Kingdom Hearts II Does Negative Combo have a point?

I know Fenrir's ability is Negative Combo, but it is a separate ability, too. You could just take off a Combo Plus and then, voila: one combo less. Is there an advantage to Negative Combo?

 

well yea, it lets you perform finshers much quicker. i personally don't use Negative Combo, i dont' use Combo Plus either. but it CAN be useful, especially if you like using Magic along with Finshing Plus.

 

It is fun to use a bunch of negative combos then adding the Finishing +(Or what ever its called) and adding two different endings to a combo to do two finishing moves in a row

 

Negative Combo is good for a couple things. I really didn't use it but for these.

1. You can use it to up your damage attacks. Finishers do more damage than a couple hits of a combo and some enemies can get away before you complete your combo. So some enemies may make you want to use this ability to be able to do max damage in a shorter time.

2. It is very useful and even absolutely essential to use in certain parts of the Jiminy Journal. With it I was able to clear the Bumble Buster with Explosion and Thundaga and/or Magnega. It cuts time down a lot. Also, the Junk Sweep where you push boxes..I cleared that in a couple hits. One time for a friend I cleared it in one hit by removing all the Combo pluses and using Fenrir with a couple neg combos. You also want Fenrir and the negative combo ability to do the Phil's Training in Maniac Mode or you probably won't finish that either successfully to Jiminy Journal requirements.

Those are basically the uses for it so it's not critical by any means, if you don't want to clear the Jiminy Journal but if you do, it's rather essential.

 

Thanks. I'd given up on the Jiminy Journal (I'm just that lazy), so I don't think I'll be using NC, then.
