Hello ! Just wondering something : should I create a new topic for Reverse/Rebirth ? Anyway, here is the first version of Hollow Bastion : Link to video Can someone say me if I did well with save anchored movie ? (I created a movie from a specific point, not from power on... Is it good ?) So Reverse/Rebirth and Hollow Bastion : For now, I don't have to worry about Dark Mode. Marluxia and Ansem are killed with simple combos (and Overdrive for the Seeker of Darkness). I think I'll change one or two map cards (to avoid the Teeming Darkness), so don't consider it as the final version. I'm going to do my test about AP and damage in Traverse Town (where I can get Dark Mode). Do you have any suggestions ?

Hello ars4326 (I hope you'll see this message). Thanks ! I tried to be as complete as possible (I'm afraid there are still some unknown parts about the RNG). So, thank to you for judging and to Spikestuff for the encode (once again :p)

Thanks ! Yes, I do (I just would like to go on Bizhawk). EDIT : OK, I've found a way to copy a save file from VBA to Bizhawk !

InfamousKnight : Sorry but Spikestuff has already done an encode (he is so fast). Link to video The video is still being uploaded, so you must wait a little if it doesn't work ;).

I could get Berserk with this attack but the rest of the battle is longer... So jumping over is better. He has 2237 HP (scythes : 660 each and flowers : 111). 1 combo and 2 attacks deal 435 HP. At the end of the first cycle, he has 989 HP. The animations of the scythes' attacks are longer than flowers' (and they both deal 40 HP, except that the flowers shoot many times). And I've forgotten to say two things : - Cycles are random (they don't have the same length) : destroying the flowers will lower it (and some other things). - Donald helped you out with your WR... And he helped me too : I used his card to cardbreak one attack : it has the same value, so it was faster. I can't see anything to be improved... So I'll try a proper encode (but I'll probably fail : my computer is getting old and slow).

Hello ! Marluxia is once again dead. Link to video So, I took the HP bonus and that allows Sora to get Berserk faster (with the flower-drones). I can't get a 1 cycle : I don't deal enough damage (and getting stronger cards would be longer). I totally confirm that not going on his back is a lot faster. Actually, I can get a total of 5 hits (but it's almost frame perfect). Do you see anything to be improved ? (This time, I really don't).

1) Oh, yes, indeed, thanks (even if it doesn't improve the time). 2) The scythes deal 40 HP. So, yes, I can. Berserk is enabled once you get 22 HP. 3) All physical attacks are increased by 50 %. I'll see if I need Oathkeeper and if I can get a one cycle. I'm taking a look with 95 HP.

I'm afraid it isn't really useful here : I can't use it while on the machine/Nobody (because I need a ground) and the animation is longer than the frames of Marluxia's vulnerability... So I don't think it may work

Hello ! Marluxia II is over ! Link to video So:
    Don't worry if you do mistakes, you can't remember everything every time ;). Indeed, the "swing" attack is faster to destroy the two scythes. Actually, in TAS, we don't need to waste cards (but I'm afraid it's impossible for a human speedrun) : Marluxia is vulnerable after a few frames from the cardbreak, so, if Sora has a good position, the card can be used to hit the Nobody... But this method asks anticipation. The flower-drones deal 40 HP per hit (no matter how many they are, that only changes the fire rate), so it can't be used to get Berserk... But Marluxia's attacks deal just enough. So, until he attacks with his machine (I don't know if it's a Nobody or a machine), I use Overdrive.
But I have a problem : I don't have the feeling that's perfect (my feelings may be wrong), but I don't see what part of the battle can be faster. Can you see anything that can be improved ?

Don't you like it ? It's a nice little discrete noise, isn't it ? (I've never understood why they put this noise in every game... We can see we're in danger, we don't need a big alarm)

Hello ! The first fight against the Graceful Assassin is over. Link to video The yellow card deals 54 HP, so I don't need to get an HP upgrade, but it isn't enough to get Berserk. For the rest, that looks like the other bosses : cardbreaks (with 0 card or sleight) to manipulate him, anticipating movements and Berserk : 270 HP lost per combo (against 180 HP for a enemy without weakness). I'm going to take a look at Marluxia II and see if I need more HPs.

