but very few people actually run w/ gamepad viewer, which would actually let people see the angle 😠

#

I don't think so

#

just spam A instead of space

#

and then switch back to keyboard after the like

first or second roll

alright, put in the message to the artist

how did you do that on current patch GGs man

blazing forum
#

tbf that's with old AS

#

still impressive af

calm peak
#

I'm pretty sure it's still wr tho

#

I haven't gotten a better time

blazing forum
#

It's 5s faster than hjarl's 1:10 submitted run

#

and ~55s faster than talones

#

I believe all three are old AS

calm peak
#

Also I have not been able to do follower skip on downpatch is it just skill issues

blazing forum
#

yeah it is

#

lol

calm peak
#

I guess I got em skill issues

blazing forum
#

I'm going to go through and verify the top 3 runs submitted I think

#

assuming something else doesn't come up

calm peak
#

got it prev like solid 60% of the time but haven't gotten it on like the last 5 runs

#

gl

#

the new AS adds like 6 min so getting a sub 1:10 is almost impossible

#

nope that was old AS

#

ahh

#

yea maybe

#

just isn't on the board yet

#

now it's time to start running again

#

I started to run the game today and I got a bug, after defeating Leshy the ads didn't despawn and attacked me during the boss death cutscene, does that happen a lot ? :')

blazing forum
#

I haven't had that yet

#

I've had a couple of things where beating a room too fast kept other hitboxes active and broke my golden fleece though

never in a boss room yet, thankfully

I might stop running very hard and run easy like a normal human being

#

cause fuck me

#

you can tell by my splits how far I even make it into a run

verbal violet
#

The reason I was curious about individual area NG+ runs btw is because of the in game time that it gives you after you complete an expedition

blazing forum

#

is there a higher chance of spider dude selling you elderly/afflicted followers in vhard btw?

#

cause I swear I keep seeing more oldies than on easy

good best splits dont amount to much if ya cant string together a whole run

I got them skill issues

Love it when it happens during a speedrun

shouldn't any% glitchless be its own category

deciding if I want a spider or a leg emote for shamura

dividing 100% into glitched and glitchless and potential other categories doesn't feel right

Hey all, recently we seperated runs into Any% and NMG, but due to speedrun.com being iffy, the runs can't be seen. if you're run has be accepted. please tell us in the forum and we'll put it in the appropriate category.

I love hammer in silk cradle, not so much in anchordeep

modest stratus
# wheat trout but tell me how to go ab this

we start at same time, turn off reset on autosplitter in case of a softlock, if you do encounter a softlock we encourage you to keep going. first person to beat the game wins. we go by Any% rules. you can setup a prior easy save to use

NMG is harder imo

#

you have to play w/o fleece for longer

verbal violet
#

Yea but I don't have to break the game

blazing forum
#

but i mean

#

speedrun whatever you want

hearty vapor
#

without fleece for longer = less stressing about losing fleece stacks

blazing forum
#

don't speedrun for anyone other than yourself

#

lmao

#

got the difficulty select icon

verbal violet
#

Any% NMG gets fleece still tho? I really would've thought I'd just be faster to slash through everything

wheat trout
#

wasnt there a site where you could watch twitch streams side by side

fleece makes it easier to slash through bosses

@wheat trout i dont know if someone answered you but we have the values on how things scale between difficulties and followers literally age faster on higher difficulties.

#

Also on the matter spliting 100% between glitchless and glitched.

I dont think glitches help. Far as i know the only glitch any% uses is for getting to Midas early and sacrificing 4 followers to him really hurts devotion generation. Now if theres a glitch to declare multiple doctrines at once, that would be extremely helpful we could get inspire and resurrection on day 3 and 4 that would be huge. Honestly just getting more doctrines earlier is helpful

yea i dont think we need a nmg 100%

not now

wheat trout
#

SHIT FUCK IM MISSING FOLLOWERS

#

done

#

im so sad i was on 17 followers so I had to do a witness run

#

was at like 1 hour twenty something

livid basin
#

If you had all followers, it would have been about 1:27:00

#

if you had to indoctrinate all

#

I takes about 4-5mins to do

wheat trout
#

yeup

#

well at least it feels good to finally have some splits on there

thx for the race guys

it's 3 am on the dot so gnite xd

played so baaaad

softlocked on temple and i had to exit but autosplitter resetted my time

was 10 minutes ahead of u in real time

livid basin
#

I suggest turning off auto resets

blazing forum

hearty vapor
#

well usually im not continuing a run after softlocking xd

blazing forum
#

that's part of the point of racing tho ;P

#

esp. if it was that early

wheat trout
#

#

hey wait this is with new autosplitter tho

#

so these runs arent that bad??

blazing forum
#

basically subtract 5m or so

#

for me it was just about getting splits to compare to next time

wheat trout
#

for race runs thats pretty zesty

Technically stuff like hunger/sickness don't affect followers you haven't indoctrinated until they are unless they are either already sick to begin with or still have some "stacks" from Heket/Kallamar's events that give you hunger/sickness.

