mmm... can commentaries (for the introduction on the movie page) can be made by someone else than the original author? If so, PM me for your suggestions. I really don't know what else to say :p
back in the subject : yes, my run includes the whole revision from the escape from zio 1.
I beat DF III, but without sgnificiant improvment (23 frames!) any suggestions?

twisted eye : in order for chaz to use to many tsu, I would need Kyra to lose quite a bit less HP, and that's a lot of manipulation. when I get back to lashiec (i need to rework zio 1!), I will try it

The last bit with demi looks pretty good to me. What's the final count on frames saved between this latest WIP and your published run?
about 22k. i'm not entirely satisfied; because of chaz' low dexterity, he misses often. and when he succeeds, PD casts the wrong magic
Another possible improvement if you go with Raja: You could take Demi for long enough to unequip her SonicBustr and give it to Wren. It would be a 40-point or so improvement to his attack power.
it would still be an attack. with raja, I already take the malay dagger, which will be very useful. When raja casts ataraxia (i will use a macro), chaz will use it. bu i might give it a shot

here's what the run looked like with raja. The napalm shot is definitly not that useful...
I started again. I got the plasma sword, which will be useful against the strength tower boss AND not so out of the way like the guard sword.
For Profound darkness : I think I need to keep chaz dead. after the courage tower, Rune gets nafoi AND is less than 9k EP from getting nawat. However, without ataraxia, his magic is going to be limited. Should I still get the malay dagger? Should I fight monsters inside elsydeon cave? Chaz will be soooo slow

I will try and finish the game first. then, I think i will (finally) opt for Demi and get the repair-kit from kuran. finally, I will go for the plasma-sword, more accessible AND not get the napalm shot, unless it does awesone damage to PD

when he is almost dead, that means I can do as little as 4900 damage. And since chaz is the slowest, he's the one using the psycho-wand. Keeping him dead (and using tsu only twice) would mean 400-450 less damage...
I might try reviving chaz twice anyway. It looks like the napalmshot is only useful against lashiec. Guns have such inconsistent damage...

Since Chaz was able to be alive during a Posession turn, his Reinforce turn, and another Posession turn, that makes me think that it's possible to only revive Chaz once.
actually no. don't forget that lashiec casts his thunder attack every second round and chaz can't survive it.
However, I fully understand that this is probably slower since Lashiec only uses Reinforce when he's already quite weak.

life deleters are at the vahal forteress. Which means I would have to get to Aiedo and to the forteress. It's quite a detour...
speedrun is about speed. I don't think I will level up Chaz

if I remember one of my FAQs, I think only Hahn can do anything with the dagger... What about the eclipse torch or laco-rod? would it be worth it?
Getting Raja would be a good idea too; since rika, rune and Wren would get higher since Chaz doesn't level up, maybe he (and the others) would be at higher levels.
but would he be more useful than demi? her medical power can resurect after megid in a single round...
