WIP10 - the gathering Link to video http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/23409808464398780 Fun fact 1: All five major eras are featured in this WIP. Fun fact 2: By the end of this WIP, this run is about 10 minutes longer than [2451] DS Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus by Hoandjzj in 3:22:12.63, the longest published DS movie.

Flea's behavior versus Berserk Frog is attributed to an ATB glitch... Flea's AI doesn't get to advance at all because Frog's speed exactly matches up and overrides Flea's attack. Might be more to it than that, I'm not sure. If Frog's HP is lower than P3's HP, then he'll also override Flea's counterattack, otherwise he won't. Pretty weird. Perhaps Condition 02 could be a check on player's HP, but I would guess it's unrelated.
I guess this is fixed in the DS version.

WIP12 - the grinding Link to video http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/25138291505951490 Has been two months since the last WIP. This part consists of almost 35 minutes of grinding. Sorry if it disappoints you. The good news is that the process of grinding changes overtime. There are lots of new techs learned and manipulations so it's not totally brainless repetition. Another good news is the rest of the run will hopefully be grindless since I now have all the EXP and TP I ever need in this run.

Is fighting these encounters needed for the Dream Devourer?

They're needed for grinding TP for early game. Dream Devourer will be fought at the very end.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/45582566634888137 Link to video Ends after Zombor. This WIP contains the first two dupping sessions. During the second dupping session, I somehow got around 90 invisible Magic Tabs. I don't know how this happened, but I'm not gonna complain. :P

I don't know if that's technically possible, but since it's possible to access the Arena of the Ages before the first fight by saving and quitting, there's potential for a garbage stats run in this game that doesn't appear possible on the SNES version. I think such a run would be very entertaining. To clarify, I'm thinking of something like the following: . The Workman's Wallet must be equipped during all fights to prevent XP gain. This means acquiring it early. - All characters must have the worst possible equipment when fighting. For Crono, that means acquiring the Mop early. This probably requires multiple copies of the Workman's Wallet too. - When given the choice of a party composition, the one with the worst level sum must be used. This includes rejecting Frog's help in the Cathedral and preventing Crono's death. - Using tabs is banned.

Link to video http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/52716169455390961 Ends after defeating Magus. Now this run is only 2 minutes slower than the last one by the end of this WIP. It should catch up by the end of Azala fight for sure.

Unfortunately, that all bosses WIP desynced at some point. Maybe I'll turn it into any% at some point. https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/637777476010997839 Link to video In the mean time, I have decided to repurpose the old submission into a glitchless all bosses movie. This WIP continues from a certain point during the old WIP 9.

Restarting from after the 2300AD vortex because not getting Crono back asap at that point was a mistake. Link to video
