I originally made this script for my Final Fantasy VI SDK and I felt like I had to to it for VX. "Blitz" is a battle command also called "Deathblows" in FF6J. You guessed it, It requires my Custom Commands script!
How does it works? When selecting the Blitz command, you must Input a series of keys, like UP-Down-Up-L-R, to cast a skill. Obviously, the actor must have learned the skill before casting it and the input must be right. No Timing is required but if the input is wrong, nothing will happen and the actor will lose it's turn.
