About the run
This is a slower version (~1min30) of my most recent
The route is slightly different. (note: the extra time attack entry is Meet Death)
The main difference reside in getting poison for doing the levelup in colosseum since you have higher HP it is required, the axe armor is also required for stopping the toss since only the blade attack (grounded...) will deal enough damage.
Problem is the only way to get poison is at the librarian with meal ticket, this is why it takes an extra 2 min for the clock rush, worth noting it is so tight timing that you cant do the money glitch yet and forced to do it upon library revisit, also going reverse colosseum (like in the luck mode sub) is only a dozen frame faster so I kept it like this.
I am still submitting this run because it is fairly well optimize and I hope it can be put in playground.

eien86: Claiming for judging.
eien86: Waiting on the author to respond to a question about in-game code use.
eien86: This movie is similar in nature and execution to that of [6463] PSX Castlevania: Symphony of the Night "pacifist, luck mode" by arukAdo in 18:27.81, so I won't expand much on the technical analysis. However, the choice of goal deserves some discussion. Here the author submits this as "Pacifist, Normal Mode", but I reckon there is little normal in using a code (AXEARMOR) that grants you an in-game item (the Axe Armor) from the beginning. Hence, "pacifist, uses code AXEARMOR" is a more precise description of the goal.
The use of SaveRAM is justified here for two reasons:
- It is necessary to buy the duplicator
- Enables the use of the AXEARMOR code
The publisher should make sure both the use of SaveRAM and an in-game code is properly clarified.
Accepting to Standard
Thanks McBobX for the sync!
eien86: the author has requested that the categorization of this movie be re evaluated. I will be conferring with other judges regarding this.
