The goal here is to defeat Guard Scorpion before he raises the Tail, without using both Limits since I need a ready to use Limit for Airbuster (and there's no way you can get damaged enough from an empty limit bar without losing a lot of time).

For that to happen a lot of luck is required, I need a pre-emptive Bolt and a critical limit from either Barret or Cloud.
A pre-emptive attack from Barret+critical attack+critical Limit could work too.
Now it should be clear why I wanted them to be damaged enough at the first save, else getting a Limit before he raises the Tail is much harder.

I finally got it after ~150 attempts, which is probably pretty lucky considering I estimated the odds of getting it right at 1/750 :P (mainly because getting a pre-emptive Bolt is hard so a lot of attempts fail there).

Ah yeah also, I'm not inhumanly fast selecting Bolt, if you hold Down+Circle at the start of the battle it will be selected automatically (somehow Down takes priority over Circle).

Time: 9:25

36 seconds ahead of Garland!! HELL YEAH!

Note: For more information on the speedrun, check the speedrunfaq on gamefaqs (link in my profile).

  • What do you mean, pre-emptive Bolt?

  • @Taylor255 I mean to use Bolt before the First Search Scope.

  • @lolo262626 Ohh okay. So you workin on the next segment?

  • @Taylor255

    Yeah somewhat, but right now I have little time to play. I'll most likely have more time in a couple of weeks (I expect I need a lot of attempts).

  • When next speedrun seg? Been waiting a while and forgot to sub :O

  • Common lolo been a month and a half :p... Hopefully times frees up for you. its difficult to do a speed run.. but i notice the higher clouds attack in the first battle determines which stats he has. when his base attack is 40 dmg his magic stat will be 26 after he levels.. I noticed this last night

  • Nice one being ahead of Garland, but do you hav the patience required for the next segments to match his research of perfrection? Well, gl to you, ill look for to the next segments.

  • @flak76e yes it can ;) there are some segments that I nearly went insane on, and that was shooting for a ~9:00 game rather than a perfect game! Final fantasy VII speedrun = the ultimate test of patience.

  • Well I hope you have the patience to finnish it. It can´t be that bad.
