smurfing aurabolt why isn't this working!

most fun character to have in any Square Soft game ever. prove me wrong!

[blackmage_nuke]

LRL is Pummel. Quarter Circle Forward is Hadouken Aurabolt

Apparently when theres a diagonal you only have to press one of the directions or something like Down, Left, Left but it's never worked for me.

[Jowy]

i know!

blitzes weren't hard to pull off until the diagonals got factored in! and that never worked either...

[Slothy]

Down, down, left. It can't possibly get much easier than that.

Also, Sabin is a badass.

[CimminyCricket]

I did use Sabin in my party whenever I was allowed. :c)

[Hollycat]

Broken bear is broken.

[NeoCracker]

When you get him he's broken, but late game he's actually one of the weakest characters. :p

That said, he held up a fucking house because he's a fucking beast.

[Polnareff]

If you play a copious amount of Street Fighter like I do, all the Blitz motions are really easy. :jess: But Sabin is probably my favorite FFVI character after Cyan.

[Jowy]

Tigerfang x2, Regal Crown, and Red Jacket. Unstoppable like Cain Marko.

[Flying Mullet]

Sabin + Genji Glove + Offering = Much Love

[maybee]

The Figaro brothers are awesome. That king and Queen should of had a third son or daughter before they died because they were giving birth to champions.

[NeoCracker]

Really late game EVERY character can be unstoppable. :p

Though if I recall Locke can get max damage per hit before anyone else using the Genji x Offering combination. :p

[Flying Mullet]

Locke, Edgar, Celes and Terra have access to the most powerful weapons (without a Merit Award) and thus are the easiest to max out with.

I guess that's why I like working with Sabin to max out his strength when I play. He's a bruiser and is treated as such when I play with him. None of that pansy-ass magic stuff until very late in my playthrough where I'm grinding for the hell of it.

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

You think a minor thing like the end of the world was gonna do me in?

Talk to me when anyone else in the series suplex's a moving train.

[Flaming Ice]

I've only got past the first blitz once...the second play through I gave up :)



Even used the gamecube controller for it.

[Jiro]

You also have to mention the fact that he holds up an entire fucking mansion about to collapse.

[Mirage]

Sabin + Genji Glove + Offering = Much Love

But ultimately a poor use of GGlove and offering, because different characters can pump out more damage with it.

[Jiro]

It's not about what other characters can do, it's about Sabin being awesome. He's a bear! Rar!

[Loony BoB]

If you use Sabin right, he's easily one of the most powerful characters. Easily. Because using him right means using him more than anyone else, and thus him being a higher level than anyone else, and thus more powerful. So use him right!

[Quindiana Jones]

He has a move called Bum Rush. He has a move called Bum Rush. BUM RUSH.

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

I just wanted to reiterate that he suplexed a moving train while running away from it.

[Hollycat]

Zack fair punched a goddess in the boobs while running away from her. What do you make of that?

No idea what you're talking about, but me and you coulda done that too. Could we suplex a moving train though?

[Hollycat]

.... Goku blew up hell.
Can sabin do that?

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

.... Goku blew up hell.
Can sabin do that?

Sabin is just a regular dude, Goku was a saiyan.

[Hollycat]

cloud cut a skyscraper in half. Zack killed a god. Can sabin do those things?

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

cloud cut a skyscraper in half. Zack killed a god. Can sabin do those things?

If you use Sabin and a party of 3 dead people to beat Kefka, then Sabin kills a god. And Cloud used a weapon...Sabin held up a mansion that was caving in with his bare hands.

By the way, where are these comparisons coming from? This is a SABIN APPRECIATION thread.

[Hollycat]

.... Terra and Celes have boobies. Sabin does not.
However, I can still appreciate his skills, even if his brother is 20x stronger.

[Jiro]

Sabin has pectoral muscles that you would suckle on if you could.

