I would love to see the critical damage numbers in new runs... but anyways. You guys are doing great jobs.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days
<adelikat> no doubt
<adelikat> klmz, they still do
Hi, I'm in the way of making a new Any% run, and I'm trying to find some new strategies, major things I concluded:
-The soul orb should be skipped, like all furnitures.
-The way to increase the level in Shrine of the Apostates can now be improved.
-Skipping Shadow fight and savewarping to trigger only the MK's Bracelets dialogue is not possible as the game still thinks that Juste is still fighting Shadow.
-Maybe possible to skip the Dracula's dead animation and the orb if there is a way to get Medicine Jar.
-The route is still the fastest as skipping Shadow and get to Maxim (after fighting Devil or skipping it too) is not possible except if there is Moon Gravity, which is slower compared to savewarp.
Just curious, are there any ways to warp into Castle Center A as Maxim and fight himself? It would be great if a future Maxim all bosses run includes that fight as well.
If you are going to be remaking the any% run, I hope you use BizHawk and not VBA...
Well, I already started the run on VBA v23.5, also I should compare to current run to see if I'm losing or saving time. I also thought about using BizHawk I don't know if I can do it on it. VBA is still good for TASing though.

It is possible to warp into the 1x1 room where dialog takes place before Maxim fight in Castle A, but nothing will happen.

Getting Soul Orb is some kind of entertainment trade-off. I do not think skipping Soul Orb is an improvement, but you can do that as long as you state how many frames are saved due to the skipping. It seems that there are no other possible improvements.
Current projects:
Castlevania - Order of Ecclesia (NDS)

That what I just thought of too, but I can keep this by just adding a code that shows enemy's damage like yours while making an encode, thus I can still save time and keep the entertainment as well.
Well, it that I miscalculated the improvements, as the way to increase Juste's level is much optimized in Any% due to limited heart size because we need around 55 hearts when savewarping. Thus, I think that the current Any% run has nothing to improve except skipping the Soul Orb while this last is for entertainment.
