Another fairly stylish fight, mostly because Limit Form exists.
This is actually the first time I've ever, EVER used Ragnarok. I mean Infinity. I mean Ragnarok. Everyone always uses Ars when they use Limit Form, and I wanted to be different.
Or maybe that's just in Data Org speedruns. I admit the particular subset of people I watch play this game tends towards the optimal play/efficiency side of things.
You probably noticed that I skipped Pride Lands, or at least didn't finish it (I'm using Circle of Life, so there's that). We're coming back for that later once I have (at least) Reflera and Magnera because I hate the Hyenas fight.
Attempts: 2 because I accidentally hit X and had to die on purpose
Difficulty: ACCESS APPROVED/10
Accidental X button presses so far: 2
FAQ:
Q: Why aren't you using the X Button?
A: To force myself to play differently and examine other options the game gives me.
Q: Why not Level 1 No X Button?
A: I'm not confident I'd even finish the run anytime soon. Also, I'd rather show something that most players could conceivably do without tearing their hair out.
Q: If it's not Level 1, can't you just grind to take away all the challenge?
A: Nope. I'm capping my level at the lowest displayed level of any incomplete world. I will also be fighting Absent Silhouettes at the appropriate battle levels. Except Zexion. Frick Zexion.
Q: But you used the X button shortcut!
A: Damn right I did. I'm restricting myself enough by disallowing the X button. It's really more of a "No Command Menu" run anyway. No X Button just sounds cooler, even though strictly speaking it limits me less.
Q: Which bosses are impossible without the X button?
A: As of right now, Twilight Thorn, Axel I, Boat Pete, Luxord, and Data Luxord are all impossible without the X Button.
This challenge run was inspired by Pannenkoek's A Button Challenge in Super Mario 64. Go check him out if you like that game!
