Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III The " Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III " ( Original : ; International : ) , often referred to as simply the Jecht Shot , is a blitzball technique invented by Jecht of " Final Fantasy X " . With the release of " Dissidia Final Fantasy " , Jecht Shot has evolved into an ability used by Tidus . Creation . Jecht would use his special technique to boost audiences , saying that the name " Mark III " was to hook the crowd and make them return expecting to see Mark I or Mark II , and was given that designation because it hits two opponents and then scores a goal . However , no " Mark I " or " Mark II " ever existed . Jecht was originally known throughout Dream Zanarkand as the only person able to perform the move . Tidus unsuccessfully attempted to learn it when he was young , but masters it later on ; thus , he is the only other player who can perform the move . Gameplay . Years later , when aboard the " S . S . Winno " , Tidus has the option of trying the " Jecht Shot Challenge " with a blitzball on the deck . The player only has one shot to do it at first , but may return later to retry it after obtaining the airship , " Fahrenheit " . It requires the player to push and a direction on the that corresponded with the location of an indicator onscreen , or just if it appears in the middle . After practice , the real challenge begins , and the indicators are replaced by quotes from Jecht that demean Tidus . As the quotes are successfully selected , Tidus performs the different phases of the Jecht Shot in the background . After successfully getting eleven quotes , Tidus learns and performs the shot in front of Wakka and the Besaid Aurochs . If the player is unsuccessful , Tidus will fail at hitting the ball , thus not learning the technique . If it is not performed correctly the first time , the player can return to the Kilika Port and ride the boat to Luca . The ball will be in the same spot and this time , there are infinite possible tries . Learning Jecht Shot in the " Final Fantasy X HD Remaster " version earns the Striker trophy . The Technique . The technique is quite simple , but obviously difficult to manage . First , the player would kick the ball , hitting either a post or an opposing defender , then it comes back , the player would punch it into another player and it would fly up , the player jumps up after it , and spins fast to gain momentum and kicks it . The stats for the technique in - game are : Note that while the Jecht Shot is effective , it has quite a long animation compared to other techniques , taking upwards of 20 seconds to execute . If the player is short on time , Jecht Shot may not be advisable for use . Similar Moves . There is a similar move called " Jecht Shot 2 " , with the following stats : It is acquired by winning a tournament when the first prize is " Jecht Shot 2 " , but Tidus must have obtained all his Key Techniques before it can be learned . Jecht only ever invented one shot , the " Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III " ; as Tidus explained to Yuna , there never existed a Mark I or II , and he further explains that Jecht named it Mark III , so fans would return in hopes of seeing his two non - existing other shots , and the designation referred to knocking two opponents away and then scoring a goal . Mark III is the shot referred to in gameplay as simply " Jecht Shot " . It can be assumed that the " Jecht Shot 2 " is a variation created by Tidus himself , with an added Sphere Shot , based on the original Jecht Shot . If " Jecht Shot Mark III " is taken to refer to the two knocked away players and the goalie , Jecht Shot 2 could possibly be considered " Jecht Shot Mark IV " . Related Abilities .
