1) you can't get Final-Attack in the chocobo races, even if you said you did battle square is still the fastest probally. BLAH
2) If you attempt to get omnislash on disk one make sure you have grabed big guard, trine, magic hammer, and other enemies skills. Also wait until you get the tiny bronco so you can get kjata, odin, and leviathan summons, and have some high leveled magic materia of your set up. Hp+ and MP+ <----must. and I'd suggest the murasame for Cloud. its in Wutai. It is good to level up with aeris and get her limit breaks too if you fear your level is too low.
3) When you have ultima weapon omnislash and w-summon. Rock on, go scavage up the 2*cut and maybe the slash(mega)-all materia. All you have to do is talk to the man in white near the place you trade bp with and ask him about the special battles, then talk to the clerk who enters you into the arena and choice to do the special battles. If your set up is good then you will conqure. you will not need any attacks that inflict damage on all enemies. You might just find it good to use summons too.
4) As has been said when your in the arena you need to be prepared. I like having a ribbon (you only need one), your ultimate weapon, armor (Diamond armor, mystile, Minerva band, imperial Guard, Escort Guard, or shinra alpha is the best) and a good materia set-up. you need to make sure if you lose a type of materia you can rely on something else, Enemy Skill, death blow, mime, hp mp plus, counter atk, long range comet, contain, ultima, w-item,summon,magic, behamut, neo and zero, kjata, odin, hades, and some 'all' with any other type of magic (green) materia. those are the ones I think are powerful enough without doing the KOTR quests.
5) If it works for you tap square, pick what you want and predict your own score. If a freak accurance happens maybe you need to leave for a chocobo breeding try and come back to see if it still happens. You can get every slot to give the same result cause it just happens, I don't think it will do it if you beat the battle square 10 time. If it does haha you must'of tried and cheat. When you are new to the game that break all materia one is something you really don't need, but if you have caught on you will find it will give you good bp.
