Note that I’m not talking about some sort of insane challenge in which you fight them both blind folded here. How you managed to do that is beyond me…
one cheap combo from zell can also kill ultimate weapon unlike maybe 5 to 8 for omega
But you may not get in any Lion Hearts. Also with Armagedon Fists, Omega's HP hardly matters and he will die before he hardly even gets to do anything at all. Ultima Weapons high speed may actually let him do SOMETHING before you pull off your Armagedon Fists.Quote:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!Quote:

Sorry but I really can't see how this makes Omega HARDER. It only makes him take a little longer to beat, but he's not tougher in any way. Also, Ultima Weapon is STILL faster than Omega, nuff said. And Omega's first 2 moves are pretty useless... and he's dead before he can use his third.Quote:

Ultimate weapon may be fast but his moves are not as deadly... except for light pillar which hits one person for 9999 damage... however you can counter it with life, full life, phoenix down and then cast curaga or restore, or elixer etc...
about the junctioning its very hard (emphasis on hard) but possible to beat omega/ultimate weapon without junctioning magic to your stats... if you have squall even without his ultimate weapon, simply use rough divide all time, with aura on all your characters; omega/ultimate weapon being meltdowned; zell doing armaggedon fist, and rinoa in angel wing form, having no magic in her stock except meteor then its possible to win, if you defend at the right times, and have a lot of life items... (however a challenge which includes no magic use especially aura and meltdown would be even more harder)
I don't use armagadon fist but another combo involving heel drop, and booya, and an ocassional punch rush when starting...
The problem with Armageddon Fists is that you’re not always going to get a ludicrous amount of time to pull it off. This means that Omega has an advantage over Ultima when it comes to this combo, since he has much higher HP.Quote:

The time only varies a little. It depends a lot on Zell's current status. If he has 1 Hp + Aura, he's guaranteed to get about 10-12 seconds.Quote:

i dont think zell can do 9999 each hit in the chain even if he is 1 hp and on aura. but his time to do combos is increased if that is the case than there is no point to using meltdown if you have zell in your team. [when you imply this there is an assumption that Ultimicia would have a higher defence as after she does hell's judgement and brings your hp to 1 and you are aura/ed, you still only do about 4000 to 5000 each hit (with an occasional 9999)] if your str is already maxed out. i think you have not included the fact that luck defines critical hits (therefore 9999) which IMO is near impossible to achieve if your don't use luck+50%
when i mean using magic, it does not need to be junctioned to your stats but can be lefted in your magic stockpile as in the case of rinoa. for example if you leave only meteor in your stockpile with rinoa, while squall and zell have defend that its possible, if rinoa is dead, quicky revive, restore, aura and then kick omega's behind (you need to have a lot of items and i dont include hero or holy war)... and i dont think omega is permanently at lvl 100 otherwise versing him at lvl 90 would be say better than at level 50... and the end is near impossible to do on a pc, without hacking
Once again, you're wrong. It's easy to get Zell's strength to 255 and get in a meltdown with "other character#1" and then Aura with "other character#2" before doing Duel with Zell. Every non-critical hit will do more than 8000 dammage. The thing is... the "hit" status, not only the luck status increases the chanse of getting critical hits. It's easy to max both strength and hit AND get a high Luck, resulting in almost only critical hits. So most of your hits would do 9999 while a few would do 8000+ dammage. Ok, maybe you actually would need to do 3 Duels if you're not fast enough, but with good speed and haste, you'll be able to do 3 Duels before Omega even gets to do his second move.Quote:

AAARGH! No, THIS was about how to kick their asses with a "maxed" party! *sigh* :rolleyes2Quote:

c) lvl 100 vs omega - very hard
lvl 62 vs omega - very hard
that about sums it up i think...
Just for references purposes only..please dun start any arguments....

But I do agree Ultima Weapon had higher stats than Omega Weapon when it is level 100 but this does not include HP.
And you can easily get kill by Light Pillars if your spd stats is low or you just goof around.
Considering how much crap you have to go though to fight it, I’m surprised they bothered with that last part…
