When's the next WIP? I'm very much looking forward to it.
Same here, good job with recent findings, and yeah, whe told you so :D
Glad you take it the right way, even if i dont like this game as much as other cv DS, i will probably enjoy to see your TAS
Good news. Leveling up everywhere is totally irrelevant.
Good news indeed.Catastrophe wrote:
So I tested the Death Ring. :D Of course it rocked!
Lv 10 lightsaber = 108
Lv 10 LS + Agony = 563
Lv 10 LS + Death Ring = 563
Lv 10 LS + Agony + Death Ring = 866! HOO-ray!
Psst: Judgment ring beats Death Ring, slightly. And both together is better than either apart. Also, judgment is very much on your path. Howe'er, this may mean Death Ring is not worth the time, since it's farther and the few-stroke additional reduction for both may not be worth detouring.Catastrophe wrote:
can't use Volaticus on Dracula I don't know why it even exists. Perhaps for backtracking? It's still a waste of something so potentially cool.
I hear there are strategies that explicitly use the taunt capacity for killing him.
Also, it's quite useful in Large Cavern against the nasty dual hammers/weapon masters, and makes Jiang Shi nearly harmless.
As for hitting Eligor from the front, I'm 90% certain it does nothing- you can hit the headpiece, but it does not seem to damage as eye is shut when you're in front of him. (My testing was with Albus, back when-up+L to height, optical/acerbatus) and all the segments of Eligor seem to take the same amount of damage from anything, and nothing else to damage is up that high, and I recall shooting and hearing the damage sound more times than it should take for a 150-ish damage attack to kill).
But yeah, test L10 LS+Judgment ring, +JR+DA, +JR+DA+DR.
Volaticus actually has an important use in the Dracula fight, but it's rather useless for a TAS, since it's used for dodging. As long as you're moving forward when you use Volaticus, the flames will appear at your current location, and thus miss you. It's generally used to dodge his meteors, but since a TAS would be able do dodge them just fine on the ground, there's no need for it.

I don't really remember, but isn't it better to block the flames with a shield?
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

Hi,
I'd like to see a demonstration movie of the Tymeo Mountains damage boost to reach Marcel without double jump. Is it feasible for real-time play or do you need a very specific Winged Skeleton spawn?
Also, is it possible for the game to spawn two rare chests during one visit to the area?

Of course. It's pretty common if you have good luck and the treasure hat.

This sounds like a challenging game to TAS, which just means that when it finally is done fast, it'll be awesome, just like Chrono Trigger or Earthbound which got reduced from 3+ hours to like a single hour or less.
I couldn't get the DSM to sync properly. It desynched right at the language selection screen and didn't get any better from there.
Edit: Watched the nico version. Looks really nice, hope you get around to optimising it and submitting it at some point. :)
I can't wait to see a final product. While it doesn't have the crazy glitches of the other 2 DS games, watching the movement of Shanoa from beginning (backdashing, ho hum) to the end (really fast bunny on crack) is amusing in itself.
However, half of the first part on Nicovideo doesn't want to play for me and the rest looks really bad in quality compared to the other 3 parts. Could you fix? I want to see the rest of that, even if it isn't optimized.

How do you get on Eligor's back? I can't figure it out from watching. Is it feasible in real-time play?
Looks like he abuses the invincibility period to land on the very back of Eligor's back, even though that would normally deal damage and throw Shanoa away. Might be possible in real time, though you'd need really good timing.
Also, would getting the Mercury Boots speed it up any?(they're right by Rapidus Fio, if I recall) Dunno if their speed boost would apply in the air while you're bouncing around, but it should boost those times where you're forced to dash along the ground(the SDA run shows it off, if you want an example).

About Eligor, FreezerBurns is right. You can do it in real-time enough.
Edit: I recommend not to equip Tower Ring when you try it, because it will cut your invulnerable time half off (100 -> 50 frames).FreezerBurns wrote:

AFAIK, The effect of Mercury Boots is applied to walk only. It doesn't change the speed of backdash, Rapidus, dive kick, etc. I doubt whether it saves time. Anyway, thank you for your advice.

Nice. Pretty fast.
The only thing that bothers me...
Is it so much faster to get hit by the boss?
It looks a little bit lame and would be heavily
more entertaining to kill every boss without getting hit.
But i suppose this is significantly faster because
you don't waste time to get this Medal and everything, right?
