There is a glitch that lets you use almost any command (including Limit Breaks) with Quadra Magic by using this Materia combo:
Counter + Mime, Magic Counter + Any Magic, Counter + Mime, Quadra Magic + Same Magic.
When you mime multiple different attacks in a counter, the first mime of the first attack will lose all its effects and take on the effects of the previous attack instead.
Use of multiple Quadra Magics
The first Quadra Magic adds three extra casts to the linked compatible spells or summons—this includes all spells except Escape and all summons except KotR. (Note: you can't normally use Quadra on KotR, nor with Master Summon or Magic Counter. As for Mime... well, you'll see.)
Each additional Quadra Magic linked to the same spells or summons grants one extra cast. The total number of casts is limited to 8.
General Rules for Auto Mimes
The auto actions are executed in the order of the equipped Materias.
The auto mimes copy the previous trigger, if there is one, or the action performed just before the combo otherwise.
Auto mimes are performed after all other auto actions.
Quadra-Loss Glitch
If the second mime in the chain is meant to mimic a non-quadra action, the first one will also be non-quadra. If it’s meant to mimic a quadra action, the first action will lose its quadra status. Ideally, the reverse is also true.
Quadra-Gain Glitch
If the second mime in the chain is meant to mimic a quadra action, the first will also be quadra. If it’s meant to mimic a non-quadra action, that action will gain quadra.
Since the action gains a free quadra effect, it can be applied to:
✶ KotR, Enemy Skills, and Commands, even though they are incompatible when paired directly. Note: Command Materia like Slash-All, Double Cut, Steal, Sense, Throw, Morph, Deathblow, and Manipulate will have their extra casts' animations skipped; only the first cast will be visible.
✶ Limits, which may cause animation glitches.
✶ Items, where only the first animation is visible, with the extras being skipped.
