God I hate D-Links in Birth by Sleep. It's so painful to watch someone doing perfectly good magic damage as Aqua, D-Linking with Ventus and suddenly having a deck of mainly physical abilities, haste applied to their weak-ass keyblade attacks, and that awful Air Dive finisher. They created three characters with different skill sets and strengths and weaknesses, and said "well that's great but we should also add a thing where the command decks the player carefully put together is overridden by one that almost certainly makes them worse in a fight." Awful mechanic in 100% of cases except Terra D-Linking with Ventus for haste
Not naming names but I just watched a streamer spend like half an hour fighting Vanitas as Aqua and he only won once he stopped trying to use any D-Links. It's like, man I love having Fission Firaga that blows up a quarter of a health bar but you know what would be better? Blitz that does nothing
