Well by that point in the game the swallow will be obsoleted by more powerful swords anyways. I am some what in agreement with you about getting chono back because it does give the game the best possible ending. But it does take around 20 minutes to get crono back and during that time you cant level up much or obtain any usefull items. When i get to that point in the game i will do alot of testing to see the exact amount of time lost getting him back and see if it is worth it or not. the link should work if you right click on it and save as

more wip, right after obtaining the epoch; right click and save target as http://members.aol.com/NJHC6/ChronoWip2.smv I opted to get the swallow even though it cost me a minute and 40 seconds to get, it increases cronos attack power so much that all future fights should be several turns shorter. thanks ventuz for pointing that sparkle thing out to me, it shall be fixed when i start the new run

yea the mid tonic was a waste in the slash fight, dont worry it will be fixed in a new version. The reason why i didnt kill off a line of robots in the the r-series battle was that once one line is eliminated, the remaining three robots will start to use that annoying attack where they toss your character back and forth which causes some serious damage, and the animation takes a long time too. About the lady on the piano in the cathedral, i am almost certain that the sparkle does not appear until after you talk to her. stupid angelfire, i need to find a better place to host my files. thanks for posting my wip ventuz.

yeah, the race can most likely be done faster. I think you are correct about staying infront of johnny, but since this was just a WIP i didnt want to spend too much time on the race. I have seen tilus' run and it is tough to compare to mine due to the huge handicap of slow moving english text. However i think my movie is still ahead of his, although im not positive. Luck manipulation is very strange in this game, enemy actions dont seem to be affected by your input at certain frames, rather what attacks or items you use. Critical hits are very random and cannot be manipulated to occur once the battle has begun. Very little luck manipulation was used in my test run, and i predict that in my final run i can shave off a few more minutes with enough effort.

I recently started getting interested in this game after watching David Gibbons awsome run over at the SDA. I have been tinkering with some new ideas and have come up with a run that is much faster than his. Here is a WIP right up to the defeat of magus. I am about 17 minutes ahead of David's run at this point in the game and I hope to pick up another 20 or so minutes in the rest of the game. Feedback would be appreciated. Heres the movie: All sync settings are checked using the latest snes9x improvement http://www.angelfire.com/nj/NJHC6/chrono_wip1.smv
