Screw you and your crap "Robbie-isms"! I can't understand how any of these are, or can potentially be, funny. Also, stop bickering about who said what. Sit down and shut up, both of you.
Other note : I the cave with the 1st pison, we should kill that treasure chest monster... they can drop rare gems if you can manipulate them well enough, so it would be a quick 2500-5000 gold
Tailz, if you want to try your luck @ this game, you should first record a test run of the game... not really an intensive test run for time I mean, but just manipulation Like, don't try to manipulate as best/fast as possible, just do like Drom was doing... we only need to know what levels are optimal for certain parts.
Escape works, Dromiceius.
I myself would love to do a TAS for this, I can remember where to go etc etc however I'm no good at searching for maximum damage and exploiting the game at all, so less somebody could guide me on how to do this effectively my TAS would be very poor.
For direct RNG manipulation, I usually use a spreadsheet program, but I suppose your idea of making a DOS-like program will also work.
Yeah. Manipulation is definitely the key to this run. We have to be able to make the bosses miss. I know for a fact it's harder than hell to beat FOMA below 30 with no manipulation.
What kind of tools were you considering building, Dromiceius? Figuring out how the RNG can be affected would greatly assist speedrunning, and this is a game I'd like to try TASing.
Have yet to prove if leaving a character and getting it back after one level or two would give all the stats that were lost using the "in party" formula.
You're very brave to attempt this on the US version. The Japanese one is much easier because of the level ups. IIRC, you can get 2 stat points above average instead of 1 and every 10 level the average goes up. This progression is kept in the US version for all apprentices except the player, which would explain why they're so much stronger than you.
...Unless it really is giving false-positives, but that can be easily checked: Backup your movie, then load the savestate in writable mode and close the movie, then make another backup, and compare the two backups in a hex editor. If the input has any differences (or if it ends) before the frame of the savestate then it's intentional behavior.
Yes, you get exp and gold when you kill him with the whistle.
Wow, I sign up today, check the SNES forum and see the top thread be my fave SNES game of all time. I have beaten the game with every character on console, and have it on my emulator here. I would attempt a TAS of this if I even knew HOW to start.. All I do is watch them, got no idea how to make them. ~Burkey
Anyway, I watched both .smvs and they were both good. I noticed in yours Dromiceius that you cycle through the menu alot. Does that effect the randomness?
Do we know if it's quicker to get the whistle to kill Romus or to kill him without it? True to get the whistle you have to get to him first and die but with manipulating around battles it may not take that long to get back. Gonna have to do some testing here.
Well done, but head to head is kind of boring because of the many interruptions all the time. A complete race in Challenge Pro mode would be much more fun to watch. Quality of this movie is good though, so I vote meh.
I should probably clarify, that whatever my stance is about homosexuality, it has no relevance to this discussion. I am not arguing basing on that view. And I'm not a sextalk'o'phobe either. To paraphrase what I said on the IRC channel: There's nothing wrong in loving sex. I just want it to be kept in a proportion. When it's a giggling topic, LOOK THOSE ANIMALS ARE FUCKING EACH OTHERS LOLOLOL, it is out of proportion and annoying (and immature).
My vote's for ZIGG-zuh-DEE-dip. Any suggestions?
Seriously, what have I done that's so terrible? I understand Rridgway, but not me.
