maybe he won't need it. did you use it in your run?



Yeah, he needs it. He knows he needs it... maybe he forgot? Hope you don't have to redo the segment, Garland!  :-/  Would it be worth it to just grab it when you come back? 

Sucky... :-[

I will knock you all down!
Yes, I forgot the Cover Materia, but after discussing it with lolo, we came to the conclusion that I can do without it. The Turks + Proud Clod segment will be hell, but other than that, it won't do much harm. And that segment being hell is something I can live with. After all, I survived 300 attempts on segment 3.

The Turks + Proud Clod Segment was already hell... Tifa absolutely loved to die, and it seemed she was alergic to a successful deathblow in the Turks battle. At least the segment is quick though... it's really not too bad, because it's over so soon. But it sure took me alot of attempts.

There is also the Icicle Battles, and Carry Armor... The Icicles won't be that different, I guess. But it could make the difference between a few restarts... and after finally getting through the first two icicle battles, it would suck to have to restart because you couldn't cover something stupid like a Bloodsuck on Tifa... >.< But yeah, there were alot of times where I needed Tifa to get hurt, and Cait covered her, and I nearly lost it, so maybe it will let you avoid some frustration in other areas...

Glad you don't have to redo the segment... and hey! If you're going without cover, you've even saved a few seconds. Both with the time saved getting it, and the equipment changes, when moving it around and such. Congrats on another time saver. Intentional of course...  Tongue

The Turks + Proud Clod segment is in a distant future anyway, so I don't want to worry about that right now Tongue

Anyway, here's the next segment:

Farringa's run hasn't been posted yet....maybe tomorrow...or not...

Oh and good going GarlandG ! ^^
I watched your segments and they really seems perfect to me (even if some of them could be better with more luck, as always in speedruns).

I was just wondering something about Cover: you say that this materia is very important for some battles (you talked about Proud clod and Turks) but Cover is a materia based on luck.
At level 1, it only have 10% of chance to work.
So, do you equip this materia from the beggining of the game (for letting it gainning one or two levels) or do you pray god for this materia working when you need it ?

A Cover materia which only work with a chance of 10%....this would be a great reason for many reset (you said: "Tifa loved to die").

Yes, we equip it to level it up, specifically for the return to Midgar, even. In order for Tifa to do maximum damage, she needs to be in critical health. However, critical health comes with a downside... you're easily killed. So putting cover on another character gives that character a chance to protect Tifa... this makes it less likely for Tifa to die. If she dies, it's a restart... if you decrease the chance that she will die, you increase your chance for success on the segment. It just makes life alot easier.

if so, the mirrorring(?) would be handy, right?
but using it, all+heal shouldn't be used...  Lips Sealed

You mean reflect. No, it wouldn't be handy. We need her acc. slot for the Curse Ring whenever we get it.

Actually, it's 20% on level 1, then it increases by 20 for each level up to 100% on master level.

I talked to Mikwuyma today (one of the verifiers had a question about the run, and so he got in touch with me), and I asked him if the run was close to being posted. He said, "yeah everyone says the run is great". So, hopefully, once I get this question out of the way, the run shouldn't be too far off!

Sweet. Finally. But i wouldn't mind waiting for a few more days. It has been so long, 2 or 3 days or something like that won't make that much of a difference Cheesy

btw: Great run GarlandG. Need more ^^

I'm glad you appreciate my run  Wink

Here's another segment:

Segment 7A:
Segment 7B:

This is the "worst" segment so far. Really bad battles and I make a mistake when entering the second train. This could have been at least 10 seconds faster with the perfect approach.

When we get a PSX rerecording emu, I'm going to do it - I STILL won't use Slots though. TAS means I can do radically different strategies, like critical hit limit breaks every time, etc. FF7 is quite luck-manipulation friendly that way.

It would make an insane TAS for one you could start with perfect stats which would be a nice boost, all random battles would become near non-existent with immediate escapes and boss fights could have ridiculous requirements like 3 critical limit breaks straight up which if tried normal would take ~1000 tries,  I would be interested in how far you could push this with save states and what not

I agree. Give FF7 TAS!

I'm taking this week off, so no more segments until next week. My goal is to complete Midgar in July.

I started playing again yesterday and that resulted in this:




Next segment is very easy, so it shouldn't take long before that one's up too. However, the next segment after that is one of the worst in the entire run...
