Skies Of Arcadia Legends Speed Run Segment FINAL (Nothing Is Impossible)

Описание: The final segment: This is what it all has been preparing for.

Ramirez goes down pretty easily, not even getting an attack off until the final turn. I use one of my two remaining Aura of Valors to allow Vyse to Pirate's Wrath every turn. On the first turn I use one Cutlass Fury to negate any healing Ramirez my accrue from Lunar Blessing over the course of the fight.

Zelo's is a very aggressive fight. I spam lots of Gear Grease knowing this is the last fight in which I will need to use any. Sylenis is also important as it cuts out over half of Zelos' attacks and keeps the Delphinus from being inflicted with Driln. Also I make the decision to back away from Zelos on the fourth turn of the fight. This might not seem like the most aggressive or quick action, but doing so sets up an option that allows me to fire the Moonstone Cannon sooner than is possible with the more aggressive options and allows me to finish the fight more quickly.

The final fight: "second verse same as the first". I use the Aura of Valor and use it to sustain me till the end of the fight. I wind up not using the Behemoth's ring that I grabbed earlier in the game to potentially use here, it was still useful though so I don't regret it. There is some difficulty in this segment with Vyse getting hit with destruction and Aika dieing. Aika's death is less of a big deal as it didn't slow down Pirate's Wrath spam and Ramirez still used some of his less dangerous options, for instance he uses Silver Nightmare twice, both times on Aika, the least threatening character possible, other than Fina whom doesn't have any special moves and therefore cannot be inflicted with Silver Nightmare. The game ends and we watch the credits roll with a final time of 10:44. This is timed from the final blow to the final boss, the same as was done in Zyre's run.

Overall I am highly satisfied with this run. Initially improvements were looking slim and I really just wanted a time less than 12 hours but about halfway through the game my early decisions began to pay off in spades and the time saved began to wrack up. Late sub ten hours began to seem feasible but difficult. As I approached the end of the game, not only was it feasible but easily so.

There are some places for minor improvements and overall I believe that a time of about ten minutes faster is possible with the current knowledge of the game, but this game is a monster to speed run and the luck required is substantial and for those willing to try I say, "Have fun beating my luck in Valua".

Also to close things out I would like to thank:

-Amazing Ampharos: for all his help planning the run.
-Zyre: for his previous run and all the information it provided.
-My friends for putting up with me while I spent months like a hermit in my room playing this game.
Sega and Overworks for making Skies of Arcadia
And the Moons that it is finally over.
