I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but if you have any dead party members, BabaBreath will automatically target them no matter who you select. That might account for the strange targeting issues you're experiencing.

You need Setzer to Joker Doom the Intangir, I'm guessing? If you have Smoke Bombs and Muddle, you can do it with Relm instead. Cast Muddle on Relm and have her use a Smoke Bomb, and she'll use it on Intangir and the party will still earn AP from the battle. There are certain circumstances where this trick will fail, but I think I've grokked it. If you use the smoke bomb too quickly after casting muddle, it won't work. I'm guessing that the cutoff point is after the person using muddle enters their "casting" state.

The Ribbon isn't used in a speed run, either. It's more about the Runningshoes, which will help Locke's turn come up quicker before finishing Zozo, so he can get Smoke Bombs off sooner. But the TAS manipulates preemptive strikes, anyway.

Hi everyone. I'm abyssonym, I do some FF6 hacking and speedrunning. Brossentia, I don't think that such an item could exist. The reason for this is because unlike BabaBreath, sketch is not a spell. It's hard coded into the battle system, and doesn't have a spell ID. You can see a list of spells and their corresponding items here: http://www.tales-cless.org/docs/ff6hack.htm#magic . For example, "Black Belt" has the same ID as "engulf". Something I wonder is whether "sneeze" could be used in a similar way as BabaBreath. As for Kutan strats, I've talked about it with LCC and he tends to think it's still worth it to get Celes, since she helps out against Number 024 and you can pick up some nice relics on the way to meet her. Also, Kutan dies very easily against espers and doesn't soak up damage as well as Celes. I would very much like for Kutan to become the standard though.
