| Squall Leonheart Age: 17 Height: 5' 8" DoB: August 23 Blood Type: AB Weapon: Gunblade Special Skill: Renzokuken |
| Squall uses a sword called the Gunblade. This rare weapon takes many, many years to master and is therefore rarely used. Currently there is only one other Gunblade user in Balamb Garden - Seifer Almasy. With the Gunblade, Squall can use his special skill, Renzokuken, a deadly series of punishing attacks sometimes followed by a powerful ending move. In the eyes of others, Squall is a silent, cold person. Having this percieved image is fine by him. |
| Using Squall's Gunblade |
| As Squall attacks an enemy, you can significantly raise the damage caused by the attack by pressing the R1 button just before he makes contact. The timing is tricky at first, but soon it will become second nature. A good audio clue is to listen for the swipe of Squall's Gunblade. When you hear it press R1. This can also be used to enhance Seifer's Gunblade attacks at the begining of the game. |
| Squall's Limit Break: Renzokuken |
| The Renzokuken is a series of Gunblade attacks that cause big damage. When the Limit Break begins, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. As the light moves across the bar, press R1 when the light enters the small box near the end. Pressing R1 at the right time results in a much stronger attack. If you miss, Squall will still attack, but the attack will be much weaker. This function can be set to Auto in Squall's Status Screen if your not comfortable with pressing R1. You can also turn off the indicator box, and attempt to press R1 at the proper time without the indicators assistance. At the end of Squall's Renzokuken, an ending attack will sometimes randomly occur. There are four possible ending attacks. Which ending attacks Squall can perform depend upon the weapon he's carrying at that time. Rough Divide Squall finishes his Limit Break by charging at a single enemy and performing a risind slash. Fated Circle After leaping into the air, Squall twirls his Gunblade and releases a shockwave of energy that hits all enemies. Blasting Zone A column of light shoots out of Squall's Gunblade, which he uses to crush his foes. Lion Heart Squall knocks a single enemy into the air, and then unleashes a devistating flurry of attacks. This is Squall's strongest Limit Break in the game. |
