    Default Dont help me now!

    Odin arriving when you're trying to Draw in FFVIII, Critical hits when a monster has 5 hp remaining, Supernatural Border on touhou 7 just before a boss.

    What are the little helpers in games that just get there when you least want them?

    edit: also when Donald casts stop in the Colleseum on KHI when you're trying to do time trial and you have to wait for it to wear off for the damage to take effect. And then once you reach the rock titan you beat him and while the whole slow motion thing at the end of boss battles is running your time runs out, Knowing if Donald didnt cast that stop you mightve made it!

    Yeah, I think we all know that feeling so very well

    The stupid old midgar zolom is always too weak when I get around to collecting Beta. Also in times when you can only mug and not steal, it's a bit of a pain to mug from weak enemies as they're more likely to die than being stolen from.

    Critical hits on the second turn in Fire Emblem, when the enemy already has 1 HP left. It's like, why couldn't you have pulled that off on the first try!? :P

    Getting a supernatural border right before a boss isn't always a bad thing! It's bonus points that you're insured to get!

    But yeah, trance.

    Oh yeah. I've seen DBL Black come up a lot, all of those times the monster was killed next turn by Zidane. Also Cook, it only comes up during encounters I've already learned or bosses.

    Fifthing Trance, especially when it happens right before a big boss fight, when you actually need it.

    Seconding criticals in Fire Emblem, but for me, it's when I need to just weaken enemies for lower level units.

    Yes if you're actually good and going for a high score, not when you're lame like me and just trying to finish without continues on normal

    Both of these definitely. Odin in FFVIII never helps me when needed also! Accidentially killing Snake with a grenade when a boss has almost no health left I've done that on more than one occasion!
