Saga Frontier All Characters No Saves Part 2 (6:22:17 completion)
16This is part two of a single-segment speed run of all characters of Saga Frontier completed in 6 hours 22 minutes and 17 seconds.
Riki Part 2:
Unplanned Battle Count: 2
As I want Sei to be a Skullasaurus, the unplanned battles here are more or less necessary.
The Master Ring battle is considerably faster than the one in my previous run. Still, it is suboptimal.
Blue
Unplanned Battle Count: 0
The new Blue route, which includes usage of the Junk Shop is courtesy of みけぽん. It is not the fastest route, but it is fairly stable. And it's faster than the one used in my old run. Really, the two annoying things here are getting the WarlordArmor from the Junk Shop, and the fact that Rouge's QUI is not high enough to guarantee that he acts before the reptillian form of Hell'sLord. The latter is only an issue if the first EnergyChain is affected by the Heavenly Peace Divisor, but if it is, there will be a chance, a small chance, that Hell'sLord will act before Rouge during the subsequent turn. If this happens, the run will end. I've experienced this a few times.
Red Part 1:
Unplanned Battle Count: 13
Most of the changes in Red's chapter are fairly subtle changes in movement and menu manipulation.
I made the decision during the run to avoid getting the VitalityRune for Shuzer. I did this as I had already accepted five unplanned battles en route to Koorong. If Shuzer had acted first, then this attempt would have failed as well. Also I got the BlueFighter encounter in the Backstreets; if I had gone to Devin it's possible that I would have not encountered it. The short of this is that I probably should have gotten the VitaltiyRune.
By the way there is a way to dodge the YellowFighter X 3 battle in Shingrow. However, it's very difficult, and worst of all if you manage to do it, Red will spend the rest of the run as at most a faint gray/black circle, and on some screens there will appear to be no trace of Red at all. Cosidering the difficulty, and considering that dodging enemies becomes even more difficult, I don't do this. I don't even practice or attempt this. This probably makes me lazy, but oh well.