Makin tuna salad rn tho

modest stratus
blazing forum
#

ok, done making the salad & cleaning up

#

I do darkwood -> silk cradle -> anchordeep -> anura

#

atm

#

used to do darkwood -> anura -> silk cradle -> anchordeep

#

apparently doing silk cradle early eliminates some cutscenes, and you actually don't need to do anything for your followers because you don't need to feed them lol

#

and they don't die from sick

I had a question in the mod channel that pertained to that

sorry guys lol

autumn niche

I almost died in every boss fight lol

buoyant granite
#

@autumn niche are you gonna keep running current patch or will you downgrade or some combination of both?

buoyant granite
blazing forum
#

I mean, i don't see why not.

buoyant granite
#

OK cool

#

Also also is my submission with a stream layout an issue for verification cause the game isn't fullscreen?

blazing forum
#

That's not something I can attest to. If we continue to do manual retiming, then no. If we only use the script, then yes. If we actually trust the autosplitter (assuming this is the new one) then no.

#

etc

#

I would assume we would just manually retime if we continue retiming

autumn niche
#

Might be running 1.0.11 till I get close to 1:10 again and then I'll resume running current patch

buoyant granite
blazing forum
#

again, idk.

autumn niche
#

Maybe I'll try running on both auto splitters tomorrow

buoyant granite
#

That's mad

#

Cause assuming you had done that exact same run on downpatch it would've probs been like a 1:08 right?

how is that monka

however

u forget that im shit

blazing forum
#

see I mean

#

theres your problem

little willow
#

yeah but

#

idk

blazing forum
#

my original route had silk cradle 1 with the guaranteed hammer and omg it was so easy

#

literally 2 shot boss every time

little willow
#

doctor just gave me a prescription for skill issue

#

im p sure last night i did silk cradle first actually

#

i got hard clapped in anchordeep tho

#

which was the last one i did iirc

blazing forum
#

you literally have to do up to DW3

#

so unless you did like DW3 -> SC

little willow
#

no i did DW fully

#

then SC

blazing forum
#

i mean that's the current route

little willow
#

so like DW3-Goldfleece-DW4-Silk Cradle

blazing forum
#

DW, SC, AD, A

little willow
#

o

#

i did AD 4th

halcyon grove
#

why do people say A instead of AN

blazing forum
#

good question

#

because it's one word

#

whereas the rest are 2

little willow
#

i assumed A was Amura

blazing forum
#

it is

halcyon grove
#

it is

little willow
#

why the fk would we says AN then LMAO

blazing forum
#

it's anura

#

not amura

little willow
#

see

halcyon grove
#

consist'ency

little willow
#

again

#

🙂

blazing forum
#

lol

little willow
#

i thought it was amura lol

#

ANY CASE

#

i did aNura 3rd

blazing forum
#

i mean

#

amurica

little willow
#

maybe i should try to do it last

#

see if that helps

#

also i need to fucking take a chill

#

im being so fking aggro stupid shit hits me

#

also random complaint, any mob that flies at u and has a small red arrow towards their location they will fly

#

am i the only one who have a hard time seeing the arrow

halcyon grove
#

they always fly at your position so i dont use the arrow

little willow
#

so ur staring at them or trying to take them out first?

#

cus i feel like i can get confus when im in a big arena and they just chill on the side into randomly flying at me

halcyon grove
#

i just am always moving

little willow
#

dodging i would assume

halcyon grove
#

yeah

little willow
#

but even then sometimes they've hit me

#

are u capped at 60 fps?

halcyon grove
#

no

little willow
#

hm

halcyon grove
#

i just suck

little willow
#

i mean same

#

i am wondering if 60 fps will make the game "easier"

#

since enemies will move "slower"

halcyon grove
#

i dont cap at all

little willow
#

like toad boss for example, his tounge might actually have a small indicator for when he does it

#

or the 4 armed boss which i cant remember the name of

#

Kammura?

