Final Fantasy VII Guides and Walkthroughs
This Materia will allow you to perform whatever ability it's paired with at the start of the fight. This works on Magic, Command and Summon Materia - even on Knights of the Round. I don't however recommend you use it on any Summons as it'll get really old fast waiting 40 seconds at the start of each battle for that animation.
Sneak Attack is usually best utilized as a method of Stealing at the start of the fight or in multiple Materia pairings, such as the ones shown below.
Where to get Sneak Attack Materia:
Gold Saucer - Chocobo Square: Won from Chocobo Racing
Useful Sneak Attack Materia Combinations:
Sneak Attack + Steal: Steal at the start of every fight - good for people like me who hate stealing but still wanna benefit from it
Sneak Attack + Steal + Mega All: Steal from all enemies at the start of the fight
Sneak Attack + Ultima: This will quickly end most fights before they even start
Sneak Attack + Comet: This will quickly end most fights before they even start
Sneak Attack + Slash All: Will end a fight before it even has a chance to start (without using a spell)
Sneak Attack + Knights of the Round: It seems fun at first until you realize how annoying it is to watch that long cinematic each time you get a random battle
(Sneak Attack + Deathblow) + (Deathblow + Added Cut) + (Deathblow + Steal as well) + (Deathblow + HP Absorb): You will open the fight with a Deathblow that heals you and has a chance of stealing an item from the enemy, followed by a regular attack
