Have you got mad skills? Skills that make you the top pick in school yard football? Well then this is not the place for you. We only want to hear about useful battle skills here.

Favourite Skill

There are a lot of abilities in the Final Fantasy series. No, really. When you think about how many games there are, and how many individual skills are in each, then you're left with a metric smurftonne of them. It's a real measurement, trust me.

One Pointers

• Dragonheart
• Throw
• Manipulate/Control
• Mix
• Punch Art
• Mime

These are actually some useful skills. Let's start with Gamblet who is beginning to prove himself as a member whose opinion is not always completely invalid and wrong.

Punch Art from FFT, free healing and mana, versatile attack skills.

That sounds smurfing useful. And punching is a badass way to deal with enemies.

Mix (I love chemists, too bad most of the games don't have them)

I am going to alert all the pharmacies in your local area just in case you have some kind of weird psycho chemistry fetish.

Manipulate. I would like to use this in real life. I'm not a pervert or anything. I would just use it to have sex with thousands of women.

Not going to touch this one

Third Place (2)
We have a three way tie here, between Devour, Mug, and Darkness. I know that increasing your damage output is a good thing, but sacrificing your own life to do so seems unnecessary. The concept behind such a thing is somewhat concerning too. What are you doing, sacrificing your soul?

Darkness from X-2. All powerful.

I seem to recall a few X-2 based votes from you. Anything you're not telling us? Maybe we can start a fan club.

Darkness, loved it since I was a kid. Big damage to all enemies for hurting yourself. I also loved Gil Toss for giving me something to do with the ridiculous money I'm able to make by doing well... anything.

And you were doing so well until you mentioned Gil Toss.

Devour. Also did you know you can use it on Rinoa when you fight Adel? tit, answering all of these with FFVIII makes me wanna play it again.

I don't want to think about Squall devouring Rinoa. smurfing weird.

Devour. That frickin' needs to come back.

You're way too into this.

Mug is a great skill, because it allows you to steal without sacrificing damage.

Yes, it is a great skill. Where are the rest of the sensible people?

Second Place (3)
Do you like Sabin, because Blitz is in second. Blitz resulted in some pretty cool tit as Vivi22 will let you know:

Perhaps it's the fighting game fan in me, but I always liked Blitz as a kid. Always useful (what FFVI skill isn't really) and there was some challenge to using it as the game went on and inputs became more complex the stronger the Blitz. Of course, finding out the secret to doing them more easily kind of ruined that, but not on my first playthrough. Plus, and this isn't really mechanics related, but you can Suplex a train. What's not to love?

What's not to love, indeed. Except for the fact that Mugging tit is so much better? Anyway. Nobody else wants to tell us why Blitz is good, so we'll put it down to the train-suplex incident.

First Place (4)
It's nice to see a close contest. But I guess this skill just stole the show! It's... Steal. Do you like puns? I love puns. Puns are awesome. But you people are idiots. Why is Steal better than Mug? It's not, that's what.

Steal is probably my favorite, even though I don't generally like thief classes, I do like getting cool rare swag. In Tactics, a Thief is devastating on the battlefield.

YOU COULD MUG THE SWAG TOO YOU KNOW.

Steal. I steal from everything.

I guess that makes it just fine and dandy then. You people are idiots.
