FF7 (First Reactor Boss Rush) Bonus Episode - Safer-Sephiroth at level 49

I originally did this at level 98 because the game froze at Super Nova. I was told this happens because the animation doesn't exist on disc 1. I already suspected that was the reason, but what I didn't know is that you can bypass this by simply switching discs as the battle loads. So, why didn't I just redo the battle at a lower level? Like I said, it would have been extremely luck reliant and I'd have to level up a lot anyway.

That's why this is just a demonstration of how the battle would have played out. It's been heavily manipulated with save states, so it's not a legit battle, but I wanted to show it anyway. Here's how it must go down:

Every Shadow Flare and Break must hit Cloud (50/50 chance three times)
Every Pale Horse must hit Barret (50/50 chance at least twice)
The first Super Nova must not inflict Silence and preferably not Confusion unless you can recover from it
You can get Silence from the second Super Nova, but you still can't get screwed over by Confusion
Cloud's level 3 spells can't miss too often

I don't know the odds of Super Nova being kind, but considering it's already a 1/32 chance of success from the first two steps, it's not looking great. Manipulating the RNG is mostly done by switching between Ice3 and Bolt3, since they have different durations. Anyway, that's truly the end of this challenge, so thanks for watching and see you at the next one.
