    They're not too hard, of course I had a lot of practice with games like Street Fighter back in the day with the diagonals. If you're having problems, use this little trick: Of the cardinal directions, tap the first direction twice, then move on to the next cardinal direction. Thus Aura Bolt will be down-down-left, Fire Dance will be left-left-down-down-right. Substitute two cardinal direction button taps in for one cardinal and one diagonal button "drag" and you should be able to execute the blitzes without any problems!

    Yeah I simply could NOT do Aurobolt at all! Then I found out that you can do down, down, left instead and that made it MUCH easier for me. I would never be able to do Bum Rush if all I had to use was the PS D-Pad if they didn't allow you to tap- left, left, up, up, right, right, down, down, left.

    I don't think it even tells you that there is an easier way to Do his Blitz's in the game. Naughty Square!

    I don't think Square intended for us to be able to do them this way.

    Rolling around the Dpad tends to work with occasional failures.

    The worst part is it doens't tell you how to do it, you have to find other methods (i.e. the internet) to learn the comand - where Zell in FFVIII actually showed you what to do, newcomers are left to guess with Sabin.

    It's always told you what to do. Under the Blitz section in the main menu it tells you what keys to hit for each Blitz.

    Isn't that after you've done one for the first time though? I'll have to check.

    Nope. As soon as you learn a Blitz it shows the details in the Blitz list in the main menu.

    I thought that the Blitzes were easier to do on a keyboard than on a pad. Consequently, I prefer to play fighting games on a keyboard than on a pad, and I have to look really awkward when I play in tournaments for fighting games like Street Fighter IV which is coming out soon.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    You don't even really have to enter them like you would in an actual fighting game- you just have to hit either down or left for down-left for example. Edit: Oh I see someone already beat me to it.

    It took me the longest while to figure out how to use them since I never used to play those kinds of games.
