The goal here is to defeat Guard Scorpion before he raises the Tail, without using both Limits since I need a ready to use Limit for Airbuster (and there's no way you can get damaged enough from an empty limit bar without losing a lot of time).

For that to happen a lot of luck is required, I need a pre-emptive Bolt and a critical limit from either Barret or Cloud. 
A pre-emptive attack from Barret+critical attack+critical Limit could work too.
Now it should be clear why I wanted them to be damaged enough at the first save, else getting a Limit before he raises the Tail is much harder.

I finally got it after ~150 attempts, which is probably pretty lucky considering I estimated the odds of getting it right at 1/750 :P (mainly because getting a pre-emptive Bolt is hard so a lot of attempts fail there).

Ah yeah also, I'm not inhumanly fast selecting Bolt, if you hold Down+Circle at the start of the battle it will be selected automatically (somehow Down takes priority over Circle). 

Time: 9:25

36 seconds ahead of Garland!! HELL YEAH!
