Final Fantasy VIII Anti-Junction - Boss 6, FakePres/Gerogero

I'm not gonna lie... this was the first tough battle in my no junction game. Mostly because Gerogero has super-high defense (limiting Squall and Zell almost useless), and he inflicts curse, which prevents limitbreaking (thus making that character literally useless!). So the only character that had potential to make a good impact was Selphie, but it took a few attempts of this boss for her to have something decent appear in her Slot! I was hitting my own characters during the Fake President part in order to get limit breaks ready for Gerogero. I got the feeling that I should have levelled-up my characters a bit before hand...