Bonjour ! Hum... Encore une fois, j'ai oublié de mettre à jour ce poste. Donc, je mets le lien vers la playlist (les bonnes vidéos sont vers le bas). Îles du Destin :
    Pour les salles, idem que pour la Cité du Crépuscule Darkside ne peut pas être manipulé comme les autres boss (sauf si on se prend des coups ou qu'on ne le tape pas). Furie est la méthode la plus rapide (avec un complément d'Overdrive pour maximiser les dégâts quand on n'est pas encore en HP critique). Néo Riku IV : Pour une fois, Furie est plus rapide que Omnislash contre Riku. Ce combat est dur à optimiser (beaucoup d'esquives et de cardbreaks). J'ai rajouté des cartes 0 au paquet (et retirer les cartes Brasier) et même si je ne m'en sers pas pour ce combat, il reste plus rapide que sans les ajouter (Riku est moins agressif). Larxene II : Pour ne pas changer : Furie... Les cartes 0 permettent de la cardbreaker plus rapidement. Le problème étant que ces cartes 0, qui sont des Keyblades moins puissantes, infligent moins de dégâts que les cartes que j'emploie d'habitude (sauf Trésor des Mers, si employé en fin de combo).
Manoir Oblivion:
    Le dernier monde ! Les salles suivent toujours le même principe que les mondes déjà faits... Donc, rien à dire, à part qu'il y a beaucoup de portes à ouvrir. Axel : Il a 1680 HP et Estoc Glacier fait 375 de dégâts. Donc, en 5 Tours, il est mort. Les cartes 0 servent ici aussi à le manipuler (et à abréger ses animations).

Hello ! It was faster to TAS than what I expected, but here is the first part of Castle Oblivion ! Link to video Doors and exploration : nothing to say, always the same thing... Axel : At the beginning, if Sora runs to Axel, he will try to attack him... Otherwise, he would go away. For the rest, it's basic AI manipulation with cardbreaks. He has 1680 HP, so with 5 perfect Blizzard Raids (375 HP each), he's dead. What do you think about this segment ?

Hello ! So, here are our two friends. Link to video As I already said, the three 0 cards are Kingdom Key, Olympia and Crabclaw and I didn't need to use them for Riku. For Larxene II : getting a low HP is a bit too long for me but I can't do better (every other possibilities I've fond are slower). But once Berserk is activated, everything is fast. There are a few moments when Sora must wait to attack, otherwise Larxene would cardbreak him (she changes her patterns often). 0 cards are used against her, and Crabclaw 0 is used to finish a combo to maximise damages.

So, I tried by adding 3 0 cards, actually the only 3 I have : Kingdom Key, Olympia and Crabclaw. I've also deleted all the Fire Cards because they aren't going to be useful anymore. The movie is a bit faster despite the menuing and the AI manipulation to take damage but I didn't need to use 0 card (Riku only used sleights with "low" values). I must admit I wondered when I had to add them, before of after Riku, but I think it's better before. I'll encode this battle along with Larxene.

Maybe... I first need to do it again (but by using cheats for map cards... So it's going to be fast), take note of the maps and then establish the route planning (except if anyone wants to do it/help me ^^). So, it may last some time before I start TASing (with Bizhawk, so I also have to learn the few more tools, and seek after the memory adresses). But it's highly probable ;).

Hey (always wanted to talk with DK :D) ! I would say between 01:30 and 01:40 (RTA time), if my estimations are right (I hope Axel will jump into my attacks... Yes, I want to take my revenge), but TAS time will be longer, of course (damn cutscenes). Thanks ;).

Hello ! Here is Riku Replica IV Link to video I must admit that I didn't try Omnislash, but, by a simple mathematics operation, it's clear that Berserk is faster, this time. I need 9 Omnislashes to kill Riku and one lasts around 545 (I say around because there may be lag frames), so it's around 5000 frames (with IA manipulation, if everything goes well). Berserk version lasts less than 3000 frames. Do you see any improvements ?

Hello ! Here is Darkside. Link to video So, I applied what you suggested, Ghosthweel, and I improved many other parts (such as not cardbreaking it to be able to hit it more). But, apart from that, this isn't very different but it's way faster. If you see other improvements, say it ;).