halcyon grove
#

kallimar

little willow
#

close?

blazing forum
#

like calimari

halcyon grove
#

shammura is the spider one

blazing forum
#

the food

little willow
#

AH

#

i fking

#

mixed them

halcyon grove
#

heket is the toad

#

and leshy is the forest guy

blazing forum
#

wormy boi

little willow
#

Hekets tounge attack and Kallimars melee attacks

#

are fkign stupid

halcyon grove
#

i always saw him as a tree

little willow
#

Leshy is free af lol

halcyon grove
#

yeah

blazing forum
#

he's supposed to be ;P

little willow
#

well

halcyon grove
#

so is shammura if you have hammer + decent gf

little willow
#

the game ramps up

#

so much after Leshy

blazing forum
#

heket doesn't bother me at all, but most of my runs die either somewhere before shamura (I've yet to lose to shamura lol) or on army boi

little willow
#

fk army boi

#

all my homies hate Kallimar

halcyon grove
#

satan Kallimar fucking sucks

blazing forum
#

nah, satan has THE BEST soundtrack

#

esp. phase 2

halcyon grove
#

TRUE

#

why does hell sound so good

little willow
#

TRUE

#

has no right going that hard

halcyon grove
#

start a cult is fire too

#

same with the credits song

little willow
#

but i still want there to be a god damn indicator of when they attack, both Heket for his tounge lash and Kallimar for his melees like dagger

halcyon grove
#

i think heket has an indicator but it appears for barely any time

little willow
#

hence why i think 60fps might be better for practice/learning

#

cus i think the game is a LOT faster enemy wise on uncapped

#

like i havent checked how much fps i get but i would imagine over 200

halcyon grove
#

yeah

#

i play on lowest graphics settings for max fps so probably

little willow
#

lmao

halcyon grove
#

and since obs stutters my game so much (thanks linux) i have to use another recording software

little willow
#

do u have limit capture framerate on?

halcyon grove
#

i dont know

little willow
#

hang on

#

basically on ur ingame properties there's that little box saying limit capture framerate

blazing forum
#

imagine having to limit capture rate

little willow
#

if ur fps is too high then obs will stutter with some games

blazing forum
#

ingame properties just say max framerate

#

which tbh you could set to 60 and be fine

#

I run at 300 fight me

little willow
#

ur crazy

blazing forum
#

I have a 3070ti lol

little willow
#

so do i

#

LMAO

#

doesnt mean i wanna BONK my recordings :((

#

again tho, it's different from game to game

blazing forum
#

with a 5800X cpu

halcyon grove
#

bruh i have gtx1070ti my gpu sucks lol

little willow
#

like when i ran RE7

#

if i didnt have limit capture framerate on it would stutter the fk outta the recording

blazing forum
#

if your shit is stuttering recording its because you're running out of a resource, in general

#

if your computer is trying to do something at 300 fps but runs out of cpu/gpu/memory, it stutters

#

part of the reason why limiting your game's framerate is good

#

I usually limit mine to my monitor's 144hz, but CotL doesn't let me so I leave it uncapped

#

obs shouldn't randomly stutter unless your pc can't handle it

little willow
#

so ur telling me

#

my pc is shit now

#

first u say im shit

#

now im pc

#

the audacity

blazing forum
#

no?

little willow
#

im joking c:

blazing forum
#

I had a 1660 and I had to constantly limit my games

#

it's good practice to anyway, gives longer lifespan to gpu

#

also check what fps you're recording at

little willow
#

60

#

p sure

#

yah just checked 60 c:

halcyon grove
#

i play like only 5 very un intensive games, will i be fine?

blazing forum
#

Try to limit your other stuff to 60 then

#

in CotL?

#

CotL has super low specs lol

little willow
#

u want me to limit CotL to 60?

#

or u mean other stuff in obs

blazing forum
#

both

little willow
#

yeah cus OBS is

halcyon grove
#

to give perspective cotl is my second highest intensive game i consistently play

little willow
#

i'll try with 60 on CotL like i said, but that's mostly to make it "easier" see if that works lmao

owo race??

little willow
#

Race when 👀

#

Ah like 12 hours from now I’m probably asleep then lmao

little crest
#

man i wish i could join

#

theres a very slim chance i could but im moving to thailand and i packed up my desktop tonight

