Racing on twitch with Beyond Chaos

If i'm not wrong when i fought Atma i tossed him all the shields and best throwables i had(i must say that Palidor helped as well) so that i was able to kill him before he could cast Meteor, it should be a bet in any case.

Uhm, so Cecil is agree... at this point what about this one:
We still search the 12 shops but the time limit is 3 hours.
That basically means that more or less the race will end at the switch room, but in this way speed won't be the only factor to count and you won't spend the 4th hour getting walled from bosses.

That will also give the chance of searching the last 3 shops to who spent more time in exploring/grinding in order to steamroll enemies in the 3rd area.
Kefka and Atma are virtually impossible to kill in 3 hours, so we can forget about them...

I can confirm that in my race 1 party literally didn't even need to fight(sure, due to moogle charm) but even using gale hairpin + running away grants really good chances to reach the switch without fighting really much(Lockirby2 reached the switch room with an avg party lv ~10 so it's not a big problem)
