FF8 Max damage before Timber

So me and a friend where having a conversation about FF8 and I mentioned that it was possible to do 9999 damage before leaving for timber (first mission as SeeD) so uh....yeah that shows him huh?

Its late and I am far too lazy to check my grammar etc so forgive any horrendous English.

To get 200 strength + 3k health this early it takes about 30 mins - 1 hour depending on your luck (I spent about 40 minutes waiting for Zell's mother to give me the damn Zell card)
Anyways first thing you need to do is get the card mod ability, so just work on that while completeing the dollet mission (also need strength +20% and + 40%) once you hve your SeeD rank go win yourself a Quistis card and refine it into 3 samantha souls now go outside and get diablo ( I assume you know how to do these basic things) with diablo learn the time/space magic refine ability. Once you have that go win the Zell card and refine it into 3 hyper wrists.
(That's everything you need for ax strength , if you don't care about health stop here)
Now go draw 100 sleep ( you may have already if you decided to fight the T-rex) and head to the training center, defeat several T-rex's an refine the dinosaur bones into Quakes (using Diablos time/space refine) and junction them to your health.
You can card the T rex and refine the cards into dinosaur bones to speed the process up.
Once all this is done use darkside ( did I forget to mention you needed that?) and get a critical (very easy with the gunblade), proceed to 1 shot the rest of disc 1 and 2. (well... maybe not 2..I didn't really bother to check)

Oh and I should note that this rather ruins the fun of the game so I'd advise you to not do this on your first time through.

9999 damage with 16th level, unmodified weapons, and limited selection of spells to junction, most impressive. I never bothered with Darkside command, but now it seems it requres a second look.

@fadinho89 Not only that is a waste of Seifer card. (You can basically buy tents and refine them into curagas)

But quake is better than curaga for HP

100 curaga = +2200 HP

100 quake = +2600 HP

100 tornado = +3000 HP

[fadinho89]

get the seifer card from cid, and card mod into 3 diamond armor, and the rf into 50 cottages, and rf 5 of them into 100 curagas for hp... its better than quake..

also if you been playing cards and winning, be sure to also get the abyss worm card... 5 of them will rf into 5 windmill, and 5 windmill will rf into 100 tornados, when i did that, my hp will reach 5k, if you have diablos hp20,hp40,hp80, easily can reach 9999. all before timber!

Im a nooblet, but after you get the 3 samantha souls and hyper wrists, how does that effect the max str?
