That was it! I only remembered using soulblade after going to the synthesis shop in Lindblum and now I know why!

Soul Blade was good for Zidane's non-magic fighting style, but it becomes less and less useful as the game progresses. Want a good attack for Zidane? I got two words:

Grand Lethal.

This works during trance but you need the appropriate equipment for it. I dealt 9999 to Necron for every turn I had in trance, and it killed him pretty quick! (It does use up about 60MP per go, so use in moderation, mind…)
