Encountered In Midgar Shinra Building

Motor Ball has a very defined set of attacks: he'll start with Arm Attack against the Character with the highest HP (and a 50% of doubling the attack), doing that again, then using Twin Burner, Deadly Wheel, and finally its most devastating attack, Rolling Fire. It starts the battle by using Highway for minor damage on every Character, which can be a problem if you did poorly in the motorcycle minigame.
