I remember my first playthrough I read that you could switch to manual, but I had no idea how to actually do it in the game. I thought I was on manual since I could choose my character's breaking actions, but only later did I find the triangle menu and was so pissed.

Also Jecht Shot is weak but you can very reliably rush the goal and initiate a break encounter with just 2 defenders 90% of the time. The other 10% it's just 3, which only requires small RNG to score. This also requires you to know the secret button that forces an encounter. So overall the strategy requires you to know 3 secrets to win that first match.

I can't say I don't find that charming, after replaying the game like 8x. But it's reallyyyy bad for the first playthrough.
