anti-form is FUN when you use it on a ton of heartless and against some bosses but against a boss that can do a ton of damage (especially true for proud mode) it can be a pain cuz you can't heal yourself. the worst is when you go into anti-form against xaldin.....I'm not sure how I survived that one
Anti-Form, useful?

No it isn't, to be honest. When fighting heartless and nobodies, maybe, but against bosses it proves to be horrible. You can't use reaction commands, you can't pick up HP orbs, you can't use items, and you can't revert!...I once turned into Antisora during a fight against Xaldin, which was bad news. >.< I pretty much spend the entire duration of the form just running away so I wouldn't die.

O can't think of the name of the organization member at the moment...(Its the one with the eyepatch and the gun thing that shoots those purple bullets.)But it took me like 4-5 tries till i beat him. Finally i got the antiform and kisked his ass so fast! I was really surprised!
^lol, Xigbar. I know, that happened to me too, except antiform was what got me killed. I like antiform, but I can never get it to use its full potential. I'm lame like that.
yep. Xaldin (especially on proud mode) can go screw a goat.
I think Anti-Form is very useful. It just requires a different playing style to use it efficiently.
For normal enemies, the Anti-Form's quick attacks can effectively stunlock any enemy, and keep you out of danger.
For bosses, effectively using Anti-Form involves knowing the boss and his attack pattern well enough to avoid any excessive damage, massively attacking whenever he's open, and dodging the attacks at all costs when he's not.
There are some exceptions where this is not always a good idea, i.e. the boss battle against Xaldin, or Saix's berserk mode, or even Xigbar's... Freeshooting on this tiny mini-platform. But other than that, Anti-Form is definitely useful.

All this is true not unless you put in the cheat code to be able to use it as an actual drive.I have the cheat code but I forgot where I had put it at.
anti-forms so cool but yet dangrous....but then again I can remember that I only got killed say 3 times after that never died so its sooo cool
I love the anti-form but sometimes it has the worst timing, like when the guy in The World That Never Was who teleports and fires things at you (can't remember his name) turns invincible and fires at you for ages. I was anti-form during that on my first play through the game and died.
yeah, it's kinda annoying but the combos look pretty cool.
Perhaps most people here find it so bad because they do not know how to efficiently use it. Given an average player on normal mode who follows all the Level suggestions when entering the worlds (i.e. is at Lvl50 when he enters The World That Never Was), most bosses require mostly button mashing (either X or O, depending on your region), with the occasional Curaga spell thrown in in between (which is way too wide-ranged and strong in KH2... it was nicer in KH1, where you actually had to cast it every few seconds if you were getting owned, but that's just my opinion), and maybe one or two moments where the player goes "OMG, mai draiv gaaage iz at Lvl3! Maibeh I shud switch to dat UBER PWNAGE VALOR FORM an do EVEN MOAR BATTON MESHING" (hope you can decipher this).
However, if you practice a bit, and learn how to use Anti-Form the way it is, you will find out that it can be used effectively. It just might require a change of tactics, i.e. from "spam Reflega until everything is nuked" to "run in, pull off a short combo, retreat and dodge, then attack again". Anti-Form is a challenge, and a sort of emergency brake for Form Change spammers. View it that way, and you'll sooner or later understand how to properly use it.
That said, I believe Anti-Form on Proud Mode (and Critical Mode on KH2:FM+) must be a total killer. For the player that is. Damage on those levels is already high, and doubling it by switching into Anti-Form is probably an instant death sentence, especially Saix's berserk mode. So yes, it's probably pretty much in the way there. On the other hand, if you have played on proud mode and then switch back to normal mode and find yourself in Anti-Form, you should have no problems dealing with it, as you should by then have a feeling for it.
