Entering the week I have 2 segments done, which I'll edit in here over the next couple of days. Pride Lands 2 should be done very soon, once I get the time to finish it off. After that, I'm headed over to do some Atlantica singing. It's going to be magical.

Another new strat because I hate school. I really do love it for its simplicity and because it's incredibly easy to do. Smiley

I think puwexil's strat might be a little faster there, and not much less consistent. One thing I do love that I'm kicking myself for not doing was guarding in the 1st breakapart phase. Such a simple solution to such a stupid attack.

Also, I hate school right now too. After last night, I have no energy today, so I'm about to go stream some segment attempts.

That trinity limit glitch discovered a page or two back that lets you basically fire it off at its previous maximum hit count any time you want.

Xigbar sucks.

Saix I managed to kill WITH Trinity Limit this time thanks to getting more hits from a number of the fights.

Also showed off the 999 hit count Trinity. Poor Xemnas. I'd feel sorry for him if his stupid Gambit wasn't going on.

Endgame time was 4:57:43. This includes lots of screw ups, 3 forced deaths to Xigbar, and me giving Riku the final kill.

I didn't know you could even give Riku the final kill.

Do you have a target time in mind yet?

Till I get better, 4:30:xx for now. In the future, 4:20:xx, maybe.

Btw, I suppose I decided to record this strat since I didn't see many other people using it.

I think it might be the same damage that Knocksmash does, but in that case, it saves you time by skipping the last 20 water clones. Smiley

My only problem is what to do after Trinity to ensure that he doesn't do the 10 water clone mini-game.

Well at least one good thing came out of my "the worst run ever" (Game trolling and 4 hours of sleep loopiness do not mix well over the span of a 5 hour run) I accidentally found a way to deal with the core in the final boss gauntlet.

http://www.twitch.tv/ghost_wheel/c/1927048

This lets me save all 6 of my drive gauges for a double genie Armored Xemnas 1 kill. One thing I would need to get down to SS this game seriously is the ether route. I don't know how many ethers are around, but I'm pretty sure I got all the chests and steals. My final boss route currently does:

1 ether on the stunt dodge section
No drive on the core section, but 2-3 ethers used(maybe substitute 1 elixir here), culminating in a knocksmash against the core. I plan on equipping the rose for the gauntlet because its damage output is better than the pumpkin's anyway and I can use magnet+explosion here.
2x valor genie on Armored xemnas 1
3 ethers on Armored Xemnas 2
Have 4 ethers and 2 elixir against Xemnas.

This is 10 ethers. With monochrome strats on saix and xigbar, I use 2-3 on each as opposed to 4-6. This should theoretically be enough because you generally get 12 ethers from the shop and 2 from riku. It'll be a little while before I pick up beginner again though. I need to hide from my shame and practice a bit more.

Its actually 4 now strongfox, but it may be a little while. Some of these segments are around 15-20 minutes, which means even if I encode overnight, I'll still sacrifice my computer for part of the day. This isn't feasible because either I have to have it to learn python, or I want to have it to record more segments. I'll get time eventually, but for now, I can highlight the accepted segments on my twitch page.

Edit: managed to find evertyhing but segment 43: Final from leveling. Long story short, I get a ton of items but I lose time getting kicked by dancers more often than I'd like

For segments 43, 44, and 45 on your twitch page would you possible be able to look up the times for each run where it starts for your segments that you will be using for the run?

With Luxord, hitting him(by jumping around) while in Die form makes it end faster.

Oh all right. Did not realize that. Only because i never looked at someones highlight section before. Thanks for the info.

EDIT: I found segment 43 and here is the time stamp for the video if you want to highlight it. http://www.twitch.tv/ghost_wheel/b/365403557?t=81m40s to http://www.twitch.tv/ghost_wheel/b/365403557?t=90m50s

Not like this. NOT LIKE THIS!!!

I'm the biggest idiot ever. Plain and simple. I must have not completely fixed my streaming problems, as my commentary has actually bled into my recording. i thought that it wouldn't and I didn't even check this before erasing my memory files of EVERYTHING UP TO RIGHT BEFORE ATLANTICA.

OC2 and PL2 are corrupted, unsubmittable, and unredoable. This may be the end.

I'm going to my stream to play sonic heroes. Anyone is welcome to join me.

Take the videos, put generic OST audio over the actual footage, and apologize profusely in the run comments. It's only 2 segments in a huge run, and the segments themselves are still clearly valid, even if the audio is not.

Though asking a staff member on their policies for such a thing ahead of time would be a good idea.

Magicbarrier

2013-02-16 10:20:48 am

I'm obviously no staff member, but I remember that the Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon speedrun had some redone audio over Molotov's comments, so (I hope) you'll be fine. Don't scare me, your third paragraph acted like the segments were completely unwatchable or something.
