Ok, I played this game when I was younger many times. I picked it up last week for GBA. I am at the scene where you first meet Sabin fighting Vargas. Sabins Blitz tech will not work. I have tried at least 15 times. Has anyone had the same problem? Maybe I need to clean my GBA control pad??? Please help, I am about to set the record for longest GBA punt!

OK, do this. Move the cursor over Blitz, press A, then input the Blitz command (left, right, left is the easiest), and then press A again. The directions in the SNES/PS1 version during the fight with Vargas were a little ambiguous, so it wasn't always easy to pull it off if you didn't know what to do from the get-go. Good luck.

Heheheh....

The CoN walkthrough section Mt. Koltz says to press right, left, right when its actually left, right, left.

i have the SAME problem. its not that we don't know HOW to do the blitzes. (we're not retarded, ok?) there is just a problem doing down/left and down/right

i can only do left right up and down. not two at once. i am using a nintendo ds lite. GRR @ blitz.

is there a way to change the command controls for the blitzes?

there is no way to change the blitz combo controls, but when a direction says down/left, you can make it easier by doing either down or left.

Example: Aurabolt has commands down-down/left-left, and i usually input the commands down, down, left and it works.

The vargas incident might be dirtyness, but i would check the button combo incident first, since that was what fixed me when it happened on my game!

okay the down down left worked. how do you do it for the rising pheonix move? would you do left-left-down-right-right?? haha

but thanks, my auracanon is actually working! hooray!

Slide your thumb (or other limbs) across the d-pad with constant pressure.

I use that method when using his blitzes, works most of the time.

YAY!

Finally, i got the blitz to work. It is wrong in the guide. it was so simple, lol
i still have'nt got the pheonix move to work yet. The GBA pad is so small.

i bought the game last week for gba, it took like 10 tries to get pummel down, i still havent gotten tougher ones like fire dance, suplex, etc.

yes i will still call the blitzes by their original names.

Bum Rush? No thanks. I don't encourage rushing of the Bum.


Phantom Rush for me.


(Try the thumb sliding trick, it makes Rising Pheonix really easy....At least on a Nintendo DS. can't say for the other systems.)

Untrue for the most part, since many of my freidns and i can't get it to work with thatr method.

electroCUTE: just us the rule in different ways and you can do any of the blitzes...trust me

Seriously, the GBA VI is soooo much easier to do blitzes in, its almost become a joke. Phantom Rush... Left, Left, Up, Up, Right, Right, Down, Dow,n Left.

Thats it! Rising Phoenix... Left, Left, Down, Down, Right... done.

Did they say why they added this option? Maybe because the D-Pad feels so much smaller on the DS im playing on, and while I cant say for sure, Im guessing DS Lite's pad is the same or worse.
