I’m not interested in suggestions for better players, suffice it to say that two of my eight players, Wakka and Tidus, cannot be laid off in hopes they’ll be snapped up by another team, thus enabling them to learn Anti-Drain by some act of god.
Here’s the thing: I have a certain Isken currently equipped with Anti-Drain, on the Kilika Beasts team. Naturally, this will be replaced at half time (this is one skill the game refuses to equip in any other situation, ie. it’ll only be available to learn when you’ve equipped Anti-Drain deliberately onto someone whose contract with Besaid is about to expire, and they get picked up by another team. The first half is the only time this is available)
Anyway, Tidus and Wakka have him marked. I go to copy it, after Drain Tackle 3’ing him a billion times, but the "Tech Copy" message only appears for an instant before disappearing. It should be noted that Isken is currently at a much lower level than my Wakka and Tidus, so their level is not at fault. I’ve tried and I’ve tried, but I can’t seem to find the correct timing for stabbing the X button.
What I’d like to know is: has anyone done this? What is the exact moment the button needs to be pushed? Otherwise my team won’t be perfect.
I can’t actually check this at the moment because I don’t have my PS2 in uni, though. It may have been Anti-Drain 2 I learned – regardless, I think you should be able to find Anti-Drain as a prize also.
I find with the more difficult techniques it’s often quicker to just win them as prizes rather than trying to techcopy them. Anyway, let me know how you get on with this.
I thought only Anti-Drain 2 was learnable from prizes, I have yet to see Anti #1.
I have the patience, but I doubt anyone can help. It may be a game glitch whereby X must be pushed when "TECHCOPY" isn’t even there at all. It may be just completely ridiculous timing. It may be a problem only affecting Pal games. I hope someone can provide a solution. It’s damned frustrating.
Will give it a burl this week and get back with the results.
