One of two throwaway vids I'm about to delete off my hard drive.

The reason I haven't uploaded anything on Cubia is because despite the power of Skeith's ultimate form, there seem to be no shortcuts of any kind you can take in these fights. The only one I found is that a lucky slash at the right moment can break the Gomora chains in the latter Alpha battles before they ever think of charging you, but I only pull that off once in the video. The front Gomora (where the shield/shot magnet is) has to cross Skeith's scythe's line of fire, which isn't very often before the chain attacks.

The only thing that might seperate this video from the others you may have seen is that I fully stop Chaos Gehenna twice. The way in which I pull it off though is dangerous; you have to rapidly dash backwards six times as fast as possible, then into the sixth dash, start up the scythe combo and take out as many as possible. Done correctly (and with a little luck), the last of the Gomoras will be lagging behind long enough to be wiped out. If you mess up though, you're gonna take almost all of the attack. It's easy to mess up too because you're waiting for the last possible second to begin the assault. The dashing backwards is to buy time, waiting for as many Gomoras as possible to come out and get caught in the scythe's waves along with putting the necessary distance between you and the tail end of the stampede.

There also seems to be a bug in which sometimes Skeith uses a normal shot at the beginning of the Gehenna even though you never hit square, and you see it in the video. Dunno what causes it, but it just makes Chaos Gehenna that much worse when it occurs. The attack doesn't become impossible to dodge of course since I did just that, but it is very scary to see when your strategy doesn't involve normal shots.

EDIT: I know what this bug is now. The game remembers the last button(s) pressed as the Chaos Gehenna cutscene starts and completes the action afterward. Considering the difficulty in avoid this attack in the first place, that's a bad problem. All I can say is if you can, watch what you push when this attack is coming. Foresight is your only means of avoiding this bug.
