Final Fantasy 10
Overdrives
During battle, you'll see a bar beneath your characters' levels. The speed at which this gauge fills varies from battle to battle. Once it is full, you can use an Overdrive attack.
Your characters' Overdrive gauge is initially filled by enemy hits, but there are also various Overdrive Modes which your fighters can learn over time. You can select different Modes and assign them to each character in the Overdrive sub-menu.
Once a characters gauge is full, move your left analog stick to the left to view the generic term of that particular fighters Overdrives. Press X to see a list of all the character's Overdrive Techniques.
Overdrive Modes
A character must have experienced specific battle situations several times in order to learn a new Overdrive Mode. For example, Yuna will learn the Daredevil Mode once she has participated in 90 battles with less than 50% of her HP.

You'll have to use existing Overdrives successfully in order to learn new Overdrive techniques. Then using Blitz Ace Overdrive, remember that the countdown and display will only appear after Tidus has attacked eight times.

Winning blitzball games enables Wakka to learn new Overdrives.

Just rotate your right analog stick as quickly as possible within th tight time limit. Lulu can use her Overdrive even if she has run out of MP or has fallen victim to silence status effect. If Lulu decides to use Fury, opponents will be unable to protect themselves using Reflect or Shell.

However, if your opponent is immune to the additional effect, the status neutral "variant" will automatically be used to attack.
