None. It's like a chocolate teapot.

Well I would at least assume a chocolate teapot tastes good.

Yep, it's accurate. ^^ The only "good" thing I can think is that Beatrix also uses the same sword art, so if she ever uses it on you during battle, the same thing applies to her, and she'll miss.

Otherwise, I have no idea why that sword art is in there at all...

At least with a chocolate teapot, you get something yummy. Thunder Slash = wasted MP. Which is a bummer. ;_;

But I could swear I recall Beatrix's Thunder Slash hitting my characters before, and for pretty significant damage.

I remember this too. Beatix can use Thunder Slash, and its really powerfull in the fight. I also used it at that dogs in Alexandria, so its accurate with Beatrix

But it really doesn't work with Steiner? Anyone wanna get on FFIX right now and test it out?

Zulu

I've tested it, and it does not work. It did however work for Beatrix one time, but that was just Beatrix displaying her superiority. Seriously, I've tested it so many times, and it haven't worked once.

Really?? Dude, I coulda sworn that she would miss my team when I fought her.

*goes to try it out*

...maybe I just got lucky. XPPP

I guess it's good for Beatrix then, but not for Steiner. Ah well. A useless ability. A weird quirk in the game.

It hits when Beatrix uses it, but not with Steiner, for some bizzare reason.....

Well that can't be since I've managed to use Thunder Slash with Steiner?

And again, the success rate of Steiner doing the Thunder Slash is much less than when Beatrix uses it. She has done it multiple times on my FF9 crew so the "same rule" doesn't apply to her. It doesn't even apply for Steiner, well it's a far less success rate but I've managed to do the Thunder Slash a couple of times with Steiner.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. I didn't just make that up, I took it from Final Fantasy Online (www.ffonline.com), and I've playing this game since it came out, and it hasn't worked a single time.

Well, I guess it varies; it might work, or it might not work, there is no way of proving either. Personally, it's never worked for me, and I've never met anyone whose managed to get it to work either.

Why do you continue to post here, is it possible to be more hated than you currently are.

Also yes I was an FF7 fanboy, but the longer I've stayed here and read the points others have made, the more flaws I see in the game. Then when the trilogy shite come out, that was it, I hung up my FF7 fanboyism forever.

SAIN GTFO FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY. SURELY WE HAVE RIGHTS NOT TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR INCOMPREHENSIBLE BULLSHIT.
