OK, so I've been trying to beat Emerald Weapon for quite a while now, to no avail. I set up the KoR/W-Summon/Mime loop, manage to get 2-3 cycles in, and then when Emerald generates those gems on its shoulders it breaks my mime cycle. Why is that? I mean, isn't W-Summom supposed to give you two consecutive attacks without interruption? So why is Emerald able to attack me between the two summons when I destroy those gems? I've been able to get at most 3 1/2 cycles (so a total of 7 summons) before Emerald interrupts me. The problem is that my KoR materia is only level 2, so I can't restart the cycle, and since I'm trying to beat it to master my less-used materia, I don't have any good attacks besides KoR. Does anyone know of a way to get better chances of getting the full four cycles in, or do I just have to keep trying and hope (probably in vain) that Emerald doesn't break the cycle?

Emerald taking an action should not prevent you from continuing to mime KotR, unless your characters are counterattacking (or using some sort of counter ability, to be more general) when hit by the orbs. That said, it might be a glitch, and it might be that the only way to work around it is to level up your KotR materia so that you can restart the cycle.
