favorite strategy for the final battle on ff8? - Page 2

I use the same strategy of casting Aura on all my characters, except I let my characters stay at 1 HP when Ultimecia or Omega use Hell's Judgement or Megido Flame. With 1HP, Squall has a higher chance of doing more hits with Renzokuken, Zell has more Duel time, Rinoa has a better chance of using Wishing Star, etc. Seriously, with this strategy, I beat Omega right after he used Megido Flame and never got to use another attack. Of course, it doesn't work like this with Ultimecia. You MUST wait for her to say "And..." before you can kill her. Even if you reduce her HP to 0, she can still attack you and can't kill her until she says "And..."

I prefer the simple Attack, Attack, Attack, Attack.
Really, with the right Junctions you don't need to do anything else. Maybe I should try a no Junction game. That's if I can stand Rinoa one more time.

Be ridiculously overpowered.

Cast Aura, Haste, and other status buffs. Cast Meltdown. Pummel her with Limits until she dies. Heal with Megalixirs as necessary.

I usually use the 'ol tried and tested method of Meltdown on the enemy, Aura and Haste on Squall. Works for most of the uber bosses.

I believe that I defeated Ultimecia without fully utilizing the Junction System due to a lack of understanding on my part. I remember having to use a number of magic spells and Guardian Forces as my main method of attack.
