[ACS] How many Barbatos can Asbel and Kohak defeat?
3Filler video - didn't post anything in a while.
Link to an Asbel file which can use A Artes and B Artes at once :

The stage background is the Edge of Madness from Dissidia Final Fantasy, btw. You can get the stage here : http://www.mediafire.com/?837qx89tmtuat6t
It's the "Chaos Dusk" stage. Spam Down-A when the battle starts to choose this background.
This video is similar to a 7x Barbatos battle, except there are only 6, but they resurrect. I wondered how many can a group of 2 characters defeat, and decided to try it with Asbel and Kohak - the two characters I know that can infinite-combo so many foes at once.
Why ALWAYS Barbatos? He's the only boss you can (un)reasonably fight in groups of 6 or 7. Spellcasters will instantly fill the field with spells and make any battle nigh-impossible.
Despite my efforts towards making a Coop Mode where two human players can cooperate, I had to use a CPU for Kohak. Adding characters in Coop Mode takes much, much longer than I anticipated, and only Luke, Guy, Asbel and Yuri have been added. Furthermore, I don't think my friend would endure my pseudo-perfectionism when I record these videos XD so Kohak had to be a CPU.
I made a new AI for her, specifically for this fight. It works pretty well, except I hoped she would spam Sunburn a lot more in Overlimit.
Notable hacks :
- Barbatos has 500 HP instead of 680, CAN use Overlimit, and resurrects upon death with full HP and 1 OVL bar.
- Every time one is defeated, both Asbel and Kohak gain 100 HP and OVL. I had to "code" this in a weird way, so it happens a bit after the Barbatos actually gets KOed.
- The resurrection stops when a certain event happens (see in the video).
- World Destroyer is used as a "normal" attack. It hits for 50, fully blockable, on the ground only, and can be interrupted.
- The new Kohak AI of course.
- I think I found some unused spells for her, such as Fireball, but I'm not sure she used any here.
- Asbel, being human-controlled, has its inputs enormously simplified so that they work despite lag.
- Slightly increased invincibility during Kyokkourenge's start.
- Similar to ArtistOfLegacy's "Style-Shift Free Asbel", he no longer sheathes his sword when hit, and can use A-Artes with his sword out.
- Accel Force replaces Overlimit and Grow Force no longer requires low HP.
Strategy revolves around Asbel and Kohak's infinite combos, except not used forever.
- Kohak can spam Sunburn. Contrary to what I said in earlier videos, she does NOT need OVL Lvl 2. Lvl 1 works fine. Sometimes even with NO Ovl she'll instant-cast it more than the one time its supposed to. It appears Kohak Hearts is above the concept of CC depletion.
Anyway, with so many enemies, Sunburn gives more TP/OVL than it uses, and foes cannot Overlimit in the air. Infinite combo.
- Asbel : Accel Force, Kyokkourenge, Unsheathe, Kyokkourenge, Tenha Jinraidan, Accel Force, repeat.
TJ removes Accel Mode, and you can enter Accel Mode after TJ. Weird but freaking useful when you just got a TP and OVL bar via Kyokkourenge-ing 6-7 foes. Not as guaranteed as Kohak's, but still a theoretical infinite combo.
I also try to help Kohak out. If she's getting her ass handed to her, I rush a Mystic Arte to save her. If she enters Overlimit, I fill the TP bar for her so that she can use Starlight. If her HP is getting low, I immediately blow all my TP on Mystic Artes to kill some Barbies and thus heal both of us.
Unless I finish Hubert within 2 weeks, this will probably be my last video for a while. Summer comes to an end as the end of the world draws near. No, I'm not referring to that 2012 bullshit, but to school.
Good wishes to all.
