Kingdom Hearts 2

Umm, Stupid question maybe but...

What Hydra? There is no Hydra in the tournaments (I may be wrong. They may have changed it for PAL territories).

I think he means Cerberus. And yes, that's a tough battle. It's been a while since I've played through KH2, but as I recall, the key is definitely getting through the early battles quickly, which requires a fair amount of luck and, of course, accuracy with the Action commands.

Can you use your Drive forms in the Cerberus Cup? If you can, use Valor to blow through the early battles, and you should have more time near the end.

I always use that valor drive, blast everyone away in the early rounds and still always have only 13 seconds to defeat the Hydra/Cerebus.
