found new strats for Dorihey which apparently save 0.58 (typical single-segment RNG) and 0.78sec (after reset RNG) over the old ways

long story short, just do the ending charged hook like five times, except randomly he might not give you the hook after disappearing

(on emulator) actually, now that I'm playing around with it, it seems really finicky. maybe okay to do in an IL setting, but pretty risky in a full-game run

got some 13.xx's in a few attempts (previous record was 16.9x)

just kidding, just found the lamest tukikage strat imaginable

got 14.92 on Spokong. probably going to take a break on this game now and just play through random VB games

If Teleroboxer gets in I'll do 999 title defenses lol

Hastily threw together AGDQ submissions: Teleroboxer, Goodboy Galaxy, Amazing Mirror (100%), Innsmouth no Yakata, and Dandy & Randy (w/ Bbforky). If I have time (and I remember), I'll go back and revise the blurbs.

got a 2:12.60 full-game and a 15.16 Spokong today. might go for sub-15 on the latter, but it's a hard fight
2:12.60 IGT on LiveSplit

I can just hear the Summoning Salt video playing

while Spokong starts steaming, you jab to start the second phase as usual, but you can actually buffer a body blow right after. if you got a punch cancel earlier this eliminates all the RNG from the fight

finally got this last IL (-0.28), but it required a new strat. 15 tomorrow lol
16.08 Spokong

16.96 on Tukikage today, found a strat for 9.18 Pagero, and finally figured out the stun meter: only hard hits count of course, but you can cancel them counting to the stun meter by jabbing in a 3-frame window (explains why you have to delay on Pagero and why the Spokong fight sucks lol)

also the credits softlocked lol

still playing with all safe strats for now
2:18.34 IGT in Teleroboxer

No problem, and thank you!
