The new strats for taking out the Archers and Spearmen look really great. I'm not posting much but I've always got my eye on this thread. Hopefully this'll be the run that gets submitted :D

I for one am looking forward to this. It's odd to not really see any posts in this topic... but you do have fans!

If you're not all that familiar with this game, it's hard to see the improvements for what they are. That doesn't mean we shouldn't at least post some words of encouragement though. Good job! Keep it up!

This guy are sick.

How much time is a single frame worth?

1 frame = 00:00.02 7200 frames = 02:00.00 (60 fps, calculated using the frames tag)

I'm watching an episode of The Event right now but as soon as it finished I will watch this TAS. Congratulations on finishing!

Considering how many times you've done the game over, I think this one should be ready for submission. I mean it has so much judging competition at the moment!!! I actually find this one more interesting than the BoF2 TAS, because nearly every battle has a different strategy aside from near the very end. I guess you could test and see if Goda could be beaten more quickly without Agni, but that's all I can think of.

in my previous tries, not using Agni against Goda and Jade was at least 1k-2k frames longer.

One last question before you submit (i haven't seen your wips btw). Have you tested about not using Agni against Tyr (human form), it probably saves some time, because of one less cutscene. EDIT: And i think she have way more less HP.

not, I haven't test no agni against the goddess. doing so (all the way) yields the bad ending. using right away skips straight to the good ending
