The only thing that'll beat him is luck....and maybe a very good understanding of the game. Make sure you save your game before the match. It's going to take a few tries until you get the perfect match.
Luck, and big echos can beat him-I played too cautiously. . .and lost as a result. Don't be afraid to go after BIG echos-like coin count: 3 or 4.
Go for 3 coin echos. Try and use high numbers first, 8's and 9's. 9's disappear at the end of the turn if not used. Pray to whatever deity you believe in he doesn't generate a lot of 1's.
Kick him in the nuts.
Use an entry coin that has a multiplier echo, and make sure you have an entry coin that has the same numerical value as the multiplier you plan to use. That way, if a 1 appears as the multiplicand (the centre number), your echo won't be broken. As a general rule of thumb, I used 3 as my multiplier, and I made sure that one of my entry coins was valued at 3.
You're only guaranteed to have the Coin Echo though. The other echo you're referring to deals with making sure the sums are all divisible by a certain number. I didn't have any extra coins when I took on the tournament. Now granted, if you can get one of them that's great, but we shouldn't assume he has access to it off the bat.
I hated it too! All eight times I played against Shinra, I was mostly pitched a bunch of ones! WTF?! Horrible agonizing death awaits the programmer responsible for this.
yeh he is a pain in the arse too beat!!, but i did beat him finally, as its been quoted a piss load of times all it takes is a good hand of luck and some good strings of echoes!.
I'm at that spot in the game too. I want to stab him with a large fork! GRWAHHH!!!
hahaha, fair enuf kida fair enuf, i understand how u feel, i memba sittin at the tv just wishin i could reach into the game and rip his head off his little body and stik it up his arse! lol but stik at it make sure u get them echoes high!!
Step 1: pass maths
Step 2:

3 coin echo's would probaly be the best, so its crusial not to break the chain half way in mid game, you'll definitely fall short, with little hope of returning back..:s
btw... my disc sometimes jamms in the scene right after beating shinra... :( i had to beat him 3 times before it worked properly, and i got a chance to save..
Hahaha!! same here i hated it >_<...it took me almost 2 days to win...and just by plain LUCK!!
....it was really irritating ..cuz' its like the game was cheating or something :mad2:
dont you get given 4 certain coins so you cant use extra multiplying coins!
Sphere Break drove me insane and i never bothered with it after the tournament (loosing several times)...but these echoes as noted previously are crucial to winning...and what is it with chains in this game?!
I never knew you could challange Shinra... :(
If you make it to the final round you play him for the Lady Luck Dress Sphere.
A hacksaw at night works best.
i like it, its better than blitzball, or easy to understand and play like ffIX card game.
but i hate shinra, with his im just a kid. i wish it were a little of grand theft auto on the celcius
A three coin echo is the eaisiest way. Just hope a 1 doesnt pop up.

The best way is to constantly use a 3 coin count, and you don't have to use just one entry coin either. I remember once Shinra gave me three 1s and I still won. It's doable.
I did 5...
Hey, guys thanks soo much i beat him a few minutes ago all your coaching helped... haha
Huzzah! Congrats!
Congrats!! now remember, train consider training 3 lady lucks, since double exp made some wierd changes to my party.... Yuna was lvl 80, while my Rikku and Paine were lvl 72 =S
took me ten hours of gameplay to beat the little bugger if i see another coin game i'll have a break down and end up useing money to play the bloody thing
I agree that 3 coin count is the best bet. I found this game to be pretty cool.Quote:

I can't remember what it was called that I used since it's been so long since I played the game, maybe "2 coin echo"? I first put the initial coin from the center and then two from the borders, and I kept doing that until I won. I think he put a 1 coin a few times. I reached the quota on my 2nd last turn... 14th, I think.
