although, I might try it once I finish this run http://rapidshare.com/files/455352624/movie.pxm 29k frames (over 8 minutes) ahead of the full run after the lighthouse. Walking (and, sometimes, the defense formation) are real time savers.

http://rapidshare.com/files/455617057/movie.pxm now 33k frames ahead after killing Mikba. I'm now questionning the pertinence of last resort...

http://rapidshare.com/files/455867327/movie.pxm Now 58k frames ahead after gaist. however, it seems that walking AND running is more advantageous than just walinkg...

Ya know, I really wish you could load a replay on the fly while watching an earlier version of it if the newer one is simply longer. Holding fast forward for almost 30 mins to catch up to where I left off sux :( Other than that, awesome run so far.

sorry, but my knowledge of coding is rather limited :( http://rapidshare.com/files/456411054/movie.pxm I was able to squeeze another 1700 frames. Walking alongside walls seems to greatly delay battles ( I tried it at the very beggining, but I lsot everyhting I won at the Pooch fight). And having Peco during dialogues saves too.

Make a savestate, load new movie, load state. It should (hopefully) end up continuing from that state. (Don't forget to open the movie file as read-only!)

http://rapidshare.com/files/456622473/movie.pxm jsut crossed the ocean. Mastania (or whoever) was right : aura is much quicker against Angler. And I believe I did much better against amonites with an EX turn. finally, walking alonside walls isn't infallible to avoid battles...

http://rapidshare.com/files/456775074/movie.pxm many changes before going to Caer Xhan - I saved 10k frames in the desert by not wasting time drinking water or sleepin - Both Manmo and the Elder were much shorter thanks to a stronger ryu (who barely needs last resort)

http://rapidshare.com/files/456858403/movie.pxm no, I don't need the trance gene nor do I need wisdom fruits. Hell, I only need the warrior gene once. I have to recalculate if it's worth getting... the myria fight was 300 frames shorter

Didn't you use it for Angler and the Ammonites as well? It's a shame you couldn't quite manage 6666 per combo on Myria so that that last Focus wasn't needed, but I'm pretty sure your Pwr is maxed out. It's possible that a full double-Focus'd Super Combo and one regular one could take her out, maybe with an attack from Momo to help; if not, it could still be faster to have Ryu do that and then crit/use Risky Blow, because you won't have to sit through the long combo setup animation.

indeed. So I have to try to make ryu even stronger (or get the damn goo king sword). And since the maximum damage is 9999, i don't think I can kill her in less than 3 rounds

yes, my bad, I have to test without it (and calculate how long it takes to get the gene)

No I meant that you'd hit the stat cap of 999, which can only be further increased via Focus. And I was wrong - you can cast Might a second time to increase Ryu's Pwr further. Last Resort must stack in a different way; assuming that it's added after all other bonuses, Ryu's current Pwr after one Might comes out to 878, which sounds about right for the damage you're getting with Super Combo (I thought it was a bit low). A second Might should cap him out at 999 Pwr, and give Super Combo a flat damage of 7500 or so.

Hmm... taking the force gene takes about 2300 frames. Not using warrior takes 700 frames more for angler and 350 for arwan... but 200 less for amonites. Oh well, one less worry. And if what you say is true, Mastania, then using the Goo King sword is useless? After all, it would be used for only 1 or 2 fights...

Basically yeah, unless you can get it really quickly (like <15 seconds) and save on a couple of inputs/casting animations.

ain't no one gonna beat me down :p https://rapidshare.com/files/457642641/movie.pxm at the expense of 1k frames, I was able to use 2 ivory dice against teepo (60k experience, up to level 37). Let's see if it's worth it. If not, I will not get that one before the chimaera btw, I was able to catch up the delay i had on the ship. about 4-5k frames ahead now

https://rapidshare.com/files/457902374/movie.pxm this is, I believe, the best that can be done for this game. I haven't picked any equipment (not even the dragon gear), i didn't pick up the last ivory dice and only get the dragon armour last frame of fight : 1663223
