I like the status spells. The best being the Enemy Skill Bad Breath. When I do the Special Battle Square I used that during every fight. I think it's a cocktail of poison, sleep, confuse and mini. Poison is almost too powerful in VII.

As for the word 'mini' I love it! Mainly because I have a Mystile equipped on every character so the word 'miss' usually means the enemies attack has failed.
