Got it, I'll keep all of this in mind. I requested Sengoku Basara to get the first game's page started but they thought it was the same thing as Devil Kings and denied it :'( ... so I still have to wait on Sceezy or Metaknight. Hopefully they make me series mod soon and I can make the 3 pages for the PS3:HD releases. I will get them started but will make you a mod for the games so that you can edit and such.
Will keep you informed!
Pretty cool to see you two trading info. As soon as Sceezy sees my message, I will be given "series mod" and we can sort out all of the separate games and their platforms. I am solid with moderating Devil Kings but I will give _Zephyr mod in Sengoku Basara and SB:HD to work with those titles. I'll need you to set the categories and rules if you have time, and then verify any runs that are submitted from then on out. Good work on the Individual Levels (IL's) for Devil Kings, Zephyr. I haven't been able to watch all of them from start to finish, but you definitely understand the games nature and play it well. Hoping to see full runs soon!
The only advice I can give with running IL's is to be very aggressive, choose your battles wisely, and retry if the map RNG is against you. Border Patrol is nothing to worry about but fighting an extra army due to inactivity on the map after battles is a set-back in most cases. Some of the worst possible scenarios in these runs involve Q-Ball and Zaan not fighting each other or being inactive, having to fight Orwik and Q-Ball in the same run, losing the opportunity to choose quicker battles (some of these faster battles are against Azure Dragon, Muri, Arslan, Khaz, Reaper, & Lark), and simply having certain armies win over others because of how much faster certain battles are.
When it comes to the Full RTA Runs of Easy%... It involve choosing battles quickly, learn the map and being prepared for all situations/battles that may occur, and avoiding menus completely. I do note that the RTA Timer stops upon FINAL CONQUEST (the FINAL, and the CONQUEST, fly into place and make a small colliding noise. That is the trigger for the split..) It seems silly to split anywhere else considering you're skipping cutscenes and skimming through menus before AND after that moment. (Plus that little Final Conquest screen is NOT skippable at all, and it really does feel amazing splitting there hahah!)
Excited to see your progress with it! Glad to have you on board! \ O /

_zephyr, thank you. You are correct and I have made edits. I would like you to message me via Twitter or Twitch PM. I will ask Sceezy to give me access to moderating the Sengoku Basara series and gladly create a page for SB and SB:HD for you to post all of your work on the games.
Cheers!
Hello, I'm Maxylobes and I am making this thread to encourage people to join me in running this game. To those of you who enjoy it as much as I do, this run is actually pretty interesting.
There are a number of ways to go about running it and I have plenty of research to do before I can make any official routes or back-up routes. My run can easily be improved to Sub-6:00:00 as it is and I haven't quite put in enough work to know which battles to choose in all situations amongst various Army starting land(s), which battles are shortest/longest for specific characters, or even how to fight certain Leaders optimally. Much work is left to be done and I will revisit this every month at least, but I cannot do it alone considering the length of this run at the moment. I don't consider this a super long speedrun, but its long enough for you to fully prepare your mind and body for the hours you will spend concentrating.
If you have any questions about the run, or simply additional info on the game, feel free to ask me! Either tweet me @maxylobes, or message me on Twitch.