#

i could maybe configure everything on my laptop

#

ill give it a shot either way

little crest
#

bc if not, that time has already passed

buoyant granite
#

yes pm haha

little crest
#

havent finished a run yet but theres no time like a race lol

little willow
#

having races is always so much fun

little crest
#

yeah i participated in a few when i speedran undertale

little willow
#

surely wont be the last c:

little crest
#

rly good way to improve

#

competition can bring out the best

little willow
#

also incentivises people not resetting

#

which is something a lot of people do early game if they go like +10 early game

#

but maybe have insane golds later they just dont know about LUL

little crest
#

i think considering the state of the game rn, its very possible a new wr is achieved

little willow
#

i honestly hate talking about wr's as absolutes this early when the timing method just got agreed upon yesterday LUL

#

but i completely agree with u c:

little crest
#

also idk if this is something the dev team would be willing to do/share but wouldnt it be way easier to downpatch to the version with uncapped damage if they provided a beta for it on steam?

#

or a beta code

little willow
#

yeah it definetly would

#

it's not super bad to downpatch tho

#

but it would be for sure easier with beta key

little crest
#

yeah its just kind of annoying and could def be a roadblock for new ppl looking to do a run

little willow
#

also something i was wondering was how amazing it would be if he were able to actually pick our weapon at every crusade start

little crest
#

for example, the process of getting the right version of undertale to do the most optimal runs is super complicated that it turns a ton of ppl away

little willow
#

like imagine having sword every crusade nicopoggers

#

ah it's not so bad here actually, u just get the download depot and use the console command once

#

then u have the downpatch

little crest
#

yeah ive done it

#

it would be very intimidating for someone who doesnt know what theyre doing

little willow
#

yaeh i can see that be a thing

little crest
#

for UT, u have to download a beta, delete a few files, and then edit the source code with a hex editor lmao

little willow
#

i mean it was hoenstly a thing for me when i was introduced to DS3

#

dark souls 3*

#

oh wow that seems

#

super annoying for a new person

#

unless there's a tutorial video

little crest
#

its only one piece of data u have to edit

#

the reason being is that the most optimal version is linux 1.001

little willow
#

yah but stuff like that is enough for some people at least to be liek "ah i cant be arsed"

little crest
#

and u have to do that to make it playable on windows

#

linux 1.001 undertale allows for both z and enter + x and shift to be used at the same time

#

makes text mashing way faster

little willow
#

uh

#

why not just make a hotkey for it c:

#

if that's the only thing

little crest
#

that would be disingenous

#

its part of the run

#

making a hotkey would remove it from the run

little willow
#

it's part of the run to mash 3 buttons instead of holding a button?

little crest
#

text mashing is a key skill component in running undertale

little willow
#

i havent played it

#

so idk how it would be

little crest
#

its a story based game with thousands of text boxes

little willow
#

right

#

but are there different choices u have to make?

#

in that case i get it

little crest
#

x or shift skips to the end of a text box and z or enter confirms it to go to the next one

#

yes there are choicers

little willow
#

i know Mass Effect runs have macros for text at least

#

and they have choices too

little crest
#

there are 93 different possible endings to UT

#

so making the fastest choices is part of the run

little willow
#

yeah like i said, mass effect runs are the same

little crest
#

didnt say they werent

little willow
#

but i mean those are the rules, then they are the rules c:

#

yeye it's just difference of opinions, nothing wrong with that ❤️

little crest
#

to me its like if you made a script that automatically hits enemies whe u get in range for cult of the lamb

#

that takes out a key part of the run

little willow
#

yeah so that's where i disagree completely

#

cus it's not making the correct decisions for u

#

it's just skipping the text boxes u have to look at anyways

#

then u can use manual mashing when u get close to the choices u have to make

#

if that makes sense?

#

that's how it's used in Mass Effect at least, they use the hotkey for places where it's legit just a bunch of convo and no options but manually click when it's choices that save time etc

little crest
#

i would say u should watch an undertale run bc it fits into the run in a very different way

little willow
#

yah it might be

little crest
#

when ur not mashing through dialogue, there is constant movement

#

the transition from movement, fights, dialogue, exploits

#

is all part of the difficulty

little willow
#

actually curious im gonna watch one now LUL

little crest
#

and oftentimes the text is part of the exploit

#

text overflows make up like 80% of the skips and glitches

#

using an in game item called the punch card

little willow
#

im watching the wr run

little crest
#

link has the wr right?

#

mrlink2k

#

cant remember if its shayy or link

little willow
#

does this runner have the buttons over and below the buttons he's pressing taken out?

