I did a small amount of testing myself, it seems killing that one ganado is important to spawns, but for optimal VR village we actually want to kill him as late as possible, instead of earlier as one would in other versions

The spawns definitely make the most sense but I could have sworn that on professional difficulty the difficultly scaling isn't applied, it's left on the highest setting which is one of the biggest benefits of running pro

Well yeah, if we're dead-set on killing him then shooting him in the head makes him cha cha too hard. But the question is more so why kill him at all? Sorry if I was unclear on that lol

I just really really really REALLY need to understand this because I can't find it explained anywhere and I just... don't understand the logic behind it

Why is it necessary in NG pro to kill that one specific Ganado at the start of 1-1 village with 7 shots to the back? I assume it's some kind of AI manipulation, but I just really don't know and I just... NEED to know

Not all of them! The double gigante skip is still possible, although the boulder skip I was also having difficulty with so it makes sense that was patched out too... Thanks for the update!

Can anyone verify if this is still possible after recent updates? Trying to practice it both in first and 3rd person, but I get swung so far to the center of the cart I'm not sure it works. I've never done it before so maybe I just have to keep practicing, but I'm concerned about wasting my time if it's somehow been fixed :/
