I tried real time for opening both chests. What about when opening the chests in the Strength Tower? Does that byte change in any way?

It seems to have been unrelated to triggering. Even when using B instead of C to scroll text faster, I couldn't trigger LeRoof. I tried no ring, one ring and both...

I might try to look into that Z pressing, which I don't *actively* do

Back on Rykros with about 3k frame advantage. Sadly, I am stuck AGAIN because Leroof refuses to show up. I've waited one frame like I used to do, nothing triggers. Help! I've come too far to give up

While I lost about 60 frames of fighting (total), I'm still about 480 frames ahead of the previous test run after DF III. That makes a save of roughly 2500 frames from the most recent published run.

Lost another 12 frames of fighting, but I'm still about 480 frames ahead after the 1st part of the Air Castle. Plus, I had the best fight possible with ZERO giwat on the xe-la-thoul side

Although I lost 20 frames in DF I fight, I'm still about 400 frames ahead when skipping the ship docking. Creatures of darkness are truly weak to cold

trimmed another 260 frames with the flare method. I think it's as good as it gets; Rika runs out of 2x slash. However, I will have to backtrack since I realized I didn't press start when docking the spaceship earlier on. Let's see if it makes a whole lot of difference in the end..

Now 2114 frames ahead after DF III. I will try using Wren's flare in the first 2 rounds, since I know he has enough. And also kill off Chaz earlier if possible...

Now a 1775 frame advantage after DF II. It probably comes for Rika attacking rather than casting deban

now down 1700 frames, since I don,t need Wren's barrier, and can therefore use macros only (couldn't replicate the attack-only, though)

Now a 1331 frames advantage after the Air Castle priests. I had the ABSOLUTE BEST outcome possible: they ONLY used their physical attack, which uses fewer frames than any spell

Now 1265 frames ahead after Zio. Trimmed 57 more frames at Gy-Laguiah, and about 50 more after Zio. I might try my luck further with Zio, considering that moving in the macro menu also influences the RNG...

Improve the run by 7 more frames after Gy-Laguiah. Might still try to improve it; this is the worst fight for manipulation (I remember losing frames to my second last completed run)

But shouldn't I first do it with Gens? I need to compare apples to apples; of course, I could redo a run with Bizhawk AND THEN do it the way I'm doing it right now

Reworked the game with Gens 11a. Already 1152 frames shorter after Juza. I might still try to shorten up to that point

I have (finally) decided to redo the speedrun with a new strategy (can't seem to be able to use the usual storage). So far Juza: 60029 frames Gy-Laguiah: 82200 frames According to frame conversion to time, I have slowed down. And since I can't open my previous TAS, I can't directly compare. Can someone confirm? The point of reference for both is the appearance of the dialogue box at the end of both fights

Very impressive. I was working on this glitched speedrun but got stuck in Moclum. Now you showed me that it's possible to skip it altogether!!

I need to backup to get a telepipe; what's your take? And can I save a few frames with the bizhawk editor? As for the glitches: I need to look further.

I did give it a try, and indeed I can escape. I think I can even improve the Juza fight by having Chaz already at level 4 before the fight (and therefore, 3 tsu). As for emulation: bizhawk is said to lag more. However, gens has no movie option. Please refresh my memory...

Oh, don't feel bad about "doing my run." I'm done with TASing, it's too time-consuming

puisqu'il s'agit de ma course, je me permes de commenter. - bonne idée de te tuer au début - presque pas besoin de prendre de trésor, à moins que tu aies l'intention de pêcher le manillo pour éventuellement gagner du temps - lors de la 1re rencontre avec le boss, rei peut s'en ocuper seul avec des coups critiques

It's a nice start, however overall it looks at best as good as mine (except that shortcut of attacking yourself in the mine) - In my run I barely pick any treasures as they are not useful - You can manipulate Rei to crit all the time against the first Nu and have the others defend. It's shorter than way.

is there a way to force enemies to drop items? I'm trying to have silver jellies drop at least one gnome stone so I can save on that trip before Sanguios Cave