#

yeah it's link

little crest
#

looks like it yeah

little willow
#

lmfao

little crest
#

like i said, mashing is taken very seriously lol

#

ppl practice it for hours a day

#

and theres multiple different strats used

little willow
#

yeah i can see why autohotkeys will never happen LOL

little crest
#

theres a built in thing in deltarune thats used

#

so mashing is irrelevant

#

but not in ut

little willow
#

are encounters rng?

little crest
#

some are

#

some are scripted

little willow
#

cus they were talking about having slow reactions

little crest
#

its not as relevant in any% as it is in geno

little willow
#

in an encounter i didnt see KEKW

little crest
#

best rng compared to worst rng would make like 2 min time difference in the entire run

#

but usually it wont be that drastic

#

where in geno it could be like 20 minutes

little willow
#

l o l

little crest
#

the first bossfight also has a ton of rng in it

#

certain attacks are way faster

#

so when he talks about hands thats what he means

lucid gate
#

Hello!

little willow
#

Toriel?

#

hi slash c:

little crest
#

hands are the fastest

#

ye toriel

little willow
#

yeh saw someone in chat say "will we get hands now, Toriel"

little crest
#

yeah lol

little willow
#

"hands modcheck" LUL

little crest
#

basically if u get a hand and run into it, it skips directly to ur next turn

little willow
#

i think they got hands lol

little crest
#

well it doesnt matter if u get them at all

#

it matters how many times

#

7 hands is the best

little willow
#

WOW THEY HAVE A 9 SECOND GOLD THERE

#

on like first slpit

#

monka rng

little crest
#

thats insanely good for ruins

little willow
#

no i mean their best time could be -9

little crest
#

and yeah ruins is the most reset and rng heavy part of the run

little willow
#

they get -3.5

little crest
#

things actually get exciting when they get to waterfall

little willow
#

very interesting run

little crest
#

thats where u pick up the punchcard and start skipping through the entire game

little willow
#

i would never run it myself for sure

#

but it looks very fun to watch

little crest
#

yeah ive been in the utsr community for the better part of 5 yrs

#

currently in the process of making a "history of undertale any% wrs" video

little willow
#

that's dope!

little crest
#

very time consuming

#

been 6 months in the works and ive only just finished with research lmao

#

theres so much to go over

#

not to mention over 100 hours of wr footage to watch through

#

but itll be worth it

#

and yeah if ur wondering why they keep dying to papyrus, its faster to die 3x in a row than actually beat him lol

little willow
#

lol

little crest
#

and each time they bring up the punchcard on screen to use it for an exploit, its frame perfect

little willow
#

my god lol

little crest
#

albeit on 30fps

#

but still

little willow
#

frame perfect is still frame perfect

little crest
#

well

#

frame prfect on 30 is half as hard

#

but yeah lmoa

little willow
#

easier on 30 obviously

#

but it's still not easy lol

little crest
#

yeah

#

it does get pretty consistent with practice

little willow
#

yeah i could imagine it's a timing thing that just get's under ur skin after a while

little crest
#

yeah

little willow
#

like it just becomes second nature

little crest
#

the other important thing to not is that when they get to asgore

#

a perfect hit is considered a quad

#

which means they hit right on the marker 4 times and did the most damage

little willow
#

like quad dmg?

little crest
#

just bc u hit it 4 times

#

quad hit

little willow
#

huh interesting

little crest
#

each hit in the middle is 30fps frame perfect

little willow
#

lolol

little crest
#

and the perfect asgore (TASgore as its referred to) is 9 perfect turns with 4 hits each

#

meaning 36 frame perfects in a row

#

its been done like 3 times

#

theres a practice mod for practicing asgore fights and link holds the wr for the most quads in a row

#

he hit over 100 frame perfects in a row

#

guys cracked

little willow
#

lololol

wheat trout
#

nvm 7pm est is 2 am here xdd

#

wont make it

rancid dust
narrow snow
#

Yeah 100% looks to be a 7 hour run. I hit 7 hours still have like 6 divine inspiration to get and the silk cradle witness eye.

