Boss Rush runs have the problem with goal definitions (realtime? Lv99? OoB into BR? OoB within BR?), and one can even get a ridiculously low time record with memory corruption....
and can anyone guess what happened with the penultimate boss's health bar?
Would love to see something like that.. though it's hard to pinpoint an exact point where the game is "complete," but that can be figured out.
Shortest input is what other TASes are pretty much doing right now - the only difference would be that "no input" is not a valid input - it makes sense if you consider each input from the player as a "frame".
Are there bugs that will let you skip 90% of the game, like in PoR? The PoR TAS, if I recall correctly, only had to fight two bosses, and was at an appropriate level for one of them; thus, there was only one really long dragged-out fight. Givenr OoE's structure, I don't think such a massive game skip would be possible (though I could of course be wrong).
Besides the whole "is this one game or one-third of a game?" issue
How do you get on Eligor's back? I can't figure it out from watching. Is it feasible in real-time play?
doesnt the VK is weaker than holy claymore or the final sword ?
tl;dr: Healing touch usage on all ops that allow it to save time, y/n?
There is a Windows (PC) version of the whole game. Though it appears within the "warez" category, it goes all the way through and there is no need to switch media because the work of "both CD's" are on the same HDD.
Edit: Well, this is unfortunate
Oh, does having 2 or more same souls make its effect stronger?Anyway, I think I basically agree with you. Obtaining a soul lags too much :/Also, thank you for contributing your watch list. It's somewhat useful.
Route point: Redire+Magnes. While you'd need a significant detour to get, it's faster than the plain Speed Up glyph, allows you to skip the detour to Volaticus, and you can't travel vertically as fast with anything else, with proper slingshotting.
I also figured out that I'm going to need pretty much every HEART MAX UP in the game. I need 10 for a total of 150 hearts. But three of them are in Kalidius Channel, which is slow and requires a lot of backtracking for two of them. And then 5 more HEART MAX UPs are in Dracula's Castle. But that's good since HEART MAX UPs are the best way to replenish my hearts after a boss battle. So basically I need to spend all my hearts on a boss, find one of these before the next boss, and so on. The heart refresh items which are a rare drop on the first two maps are worth 30 hearts each. That's something I can't afford not to have either.
