Blitz Ace

Blitz Ace (エース・オブ・ザ・ブリッツ? or エースオブザブリッツ, Ēsu Obu za Burittsu?, lit. Ace of the Blitz) is Tidus's strongest Overdrive from the Swordplay command debuting in Final Fantasy X. It starts with eight consecutive slashes to a single target, somewhat similar to Cloud Strife's Omnislash and Squall Leonhart's Lion Heart, and finishes with Tidus kicking a blitzball that explodes on contact with the opponent.

Blitz Ace's last attack sequence alludes to one of the most famous soccer tricks: the bicycle kick.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy X[]

Tidus can use Blitz Ace after he executes 80 Overdrives. Tidus charges and leaps at one enemy in slow-motion. He executes eight sword attacks with a damage constant of 4^[1], plants his sword in the ground and leaps into the air, using the hilt of the planted sword as leverage. One of the female party members throws a blitzball to him (the person to throw the ball is determined by affection mechanics), and the Overdrive meter appears. If the meter is stopped, Tidus kicks the ball at the enemy, which explodes on contact, dealing one hit with a damage constant of 24. If the meter is not stopped, Tidus misses the kick and falls to the ground. If the Overdrive is performed underwater, Tidus will simply swim away and kick the ball. (Note: A normal attack has a damage constant of 16.)

Final Fantasy X-2[]

In the International and HD Remaster versions, Tidus can be fought in the Fiend Arena and will use Blitz Ace against the party. When Tidus is recruited into the team, the A.I. will randomly choose him to perform Blitz Ace.

The final boss uses a similar move called "Terror of Zanarkand".

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII[]

Though not a true appearance of the ability, there is an allusion to it. Blitz Ace is an auto-ability exclusive to Guardian's Protector shield. When defending for a certain amount of time, Lightning is buffed with Bravery and Faith.

Blitz Ace

A flurry of attacks leading to a magnificent shot.

Menu description

Blitz Ace is Tidus's EX Burst. Tidus starts the attack with its usual sword combo, but since he is alone, instead of someone throwing the blitzball to him, he hurls it in a manner that it rebounds off the opponent and into the air towards him as it becomes enveloped in energy. As he starts an overhead kick, the player must stop a moving cursor as close to the center of Tidus's Overdrive meter as they can. The closer they are to the center, the more Bravery damage Tidus does as he launches the blitzball at the opponent with the bicycle kick shot, consuming them in an explosion of light that deals HP damage.
