Hello there, a few questions

Hey everyone,

I've been playing ToS on the NGC version since it's release, and i got myself the PS2 version a few years ago, obviously, it's with no doubt my favorite game, and after playing it for so long and looking at some speedruns on this site, i thought like "Hmm, why wouldn't I try it myself ?". This is mainly for my own entertainement of course, since i'm not streaming and stuff, but I thought it could be fun to try

But before I just have two questions at first for you guys, mainly after looking at the guide on googledocs (sorry if these are answered somewhere but i didn't find it :p) What's the point of picking HP min in the grade shop ? Why are you picking the "combo expert" title for lloyd instead of the one you get from killing 256 ennemies in mania (Berserker i think it is) ?

Cya guys, keep up the good work on this awesome game ;)

Hey!

Sorry for not responding before (the speedrun scene was in vacation for a bit, I would say ^^)

THe point of HP min is since you have 10x XP you are overlevelled really really fast. And since you need to die on some fights (Kratos 1,2, Yggy 1 are the first example that comes to my mind), you don't want this to take forever. Even if you can kill Kratos 1 it's faster to die usually so that's the idea of HP min. And anyway you are going to over DPS everything so no problem for HP on other fights.

Combo expert is a new thing introduced in the latest new strats for Sylvarant. We used to have Berserker because based best strength growth but combo expert gives more TP, which allow to use Demonic Tiger Blade during early game fight, basically more techniques. It's not the fastest way to do it, fastest being Meteor Storm first try with Genis' randomizer but it's RNG and we chose consistency over fast which usually didn't work anyway because RNGenis.

Hope I was able to answer your question!
