I will need to rework the movie. I think I can save time by doing my things with the bird rather than with the whale (I fish near township, after all). also, I will pick this medusa shield. After 10 rounds of fight against barubary, I can make at most 1980 damage, and that's if I'm lucky. plus, i will have everyone with attack up by the 2nd round against deathevn

Finally got a chance to catch up on this (download didn't work last time I tried). The waits in the G.Roach fight aren't really bad at all, in fact it looks much smoother IMO, and the Uparupa fight is barely any longer at all. Now, for the EmpireSD! :D The Guardeye fight worker out better than I expected with just Atk-Up, but I suggested a different strategy for the Archers on the previous page, if you have the WFruits for it. Necroman and Habaruku both get wrecked, just as predicted. I didn't quite realise originally just how quick it is to get the EmpireSD, but like the MeowST the results speak for themselves. It's great how the WIPs as a whole keep moving away from Dragon-spam and more towards other tactics.

I do have enough wise fruits (i get them all at simafort), but the dragon takes so much time. Although I could try it, at least for the first fight (for the second one, I would lose a round)

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1596985351/Breath%20of%20Fire%20II%20%28U%29.smv it's 9k frames ahead after the fat queen. Let's see if I can keep it up by flying rather than sailing on the whale

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1202095495/Breath%20of%20Fire%20II%20%28U%29.smv ready to attack infinity, and only 200 frames later than the previous improvment! that medusa shield is a pain to get... but I do gain a level through that.

with the new categories, could the "sad ending" killing Ganer along with the Guardeyes be accepted? I don't think the "worst ending" (not going through Inifinity) would be accepted...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H5dkc-0tMk A new money glitch has been found. I will definitely give it a try; since magic takes too much time it will definitely be worth it against Terrapin and other monsters before Ryu can use his dragon powers

In addition to the money glitch that's easy to do on an emulator (see preceding post), it also involves glitching the game so that your teammates have weapons like the moondrop (2 attacks in a row). However it involves RAM watch, and said video (around 3:30) doesn't make it very on how it actually works. Can anybody help me?

Uploaded my first test run on the "herb weapon glitch". In the armory, I was able to activate it for Nina and Sten, in addition to getting enough money to last me a lifetime (at least, until Coursair). I will improve it, if only to get a lead-off attack at Mt Fubi

I made HUGE improvements by the Joker. Nina can do 200 damage with her moondrop weapon (I need to equip her something to trigger the effect), finished the battle in THREE rounds and will NOT need the silver dagger. During the official run, I will try having Ryu defend since his contribution is insignificant, but auto-fight is definitely shorter than the original run.

This herb glitch run is DEFINITELY worth doing. You won't believe how quickly I beat the creon and terapin. And I was able to give Rand a moondrop weapon; I'm still pondering if I need to give it to Bow, And I'm still testing out whether I need so many wfruits. Next update after Nimufu. Oh, and I was able to avoid a fight between Windia and Captain. How could I forget about that one...

I've finished Simafort. Thanks to the money glitch, I should be able to purchase all the items I need in Captain in the future (minus, maybe, the freeze items in Guntz). And the run just keeps getting better!

Now in Highfort, faster than ever (I will polish afterward, of course). Not using those dragon powers is a boon. I might even change Spar for Katt if the Gate is too strong

Fighting fat is harder than I remember... Does anyone know which byte is the one for encounters? This website, https://gamehacking.org/?game=42397, seems to say it's 7E12DC, but I don't see it change at all

Going back to St.Eva's church. Using Rand in the world of dream was about 45 frames longer, although I have to re-test to make sure he turns correctly in the overworld. In Daisy's garden, I might be able to avoid using magic against the small rock (Rand's crit should be enough), and I don't need the magical objects with Rand and Nina (a net save, since going to that shop is a slight detour).

Moving to the final run of the moondrop glitch. Everything is running smoothly, despite total uncooperation from Baba

Back from fighting fat, and it's still significantly slower. 7e12DC is definitely the RAM for fights; it starts at 0 after a fight and INCREASES until an unknown limit then goes back to 0. Does anyone know how it works?
