Okay, so, a few things to Note about Squall's Draw Magic ability:
--He draws Arise from Vanguard Types and gets HP Regen effect.
--He draws Triple from Assassin Types and gets a Speed buff, this is Running/Dash Speed and NOT Dash stamina/Dash recovery which is buffed with Odin/Revivify.
--He draws Meteors from Marksmen Types and gets Bravery Regen.
--Specialist Types have a Random Draw of any of the above 3 types.
The closer he is to his "prey" during Draw, the longer the Buff will last, including Ultima.
You can draw from Targets close-up on Knockdown (Bahamut is best to take advantage of Draw).
Also, for Gunblade Combos, the Trigger Timing is about half a second after the gunblade hits (you don't have to mash, just time your presses), but Trigger only works on followups to a combo, not the very first hit. It doesn't seem to work on his Dash strike either.
I'd also add that if you're bad with Triggers, consider using Ifrit/Mighty Strikes/Bravery Conduit instead.
Also, having Vaan in your Party with Share Bravery and his Dreadnought EX skill, will help immensely.

I am rather enjoying the game, although the camera angles are wacked. I also I'm not sure I like the lack of more RPG elements, but the fighting is fast, furious, and fun!

The next character will be revealed next month, and it's the male villain from 8-15. Then in April they will be available:

A male villian, huh?
Then my guesses for this guy are Seifer(8), Seymour(10), the guy from FF12 who made his appearence in 012(I can never remember his name), Caius Ballad(13-2) or Ardyn(15).

You're probably right. I don't think it'll be Seifer or Ardyn either, but I've still listed them, just in case I'm wrong.

My motivations are three-fold.
1. I bought the DLC Season Pass dangit, I'm getting my money's worth.
2. I figure there's a High Level game in here someplace. Not just regular fighting but Core Battles in particular. Core fights feel like Soccer now.
3. Leveling up the A.I. while unlocking stuff eventually pays off as they actually pick up your slack.
And single fights are still there and still fun. Even the Summon fights are a challenge.
I should add that certain HP attacks are ghastly in this game. Vaan's get really strong, Garland's are also good, and using Shiva makes HP spamming legit.

Brainfart summary of Dissidia NT character specific mechanics (because I’m tired of always looking it up on a single page):
WoL(Vn):Shield Buffs/Saber HP Buffs/Defense Buff
Garland(Vn): Gets stronger when he knocks down/Ragna+Azrael basically
Firion(Vn): Blood Sponge/Ragna basically
Emperor(Ma): Starfall/Testament Traps basically
Onion(Sp): Bartz if he was younger
CoD(Vn): Charging mah Lasers
Cecil(Vn): Ikaruga Polarity Shift (Dark Flame/Holy Flame effects HP)
Golbez(Ma): Don’t get hit by HP attacks. EVER.
Kain(As): Charging mah Jump
Bartz(Sp): Keep doing stuff and Super Buff

Cloud(Vn): Limit Break Buff/Defense Buff
Sephiroth(Vn): Dash Cancels/Slow Field/Doom Debuff HP Attack

Zidane(As): Like Squall steals buffs but uses dash+HP attacks to steal/Tidal Flame is annoying/Trance has auto-Esuna.

The Worst Mode Gauntlet has to offer. I think you need to not die even once to get Beastmaster Title. Not easy against AoEs that track, juggles, and Shiva x2.
This is 40 minutes long, so grab a sandwich or something before watching.
Also, couple notes:
---I tackled the order of the bosses backwards because it's easier to get the tough ones out of the way first, though Shiva is still tough no matter which order you put her in.
---Bahamut, Shiva, Ifrit, Odin, and Shinryu all have the best audio tracks to unlock. The rest is mostly techno.
---I still have no idea what determines when the boss will get stunned.
---Shinryu has annoying HP attacks that track like fast missiles, so you literally NEED Perfect Defense to survive them. That said, Shinryu is actually EASIER to fight than the summons are, due to how his phases work.
---I got juggled by Leviathan and cornered by Bahamut and Alexander, so expect to rely on some luck when fighting these bosses.
---This isn't my optimal party for boss killing, but it's getting there. I hope to either add Noctis or Ramza depending on which is more effective.
---Someone used Kain to jump over HP attacks in Hard Mode runs, not sure how reliable that is though. Shantotto might be better for that.
---Not sure what all Debuffs effect bosses or which are best, but these worked well for me for the most part, so long as my allies weren't dead.
---Characters with a Buff EX are wonderful, hence why I had Bartz with me.
---I used Sephiroth mainly for Heartless Angel, but if there's a better HP attack to use, I'm all ears!

One gets the impression the development team has succeeded with this being a fighter that could legit have rankings and tournaments and stoof -- would you say that's the case?

Well, I mean, it has a "High Score" system, but it doesn't exactly do anything with it like other fighting games do. There's online ranking matches, but those are a drop in the bucket at the end of the day, and mostly Japanese players appreciate those.
Example: BlazBlue has Unlimited Mars, Score Attack, Speed Attack, Abyss Mode, etc that let you dig in to how skilled you can get...
Even old school PC fighting games typically have a Survival Mode.
It's like they wanted to be in Arcades, but they didn't know what to do once they got there.
(Oh yeah, word of advice: if the summon is spamming HP attacks all day and you got hit once, and the summon stops to check and see if you're in a wakeup status... you ONLY have time to cast Perfect Defense in that moment... hence why I managed to block some ridiculous stuff.)
I would've liked it if they brought back Labyrinth Mode from Duodecim, as you got unique items and special effects from the job cards in that game.
Despite all this, I hope this game gets the FFXV treatment and gets more content to play.

Beat the story mode today.
Made it to the summon fights a few weeks back (day of the Super Bowl, if I recall correctly.) Got my ass kicked about 5 times by Shiva, rage-quitted, and stopped playing until today, when I proceeded to beat each summon, one after another, leading up to the final boss. Did the hard modes, and beat them all, except Shiva, who continues to kick my ass.
Maining Y'shtola, with Holy, Bravery Regen, and Perfect Defense. Support is Sephiroth, with Octaslash/Heartless Angel, Provoke, and Share HP, and Noctis, Warp Strike, and Provoke/Share HP.

With Orbonne Monastery Stage from FF Tatics coming out as DLC, I bet we'll be getting a Story DLC which, given there wasn't much of
that'll happen after we get new Character DLC.
It's weird how, back before World of Final Fantasy was released, I was expecting the game to have a happy ending for all of the main characters since it's a children's game, but
while with this game's story mode, teenage and adult wise, I was expecting that to have an emotional ending and a cliff-hanger, but
, which makes it the complete opposite.
Not to jinx myself, but as much as I'm hoping for a happy ending for KH3, I'm sadly expecting it to be very sad and the cliff-hanger to reach KH4 which we'll have to wait for several more years after the Remake.
Maybe it's me being completely weird.
Lighting and Squall after they split up with Terra and Zidane, and the lack of Golbez even having a speaking role,
It's weird how, back before World of Final Fantasy was released, I was expecting the game to have a happy ending for all of the main characters since it's a children's game, but
both Reynn and Lann sacrifice themselves and turn into little cubes,
all of the Warriors return to their home worlds while having been summoned by the new Gods only once, leaving behind their memories and replicas who take their place to continue the Fighting while the real ones continue on with their lives(well, except the villians who most of them end up dead)