[maybee]

Zack is a Gary Stu. Sabin is just a normal Prince fellow with muscles. And Cloud is very, very mentally weak. Sabin in Cloud's place would most likely shrug it off, because not even the end of the world could do him in.

[Flying Mullet]

He has a move called Bum Rush. He has a move called Bum Rush. BUM RUSH.
And thus Sabin Bum Rushed a god.

[Loony BoB]

.... Terra and Celes have boobies. Sabin does not.

Define strength. Last I checked, Edgar was most definitely weaker than Sabin.

No idea what Goku, Cloud and Zack have to do with Final Fantasy VI.

I've always gotten more damage out of edgar than sabin. I suppose if you got rid of the tools, then yes he would be.

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd get more damage out of Aeris than Cloud if I was Aeris was armed with a bazooka and Cloud was using his fists, but Cloud's definitely stronger. :D

That's like saying Darth Vader is not Luke's father even though it happened in the movie.

If it happens in the game it's canon you nub. :smash:

I'm in a Sabin appreciation thread, appreciating him. You're in a sabin appreciation thread, bringing up things that have absolutely nothing to do with him. You're right though, I'm the one that should hang up and dial again.

Hey guys, did you know Sabin isn't cool because Goku beat Frieza?

If I could buy you a beer right now, I would.

[Loony BoB]

Aye, let's keep on topic of why Sabin is awesome. =] From now, if it's not about how awesome Sabin is, post it in a different thread with a relevant topic. ;)

[Flying Mullet]

This morning Sabin woke up to the chirping of birds outside his bedroom window. 38397
Thinking today was going to be another awesome day as Sabin, he got out of bed and stretched. 38401
Unfortunately being so ruggedly tough takes a toll on one's energy levels and Sabin was starving. 38399
Opening his fridge to grab the leftover Vomammoth steak he discovers it missing! 38400
Whomsoever stole his steak must pay! 38398

[Jowy]

All life begins with Nu and and ends with Nu.

[Flying Mullet]

Godammit! :aimmad:

Edit: Fixed

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

Imagine you and your friends get into a fight with some dude. You have a knife, your boy has a sword, an autocrossbow, and a few other tools, and your other friend has a sword and MAGIC. This guy is straight WHOOPING you and your two friends with his bare hands. Then some brolic guy appears to aid you. You guys all get blown away, except the brolic dude, and then he hits the enemy with a few swoops of the hand and makes him disintegrate into thin air. You wouldn't keep him around for the next time shit goes down?

[Greatermaximus]

I like to think I'm unbias and I don't have anything against Sabin. I'd prefer Edgar over him because he gets better defenses in the long run and his Tools are obviously automatic.

I prefer spellcasters the most though. ;)

[Spooniest]

Sabin is the bomb, at every time imaginable except for one...


"Incorrect Blitz input!"AWGODDAMMIT

[Jiro]

Sabin is so powerful he could practically solve every problem with his fist.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I just wanted to reiterate that he suplexed a moving train while running away from it.

:monster:

[blackmage_nuke]

I think youre all focusing a bit too much on the train, lets not forget he can also suplex a crane (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Crane_%28Final_Fantasy_VI%29) a plane (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Force), and a brain (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Brainpan).

[Jiro]

He can Suplex a god too.

[Spooniest]

And leave us not forget, in Sky Render's version and in mine, Stand Guard, he gives us the immortal line

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

Nah, but on a more serious note, I always liked the "little brother that was considered weaker and then trained and became tougher than the big brother" thing. It's something I personally relate to.

[blackmage_nuke]

I thought they were Twins

[Jiro]

He's the younger twin

[Edge7]

As well as physically smaller.

Anyway, yeah. Sabin rocks. Not just though his sheer skill as a fighter, he's able to support a burning house for 5 minutes, and then laugh at the thought that a minor thing like the end of the world would kill him​.

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

I thought they were Twins

There were a few times Sabin refers to Edgar as "big brother" and Edgar calls him his younger brother.

"Your younger brother? At first I thought he was a bodybuilder who strayed from the gym."

