Strategy: Let's get one thing straight first, this guy is EVIL. Make sure everyone is protected against Confuse, Petrification. Protection against Silence and Poison would make this battle a lot easier too.
Malboro Menace has a very large amount of HP which makes finishing him off quickly very difficult. He always casts Putrid Breath at the start of the battle almost always with an ambush, meaning that you will usually start this battle with all manner of nasty status effects (unless you've managed to get your hands on the Ribbon ability (99xDark Matters)). Other wise, make sure you are packing a large amount of Remedies and Softs.
His basic physical attack, Chow Time, does over 10,000 HP damage, which, at the time you first face him, will almost certainly be enough to kill a character.
His Mega Gastric Juice attack, (apart from having possibly the most revolting name for an attack in FF history) is just as lethal, not only dealing out 6,000+ damage, but also inflicting Full Break on the party, crippling them. Also, this attack cannot be defended against with Protect or Shell.
His Gastric Juice Blast attack, is something else to worry about. It, deals over 6,000 damage to the party, but it also has a 50% chance of inflicting Petrify on them. Malboro Menace loves to follow this attack up with Chow Time, disintegrating the Petrified character. That is, of course, if the original attack hasn't petrified the party ending the battle...
He does have low defenses however, and If you can shake off the status effects long enough to get in some overdrives or summon aeons (particularly Anima with a fully charged Overdrive), you should win this battle. If a little uncomfortably...
Also, Doom works on him, but it will take you 200 turns, and thats a LOT of status healing...
