Game & Run Overview

• This title was released by the major Japanese corporation, Itochu Corporation” in 1997.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itochu )
  • However, it is a highly obscure title virtually unknown even to the Japanese public, and the company has likely buried it as a piece of 'dark history.' You won't find any mention of it on either their official website or Wikipedia.
  • While the BGM is fantastic and the voice-acting cast—featuring Ryo Horikawa as the protagonist—is exceptionally star-studded, the notoriously high encounter rate and extreme difficulty have earned it a reputation in Japan as a "Kusoge with great audio."
• Features 3D dungeon-crawler movement despite being a fighting game.
  • Map movement has been optimized down to the frame.
• Includes RPG elements like equipping gear and upgrading max HP.
  • However, since this run takes the absolute shortest route, these elements are completely skipped.
• In preparation for submission to TASvideos, I managed to reduce the playtime by approximately 1,500 frames compared to my initial version.
  • In addition to overall optimizations, I implemented a minor time-saving trick not seen in this YouTube video: pressing an alarm switch and a directional key simultaneously.
  • Because I changed the strategy for defeating the boss in Scene 1, the subsequent RNG shifted entirely, forcing me to re-record everything from scratch.
  • Since this YouTube video shows my initial TAS and was created using the "SCPH-77000" BIOS, I did not submit this specific run to TASvideos.
    • The 77000 model launches games approximately 540 frames faster than the submission-standard SCPH-5500.
