cecil?

[Khaimyn]

I'm having huge trouble landing the searchlight > paladin force. Dark cannon > Dark flame is really good, but yeah. SL> Paladin Force/Arts thing is hard. Any help on that?

[Slayer0]

You pretty much have to predict that SL is going to hit. It's a pain, but it's his only ranged attack as a Paladin, so...

EDIT: And now looking back Dark Cannon > Soul Eater does moar damage. o.o

[Shadow0x0cloud]

it does more damage, but no one i have faced has ever escaped from dark cannon > dark flame whereas dark cannon > soul eater can be dodged out of

[Slayer0]

Really? I've never had anyone dodge out of Soul Eater except in extreme lag.

[Morbidust]

Oh, how I wish I could upload a vid I have of my cecil up against my friends Kefka.

Really? I've never had anyone dodge out of Soul Eater except in extreme lag.

well, all the computers ive faced in blackjack have dodged out of it, it maybe because computers respond really fast

[Spike]

There are also people who have extreme timing with tha combo. I have never landed that combo against my friends...

Here's just a random battle I made, it displays a bit of my strategy, normally I change jobs in EX Mode to change my BRV combos, but I don't usually keep my strategy.

[Proximately]

When I play with Cecil I tend to combine bravery attacks in order to bring the enemy close, wait for landinglag or braverylag and then HP attack. I also use Dark Flame to keep my enemies on their toes. Also, the wonderful combo when switching from Dark Knight to Paladin in the air is something I love in tight quarters.
