This is already my 3rd submission of the game. Here are the major changes (for more in-depth explanations, look at the previous submission)
- Juza : I had Gryz killed at the very beginning. 249 frames saved
- Gy-Laguiah: I forwent the magical barrier. 341 frames saved
- Zio : instead of healing Rune, I had him die (along with Rika) and Demi resurect them. Also, I tried fighting Zio with the Stun shot, and it's close to impossible to kill him with that. 130 frames saved
- Chaos Sorcerer : I was unable to have Rika kill him at very first...
- Dark Force I : I had Chaz die a little earlier. 55 frames saved
- Xe-A-Thoul: Although they spammed giwat, I was able to keep Kyra alive long enough to create Blizzard. Also, I seem to have forgotten that giwat was stronger than gifoi... 260 frames saved
- Lashiec : I used a Star-dew (found in the basement) to keep Rika from healing once. 160 frames saved
- Dark Force II : I had Chaz die earlier. 121 frames saved
- Dark Force III: I had Wren die too. 64 frames saved
- De-Vars : I took advantage of Rika's two extra doubleslash to use them. 170 frames saved (however, it was more or less cancelled by Rika's healing of herself aftwerwards)
- Saw-Lews : I had Chaz die earlier. 103 frames saved
- Profund Darkness : I hit my last key 523 frames earlier by letting PD use Cancellation every 2nd round, giving me a 10 frames span of extra manipulation.
For this fight, I tried doing it with the Malay Dagger and the Shadow Sword. In the first case, it took 600 more frames just to get out fo the spaceport. And in the 2nd case, 120 damages (80 without shift) is just not enough.
Total saving : 2136 frames
Possible improvement : Have Zio use more of his laser hand; and Xe-La attack more, have more luck with Chaz against PD (I was able to do away without Deban, but Chaz' low accuracy kept me from using this trial)
Frame suggestion : 236 337, 236 748, 237 797, 238 081, 240 839 (all of them being the "crotch attack")
