My Brilliant Strategy Lasted Exactly Three Seconds

Before a difficult fight, I spent ages preparing the perfect strategy. I checked everyone's abilities, arranged my skills, planned my opening moves, and decided exactly when to use each character. The battle began. The enemy attacked first. My strategy immediately became: "PLEASE, SOMEBODY SURVIVE." By the time I finally got a turn, half my carefully prepared plan was completely useless. I somehow won the fight anyway, which obviously means my strategy was flawless. Next time, I'll spend even longer preparing. That should definitely help.
