Some battles stretch on and on for ages before you win. Some battles amaze you with their swiftness. Some battles unfold in the craziest of ways. And some battles end in tragedy, due to the most embarassing circumstances.

Personally, the craziest battle I can remember is in FFVI. I returned to the Opera House after the catastrophe and found myself battling the fearsome Earth Dragon. After Mog had shifted the battleground to the plains with a dance, Mr. Dragon proceeded to floor the party with his earthquake attacks, save for a certain gambler, vis-a-vis Setzer. It seemed that I had unwittingly equiped him with armour that absorbed Earth damage. So for every few hundred HP he lost from physical attacks, he gained a lot from the earthquakes. What followed was a pretty insane battle where Setzer duked it out with his saurian foe for somewhere around twenty minutes, possibly more, armed with little more than a set of darts and a non-euclidian slot machine.

I won eventually.
