**How It Happened**
-Ate Tonosama Rice Ball before entering BC.
-Once in BC, used Meditate, and then waited 3:00 mins for the timer to recharge.
-Once Meditate was recharged and ready for use, I approached Maat and used Third Eye.
-Waited for timer on Third Eye to reach 15 seconds, and then engaged him.
-Used Tachi: Hobaku, then an Icarus Wing.
-I fubbered up on using my Icarus Wing so I wasn't able to chain Hobaku and Gekko.
-Maat then used 2hr with the following Weaponskills: Combo > Spinning Attack > Tackle.
-After he hit me with Combo, I used Third Eye again, and dodged the Spinning Attack. Then, as luck would have it, somehow his Tackle missed me
-During his 2hr, I chugged down as many Hi-potions as I could.
-After he was done, I activated my 2hr and performed: Tachi: Gekko > Tachi: Yukikaze (Induration Skillchain) > Tachi: Gekko (Fragmentation Skillchain).
-I chugged down 2 more Hi-potions before I performed my last Gekko (just to be safe).
-Hit Maat with a regular attack once after 2hr, and he gave up.
**Video**
The Entire Video was over 150 megs, so I couldn't upload the whole thing. I cut out everything but the actual battle. The Webspace my ISP provides, is only 10 megs so I wasn't able to upload it there. I put it on Angelfire, so it probably won't last that long. If you're interested, check it out while you can.
If anyone has any alternative (more stable place to host this) please let me know.

**Final Thoughts**
I didn't have too much of an actual strategy except for :
1. WS the hell out of Maat.
2. Don't die.
-Originally, though, I had planned on using Tachi: Hobaku > Tachi: Gekko which I had learned chained in an exp party earlier that day.
-I had never used an Icarus wing till this fight, and soon learned that you need to carefully time using them after a WS or else you fubber it like I did and have to try twice and screw the renkei up
-Counting the DMG he did to me, I didn't need to use a single Hi-potion, but I still recommend bringing them seeing how I did get lucky and somehow his tackle WS missed me (Guess even Samurai Maat misses just as much as us
)
-As stated before, don't go in there thinking you got it all planned out. Chances are, things won't go exactly as planned
-Lastly, let your instincts take over. The entire battle went by so quick I didn't even have a chance to think. By the time you hit 70, you should know your job well enough that you should be able to just react accordingly to the situation.
