I tried doing that multiple times, but Emerald is just so damn fast and violent that I gave up trying after a while. Admittedly, the victory ended up coming too easy and my Emerald video is boring as hell, but at least I won. On the positive side, I played it fair against Ruby and that worked really well. And I managed to prove the point that really matters: not only does Chocobo breeding seriously suck, but it isn't necessary to achieve anything in the game. Proof is, you can beat Ruby with none of the Materia from the Materia Caves, and then you get a Gold Chocobo anyway, so tough.

As for Ozma, I'm on the side that says it's badly designed. The trick with the ATB is original and does bring something genuine to the fight, but it's really cryptic and you'll never understand it unless someone else just flat-out tells you what the deal is. As for Curse and Meteor, they are plain and simply unfair. Like most players, I ended up winning because it randomly decided not to cast them.
