I wanted to ask a few questions about the run as it catched my interest. First and foremost, why is Ps2 FDS banned? Furthermore, as that is usually something that is allowed: Which version is the one that is used for runs?
What Capture Card do you have? If it is the Elgato Game Capture HD it works. I think it only does not work with Elgato Game Capture HD60
Because emulators are way to inacurate. Depending on how good your pc is load times are faster or slower. As for the game, it's not expensive in general. You can find it for >10 bucks.
After he forms the bubble he will fly away. You prevent it by hitting him. Once he flies away he can be staggered which is harder on ps4 due to 60 fps. I believe he moves around twice as fast. There is no real visual cue for it and a lot of people have different strats for this. Some people count in their head, some people have a feeling for the timing, other ones use an audio cue and I personally use a set of combos. But like I said, he get's staggered if you hit him while he is moving, so you just have to get used to the timing.
Basically yes, you need a timer on screen that is not the Ps4 Internal stream timer. Something like LiveSplit for example. Otherwise the run will not be able to be verified.
I am often talking about thie with people but it is not worth going for Air Combos if you can't make it 100% of the time. Ground combos are not a lot slower and I believe no current runner of KHFM actually goes for them as they can go wrong easily.
I mean, it is basically the hardest difficulty, what did you expect :D
Wait, the AP doesn't matter, you start with 3 no matter what you drop as long as you pick staff. But you drop the shield usually.
You go Staff and remove Shield. Difference is that stats don't matter but you get 2 extra AP for removing Shield and 1 extra MP for picking Staff. As we stay level 1, Strengh and Defense don't matter one bit :D
Don't try the jump combo as for that you would need a lot of experience in the speedrun. It saves time, but only if done correctly. The ground combo is easier to do. However, Anti Sora in general is a hard fight, getting the right timing is pretty hard, especially as a new runner. You will not be able to control Donald or Goofy, so they are disturbing factors as well. If you are new to the game you should probably not spend to much time getting Anti Sora fast, just try to start the loop a few times in a fight and you are fine for now. BTrues Tutorial proposes a good strat and probably the easiest one to do, but it isn't easy in general either way.
You can go ahead and submit it, nobody will stop you. Like Bublo said, we all started somewhere with higher times and we progressively got better. I would submit it just so you can look back at it at some point to see where you started :D
Discord link if anyone ever decides to run this.
I think it wouldn't be a bad idea especially as a few people have been doing runs at that a while ago. Especially as the Gameplay changes a lot it might be pretty interesting to look at.
The invitation seems to be expired Or is it for Staff only?
Is it still possible to submit a run?
We do have a discord, I will ask for a link and post it in here soon.
In terms of Any% guide: The best way would be to hunt down the YouTube channels of the top runners like Smartkin and BetaM and see if they have any strat videos, which should be very likely. You will see how most of the skips work with those.
To be able to submit your runs you HAVE to run on console, all emulators are banned due to inconsistency in loading times for example and inaccuracy in general. You can use an emulator for practice to get a general idea of the skips, I personally wouldn't recommend it though as it felt different for me. If you decide to run this game on console I would recommend you to get either the NTSC 2.0 version or PAL for Ps2 or either for XBox, but you can learn more about that on smartkins 100% guide.
Will be included, don't worry Right now nobody submitted a pc run and people are still working on a load remover
It's because you get the Aero spell from him which can save your live in the final fights
