Ultima Shadow's and Trumpet Thief's SMRPG challange!

[Ultima Shadow]

I accidentally save stated stuck on the corner of a wall, and I have to fight an encounter to get out.

Should I win the encounter or load a four hour-old save state.

Can't you escape? And at what point in the game are you? Still in the Sunken Ship?

Anyways... since you're using save states, I guess you can make up for the EXP you gain from that battle by buying that Lucky-Egg thingy and then use it in the end of a boss battle and make sure you get the chanse to get double EXP, but instead make sure you get "NO EXP"... if you know what I mean.

Edit: Just beat Smilax on my 7th try!

Edit2: Ok, those 2 Ice Bombs that I bought a long time ago were really, really useful. Seriously... let's just say that I'm really happy I bought them and didn't waste them earlier.

I got to Birdo... and it's bloody impossible to do any dammage at all with physical or special attacks. She got 800 HP, and everything except Super Jump would do 0-2 dammage. Super Jump will do about 1 dammage for every hit... so that's seriously not really an option either. I actually thought that I was stuck for a while, but then I remembered those Ice Bombs. Those alone wouldn't be enough to finish Birdo, but with Power Blast on my characters, they would atleast do some serious dammage. Now, the thing is... I got really, really lucky. I got a freebie twice! So I was able to use Ice Bomb a total of 4 times! And since every Ice Bomb would do more than 200 dammage, and Birdo only got 800, that was enough to finish her. From now on, Ice Bombs officially rules!
