Any% v1.0 notes

~Notes are for v1.0; some score requirements have changed.~
~These are FurretTurret's personal notes and could probably be optimized further.~

Format for duel information:
VS. opponent (theme) - normal score/hard score
- preferences, dish score = notes on what to do => target lvl3 gems
(Dish score is the score that should be displayed by the dish when serving; the final score will be higher after adding preferences and expertises.)

Automatic equips (e.g. acquiring an item when there's an empty slot for it) are not shown.
Target scores are an overestimate for the highest observed opponent score, to be high enough to always win and no higher.
The route doesn't account for drops from chests, since they're inconsistent.

how the dynamic dificulty works

"Here are the basics:
There is no dynamic difficulty on Hard. Only on Normal.
The difficulty factor changes when you lose or win. It is clamped between 0.5 and 1.5.
The factor starts at 1.0. On a loss, it goes down by 0.15. On a win, it goes up by 0.075.
The AI target dish score range target is multiplied by the difficulty factor to get a final range for the AI to shoot for. It is possible, especially in weird duels with poison or easy duels due to story reasons, for the AI to fail to adhere strictly to the designed range. That is, the AI can score higher in a rematch just due to the randomness of the AI system.

Hope that helps and happy speedrunning!"

quote from the developer

my button mashing autohotkey script

q::
If running
{
	SetTimer, SendSpace, off
	Running := 0
}
Else
{
	SetTimer, SendSpace, 16
	Running := 1
}
Return


SendSpace:
Send {Space}
Return

;you can use xpadder or joy2key to bind a button on the joypad to the q key. it is a toggle.

my current route.

it is somewhat incomplete and may be inaccurate in some areas but if someone is gonna run normal this should help.
