    FF7 Any% notes

    Midgar:

    Reactor 1
    - menu-> switch battlemode active, max all speeds, camera fixed

    Guard Scorpion:
    Hold down+circle for fast bolt, try to get 1st turn with char with higher atb, always attack first with guy who gets attacked so you can do 3 actions when gettin limit. When u had limit, force 2 limitbars by attacking twice with bolt during tailphase, else wait out and use 3 bolts+2attacks afterwards.

    Reactor 5
    - on the 2nd wagon grab the hipotion from the guy at the end, then menu-> barret Assault Gun , remove ice from Cloud, barret to backrow(unless have no limit yet)

    Airbuster:
    Tifa attack, then Braver, then Big Shot. If Cloud or Barret have no limit jus hold circle from the start.


    Sector 6
    - go to the weapon shop BEFORE goibg to aeris house, sell only the potions and buy 21 grenades
    - dont pick up the stuff in Aeris garden

    Aps:
    Preemptive: If Tifa has limit hold up+circle to spam 3x grens, then after selectin Clouds second grenade hold down+circle to select beatrush and send it off jus on the first YEAH! then spam grenades for the rest of the fight. If Tifa has no limit open with a sword slash, and 2xgrens, then bolt with Cloud and then grens for the rest.

    Non-Preemptive: Either Tifa or Cloud should have the limitbar in a position that it will fill during the fight. This char will get an extra grenade off if you do the order correctly. Wait for the first tsunami then use bolt and 4 grens selecting the limit char's action as the third. Now if you get a limit after the first Tsunami immediately send off the 5th grenade using the fast atb if it is tifa and use Braver if it is Cloud. If the limit did not fill yet wait with the character so he acts third again selecting the other chars grenades beforehand during the second Tsunami, then hold circle.

    -pick up potion on train grave
    - spam grenades on reno, try gettin 1st turn grenades by holdin up+circle on the start
    - go to the shop in sector 5 again and sell everything you have except 1 hi-potion and the 2xpotion and buy 63 grenades
    - menu->everyone backrow, atb wait


    Shinra HQ:
    ​- pick up the Elixir on the stairs
    - on the mighty grunts try get a first turn again holdin up+circle with the first char , with the other 2 use a grenade on the other 2 enemies because their atbs get emptied when the armor breaks, so every char targets a different enemy, then make sure to target them in. the same order again (holding circle the target may switch)

    Sample H0512:
    - spam grenades on main boss usin atb wait trick which means holdin with your action until all other teammates have their atbs empty, be careful about selectin correct target everytime, memory cursor wont do it for you

    - dont pick up enemy skill, menu->atb active, nanaki backrow
    - pick up poison materia
    - remove materia with aeris, spam grenades on all bosses till motorcycle except startin with braver on rufus dog if you can
    - save your game on slot 1 after rufus on floor 69 before talkin to tifa
    - before bike game, restore on barret, bolt+poison on cloud

    Motorball:
    Start with Bolt from Cloud, others use grenade. Hold circle until you selected 2 more bolts with Cloud after twin burner, then wait until everyones atb is refilled and hold circle again to finish. If Clouds damage is mostly over 205 you can use a grenade with him at the end.





    First Warp:

    - save on slot 2 before entering kalm
    - go to the item shop, buy 2 hyper, 4 tranq, 1 tent
    - do not use photoskip, on pc you can not complete the flashback with it, it will softlock just before entering the reactor
    - after exiting the mythril mines save on slot 3 in the junon area
    - reload slot 2 and get into the flashback
    - use photoskip and suicide one screen before the bridge (go back, don talk to tifa)
    - reload slot 3 and win a worldmap fight spamming grenades, then cross the bridge and run over to the savepoint using tunnel 1
    - menu->phs: cloud/aeris/barret, reselect aeris limit lv to empty her limit bar, check aeris attack status: if it is 31 give her ice, if it is 32 give her mythril armlet and ice+fire, tranquilizer on everyone, save on slot 3

    Materia Keeper:
    He has a 16% chance to open with trine which will kill your team, as soon as you recognize that happening reset and reload. Start with poison from Cloud, Barret heals whoever got attacked and Aeris has an Elixir ready to use. Repeat this until poison hits, then use Elixir on mk with Aeris, then Potion on mk with Cloud+Barret, attack with Aeris for 13 (1/256 chance for 14 and chance for miss/crit, in either case reset) and finally use hipotion on mk with Cloud.



    Rocket Town:
    - on the wm menu-> phs: Cloud/nanaki/barret , use the tent, tranq nanaki
    - if barret died on mk swap him for tifa, give her restore and tranq her
    - get the Yoshiyuki from the old man next to the item shop by talkin to him 3 times, menu->yoshi on cloud, counterattack on cloud replacin lightning, everyone frontrow

    Palmer:
    Repeat poison with cloud and healin with barret/tifa until poison hits, then use grenades and limitbreaks. Make sure you use the limits so that they extend the amount of turns you get for extra poison ticks, still use braver asap after poison hit even if that condition is not met so you dont waste limit bar on cloud. After all limits were used, do 1 more round of grenades and healing, then stop healing except Cloud gets hit, 1 char other than Cloud dies optimally.



    Second Warp:

    - get the tiny bronco to the coast of midgar, menu->phs a dead party member in if you have one, remove sadness with hypers on every char other than cloud who is alive, swap restore to cloud replacin poison
    - head to the mythril mines, next battle kill everyone except cloud using yoshi hits (might wanna use atb wait)
    - run through the mines to junon area again and save on slot 3, put Cloud backrow
    - reload slot 1, suicide on motorball, prepare maximum dmg to tifa and barret on bike minigame by keeping the truck on the right wall surrounded by enemy bikes
    - reload slot 3 and find and defeat yuffie in the small forest closest to you, heal in between fights if health drops below 380
    - after encounterin and defeatin yuffie with yoshi hits, you will warp to motorball, defeat it with normal attacks as well



    Third Warp:

    - leave midgar usin the paralyzin dodge skip even if it makes trouble so nobody gets healed, menu->phs to cloud/barret/nanaki if not the team already, heal cloud
    - take the tiny bronco to rocket town area and enter the nibel mountains, wait for dialogue, skip it until you can move back to the worldmap
    - take the bronco to gold saucer area and farm for the fight against one flapbeat and 3 spencers and escape that, too, now put cloud to frontrow and phs if cloud/barret/nanaki was not your party with 2 dead teammembers, then win a fight on the beach which will warp you to the debug room



    Debug Room:

    - run down, talk to the cloud next to you, select ima... , Vincent, then run left to yuffie select member zenin and item iroiro, use switch button (square on psx mapping triangle on standard pc mapping) to get to page 2, talk to her again and select MENU ON, FULL NAME and FULL MATERIA
    - menu->phs: Cloud/Vincent/Cid, equip Ultimate Sword on Cloud and Venus Gospel on Cid, give cid and cloud doublecut (on cloud replacin counterattack) and give vincent steal and master magic materia
    - talk to yuffie twice doin BATTLE999, then press switch button again, give Death Penalty to Vincent and talk to the downmost tifa selecting LAS4_4

    Jenova Birth:
    Use 3 times double cut, then mug

    Bizarro Sephiroth:
    Wait until bizarro energy then use twice doublecut and finally mug

    Safer Sephiroth:
    Wait until wall, then use debarrier, 4 times doublecut, then mug


    Final Sephiroth:
