I know there are a few recomendations out there on a few sites about the best materia combos, but I use quite a few that people seem to overlook.

a few of mine-

Steal as well+Comet
*using comet2 you will make several attempts to steal WHILE you attack...this just puts Mug to shame..

Added Effect+Hades
*Better to keep it on weapon unless you are facing a boss, gives a well rounded status defense/offense.... or use a ribbon..if you have one

Turbo MP+Ultima
*unleash an incredibly powerful magic attack, great agianst diamond weapon,lol, just watch the Drain on your MP...


-Everybody post some of your favorites, im sure we can come up with a few that are great, and commonly overlooked

A touch hard to get, but here:

Master Command + HP/MP Absorb
*With this, any damaging command (Including your standard "Attack" command) will result in absorbing either 10% of the damage as HP or 1% as MP, depending on the equipped materia.

At the moment, that's the only one I have. I'll play around a bit, and see if I can't come up with more.

W magic, Ultima+Quad, Mime+counter = 16 ultimas lovely at high lvl can deal
100000+ damage and you can use all u like for just 100 mp per battle.


Takes a while to cast but its handy a points


Also instead of casting ultima 2 times use cure3 so that u cure yourself then do 8 ultimas


Also use final attack n phoenix

i just came up with one but i cant test it right now

Gravity 2 or 3+Quadra Magic
and Mega-All

it should cast gravity and reduce their health by half or more and with quadra magic it might do the same amount of damage x3

Oh, I almost forgot about this set:

Counter + Mime; Magic Counter + Restore
*After being hit, the character will cast the highest level Cure spell available from the Materia on themselves, the Mime whatever action they performed before they cast the Cure spell.

When I used this one, it actually worked in the order I described, which I found amusing. I was doing the second part of Yuffie's sidequest, and had her equipped with two mastered Counter + Mime combos, and one Magic Counter (mastered) + Restore (2 stars). Whenever she got hit, she'd first cast Cure2 on herself, then Mime twice the action she'd taken just before casting the Cure spell.

ahhh im usin my combo n i have 33000bp but only 10gp left i so scared.....

i think that he's trying to get enough BP to get the Final attack materia and he only had 10 GP left and only one chance to get the remaining BP and in the end he succeeded

*10,000 Needls!*

Materia combos yeah? Here are some little setups I found quite effective.

Mega-All with Counter-Attacks
IIRC that hits everyone, maybe I should have checked this again before posting. Can't at the moment. I'll edit if it's untrue.
Edit: It's untrue. But I'll add two more to make up for it.

HP<->MP with Sneak Attack/Ultima or Comet2
Excellent for quick battling.

Pre-Emptive.
I use it 100% of the time. A great materia.

Magic Counter/MBarrier on a slot with no growth
Handy for keeping a barrier up the entire battle. I don't use Wall because of the MP cost. Even with the lower MP cost, if you don't have Megalixers, then have some MP gaining set-up like...

Deathblow/MP Absorb
Might need a couple of Hero Drinks to get the luck up as well.

Alexander/Elemental
You'd be surprised by the amount of enemies that are weak to Holy. Plus you get a Holy attack! C'mon it's cool.

Ice/MP Turbo, Ice/Elemental, Magic Plus
Heals better than Cure3. Oh and it costs very little MP, can't complain there. If you're going to be really sneaky, you can set Magic Counter to Ice, and cast Reflect on the enemy you're fighting. Some Hero Drinks can also help increase the healing amount. Better than wasting a turn on using a Megalixer. Then again, you could just set Magic Counter to Cure, but where's the fun in that?

The craziest set-up I've ever used
Ultima/Final Attack x1 (in the top left)
Mime/Final Attack x5
Revive/Final Attack x1
HP<->MP
Pre-Emptive

The amazing thing is that it actually worked really well.

lol i was bored n frustrated

My favorite combo that I use on Yuffie is:

Morph+Steal As Well; Mega All.

Does a lot of damage and steals from everyone, and when it kills them they turn into yet another item.

Another of my favorites is my Meteor Shower (yeah, pathetic name, but who cares? It kills stuff.) [Note: all materia is mastered]

Comet + HP Absorb; Comet + MP Absorb; Comet + Quadra Magic; Comet + Added Cut; Comet + MP Turbo; Comet + Magic Counter; W-Magic, HP Plus.

I defeated both Sephiroths with this and ended with full HP and almost full MP. I used Cid and had his Venus Gosple, Imperial Guard, and Sprint Shoes. This also helped out when I fought the WEAPONs on my non-KOTR trial.

--------------------

Oh yeah?
Well, can you kill two stones with one bird?
I didn't think so.

cause i havent seen this thread 4.2 million times

i'd have to say

Master Magic-Master Summon
Master Command- W-Item
W-Magic- W-Summon
(I think you can have two of these )W- Magic - MP Absorb
(Once again) W-Summon - Mp Absorb
Final Attack - Pheonix

Aujourdhui a commence avec toi.

I have to agree with the person who mentioned Alexander + Elemental, that is an awesome combination.

W-Summon (KOtR + MP Turbo)
Poison + Added Effect
Magic Counter + Transform
Counter + Morph
HP Absorb + Steal
Sneak Attack + Shield
W Magic (Mega All)

"...quite possibly the greatest game ever made"

right now this is the best I can come up with:

Counter Attack + Slash All/Double Cut

It worked wonders for me.

Do you mean Counter + Slash All/Double Cut? The Counterattack materia delivers a normal attack when triggered, regardless of whether or not you have either of those equipped.

Some good ones:

Final Attack + Phoenix
Double Cut + Steal as well
Sneak attack + Barrier
Added Effect + Hades\Destruct
Elemental + Any magic spell or summon elemental.

I haven't played FFVII in a while, so I can't guarantee some of these will work out perfectly. It's been a while for me.

Some bad ones:

Knights Of The Round + Quadra Magic
Knights Of The Round + Magic Counter

Meh.

I hate to say it but Double-Slash doesn't work with Counter. Counter/Slash-All is good though I agree.

The best, IMO is Restore-All.
It serves well throughout the entire game and is always my most used materia combo, I usually have it on at least two characters as well.
I can't think of a more useful one.

In the end, it boils down to two simple choices. Either you do or you don't.

Double cut, Hp boost, Counter-Mime Counter-Mime Counter-Mime
Counter-Mime Counter-Mime Counter-Mime . I think you would know what to do with this combination ^^.

Magic Counter/MBarrier on a slot with no growth[/i]

Handy for keeping a barrier up the entire battle. I don't use Wall because of the MP cost. Even with the lower MP cost, if you don't have Megalixers, then have some MP gaining set-up like...

why do you use it on a slot with no growth?

I'd guess it is so that the materia doesn't level up so much that it gains the Wall ability. Since Magic Counter utilises the materia's best move, and Wall is the best move, then its better for sweetdude to have no-growth, so Wall is never learnt.
