I wasn't able to watch it. It says something about "" being an invalid name or something.
Anyways, I've been studying to see if it's really worth it to get the Triple Rod and Boomerang Shield. First thing to report:
In my testing, it added 1379 frames to simply get the triple rod, not including whatever time I'd lose switching to it (74 frames to switch to, probably same to switch from). For questimation purposes, I assumed the Boomerang Shield would take about the same amount of time.
Anyways, the only use for the Shield Boomerag would be the ability to hit bosses with elemental damage...unless it could also be used to hit Maha Ganesharrif (sp? unimportant, though) through his attacks in the final level rematch. I guess I haven't explored that yet, but I'll take a look later.
Anyways, as far as getting it for elemental reasons, unless I'm simply forgetting a boss, the only place I found where it might save time would be the Leviathan battle MKII (where the arena is different.) I already explored fighting both Leviathan and Harpuia and
I won't be able to gain anywhere near 23 seconds from them.
So, is there any other problem boss one would use elemental attacks on?
For the triple rod, I'll test that a bit. I've got a couple of ideas for good uses but I've still got to figure out how much time they'll actually save.
Oh, and as for the extra\stray bullets in the videos, you can break out of the slashing a bit early by dashing, but you can break out earlier by shooting (however your next attack will be at the same frame as dashing to break out). The advantage of that is obviously more maneuverability.
Anyways, I think those are the relevant things to report about that I don't think have been mentioned yet.
