Omnislash?[]
I'm deleting the mention of Omnislash on the Lionheart part of the article. Cloud's Omnislash is not described as bearing resemblance to the Lionheart on the Cloud's limit break section of his article, so why should Squall's? Winged Lion 02:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Because when the Omnislash was created, there was Renzokuken to reference. Though I can't really say I see any resemblance between these two attacks - they're both just characters attacking wildly, you can't really say that either is particularly original. --BlueHighwind 02:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
End of Heart (Lion Heart) in Dissidia[]
When End of Heart (Lion Heart) is referenced in this article in the Dissidia section... does it mean the finishing move of Squall's Ex Burst? Is that it's official name even though it's only the finishing blow of the Lion Heart?Winged Lion 03:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- In FFVIII the Japanese name for Lion Heart was End of Heart so it can be assumed that End of Heart will be changed to Lion Heart in the english Dissidia but until the english Dissidia comes out we must use the Japanese version names. So yes, currently End of Heart is the official name of Squall's Ex Burst until the english version comes out and when that time comes things will be changed to account for it.

- Yes, yes, I know all that. What I meant is, isn't Squall's ex burst just the Renzokuken with the Lion Heart finishing blow? I mean, the Lion Heart itself hits 18 times while the Renzokuken is able to hit 8 times, which is what Squall does for his Ex Burst, plus the finishing blow. It just strikes me as odd that the Ex Burst is called End of Heart, but is in reality the Renzokuken (made obvious by the Trigger bar that appears during the Ex Burst)Winged Lion 03:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Again, the japanese translations name it End of Heart. When the english version comes out perhaps it will become clearer. Also I think we have different ideas on what the Renzokuken is. You seem to see it as simply the name of the 8 slashes before a limit break attack. I've always seen it as an umbrella term for Squall's techniques (such as Karate is the term for Karate techniques or Taekundo fo Taekundo techniques) Netherith 03:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- I guess it's as you say, each has his different ideas. Though the in-game tutorial does refer to the Renzokuken as Squall's limit break, making use of the trigger button and the trigger bar. Though of course all finishing moves are part of thee Limit Break, triggered randomly... All my ranting is in reality coming from the fact that I find it unfair that they gave Cloud the Omnislash's 15 hits while ignoring the 18 hits of the Lion Heart *sigh* Thanks for responding to my senseless ranting though!Winged Lion 04:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Huh?[]
I always thought it said "Renozuken". It sounds far better than what it's really called. My brothers always seem to misread these things, and then they call them that, and then I call them that. There's Shrina and Sephroith to. ILHI 19:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Renzokuken[]
The game calls the attack Renzokuken. However it seems obvious to me that the attack is just Lionheart without the Renzokuken part. Just with the trigger meter on the Lionheart segment. It seems odd that they would call it Renzokuken. Remorhaz556 05:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Huh? Drake Clawfang 06:11, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry i wasn't very clear. In Dissidia Squalls Ex Burst is Renzokuken. However the attack he performs is Lionheart but they called it Renzokuken just because they stuck the Renzokuken meter onto it. I just thought it was odd that they named it that way. I mean they didn't call Blitz Ace swordplay. The translation and general attack choice in dissidia seems odd to me. Grand Lethal is a dashing attack. Ultimecias Ex Bust isnt Shockwave Pulsar or another dramatic cutscene attack. It just some new attack with purple beams. Clouds Omnislash consists of a series of Dashes through the enemy. Some of the costume redesigns seem pointless. As fun as Dissidia is they didnt try to be particularly accurate to the original games. Which seems odd seeing as the game is basically fanservice. Remorhaz556 06:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Um.....Ultimecia's EX Burst is Time Compression, based on her grand scheme of FF8, and derived in mechanics from Renzokuken. Squall's Limit Break is Renzokuken, with Lion Heart as the finishing blow. Grand Lethal, yes that's an odd one. Cloud's Omnislash is a series of fourteen slashes leading up to a fifteenth, and the costume redesigns are to match Amano's original artwork on the characters. Overall, Dissidia has been very faithful to the original games. 06:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

If someone can get it to work I would be much obliged. Netherith 13:10, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
The hits against Seifer[]
The article says that when used against Seifer in boss battles, the Renzokuken has a fixed sequence of five hits always. However, if you watch this [[1]], you will see that Squall first uses a 5-hit Renzokuken and as his next Renzokuken, a 6-hit sequence against him. Dramirth 10:49, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
Curse[]
If you select Renzokuken and then get cursed, can you still use a finishing move? Two or three times I haven't got a finishing move when this has happened (damn Malboros) although it might be coincidence. 79.69.201.196 16:13, November 22, 2011 (UTC)
