Damn man, I had one of the most epic longest lasting battles I've ever had, I hit that bastard with X2 Omnislash, 1 Highwind, one big 30K each shot with the Missing Score, and X3 KOTR, I use a Light Curtain + Megalixer combo whenever I can to keep the party up, but as deep as it goes he starts one shotting everyone, from a certain point he always hit you with 30K no matter which attack he does and no matter if you have Barrier up, damn this bastard I could have swore I had him with that last KOTR.

That sounds like it should've been more than enough. KOTR does about 130,000 per cast (if it's hitting for 9999), so three of those would be 390k. Add that Missing Score shot and it's 420k. Then there's two blasts of Omnislash that are hitting for about 27k per strike? That's about 400k each time it's used (which would kill Green Omega outright, he has 800,000HP). And then the Highwind shot which hits for most likely 100k again if not more. Only thing I can think of is that KOTR is hitting for much less than 9999 or maybe the limits are weaker from a different set-up.

KOTR hit him for 6K something, the 2nd one for 2K and the 3rd one for 4k something again, the 1st Omni for 27K and the 2nd one for 14K, 4 shots of 30K the Highwind hits him for 9K something, maybe my set up is not the greatest Sega Man :(
 
It's not so much set-up as it is losing Hero Drink buffs when people inevitably get killed. You could maybe try getting someone's magic to 200 or so by equipping two Magic Plus, that'll let them hit fairly hard with KOTR consistently even without Hero Drinks. Might give that little extra edge.

Maybe I will try that, you gave me another idea indeed :)
 
Truth is, I cannot beat him yet, I'm using too many materia slots to replace the stats of Dexterity and Luck and I need those slots for something else, I gotta go back to Genilka and gather more sources then try it again.
 
If you raise a stat to 170 then you only need one Speed/Luck Plus to max it instead of two but it's a tough grind to go back to. I think you should keep trying, you're landing heavy hits so it's a case of getting a good run where you can land just one or two more. You could always boost stats a bit using accessories like Amulet or Chocofeather; it means Omega Disaster/Nuclear Devastation is a bit riskier and you might need to use Remedies to heal the ailments it causes but it'd potentially save time.

Thanks Sega Chief, today I tried many times without being effective, but no worries, because I don't mind grinding, specially now when I almost had him dead.

I'm not giving up on this any time soon and looking forward to playing that mod I saw you playing on youtube(you were fighting the Jenova that drops Ifrit if I'm not mistaken) whenever is it ready :D
 
BTW what do you use to record the videos you upload in youtube Sega Chief? Maybe I'll record that battle if I can.
 
I use Fraps; it seems to be loss-less frame capture because if you speed up the videos to 2x and something gets hit with Slow they appear to be moving normally, which can be a bit confusing. Problem is, it's heavy on the computer and tends to be 4GB for 10 minutes of footage. I only recommend using it if the free/trial version doesn't lag your machine out; a decent processor and multiple cores is definitely what you'll need for good Fraps performance.
 
Almost there, I'm just making sure all 3 will get 255 Dex and 255 Luck with the help of just one maxed Luck Plus and Speed Plus, there's only one character left to give a few sources and we'll go and beat Omega once and for all.
 
I defeated him.

I beat Omega.

I won the battle against Omega.

He turned red and disappeared and died.

But.

My only character who was alive had low health and he had dual and after saying he was impressed and stuff, my character ran out of HP and as soon as he died, GAME OVER.

Oooooooooooooo..... That sucks, but I couldn't help laughing  :evil:. Dual is a part of the game man! Since you "beat" him I guess you had a good strat?

You could set battle dialogue to it's fastest speed, that'd make it slightly less likely to happen again  :wink:

Well, I entered the fight with Cid and Cloud both Limit Breaks ready, first stage I pump up the team with Hero Drinks, 5 per each and after I'm done with that I shoot with the heavy Missing Score, next stage I shoot again while healing if necessary, 3rd stage I do the same till I get to his final form.

When I kills his 3rd stage, I immediately choose Cloud to hit with his Omnislash, 27K each hit, next turn I heal and use Light Curtain hoping that I can catch him with Highwind.

The rest of the fight its just surviving and trying to hit him with KOTR with 2 MP Turbos, hitting him with Missing Score its useless because I hit him for 1 HP :(

On the same turn I try to heal I use the Double Item materia so I can use Megalixer + Light Curtain or Megalixer + Holy Torch.

The hard part is hitting him while he's not using Adrenaline because sometimes I wait for the moment till it wores out, but as soon and I do the command he does Adrenaline just before the attack commences :(

Thank Sega Chief, I'm gonna do that next time, I gave it a shot after that happened but I was heartbroken and he beat me, I haven't tried ever since :(

He was almost dead! I know it because I hit him hard a couple of times grrr....

Something I've discovered, using Double Item materia while fighting his final form will activate his Adrenaline if you abuse it.

Another thing is Coin hits hard!

He will fall soon I know it.
 
This most difficult battle I've ever fought  has been accomplished, I have no words at the moment and I'm grateful to all the tips you guys gave me :)

KOTR did it, after hitting him with Omnislash at the beginning of the battle, I survived a bit to hit him with 2 Highwinds, I wasted all my money which was a lot of money on Coin, which hit him with 30K everytime I used it. Just before I used the last KOTR that killed him, the last Coin I used hit him for 17K which indicated that I ran out of it :( but it was worth it, Omega will haunt me no more and I will finish the rest of the game soon.

I don't know how many people have legit beat him, but I tell ya if feels great when you do, all I did was pump up Luck and Dexterity like Sega Chief indicated, after I saw how hard I could hit him with KOTR I put on 2 master Magic Plus materia and 2x MP TURBO + KOTR as you can see in the short celebration video :)

It is not over, but I bet the rest isn't going to be as difficult as this bastard, thanks again and though this will be over soon, I'm kinda sad its coming to an end :(
 
Congrats  :)

I can finally share my strategy now, which I find pretty legit:
