As usual, Tifa is our character of choice against Rude, who doesn't use his signature move (Grand Spark) against her. After wiping his goons, our first order of business is to Steal the Ziedrich. During this process, Rude will only attack us physically. Like the last Turk battle, we're only taking minor damage (and not even every turn), so there's not much chance of dying. Still, the process takes a while since we only have a 1/21 chance of getting it. Barrier is worth it this time to avoid the fight dragging out longer.

This is not actually the version of the fight from the completed playthrough. Originally, I also stole some 8-Inch Cannons from the Attack Squads accompanying Rude. This process takes ages and frankly isn't worth it; I originally thought these could have some use in the final battles, but that turned out not to be the case. Therefore, I decided to cut that out and trim the recording to the important stuff. This is why I have the Headband equipped: I didn't want the Attack Squads to put Tifa to sleep while Stealing from them. I forgot that he'd start using Bolt 2 after we started attacking, so I didn't prep for it here. None of the other battles in this section are worth showing.
