If thats so Ventuz. Perhaps one could wait for all characters to have a full powermeter before attacking? Maby that could help?

It's possible to kill Whelk before it hides with Terra at level 5 and Vick/Wedge at level 4/3. Unless I level up in the cave of Narshe, Terra will stay at level 5 when Locke joins. He will joins at one level lower, and Edgar will join at one level lower too, and so with Sabin.

And so on, and so on, and so on. For all eternity. :D But would it save alot of time to level up then? Have you made any calculations on this?

I made a lot of calculations for Whelk and I didn't find a way to kill it before it hides while keeping Terra at level 6 (unless I spend a lot of time leveling up in the cave of Narshe). Levels won't matter after Sabin's scenario anyway. I will start running from battles when I won't be able to finish the battle in one action. For upcomming bosses, all I need is to survive the first 23 seconds and then I do desperation attacks. Then I will need to fight some battles to gather magic points to learn Death and Vanish. After I get Setzer, every battles are going to be run away or Joker Doom. I might fight some Intangir for magic points. In WOR, I will level up in the Veldt forest if I need to. (The only problem will be pincer Tyranausaurus)

Ah. Nice. :) About the Tyranusaurus pincer attacks. Those could be manipulated away I suppose?

I don't believe a non-pincer two Tyranosaur battle is possible.

Aren't there relics that prevents these kinds of stuff? Or is that just back attacks?

Short note, you have to copy/paste that link to make it work.

I think they are possible. In fact, they are pretty common. Brachiosaurs, on the other hand, are so big you only normally find one at a time. If you get pincered, I think you can fight two brachiosaurs, though. Those are the battles that can really hurt, but I think it gives the most XP in the game.

"I think they [non-pincer 2 Tyranosaur battle] are possible." No. "I think you can fight two brachiosaurs" No.
Blah!

Could you give some info what you are planning and testing ATM? =) This is not like a regular speed run or something. This is more like studdying a game and totaly break it down. :D

I have a new Narshe strategy that brings me 56 seconds earlier in front of Tritorch (a shows a new graphical glitch). Unfortunatly, I am getting desync problems with 1.43 final (I did not had a single desync while recording with 1.43WIP). I hope the LttP patch will fix them.

Why don't you stick with the WIP then? Is there any particual reason why you should switch?

The WIP has a two hour time limit for savestate when recording movie. I know there is a fix for it but I havn't been able to recompile Snes9x WIP yet .

Tilus got around this limit in his Chrono Trigger run by splitting off the run into a second savestate-start movie file. He seemed to have no problem continuing the run, and it's also possible to hex the two together into one file for viewing. But hey, new strategies are always good so go on with whatever you've got the inspiration for. I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to seeing some cool stuff come out of this!

Glad to know this is still alive. Too bad Boco's too busy with all kinds of things to continue her FFV run. :(

You should try recording with the Improved v4 Snes9x ... it's a lot better in all aspects of recording AND playing AND not-desynching. It has a lot of cool features that are very useful for time-attacks. You should check this out ..

Progress report: Up to Figaro castle 1 minute faster. http://www.step.polymtl.ca/~jyzero/moogle.zip The main differences between the previous movie and this one is the 1 level drop and different enemies encounters. The marshall fight is also better (with 2 consecutives critical hits, something I couldn't do in the previous version because the battle speed was too fast) It might cost me some time in the future but not as much as 1 minute.
