Better be careful, or else you might encourage me to get some free 5 hour run in...
-
v9's in the final stages of testing, so I wouldn't expect any bosses to be added at this point, much less Ozma 2.0.
-
If you open the menu at the same time as jumping to hit a star chest, you'll be able to switch party members around while under the effects of a star. By doing this, the game applies all level up bonuses (including HP and spells) to the switched member. In this way, you can give Peach the bonuses Mallow would have gotten at level 70 (e.g. Dark Star). Death doesn't disqualify the run, but no save states or other emulator features allowed!

Well, that was fast. There's a reason no one else has touched hard mode with an 8 foot pole...

At the present time, there isn't a separate category for v8 easy/hard compared to v8 beta. If there were, my best (and only) time in v8 easy would be 3:25:03*. * Depends on start/end timing.
-
There's two major reasons to do it with the beta: A lot of the early boss fights are faster (Mallow does more damage with Shocker and the bosses have less HP) and a lot of the later boss fights are safer/faster (Dark is used far less) Most boss fights yield 1 exp, which saves a ton of time skipping the level up screen. There's one fight near the end that gives thousands of experience and takes a few minutes to get through the level up sequence for, but it's much faster to do it all at once than spread out through the game.

It's Official - Xion Defeated!
Doomsday31415 replied to Fein-Life's topic in Super Mario RPG: Armageddon
Nice! Even more impressive is the fact you did it while missing over 300 max HP! Thanks for the shoutout, and welcome to the Xion club! -
The World Record for this is now faster* than LackAttack's time at SGDQ 2016!

I improved a bunch of the routing from the previous Dark Star route, did things significantly faster, and managed to get a time of 3:03:57! Check it out: *Including credits, which adds about 11 and a half minutes in vanilla. -

This was with one of the betas for v8, which you can find in the downloads section. -
Good luck! No amount of strategy will save you from Xion if you can't block her attacks... And you're welcome
-
Considering Rosalina is entirely strategy, and you saw exactly how to do it, it's not surprising you were able to win. She is the hardest boss., though, so grats all the same. Galaxy items, specifically Galaxy Rings, will help you survive Xion. I farmed coins using the Master.

[Request] Patch for vanilla SMRPG ROM that allows switching out Mario?
Doomsday31415 replied to wad11656's topic in Super Mario RPG: Armageddon
Switching out Mario is dependent on the rom, since certain events get broken by the change. So the patch would need to be made specifically for vanilla. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the changes are, so your only chance is to check with DK and hope he has the changes written down somewhere. -
It's relatively small, but the superboss armors do have different stats in v8.
-
Boss rush is basically post Smithy, so it would be an even longer run. As far as rules, it's what you would expect: no emulator features.
-
A lot of bosses use certain attacks after a set number of turns. Rosalina is no exception. I used speed bracer on Mario because it maximized my chances of success.
-
Crystal Rings are probably the way to go. They provide the status protection while Lazy Shell/Nova Armor/Rainbow Robe protect against the elements.
-
Schala's Ring gives one character invincibility. On the 10th use, it gives everyone invincibility and disappears forever. You can't get it back due to a bug. Nova Armor is the male counterpart to the Rainbow Robe. Super Suit and Brave Suit don't matter to you at this point. Every point of defense makes a massive difference. Have you beaten May and Dawn? You'll want their rewards before doing the FF boss rush...
-
You can always use Celebi to keep Peach invincible for a little while. Schala's Ring is very useful for this as well. I don't have a video for beating Terra, since I didn't feel she was that hard compared to the others.
-
No, she has 10 lives. However, if you don't defeat her fast enough, she'll heal them back indefinitely.
-
The latter. Like I said, one life is restored every time Terra uses Riot Blade, up to the maximum of 10.
-
I believe her max lives are 10. By the way, Crystal Stars also heals a life. Max lives for THAT fight is 10.
-
Every time Riot Blade gets used, Terra heals a life. If you didn't know, a life is 30,000 HP.
-
All four of the pokemon Dawn is referring to can be found in Nimbus Land. Since you already have Celebi, Latias and Latios are the only others you're missing. You don't. The Ultima Weapon is Mario's strongest weapon except for the weapon you get for beating boss rush.
-
You can get additional Found Illusions in the Sunken Ship with Rin Kagemine, Lin Kagemine, and Luka Megurine. Beyond that, you can defeat Larxene to get infinite Found Illusions.
