Amy, I can indeed assist you. There are two keys to defeating Ursula in this form. One is the Aero spell and the other is the shared ability 'Mermaid Kick'. The Aero spell you got when you beat the Guard Armor right before sealing Traverse Town and the Mermaid Kick you got just recently after defeating Ursula, Flotsam & Jetsam together.
Aero absorbs damage you receive and Mermaid Kick allows you to move way faster underwater.
It is also essential that you stay behind Ursula as much as possible. This is hard seeing as she is constantly trying to turn, but if you do, things will be much easier. Then it mostly comes down to figuring out how she signatures her attacks and avoiding them as necessary.
*If she gasps as if tired, this is one time to get many hits in. Chain combos to the side or back of her head as she takes a breather.
*If you are in front of her and she starts inhaling, swim away with Mermaid Kick until the end of the attack to avoid being sucked in. If she gets you in her mouth it WILL hurt.
*Use the Mermaid Kick to avoid the bubble attack.
*When she raises her trident, she is about to cast a circle of damaging magic around her, so get away as quickly as possible.
You can use Blizzara to damage her as well, but keep 2 MP in reserve to get Aero back up whenever it dissipates.
And as always, make sure to go into battle fully stocked on Potions or Hi-Potions, and if you find you are running out of MP too frequently, a few Ethers as well.
This is not a fight you can just charge into recklessly and expect to win. It takes patience and time to emerge the victor here. But she isn't too hard. Staying behind her is the major key. Pay attention to how she signals her moves and respond appropriately.
Hope you get her. And remember, if you still can't beat her, you may have to do the time tested RPG chore of gaining a level or two.

Expertise
TOPICS I can answer questions about: Game Strategy, Recommendations (based on age or genre preference), History of a game, Recalling a game you played, Game music, Company or Creator info, and some simple system troubleshooting GENRES: My specialties are Adventure, RPG, Survival Horror, Action, and a small amount of Strategy and Puzzle. I avoid sports games like the plague, and have little interest in any racing games save for a few, F-Zero, Mario Kart and Wipeout being the main ones. Nor do I know many fighting games, mainly Bushido Blade and a few others. I am not much of a fan of First Person Shooters either. I am especially well versed in RPGs, particularly Final Fantasy and most of SquareEnix's other titles. GAMES: Not limited to the following. These games are series, and I know them all. There are MANY other individual ones. Feel free to ask and I will let you know if I can help you. Actraiser, Alundra, Breath of Fire, Bushido Blade, Castlevania, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Donkey Kong, Dragon Warrior/Quest, Drakkhen/Dragon View, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, King's Field, Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver, Mana, Mario, Mega Man, Metal Gear Solid, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid, Parasite Eve, Resident Evil, Rygar, Silent Hill, Spyro, Star Fox, Suikoden, Tomb Raider, TMNT, Wild Arms, Xenogears/Xenosaga, Zelda, and Zone of the Enders SYSTEMS: NES, Super NES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy Color, GBA, DS, PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP plus computer, but I'm not really a big computer gamer. Systems I plan on getting in the future are XBOX 360 and Wii U. I am also a big fan of emulators on the PC. I have many of the old 8-bit and 16-bit systems and ROMS for my computer and know a lot about them. These include NES, Super NES, Genesis, Turbografx, MSX, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and GBA.
Experience
I have been a video gamer for over 20 years. I started with the original NES way back in 1988 and have owned or played nearly every popular console since then. I have completed hundreds of games and played thousands. I have a large file cabinet filled with hundreds of hand-made maps, lists, and various strategies for many of the games I have conquered in the past two decades. I subscribe to 5 different game magazines to keep up to date on the newest stuff out there. I would officially call myself an expert on the subject of videogames. And if I don't know the answer, I can find out about it and direct you to someplace that does.
Publications
I have had three things published in Nintendo Power magazine as well as a piece of artwork. I also participate regularly on the GameFAQs forums. I am wanting to write FAQs for GameFAQs as well. I would also like to write columns for other video game magazines.
Education/Credentials
Experience with games baby, and lots of it. On the academic side, I am currently attending ITT Tech and am two quarters into an Associate's in Visual Communications. I will then be continuing for a Bachelor's in Video Game Design.
Awards and Honors
These are not academic awards. I am still working on those. These are video game related things of note about me. I do consider them honors as they are the most secret things in each of their respective games, and I am very proud of having found them. I am the discoverer of the Ryu Fireball in Megaman X, the Dragon Punch in Megaman X2, and the Golden Armor in Megaman X3. All three of those discoveries have appeared in Nintendo Power magazine. I have also broken the password systems for Megaman 4 and Megaman 5.
