sorry, but my knowledge of coding is rather limited :(

I was able to squeeze another 1700 frames. Walking alongside walls seems to greatly delay battles ( I tried it at the very beggining, but I lsot everyhting I won at the Pooch fight). And having Peco during dialogues saves too.

although, I might try it once I finish this run

29k frames (over 8 minutes) ahead of the full run after the lighthouse. Walking (and, sometimes, the defense formation) are real time savers.

No need to get meryleep. Mi fights, using the same strategies as for the complete run, were less than 1k frames longer. PLus, I could still get an EX turn against myria

at least 7 hours; I already trimmed 351 seconds from the first full run. Depending on how things go, I might be able to trim another 5-10 minutes, especially if I don't need Meryleep

I do believe that item dropping is based on actions taken during the battle. I just finished fighting Pooch. After waiting only for a few frames, I was able to obtain a vitamin, and I didn't obtain anything when I fought a few frames before

balio and sunder are out. I was able to kill them in three rounds (minus garr's coutner attack). Against emitai, my luck made me save about 800 frames, which I didn't lose by getting the other widsom fruit

I'm in the middle of momo's tower. I would need help with lua script. At some parts in the tower (around the red-blue switches), I thought I had found a way to avoid battles by turning in circles...

Have you tried walking instead of running? In BOF 3, when I start walking 1 frame before a battle would start, I can delay the battle, and sometimes avoid it altogether

I will NOT be pursuing the lavaman experience trick. An icicle does at most 50 damage when the foe is fully charged, and it takes well over 10k frames to kill the beast. Not worth it
this way, I can skip the frost and thunder genes
btw, someone said before that giving a claymore to beyd transforms the weapon into a flare sword. Outside the volcano, is it worth getting it?

Going with IRT kaiser would've been a bit more interesting, but you probably didn't have the AP for it anyway.
exactly. Although I could try for the shaman ring; does it help for genes?
Given you 2 round the zombie dragon, this is a non-issue. you'd spend longer powering up a lavaman for exp.
don't forget about subsequent fights; I will be stronger
aand if you require trance, get it earlier, rather than backtracking for it.
I know, it was jsut a test
Ryu in the Trygon form (Flame+Frost+Thunder) should be able to take the souped-up Lava Men out in one Frost Breath, as there's no way to resist breath attacks in this game.
I can try, but since it's the only time I would need it, I might skip it (just like the frost gene)
whether or not all that armor is needed
no, they're not. Same thing for the wisdom fruit : I think I only need one!!
