i think i came pretty close. this was my first time ever playing ff8. i had less than half the gfs, my squall had about 4-5k hp. um .. i never obtained the lionheart. i killed most of ultimecia's minions i believe and i felt like fighting omega weapon. with like 4(could be exaggerating) guardian forces and cura(coulda been curaga) junctioned to life, i didnt stand a chance against him. he took out one of my chars in a single move. i got scared and was frantically tried to revive him while going offensive with omega weapon. just before i casted life that character was dead. i had one character left and he didnt die because i resetted the game and overwrote that data block.
i now stand before you 1337 with 255 stats on most the attributes on all the characters (yes, i have no life)
