It works for some games. And in this case, parameters and priorities are here to make things clear. Personally, I'd get a headache if the movie was made with the pause glitch.

It's been a lot of time since I last played the game, but seem to remember that you could OHKO the Zombie Dragon using Garr's Kyrie(or whatever his kill undead skill is).
Yep, but then Garr would have to be level 26. He does a good job being a meat shield. I think Ryu with a Flare Sword getting a few critical hits would optimal. How's the run coming along, janus?

Hoorah! I love BoF3! I love it so much that I made an account just so I can contribute to this run, even if remotely. Nice work on the WIP, so far. I hope I can be of some help by mentioning some things I've noticed while watching the WIP. Would it be faster to: 1) Just let Rei do the attacking during the early part of the game? Ryu and Teepo's damage/animation time do not seem to be outweigh another turn of Rei getting a critical and, say the Nue's, extra attack. 2) Manipulate Bombers from 'The Dump' to drop Ivory Dice? They drop at 1/128th chance. They could possibly be used for leveling Ryu up to an extreme level when killing the Dodai so you can later just manipulate criticals instead of opt'ing for super combo. 3) Defeat Claw and then defeat the Dodai as to get a Speed Boots drop from Claw at 1/32nd chance? They give +10 speed and might save you a few minutes of enemy attack animation. 4) Pick up a Flare Sword after Mt. Zublo for future fights? Both Dragon Zombie and Huge Slug take 200% damage from fire attacks. You can buy one from Urkan Tapa or give a Claymore to Beyd so that he turns that into the Flare Sword after his fight. 5) Get the Dragon Zombie to drop the Dragon Tear? I think you, janus, mentioned selling the Beast Spear for dough. This is probably excessive since the sell value is 30k zenny as well as the drop rate being 1/256. Ugh. But, just throwing out options. 6) Ignore Rei and not revive him during the Mikba fight? It doesn't seem like the time it takes to Influence him is worth the damage compared to Ryu's alone. 7) Use Frost Breath on the Gaist fight to kill the Torches so they don't do their Flare animation? Does keeping them around help you get EX Turns? Otherwise, I'd say wipe them out first. 8) Use Focus/Focus/Gambit instead of Focus/Gambit/Focus/Gambit in the Angler fight? By the way, I would love it if you got the GooKing Sword. Although, I can't imagine it saving you more than one or two attacks against Myra.
