Kefka General Discussion

[Namida_no_Nami]

questions for an update:
Lickity Split Thundaga lost some range? or is camera effect striking again?
WWF seems to dissapear faster or is it just me?

[Cloud of Darkness]

LST - Lost some range, but is very fast now.
WWF - Better tracking, and I suppose the duration might be lowered... I don't really notice it that much.

[Spyder]

LST also fires off differently. The lightning columns increase in height with each interval (ie. second column is taller than the first, the third is taller than the second, etc.). It also tracks upward this time around.

I did notice that the duration was lowered, however the WWF appears to be traveling faster than before. However, take note that alot of magic attacks in duodecim got a range or duration nerf.

[Cloud of Darkness]

Ah yes, forgot that tidbit on LST's upward tracking now.
And I'll add that to the guide right now Spyder

What I can't get over is the transition back to the JPN Dissidia look for WWF and ECF. Unless I am crazy and have a terribad memory.

I'll probably get around to testing with Kefka once the game is officially released. I hate being constricted to only a few moves.

if I remember correctly, meteor comes out and rebounds faster without EX mode. In EX it bounced before chasing and could rebound in midair. Am I to understand they no longer bounce or rebound in midair in EX mode?

just going to say this has nothing to do gameplay wise....
But hes waaaaay better in this game as far as story goes and the way he walks and talks.

Anyone know a good Assist for Kefka?

I am, but with no equipment and my online still a bit facacta for the time being, I've been spending my time messing around with some of the new blood.

Basically, he's still the same, but a little quicker on his feet when it comes to startup and cooldown lag from his attacks. I'm not finding the buffs to the attacks I wasn't using before (namely Twisty Turny Blizzaga and Zap Trap Thundaga) to be enough to make me want to use them now, but the buffs to the attacks I was already using (LST, SSB, Havoc Wing, and the major upgrade to Forsaken Null) to be a welcome improvement.

Seconding Funky on the distaste for the graphical downgrade on his Firaga spells, though, but I suppose they had to throw something of a bone to people playing against him in light of all the buffs.

She's definitely the best fit, in my opinion. Throwing out Seal Evil in the midst of a healthy magic barrage really goes a long way toward taking away some of the guesswork involved.
