Hello dear speedrunners and glitch hunters,

With this I open a bounty hunt to find glitches for the game "7 Blades" for the PS2. It doesn't matter if it is the PAL or japanese version.

Since there are no known glitches or heavy exploits yet which help in a speedrun, any glitch or heavy exploit which is helpful in a speedrun will be rewarded.

The game has not seen a lot of speedruns so there should be a ton of room to improve. You can look at the world record run as reference.

I do not have an unlimited fund (because I am just a single person) so the rewards will be categorized as follows:

• If you find any glitch which has not yet been used in the world record run and actually saves time (atleast semi-)consistently => 20$
• If you find any glitch which completely breaks the game and shaves up minutes of the current strats => 80$ to 100$ based on consistency
• If you find a consistent strat or exploit/glitch for stage 3.1 (the beach; also called "Strand" in the world record split) => 20$ to 50$ based on how much time it saves
• If you find a way to make the auto scroller faster or consistent in stage 15 (currently it seems random how long it takes and it kills a lot of runs) => 40$

To keep it fair please answer on this thread with your findings/results then Savedro (the world record holder) and me (the second person to run this game lol) will confirm them.

After confirmation I will post on this thread who earned the price.

Rules:

1. The result must be as easy to understand as possible. Just text is allowed as long as we can confirm it, otherwise we would ask for a video of the trick in action.
2. Payment will be done via PayPal or a giftcard of your choice. If I can't buy a giftcard of your choice or use PayPal, we will default it to an amazon giftcard.
3. If someone else already found a trick for the same part of the game you are about to post, the first person will get paid, unless you save siginifanctly (atleast 30% more time save) more time than the first person, then I will reward both of them to keep it fair
4. If my funds run out because for some reason you guys find a lot of tricks, I will stop the bounty hunt with a post in this thread and might resume it at a later point
5. Runs can and should be done on emulator to even the playing field for everyone.
6. You have to state in your post if you did it in the PAL or japanese version.

If you have any further questions please just ask away in this thread or contact me on discord "david_dabmaster", I have a Luigi profile pic, hard to miss.

PS: I know the bounties aren't big, but the speedrunning community for this game specifically consists of 2 people

Thanks!

Happy hunting

Since no one replied for months i will close this thread. If there is any interest later on, just hit me up.
