OMG- this is like my favorite part in the whole game- besides when they go to Halloween Town. So many good cut-scenes!
I, too, remember throwing down my controller and cursing at the screen after like my 5th time of dieing in this battle. I eventually figured out the trick, though. Dodge Roll, my friend. Dodge Roll...
Oh- just a thing I've noticed. It seems like everyone I've talked to used the Olympia keychain in this battle. I wonder if it's just a big coincidence...
And just a little off subject- how about that cut-scene after the battle, huh? I love it! (SPOILER)Donald and Kairi gazing up at the disappearing Sora calling for him as he goes into the darkness- while the awesome Instrumental Hikari plays. It just looks so dramatic and touching. This and the one before the battle are my two favorite cut-scenes. One thing I wondered throughout viewing them is- "Where is Beast through all this???" I never figured that out...
