But the 8BT universe follows Final Fantasy Series rules (or possibly, AD&D 3rd Ed. rules, if RM is correct), which means that the potency of a spell does not increase with use. It shouldn't matter how many times BLM has cast Hadoken, another mage, with equal stats to BLM but casting it for the first time would be equally effective.
In that case, the relative efficiency of the two spells is probably based on INT, in the case of Hadoken, and WIS in the case of "Nekodah" (assuming that Hadoken is a black and Nekodah a white magic spell). I would imagine that BLM's INT and WHM's WIS are roughly the same, making the spells equal in potency.
Of course, if RM is correct http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=041127 then the efficiency is based on the level of the caster, doing 10d10*10 + 10/level of caster damage. Some posters on this board have assumed that this means the spell actually becomes less effective as the caster gains in level, however I believe that in this instance, the "/" sign is used to mean "per" as opposed to "divided by". Assuming that Nekodah is the precise opposite of hadoken, it would probably heal/negate/whatever it does at an identical rate. In this case, a direct battle between hadoken and anti-hadoken would be decided by dice rolls, and the relative levels of the casters.
