Can you help me? (Final Fantasy VIII)

my dad never got a PS2(sad, isn't it? :( ), and he has Final Fantasy VIII. I've actually come farther than he has on it, all the way to Ultimecia's castle. I know that as the last boss in the game, Ultimecia must also be the hardest Boss as well. My main party is Squall (lv. 100 :D ) , Rinoa, and Zell(both 80-ish). I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on beating her, since I barely beat Omega(1 HP left on squall, and Zell and Rinoa Dead :dead: ). Any strategies would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.I have all GFs, and plenty of money to buy stuff to refine into anything you say. I am missing the Queen of Cards Quest cards, but have all others besides them and an Eden Card I lost to her, which I can also refine.

I hope you have all GFs you should have Auto-haste on Rinoa and Squall since speed is good have Alexander on Squall so that he can use Revive and have Leviathan in Rinoa's junctions and give her recover sorry I have no tips for Zell since I used Irvine when I won the game okay the first mode of ultimecia is a very weak sorceress her strongest attack is Maelstorm wich deals about 2000 damage to everyone you will start off with a randomized team once someone times he/she will be sucked in the space time continuim (spelt wrong) and dissappeare (spelt wrong) forever so once you have your main party in the battle you have to revive them as fast as you can if they die if you don't they might dissappeare okay you should take her down with a couple of normal hits or a few GFs the next mode (griever) will be harder he can deal som major damage but just keep those recovers coming and you'll be okay if someone dies use Squall's revive to bring them back to life once you beat that one you'll come to the tricky party ultimecia will emerge into one with griever DO NOT use GFs against this one it will just use some weird beam and kill your GF for me this one was the hardest but it wasn't too hard anyway just keep Zell's duels and Squall's renzokukens and Lionhearts etcs coming and use Rinoa to heal them whenever they get hurt the magic Aura is also very useful in this battle once you defeat that one you will battle Ultimecia's last form or she might have a 5th form I don't know cause I finished her off with Lionheart just when she was about to die now hit her with all you got just stick to the healing part with Rinoa and use squall's revive when needed and you should pull it of, hope that helped you.
