Hey all,

I'm currently playing this game for the first time and really enjoying it, so I came around here to see how the speedrun is and it looks really neat! Is there any written-down information out there about how any of this stuff works though? (Pause jump, RNG manipulation, general routing). Would be super interested!

Thanks! <3

In case you didn't see it in the resources section, here's the discord for odin sphere speedrun chat:

Hey folks,

What are the legal SNES emulators for running this game? Would like to get into that.

Thanks! -Me

Hey everybody!

I thought it would be a good idea to have a master thread of any commentated speedruns that happen, for the benefit of people learning the game. This is that thread! Will break it down by category, I suppose.

Was doing a run attempt when suddenly, during the general brigan fight, I opened the psypher skill menu at the same time as being hit by his grab attack. This froze brigan in the start of the grab animation and catapulted me into the air, getting me stuck in midair but also fully actionable. Here's a video:

I could freely do attacks, etc, while in this state. When I opened the menu again and did a phozon burst, I was brought back down, brigan was unfrozen, and the attack continued.

I'm thinking this could have a practical application to speed up the brigan fight. If it turns out you can close the menu fast enough to hover in the air right next to brigan, and brigan can be attacked and take damage during this frozen state, you could just sit there and spam attacks at him while he's a sitting duck unable to fight back. If this works, the optimal brigan fight would probably be 4x phozon burst to remove his armour, followed by trying to get grabbed and activate this glitch to kill him easily.

Will test. If anybody else finds cool stuff with this glitch, please post away! <3 in any case it's a neat thing

Heyhey!

I was wondering if we could add the digital/PSN "ps2 classics" PS3 version of this game to the platforms list for runs. I'm running on this version personally, as it appears to save a ton of time by cutting down on a lot of the lag in the game. Not sure if it's the fastest version of the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Highly recommended!

Best, -Me
