Another little upload about The Experiment fight. I'm not really sure if people know this or not, but I made it anyway. Tongue

First of all, great job on the new record Bl00dyBizkitz. I always underestimated master form but I think I'm going to try and use it more often now.

I'm more confused on magnet now. I used master form magnet on some snipers and they just getting pulled and pushed constantly, but when I did it to some assassins it took them a couple of seconds to be pulled back in after the push. I guess it just doesn't work on some enemies as well.

Magic I think also does silly things in terms of loading characters cause once I tried summoning genie at the same time Jack Skellington used icy terror on the Experiment and the summoning animation wouldn't continue until icy terror went away.

I'm not sure if it's just bad timing, but whenever I see anyone fight Jafar they screw up and lose like 30 seconds.

skip to 5:36. The stuff before is just me doing random stuff that should be cut out but I don't know how to use a video editor.

this is pretty much a very consistent way of killing Jafar fast and I think this way is faster than the old way by about 30 to 40 seconds. I was level 33 with 29 strength in this video but I think it could be done at level 31 with 27 strength using slapshot. I also screwed up 6:10 and still killed him relatively fast.

Nice Jafar find. I always wondered why people never used Guard Break over Explosion here. Guard break was the only thing that worked for me on standard, so I could only assume it had a higher damage output. The little optimization I never used that makes all the difference here is how you move slightly away after each hit. Very nice and simple solution.

And Bizkitz, If I haven't told you already when you put up that other experiment video, guarding the stupid thing to make it easier to manipulate was one of those things that made me facepalm for having such trouble with something so easily fixed. Great job.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that Master Form Magnet works better on certain enemies than it does on others, but then again, if I DID include that, I'd have to test Master Form Magnet's effectiveness on every enemy in the game. Tongue

Also yeah, that Icy Terror example has happened to me so many times, and is also why I prefer Duck Flare as opposed to using Genie against The Experiment.

I stick with SGD on HT2, so icy terror doesn't happen for me. With your RC strats, I still think Genie is faster.

Really cool, I especially liked the use of Slapshot. I completely forgot that it gave out that much damage output as well as being super quick. I think the reason I never used Guard Break was because it was really iffy around some of Jafar's HP gates. I might upload a video explaining what I mean.

As long as Mr. Experiment likes to hover over my Falcon Punches w/ Valor Genie, it's not happening. Tongue

I've always used Guard Break instead of Explosion for Genie Jafar due to the shorter cooldown time afterwards - after stunning him and doing 3 full ground combos, that lets me squeeze in 2 extra hits before hitting the Spin Cycle RC, which on Beginner is usually enough to drop him below 2 HP bars at the critical point for preventing his desperation pattern without having to try to hit his head when he's not stunned (I always have problems not getting juggled by the fireballs if I try that).

I was over in the Dragon Quest 8 thread where a link to a DQ8 TAS WIP had been posted. The guy had a KH2FM TAS as well. I thought I'd post the link. Not sure if there are faster ones out there. Didn't find any on youtube. I know there are differences between KH2FM and KH2 but I thought that some of the strategies he uses might be adaptable to KH2 and console? Here's the link:

Nice! I was wondering when PS2 TAS's were going to become a thing.
