FFVII - Midgar Zolom - Earliest/Lowest Level Beta

Ok, so you've seen me defeat him on the lowest level possible, but that's only possible because you avoid Beta. So, how about learning Beta on the lowest level possible?The lowest leveled character who can survive Beta at this point (before getting the Fire Ring in Costa del Sol) is a level 11 Barret equipped with a Talisman, Elemental=Fire in his armor and with Sadness status. In addition to Barret, Cloud is on level 8, which is the lowest possible for him at this point and I decided to bring my good old level 5 Tifa along too. Therefore, my average level for this battle is 8.So, how to do this? Just poison him and wait until he uses Beta? If you've seen my level 5 Tifa video, you know that doesn't work. Beta isn't an attack he uses randomly. He will only use it as a counter attack when his HP is under 1500 IF he already stood up and kicked a character out of the battle. Those are also counter attacks, used when his HP falls below 3000 and 2000, respectively.Poison is still the way to go, though, as it makes the battle easier and quicker. Give Poison and Sense to the character you want to get kicked out of the battle. Preferably, the one with the lowest HP, so that's Tifa. Then make Cloud the healer and give the Enemy Skill Materia to Barret in addition to Elemental=Fire in his armor, which he cannot survive Beta without.After poisoning him, Sense him and wait until his HP falls below 3000. Then attack him once to make him stand up. Next, when his HP falls below 2000, have Tifa attack. This should make him kick Tifa out of the battle, but for some reason, it doesn't always work. If that's the case, just attack again. If he doesn't kick out Tifa immediately the first time she attacks, he might kick out someone else and that's very bad.If he does kick out Tifa, you can just wait until his HP falls below 500 and have Barret attack. Just make sure he's got full HP, or he won't survive Beta. However, even at full HP, there's a chance he won't survive it, depending on his HP, Spirit and the damage. Stats increase randomly at level up, so he won't necessarily have 428 HP. If he had less than 500 HP when Barret attacked, he should die from poison after casting Beta.That's how it's done. If you want a higher chance of surviving Beta, you can just level up Barret to 12, where he will survive it on full HP either way. BTW, this was done at the earliest point possible, before I even went to Kalm.