[Jiro]

I think most twins have that complex where one of them is the "older" and I guess it's particularly reinforced by the fact that Edgar shouldered the responsibilities of being a King while Sabin was free to become the finely tuned destruction machine that he is.

[Greatermaximus]

The irony. Jealousy on our part for not being as well known as Sabin.

(Ehh, the cold hard truth)

[NinjaCoachZ]

Anyone got any idea how to pronounce Sabin's name? I've been saying "Say-bin", but what if it's "Suh-been" or "Sabbin"?

[maybee]

Anyone got any idea how to pronounce Sabin's name? I've been saying "Say-bin", but what if it's "Suh-been" or "Sabbin"?

Goodness knows with Square- Enix and how they pronounce names. Who knew that Tifa was Tee-fa, Tidus was Teedus and Zidane is Zid-Dawn.

Sabin is most likely to be " See- Bin " knowing them. :greenie:

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

I like to pronounce it as "Say-bin" as well.

[Jiro]

Say-bin or Sah-bin; either way he's still awesome.

[blackmage_nuke]

I pronounce it Sab (rhymes with crab) in (soudns like it's spelt)

[Flying Mullet]

Mortal tongue cannot pronounce his name.

[Futan]

Sah-bee-n I believe is the correct way to pronounce it. I say Sah-bin though.

[Flying Mullet]

From now on I will imagine I am playing Sabin in Contra:
http://www.nintendoplayer.com/contra/4.php_files/titlescreen.gif

[Jiro]

Sah-bee-n I believe is the correct way to pronounce it. I say Sah-bin though.

I imagine that would require his name to be Sabine tbh

[Futan]

That would be Sah-bee-neh, if we're considering the 'correct' pronunciation to be the way Japanese people would pronounce it. In Romaji, the letter I is pronounced as a hard E. Tidus = Tee-dus, Tifa = Tee-fah, Jiro = Jee-row, Romaji = Row-mah-jee, etc.

But having just looked at Sabin's page on the FF wiki, his name isn't even Sabin in the Japanese version. So this is all irrelevant I guess. XD

[Sephex]

I pronounce it "Sa (like saying 'sad') bin (like 'recycling bin')" because I like to think that Sabin calls his cabin "Sabin's Cabin."

[maybee]

From now on I will imagine I am playing Sabin in Contra:
http://www.nintendoplayer.com/contra/4.php_files/titlescreen.gif

Lol love that game. :jess:

Who would be the blue fuzzy haired guy next to him ? Locke ?

[Araciel]

It's a French name it sounds like 'suh-BAIN' but with the french nosy sound for bain.

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

Pretty sure this is 100% accurate as to how it really went down. Except it was Cyan there and not Edgar, but thats a minor fact.

Fighting the train in FF1 Dawn of Souls just isn't the same.

[NeoCracker]

It's beautiful. :love:

[Gu-fu-fu]

I gotta say, first time through, I did not love him, but then again, I was 8 or something, so that explains that. He's so convenient for killing large parties of enemies midway through. Fire Dance, Wind Slash, and yeah, I mastered Aura Bolt pretty quickly thanks to Street Fighter.

I think they are twins, but in Japan twins are not considered the same age. First question anyone asks upon meeting twins is usually who is older. It's all about rank I tell you!

And bum rush is priceless. Sabin FTW!

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

Sabin is still the man in 2013.

[Pumpkin]

His sprite is adorable, but his picture is ugly. I am conflicted.

this was in Minnesota!

[the_best_noob]

Does it mean Sabin is being a downer or that Sabin owns a downer and keeps him there for suplex practice? (C'mon, you don't flip a train on your first try)

Anyone have a Lego Sabin to go with this?

[maybee]

Nope. But I'm sure making one should be easy. :jess:

[Jowy]

go to the lego store! they have a big ol' bin of lego heads and bodies to mix and match. you can make as many as you want and get a discount on bulk lego guy purchases.
