I am getting irritated with Final Fantasy 8, and I was curious what this game would look like TAS'd, so here is a quick test run of the first two Dark Tide Orc Levels.
You so just made that post up to keep this bumped! Ok. In regards to 7777HP...10% health is what you get per materia at stage 1. No point focusing on the levels after that as any bosses used with this strat would be much later on in the game (post Mideel). Let's say for arguments' sake the character you apply this to Cloud or Cid (IMO shouldn't be Tifa or Cait Sith) is approx. lvl. 19. by then. Say they have around 800hp. This is how far their HP could go... 800 > 880 > 968 > 1065 > 1172 > 1289 > 1418 > 1560 > 1716 (that's one weapon with max slots) 1716 > 1888 > 2077 > 2285 > 2514 > 2765 > 3042 > 3346 > 3681 (and an accessory at max slots!) Just wouldn't work, mate. There's the factoring in of buying 16 of this materia and an additional inventory time even if you manipulated the exp and hp points per level well enough later on in the game. Slots and Death Sentence shenanigans it is!
While it's annoying, this "entertainment" bull that's been here truly sucks. I want to watch the fastest possible, not just some approximation thereof. Haters gonna hate. If it saves time, use it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVlx144XdIc Pause glitch This is what it will look like if used. It can be used to slow down in-game clock, ATB, RNG, Status ailments... Animation continues at normal speed The battle ends 4 frames earlier (we think due to the pause messing with the loading of the victory sequence, or something) Common applications may involve slowing down enemy ATB and manipulating the RNG
thanks any ideas how to improve on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lYRe3T_i2E (regular speed run strategy) i don't have: cross slash right arm i have managed to defeat red dragon in 45 seconds using these attacks: tifa counter attack, tifa DB, cloud attack, aeris grenade but it isn't impressive to almost match the time of the above video one strategy that i will try next is added-effect_time to inflict slow this may save time (animation of red dragon's second attack) just found out red dragon is not immune to poison.... damn wikies!!!!
