God I hated that bitch.  I'm too old to memorize animations and react to them.  I so just wanted to spam her to death.  I probably tried 100 different gear setups and failed all of them and quit for a month.

I've heard that you must discipline yourself to "hit just once" and then you will pay more attention to reacting to the animations and then you will learn them.  But I never learned them.  I'm too old and too in-my-head to be the fast-twitch sensory reactor necessary to excel at this kind of game.

But I'm nothing if not determined, and so by luck eventually one of my many attempts worked.
