    The only thing that'll beat him is luck....and maybe a very good understanding of the game. Make sure you save your game before the match. It's going to take a few tries until you get the perfect match.

    Luck, and big echos can beat him-I played too cautiously. . .and lost as a result. Don't be afraid to go after BIG echos-like coin count: 3 or 4.

    Go for 3 coin echos. Try and use high numbers first, 8's and 9's. 9's disappear at the end of the turn if not used. Pray to whatever deity you believe in he doesn't generate a lot of 1's.

    Use an entry coin that has a multiplier echo, and make sure you have an entry coin that has the same numerical value as the multiplier you plan to use. That way, if a 1 appears as the multiplicand (the centre number), your echo won't be broken. As a general rule of thumb, I used 3 as my multiplier, and I made sure that one of my entry coins was valued at 3.

    You're only guaranteed to have the Coin Echo though. The other echo you're referring to deals with making sure the sums are all divisible by a certain number. I didn't have any extra coins when I took on the tournament. Now granted, if you can get one of them that's great, but we shouldn't assume he has access to it off the bat.

    I hated it too! All eight times I played against Shinra, I was mostly pitched a bunch of ones! WTF?! Horrible agonizing death awaits the programmer responsible for this.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    or simply save just before your 3rd victory.. saves you the trouble of fighting through all the players again.

    3 coin echo's would probaly be the best, so its crusial not to break the chain half way in mid game, you'll definitely fall short, with little hope of returning back..:s

    btw... my disc sometimes jamms in the scene right after beating shinra... i had to beat him 3 times before it worked properly, and i got a chance to save..

    dont you get given 4 certain coins so you cant use extra multiplying coins!
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    Sphere Break drove me insane and i never bothered with it after the tournament (loosing several times)...but these echoes as noted previously are crucial to winning...and what is it with chains in this game?!
