Getting the green guy in the USA version is indeed possible. If you're using Bloodeemary's video as a guide, then you should also consider checking out the notes on Bloodeemary's Twitch page. - https://www.twitch.tv/bloodeemary
First, you need to be on a floor with at least two items. In order to ensure this, save before you enter the Arena Gate and then reset the game until you find a floor that qualifies.The guide then says to use the Repellent, walk 200 steps, and then save right before going to the next floor. You should be able to find the merchant foreign master.
I am also currently learning the speedrun for this game and by following these steps I have been able to get the green dude to appear. Good luck and let me know if you intend on streaming this game!! ^^
Alternatively, if it's done in the WR video, then it is allowed.
Okay, but here's a sobering thought...with the Japanese release of Undertale, we might have a bunch of Japanese runners on our hands. Then we're truly boned.
After getting 5 cycle twice during runs this past week, I decided to experiment with Mad Dummy to see if I just got lucky or if my method was valid. While practicing, I managed to get 5 cycle three times in about a 20-minute period. I find that by not damage boosting the corners during the second cycle, the next three volleys are much easier to land on the dummy. Please let me know what you guys think of this strategy as I find it much less "impossible" than traditional 5 cycles.
