Whoa! How did Celes do that "Spin Edge" attack at about 43:00 ?

[rogueyoshi]

it's a Desperation Attack. they have a chance of activating when you use attack while you have low HP.

[AkatsukiCentral]

Whoa, 4 hours..

I need to get my snacks and sleeping bags for this video then.

"The goal is to provide entertainment by showing off game glitches and beating the game as fast as possible."

I really hate it that every TAS player forces himself to say that. There is no shame in saying this is a record, or it takes as mucn skill as regular speedruns.

Damn, I hate people who flames in TAS videos =(

@Mortez92 No there's a video on youtube that's over 4 days.

[shadowzero9200]

Haha, nice. He went for the happy celes departure instead of the sad one. Good!

@jeanclaudevandamme definitely not gba sfx. You can tell by the wind sfx. SNES was the only system to have the wind sfx sound like that. PS1 version and gba version had very muddled versions. You can also tell the difference in the wind sound in CT, since it used the same wind sound. SNES CT had different wind sounds than PS1 and DS CT

[jeanclaudevandamme]

Interesting. Graphics and in-game dialogue is SNES. Sound effects are GBA.

@Mortez92 no look up nyan cat 10 hours :D

[Mortez92]

Holy crap, is this the longest video on youtube?

[Aoishi2AL]

You broke the fucking game! Kudos.

It gets confusing. FF1 was released in America and Japan. 2 and 3 were Japan only. 4 was released in Japan, and released in America on the SNES as FF2. We didn't see 5, but 6 was released here as 3. Then came Final Fantasy VII, when they realized how idiotic it was to give us different numbers, and started keeping them the same, and referring to all final fantasies by their Japanese number as they started to port Japan-only games to America (anthologies and portable games).

[superdahoho]

so...I have a question

if FF III is 6 in USA

then what is FF6 in japan?

and what about 4and 6?

so far I only know ff1,2,3 7~current I can't seem to fill in the gap in between

@Clavera

I don't know what happened, but comparing TASers and non-TASers is apples and oranges to me. It doesn't make sense to compare them since they both use skills in different areas, TASers usually being more logic and planning oriented, while non-TASers being more action and foresight oriented.

...Or something like that.
