Are there any glitches or special tricks found since I last touched this game - which is like maybe a year+ ago.. ^^' Thinking about picking it up again, so I'm interested.
Will take a look at Zewing's run soonish.
Ever since I picked up the game from watching your ESA run, the following has been discovered:
- Crafted items carry over to new files.
This is quite huge because using chakra pills increase the attack power of everything, including ultimates (this means 3 connected ultimate w/ food pills = KO).
We don't know the preferred item layout set, but I myself use Explosive tags as they help speed up boss cycles, Destruction Tag cause huge damage / back up strat, Ramen noodles as it allows for less charging, and the biggest food pills (should have 2 of them) that allow for longer duration.
- Chakra Dash into Ultimate abuse.
This was a technique "spammers" who played Ninja Storm 2 online were infamous for when they used the character Shikamaru. This ACTUALLY transfers into a speed run as the same concept gives the AI less time to actually guard. In essence, it makes the run much more consistant. Is it faster, dunno but I rarely failed them in my run.
- Skipping the Secret during boss fights is easier.
I noted this watching Cyberdemon run Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, but it turns out you don't need to press a button for QTE's that have no time limit. Add in getting barely any stars in ones with time limits (try to aim for 2), and you save a movie watch.
Note that certain characters really suc at Chakra dash into Ultimate like Might Guy
Ten-ten actually can't use this abuse as her Ultimate requires more distance between her and the oppenent.
Really sorry for late response, but hopefully this helps you out.
