Zeromus HP controversy

I suppose you have always seen walkthrough's stating that he has a certain amount of HP (around the area of 150-200k usually) but to let you in on the truth, he only has 65,498HP. But the twist of it all is, his HP gets a "refresh" at a certain point of his HP being lowered to. The purpose of this page is to let you in on roughly where he gets a HP refresh and how much total damage he received.

I done this with a Level 99 party with a pretty much perfect setup for all characters, just so you know.

 

65,498 <-- Zeromus Total HP

Kain: JUMP (7157)
Edge: Normal Attack; 3604

Zeromus countered (Holy) with "Wall" (@ Edge), which was the same animation as the "Weak" Spell.

Rydia: Baham (9999)
Cecil: Normal Attack; 5270

Zeromus attacked, Big Bang;

So, lets summarize;

• Damage dealt to Zeromus: 125,436
• Damage deal BY Zeromus;
  
  @Cecil: 1809, 884, 1872, 221, 1414 = 6200
  @Kain: 1896, 214, 1554, 781 = 4445
  @Rosa: 1720, 2008, 180, 2136 = 6044
  @Rydia: 1665, 1568, 349, 1547 = 5129
  @Edge: 7328 (Weak Spell)*, 1782, 233, 1608, 2964 = 13,915
  
  * Edge had 7330 HP, he was left with 2 HP after that attack, so 7228 though not officially popped up as a normal attack would.
• Moment the HP cap was possibly refreshed: Turn 15, Kain's Jump inflicting 5474 Damage to be at 2370 HP (63,128 total damage so far)
  (calcs) 3, Z, 2, Z, Z, 2, Z, 2, 2 (63128), (Rosa Cure4), 1 (Cecil Normal Attack) (68126)
• How much more Damage was dealt before Zeromus KO'd: 62,308

Interesting no? ^.^
