Anything that involves encounters is heavily luck-reliant. Anything that involves encounter skipping is skill-based. Anything that involves both is bound to be no fun...

First of all, the encounter skipping in this segment uses a non-freestyling route. Additionally, only two encounters had to be skipped, however, as you can see, these skips occur in very quick succession, making it rather tricky not to fail at the second one.

The Air Buster battle is longer than it could be (it lasts for 31 seconds, while it could last for only 20 seconds). Obviously, that was done on purpose as Cloud needs to have a Limit Break after this battle. Therefore, not only did Barret's Limit Break have to be a critical hit on Air Buster but also did Barret's Limit Break gauge have to be filled during this battle in the first place, which means Air Buster's counter had to hit Barret critically. I hope you get the gist of it, this battle was horrible.

Regardless, I had to follow this strategy because it will allow me to save more than 30 seconds in a future segment. What is more, it will also help me save grenades, thus money and thus even more time (around 10 seconds) by not having to pick up the Ether in the flowerbed by Aerith' house.
