Yeah, yeah... say what you want

Anyhow, I'm *barely* playing Xenogears since I wasn't able to get this game until just recently and also 'cause RPGs with mechs. don't really appeal to me. =/

I started last night and I'm at the part where you have to fight those Gebler troops and Elly.
I've only gotten as far as to beat the first two sets, but can't beat Elly. By the time I actually get to the Vierge, my HP is around 1000 and have have hardly any fuel left (try 100 -_-).
I looked at a walkthrough *shame* and it says that Fei can take out one from the first set with 3 or 4 X button attacks and the other with 1 or 2 level 2 combos. That's not true !!. The X button attack ONLY does like 40 in damage and the level 2 attacks do like 150 ! It takes foreva ! Then in the second fight, I have like 2300 HP and medium-ish fuel. In the FAQ, it says that one of the 3 has 300 HP and should be knocked out in 1 combo. This is not so... it takes so long with weak X attacks like 30, and 2 turns to build up the level 2 attack.

Then Elly... well, hell. I'm all dried from the rest and she uses that Aerods attack every two turns. Oh, and ANY normal attack takes away 0.
Then the level 1 and 2 attacks take away 50 and 70.
She's supposed to have 2000+ HPs... how in bloody hell am I gonna get passed it ?

help !
