Noxus94
Have a look at Final Fantasy VI for example, or Kingdom Hearts II Data-Org
yarnfang
I thinking of SS
yarnfang
If you're allowed to setup and use a file before the run then you can literally beat the game the instant you can save
yarnfang
More or less
yarnfang
Because of this all, that sets up the run has to be done in the run
yarnfang
And every file you use has to be clean
Noxus94
of course the file has to be clean, but you just do a little rng manipulation inside the game's usual mechanics and then start from the very beginning. There is absolutely no need to time that
yarnfang
You mean like, start a file and die. Then quit out and now you will always have X enemy pattern?
yarnfang
I guess that would be fine
yarnfang
Because realistically you could wait on the main menu until the game hit X value to do the same thing
Noxus94
that's what you usually achieve by Pre-RNG-Manipulation, correct. That wouldn't be useful in our case, though, unless we could somehow mess up a lock or something. what I want to achieve is, if we could store a death somehow, to replicate the intro glitch I had :x
yarnfang
Well, storing a death though would be more then RNG manipulation and would require you to set it up on a fresh file in the run.
yarnfang
That is more like what they do in SS... Just not as extreme
Noxus94
it's still just one simple manipulation. Nothing that effects the whole game
yarnfang
It would
Noxus94
how then? Just because we die and skip half of Gaul? Big deal :x
yarnfang
Big deal indeed
yarnfang
Because you're setting up a glitch / trick
Noxus94
yeah, but what? Everyone can use it
yarnfang
All of that would be inside the run
