I appreciate this lengthy response
I did manage to beat him though with just turtling down the whole way through and letting yuffie lay way him to pieces. I actually watched your videos to get a good feel for the fights in this mod and did look up some general knowledge of the changes implemented by this mod as well. I had all the info there in front of me I just could not translate that into a victory for myself. I usually ran into the issues of not having the right protection on the right people but I managed to pull it out of my ass near the end. I updated my last post with the victory try I love you Yuffie!!! But again sega thank you for responding and picking my my strategy out I had quite a bit of flaws now that I look back at it.
