*not a mod* xD And Rydia of Mist banned heh.

I actually did it by standing still and returning to the spot. Running around would distract me waaaay too much, I think. And it would cause me to accidently move under a tower.

[edit] Solid-Gear, it probably took me a total of 40 minutes, and 3 tries. I got up to 88 the first time, 35 the second time, and 232 the third time.

As for getting equipment with No Encounters on it, you can win a weapon from Geosgaeno in Baaj Temple (Geosgaeno is that big ass fish that almost eats Tidus near the beginning of the game). Baaj is one of the hidden areas on the airship map, I don't remember the coordinates... just look around.

I won a Devastator for Rikku with the No Encounters ability on it. Not sure if it changes or not.

As far as ultimate weapons go, so far the one that I find by far the most frustrating is Tidus'. I CANNOT control that damned chocobo. I used to like chocobos... I hate them with a PASSION NOW!!!

*argh*

I've resolved that Wakka's is the absolute most annoying. Unless one plays two games of Blitzball at every save point they see between Mi'ihen and Zanarkand... it takes forever and a day. I'm seven games away from that Sigil, and I've played at least 25 games since Zanarkand to get there, after playing more than my share of Blitzball prior. I reset the game, at one point, and did the last game of a league over again, just to get the Jupiter Sigil to appear in the next league.

YES I FINALLY GOT IT!!! 226!!!! W00t and i gotta tell you its well worth it! Anyways...i did it while the lights were on, my bro and his friend tlaking infont of me playing the guitar with some foo fighters playing in the background...w00t! I didnt mess up yes! Thanks guys. I stayed still and moved back that pattern. Anyways....thanks. w00t

*feels stupid for mistaking Britt's identity and...feels stupid in general*

Blitzball is actually kind of fun to me...I mean, I started dominating teams when leveled up so much, but then I decided to have some fun and I tried for higher goals, like more goals (my record stands at 12-0 against the Kilika Beasts now) or using different strategies and lineups. If only there were some online form... I played 48 games

In truth, I think Lulu's was the hardest if only because I had 193!!! At that point, I was so ticked off that I threw the controller...against a pillow. Gamer Rage is very dangerous, folks. Not just for you, but your gaming equipment. Please, controller-toss safely

Oh, but the payoff (on the 4th try) was wonderful! Doublecast Ultima has never been so EXTREMELY POWERFUL! The majority of Monster Arena Creations are cake now! Don't even mention Ultima Fury

Blitzball is the workings of Satan on the minds of the poor, hapless game developers at Square. It's designed to slowly degenerate the minds of those who play it until they can do nothing except babble incessantly about how great blitzball is.

No, really.

Blitzball would be so much more fun if for one, it was 3-D instead of just 2-D, and two, if it weren't based almost entirely on stats. *sigh* ... maybe I just won't go for Wakka's celestial weapon.

As for dodging lightning, for me the easiest place was to go out the northern end of the screen with the travel agency place. You should end up on the left side of a fork. Right around just where the path converges worked very well. I believe it's a "3 bolt" area, but I'm not sure... it struck very frequently, anyways. Also, you're extremely close to the travel agency, which makes it nice.

Just count out loud how many bolts you've dodged, and it goes surprisingly fast. If you have to pause it, I'd recommend doing it as you're actually jumping back from a bolt, since that will give you the most time to get ready for the next one when you come back.

And good god, is it worth it. Lulu is the shiznit with Onion Knight, doublecast, and flare/ultima.

hey you forgot magic booster and 1 mp cost to go with ultima and double cast....

God, that dodging lighting thing really pissed me off. I had 30, then 66, then 92, then 120, then 160, then 170, then 195 before I hit the 200 mark :/ I am glad that is over. If i have to rate it, it is the hardest Ultimate Weapon to get other than the silly butterfly game.

As for Blitzball, it is about stats yeah. But once you have great awesome characters, like Tidus with jecht Shot 2, Eaiger, Wakka,Wedge,Blappa,Brother who all know how to do Sphere Shot , and of course Nimrook to back you up, it is hella fun !! Just Sphere shooting from the middle of the field, watching poor keeper trying their best to block the inevitable shots.hehehe. I get like 15 points per game against the Ronso, and average around the 10 for the other teams Great way to cheer up after a bad day at school
