So I was thinking about doing a 4 player run of this and I had some questions:

What cheats are and aren't allowed? I know the the WR vid the Noble Sacrifice cheat is used numerous times to stack up on money, but what's stopping runners from say, using the cheat that gives the Power of Love for every level? Is it just agreed upon that we can only use the sacrifice cheat?

Secondly, why is it that we purchase from Wallace's shop for stat maxing? Wouldn't no account video be faster to max stats on?

i should be mod because i hold the world record :P

i feel like every time i hesitate while boosting the game knows it and makes me sit in place like the coward i am

yeah, i've been just holding x but it'll take out 3 bars of hp and then he teleports out; i'll try it on 720p and see if that fixes it

Hey guys, I just started practicing this run and have gotten a mildly decent time (current PB is around 1:27), but I have a couple of questions on some fights that have been giving me some trouble

-Spirit of the magic mirror: my problem here is usually being unable to charge the finisher because he disappears too fast which makes the fight significantly longer. After I knock him down he gets up with one more hit needed for a full charge.

-Dragon: I can't seem to get this in one cycle; I get the second spellweaver but once it's charged she just flies away and I lose the charge

-Braig: every time I land swordbill, it brings him to half a bar or HP left and then he moves out of the attack and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here

Thanks in advance for any help!

I figured I'd post this as a separate thread since the last time this board has been posted in was half a year ago so I don't even know if any of the mods are going to read this but: Why not have a New Game category; probably to be run on easy (due to speed) or normal.

While I figure you could do a NG+ run with the 5/6 star weapons and plow through things, I thought this would be a neat category too due to not actually needing a save file to start the run.
