Tidus performs Blitz Ace in Final Fantasy X.
Blitz Ace (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, which explodes on contact with the opponent.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
Template:Sideicon
Blitz Ace is Tidus' 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.
