Tales of Symphonia (GCN) - Mania - How to Defeat a Bacura Easily

Just use a unison attack to reset its 30 second escape timer. You will also be able to start a combo this way. A Bacura can either be found on the path to the SE Abbey or from the cyclopian flying thing surrounded by four gems in Toize Valley Mines. A Bacura has 256 HP on all difficulties, but Mania mode will give you ridiculous amounts of GRADE. (see other Youtube videos for people breaking the 11 GRADE limit!)

Suggested Strategy:
Control Lloyd: All Raining Tiger Blade OR Sword Rain: Alpha and C-Stick Shortcuts for Presea's Fiery Destruction and Colette's Ring Whirlwind.
Genis: Set techs to only tidal wave, cyclone, or spark wave
Colette: Ring Whirlwind Spam
Presea: Fiery Destruction Spam

TIP: Use a tp-restoring cooking recipe (like fruit cocktail) to instantly gain back TP before taking on more for Grade. Saves you lots of Gels

Er... are you using dolphin to emulate this, since it's ridiculously high quality. ^-^"

@Thenarutounitedxx Thanks! This is actually straight off my gamecube over a gamebridge, but I recorded in progressive scan mode.

I once got +20 grade for beating kratos the first time, you know. but that was years ago... so my memory may be fuzzy.
