So, to answer your questions: 1. For the fast fall down, I'm just pressing circle to dodge back down, and it has i-frames which allows me to dodge the first hit of his spear and stay aggressive with either a counter or counterstance. The I frames help auto-time the counter. 2. I liked Aerial Onslaught a lot actually, I calculated it to come out to be 24,601 which while less than Infinity's End still does a good chuck of his health bar and if I can figure out how to fit two into the Stagger window I'll outdamage Infinity's End by a large margin. I still need to add up the whole stagger window and figure out how much damage I did in total. I'm not sure how I feel about using Triple Slash in the Stagger yet. I'm working on optimizing my Berserk timings and sonic booms before Stagger because it's all a balance between hitting him enough to where his health is at half but not triggering his spatial distortion attack. Thanks again for the support! I'll keep trying to cut the time down!

Thank you! I've been hard at work trying to optimize physical Cloud cause he's just too fun for me in this game. Might spread to yuffie too as I haven't seen too many people try to lab her yet as well. I appreciate the support!
