For a good time, press R1

How good are you at using the gunblade in battle?

I get a critical hit pretty much every time. For the longest time when I was younger I didn't think about the fact that it was the gunblade trigger and just pressed it every time someone attacked

I think its fairly easy to get the timing right as the window of opportunity is quite large, even for the limit breaks. It is cool though being able to directly influence an attack instead of leaving it up to chance. Squall's pretty much my damage doer at the moment, so much so that summoning GF's takes too much time.

I am so-so

It's not possible for me to actually miss a gunblade trigger unless I am doing something on the side, like watching a show on my PC, or if i am extremely drunk. As said, it is a huge window, even for the Hyperion when you just get the timing right.

Yes 100% pretty much. I guess I'm silly because I press it for all characters attacks, maybe it's just me but i thought it increased their critical hit % as well. Am I on drugs?

[Mirage]

i suspected it did at first, but eventually put that idea away. I still press it though out of habit, makes it easier to not forget about it when it's squall's turn again

lol I was the same.

Squall's window of opportunity is pretty easy to remember. When I do miss it it's because I wasn't paying attention at that moment. Seifer was always a little harder to get right.

I can get Squall's trigger every time. There was something satisfying about hitting R1 and feeling the controller rumble that made everyone else's attacks just feel a bit empty. It was especially disappointing to me when R1 didn't work that way for Laguna, haha.

It's not that difficult to pull off. I find it a bit annoying, when you're trying to put in another player's commands, you have to stop to do this. If you miss this, his attack kind of sucks.

[Mo-Nercy]

Every time unless I'm distracted going through magic menus or something. Seifer's was a bit harder to time, but still quite easy.

I've found that the timing is a bit tighter with Squall's (and Ulti's) EX Modes in Dissidia though. Not to the point where it's a lottery, but just fractionally easier to miss one every now and again.

[Wolf Kanno]

Pretty much perfect everytime, it's not that difficult, now the demo version of Squall's Renzokuen... that was pretty nasty but still landing the regular blows was pretty easy.
