Battle Notes for Nerds:

This fight was tricky because Zack's Meteor shots are so slow that they don't hit Sephiroth in time if used after shadowy chains. Therefore, it was difficult to stagger Sephiroth during Octaslash, which necessitated a dodge of Octaslash.
It's possible to time the meteor shots so that you "jump" the shadowy chains, but even then, it's difficult to precisely control the stagger bar so that you stagger him during octaslash.
In Sephiroth's first phase, he does 6 shadowy chains then Octaslash. He is pressured after 5 abilities
I used 3 high bravers, a chain slash, and another high braver for the 5 abilities. I use chain slash for the 4th ability because another high braver would push him to his second phase too soon.
After pressuring him, I move him towards the center of the arena so that it's easier to dodge Octaslash.
After dodging Octaslash, the second phase begins where Sephiroth has elemental affinities. My goal in this phase was to build my limit and make sure that it hit.
It's easy to build limit since blocking level 3 elemental spells builds limit quickly, but Sephiroth can dodge your limit with his teleportation attacks, so you need to make sure that it hits.
If the limit hits, it will stagger him since the final hit of Zack's limit does massive stagger damage.
Once staggered, the battle is basically over. Chain slash, High braver KO
