New version includes interactive/attack lines and freeze counter. I advise to turn off the script when entering a battle you'll see why in the vid.

Dropbox for the script

Todo:
Fix the camera.
Find a way to differentiate between all the dungeons,menus, world map, and battles.

Another update
Dungeons and Battle are separate now. You only have to turn off the script only after the battle now which you can easily do at the experience gained.
Interaction/Attacks show correctly now.
And, ice platforms dunno what causes the side ways super jump, yet.

Vid shows why you should stop the script.

spread the dirt to the populace

the japanese runner "savo ten" said he would be very interested to see the hitbox on manticore & wraith with this. thank you again!!!

so moka & savo ten have been dissecting the heck out of my recent SDA submissions, and the latter figured out new strategies for bloodbane & fenrir! check this:

so there is no longer a need to reset if you don't get gram from chapter 7 transfer! i also wonder if my chapter 1 jelanda transfer may be faster overall...it takes ~25 seconds to get element scepter in 1st dungeon (needed for tome of alchemy in lezard fight), and you lose ~28 seconds in dialogue from ch.1 transfer compared to ch.7. but you avoid freya warning with ch.1 method and should still be able to use savo ten's strategies - just sub lorenta w/ mystic cross for jelanda w/ sacred javelin. no might reinforce, but that's only used on fenrir and you should be able to sub in might potions. not sure...

regardless, there is definite room for improvement in my A ending boss fights with this stuff. could potentially get 2:27 if i'm willing to reset for ch.4 spiritual concentration luck, which is where most of my time was lost in my current record. i would only do this after finishing seraphic gate & 100% though!

EDIT: another interesting point learned from the japanese runners is that the US version is actually faster than JP on a lot of the scenes with spoken dialogue! overall, by their estimation, the US version is roughly 2 minutes slower on B ending and 3:20 slower on A ending.

spread the dirt to the populace

got 1:15:01 on seraphic gate run! bad luck on harpy and a couple seraphic gate enemy patterns kept this from being a 1:14, along with a couple minor execution mistakes. that said, i got perfect luck on the world map and iseria queen fights, and i didn't run into any enemies, so i am happy to submit!

i might try again for 1:14 later, but i just want to move on to 100% for now =)

EDIT: for reference, the fastest japanese run on video for this category is a mid-high 1:15 by SDA timing. the japanese WR (no video) is a high 1:13. remember that US loses 2 minutes on the B ending, and this is a longer run with a reset (which is FAR quicker on the JP version). i'm pretty darned happy with this, although i don't think anybody in japan has run this category since the vanir skips in jotunheim were found!

Been busy with adding training modes to a couple of arcade games.
Finally, got through the first dungeon without it glitching. To see my script didn't work on other enemies.

But, that's fixed now.(As I'm aware of)

Need a better way to tell if it's battle/world or not as.
It works great for dungeons but nothing else.

Edit:
Updated version of the script so it should on all enemies and infinite health in battle cause of the rendering bug on emulation. Same link as always.

Hello everyone, I haven't been here in a while. I had a question (mainly curious if I missed something); is A ending 100% not a category? I see 100% for B, but not A. Maybe I just love the A ending too much to let it go D: There is A ending, but it is not 100% and just skips a bunch of the game.

Here are the categories currently recognized by SDA for Valkyrie Profile:

B ending - achieve B ending as fast as possible
A ending - achieve A ending as fast as possible
100% - collect all artifacts and then achieve the A ending
Seraphic Gate - complete the Seraphic Gate as fast as possible, starting from New Game (there isn't a run of this category on SDA yet)
Seraphic Gate-New Game+ - complete the Seraphic Gate as fast as possible, starting from entering the Seraphic Gate (using any kind of premade save)

Ah, yes, you are correct. I was just confused because I saw a lot of skipping for the 100%, but I suppose we were just rushing for the Dimension Slip so we can avoid enimies. Thank you very much!

Thank you for writting down all of your thoughts, Josh; it is a good read. Does going Guts over Lucid in A ending save that much time? I feel like guts is riskier, no?

Is there an up to date 100% run available that I could take a look at? I am going to start running this game soon and would like to take a peek at that run specifically.

I believe the world records are fairly good for starting points. They just miss a couple of small details.

Alrighty, thanks! Cheesy

I assume by WR run for 100% you mean the one listed on SDA? I have watched A and B ending runs, but would like to take a look at a current 100% as that is the category I am more interested in.

Moka's run on SDA is the most current 100% run as far as I know - if you read back in this thread you'll see an agreement to change the rules to be all artifacts instead of all dungeons (which I think just means having to revisit 1 dungeon to get some extra artifacts at one point); but I don't believe anyone has completed a run under the new rules yet.

Daaaang, the work on this game has come a huuuuuuge way since I last invaded the thread Smiley

YAAAY. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on it seems! And a huge congrats to Josh for his new runs! They were really fantastic to watch! Come back! I want to nerd out about your work on the new 100% category!

So if we were to do a current run, we would have to revisit the Forest of Spirits and do the boss that appears once you complete it?

That would be preferred, given that there was a community consensus to start including it in 100% runs (unless that's changed again).
