25th & 10th Anniversary Challenge

(4) Hmm... I was just trying to think of some clever ideas for Kefka because the fight seemed pretty mild on my second playthrough.  Cyan basically just chopped Kefka to bits... even bypassed the boss death animation; he died with a purple flash like a flan.  Maybe I'll just have him punish cheese strategies.

This tend to happen to bosses that dies to a counter attack, the boss animation doesn't play. If that's what happening in your hack, there's a fix:

Code:

Counter Attack fix (for bosses)
-------------------------------

Prevent Bosses to die like a normal monster due to counter attacks.
This fix make sure Bosses use their death animation even after a counter attack.