Fortunately thats RTA on switch and i suck at crusades so i dont use golden fleece. There’s huge room for improvement over this time.

sudden nacelle
#

And waiting for the day when Knucklebones becomes a category, I am ready to submit runs

narrow snow
#

Yeah easy. I dont even want to think about starting an extra hard since everything happens faster

hearty vapor
#

i think i'll quit speedrunning for now, no point when i have to roll a dice each run and if it lands on 6 my graphics card driver will crash an hour in

modest stratus

I usually don't feel comfortable joining races/tournaments that I run unless I need to for numbers reasons, so if we get enough people I'll stream it instead 👀

modest stratus

Right now it's downpatched and using new AS

you can join on livesplit by right clicking, hovering over racetime.gg and joining there

Well nvm I can’t join my if it’s 4:30

modest stratus

Pst?

blazing forum

but 4:00 would work?

modest stratus
#

We can make it ealier or later, we need enough people

wheat trout
#

I can join if it's a tad earlier

blazing forum
#

like 4 or like earlier than that

wheat trout
#

the earlier the better for me, so for now let's say 4 and see if it messes other folks up for not

grim bolt
#

I will participate in the race

#

so eleotan current patch WR hasn't been verified?

#

hey guys, we also require an ASL versioning system :p

wheat trout
#

🥴

grim bolt
#

so we can upload attempts mentioning the game version and the ASL version

#

Someone remind me please the current rules?

blazing forum
#

uh

#

the goal is to see the credits, I don't think there's anything NOT allowed atm (besides editing files or something like that obviously)

grim bolt
#

didn't someone said the time stops on TOWW kneel?

wheat trout
#

new asl does stop it there, aye

blazing forum
#

yeah, time starts the first frame of the first red quote thing at the beginning

little willow
#

yeah i guess just get to the kneeling part asap

blazing forum
#

and ends on clicking kneel

little willow
#

so if u got some hidden op strat oob shenanigans

#

bring it out

grim bolt
#

I have it like this right now, it is good?

blazing forum
#

ye

#

I suggest in a race to turn off the 'reset' thing at the top of the settings

#

in case you get softlocked or something

grim bolt
#

sounds good

little willow
#

surely no one get's softlocked for no reason Clueless

grim bolt
#

hey all, are you up for a call for the race?

wheat trout
#

mates is there any way to cap fps to a specific number, a .ini somewhere or somesuch?

blazing forum
#

I mean stuff like the ratau temple dialog skip lol

#

is just SO easy to softlock on

little willow
#

uhh rivatuner probably @wheat trout ?

warped breach
grim bolt
#

same, it is easy to avoid the softlock

little willow
#

i didnt even know u could skip Rataus dialogue there

#

i got softlocked once by running into temple instantly

modest stratus
little willow
#

lmao

blazing forum
#

for what

little willow
#

what fps were u looking to cap at?

modest stratus
#

Just wanna say, gl to the runners who are participating in the race

wheat trout
#

144 for my refresh rate

little willow
#

ah yeah

#

120 is an option no?

wheat trout
#

game's only got 30 and 60 🥴

#

nope

little willow
#

o right

#

well gl with ur 250 fps then

modest stratus
#

Just turn on vsynx

wheat trout
#

vsync usually comes with input lag

#

i'll try it

grim kayak
#

Have bosses AI been studied yet ? Is there some document with all info ?

for example I'm looking at Shamura's AI in the game code rn and I found odds for each pattern, behaviour depending on its distance to the lamb, etc...

wheat trout
#

afaik theres not much info on stuff like that flying around, so pls do share

grim kayak
wheat trout
#

ur a hero

grim kayak
#

and i'm nowhere near a unity dev or a modder so i'm limited to code reading

blazing forum
#

don't undersell yourself. Stuff like that takes time and dedication lol

#

also, reading other people's code is blerghhhh

grim kayak
#

i've got no complain on this code so far ^^

modest stratus
#

I know bossess first move is the same

grim bolt
#

it's not

#

heket can either jump top for tongue attack, or slam attack on you

grim kayak
grim kayak
#

checking frog

grim bolt
#

Kallamar either summons or danmaku attack

modest stratus
#

Oh

#

Then its just leshy

blazing forum
#

p sure heket also just jumps first

hearty vapor
#

nah heket for sure can either jump forward on you or backward for tongue attack

#

but on kallimar idk, i don't think i've ever seen kallimar not summon at the beginning

blazing forum
#

i mean he always jumps tho 😛

grim kayak
#

Heket has 3 different first patterns, all same odds

#

First pattern : Jump to you anticipating your direction and "burp projectiles"

Second pattern : jump to 'sit position" (I guess that's top of screen) and rapid tongue attack

Third pattern : jump to lamb position (i think?) and "mortar strike targeted" attack

#

I gotta match attack names and what they actually look like in game, names in the code confuse me sometimes 😬

#

I'll stop for now, it's 12:15am for me and I work tomorrow

Nice job btw ! And goodnight mate 🙂

I press start, the timer starts counting down

you press go at 15
