As the darling Quistis semi-explains, hitting the R1 button at the moment of attack gives you extra damage. So, how good are you folks at this .

With Squall we're all good because his Hit stat is 768953%, but let's assume the others aren't junctioned up to bajesus like near the beginning.

I can usually get Quistis and Irvine, but I have issues with Selphie, Rinoa, and Zell. In fact, I don't even know if I'm supposed to hit R1 when Rinoa actually shoots her Yuffie-wrist or when the projectile collides with the enemy >_>. For all I know, I hit it at the completely opposite time I'm supposed to.
