I never use the Oblivion. Yeah, it's looks roxor my boxors (even though I wear thongs and briefs and never ever wear boxers because they offer no support whatsoever), but it drops your MP by one, which is terrible for some of Ansem's attacks that HURT no matter what level you're at (well, they don't bother me because of all my fricking expertise at the game). Curaga is the key to beating Ansem and the superbosses (DAMN YOU KURT ZISA! WHY WERE YOU SO HARD?!) I use the Lionheart until I can get the Ultima Weapon. Third strongest, MP +1, decent reach, looks cool.
