hey ,

beating shinru is easy...al you need to do is get your tidus or wakka strong and have there celestial weapons,i use tidus cuz wakka is rubbish

anyway at the start of the battle have tidus kill off wakka and rikku so now shinryu cant use his eraser attack

if tidus has the coladborg (spelling?) then he will counter attack all of shinryus attacks except for the shining

but shinryu also counters, cast haste on tidus and use quick hits when you have the chance

once your limit is full just use blitz ace

also try not to let your hp drop to beneth 8,000

hope this helps
