On the contrary if you have fangs ultimate weapon and the genji gloves (which you got from killing 63 I believe) add 2 items that raise fangs attack by 250, the taiming pole final version (or my favorite the upgraded dragoon lance). Here is what you do

Party leader - Fang

Required paradigms

"ONE" syn-med-sen - initial
"TWO" rav-rav-rav
"THREE" com-med-sen (note the commando is fang)
"FOUR" sab-sab-sab or sab-sab-rav
"FIVE" com-rav- (fang initial com)if lightning or snow com, otherwise rav)
"SIX" sen-med-med

PHASE A
Start battle and buff up all your stats with ONE
Switch to "TWO" stagger a leg
Switch to "THREE" Highwind leg

Should be enough to kill it, or come close, if it doesn't kill it then try raising stagger till it's over 300 or attack it a few times before highwind

Repeat initial phase to stagger the other leg. rebuffing as needed

PHASE B after he hits the ground
Shift to "FOUR" stay here till he is "slow/deshell/deprotect/imeril"
Shift back to "TWO" and bring his stagger up to at least 600%
Shift to "FIVE" and beat the crap out of him, saving highwind till he is just about out of stagger

should he live through this it would be a good time to shift to "SIX"
Then back to "ONE" and repeat

Note if fangs stats are around 2800 or higher you can probably kill him in one stagger.

Rastlin - I beat the long gui on try #8 but his "roar" technique does massive damage, sometimes dazing your party and is often followed by "ultima" a most leathal combination I beat him with my party mastered 5 classes and half way done with their final... good luck if you try before that . I have to stagger 3 times to kill, and they stay staggered alot longer. The good news is slow sticks to him even when he stands back up, though I'm not sure how long it lasts

to beat a long gui I have a slightly different set up
