Editing Guard Scorpion (section)

===Damage Rolls===
Since in basically every speedrun the only fight that is won before this fight starts is the first fight against two MP enemies by the train, the set of possible stats Cloud could have at this point is very narrow, and Barret always has the same stats since he has not won any fights.

====Cloud Magic ====
At level 6 when the game starts, Cloud has a base magic stat of 19. After the first fight, Cloud's magic stat increases with the following distribution:
{| class="wikitable"
! colspan="2" |Cloud's Level 7 Base Magic Stat
|-
|1/8 Chance
| 19
|-
|3/8 Chance
|20
|-
|3/8 Chance
|21
|-
| 1/8 Chance
|22
|}
Note that this is Cloud's base magic stat, not his net magic stat. Since Cloud has Lightning and Ice materia equipped, plus the Buster Sword, his net magic stat is 4 more than his base magic stat.

The following is a breakdown of the damage rolls you get for each of Cloud's potential magic stats
