    Not every sense. I mean dudes immortal.

    Phenomenal work Irysa. Loved following this.

    Nice find.

    Looking good! This might come across as snarky, when my intention is the opposite; but impressed by the level of planning that is still going into clears at this point in the game. By now in a any% run I'd somewhat assumed you'd be able to get to the ending in a few days, with maps just becoming warp-skips and that's it. But the amount of effort you're putting into optimising every detail, achieving lots of side objectives in every single turn is a joy to behold. Ha... I've noticed you're all but apologizing in the last few updates for taking awhile, but don't sweat it; they're well worth the wait.

    Melth did on his LP run on Something Awful didn't he? It was hardly LTC of course. Some questionable choices like support grinding with Alan/Lance in Chapter 1. But I believe that was more of a demonstration that 6's requirements are far more lax than 7's, having just come off that S rank HHM LP you're aware of. edit; just did a quick scan through it and he says he's playing san arenas, as they make the game too easy/boring. It is more an LP than a superplay after all. Thread is here fyi (hope the paywall isn't up at time of posting!); http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3716259&pagenumber=1 Ended up with 67840exp out of a needed 50100. Includes fun numbers such as Wolt at 1468 exp and Sophia at 1900. Wendy even gets some! So yeah, hardly an optimised run in any way, but hope it helps in someway. Fair warning; he clearly went into the run being lukewarm at best to FE6, and all but loathes it by the end, and it clearly shows in his posts as the thread goes on, so keep that in mind if you were considering reading through.

    I take it, it will be at 'lraven17' on twitch? Can't say I'll be there due time zones and the like, but I'll definitely be catching up on it if I'm not.

    'Having some (Wind) tomes to just blow on some enemies' was a just awful pun and you should feel bad.

    To put into perspective, at this level of play anyway, how free the Funds rank is; DD151 in his 0% growths run prior to his Boots and Stat-upers bulk buying shopping trip had 164035g and the required needed for an A rank, assuming true end, is 84000g. So just shy of having double the requirement. So as far as I can see, Funds in Ranked play just limits your boots number. And that might not even be much of a issue as in the extra turns spent fighting needed to give you the 50100exp you need, could also provide extra turns selling things off with the silver card that strict LTC does not allow. (Which as in FE6 items are only worth half their worth when calculating Rank unlike FE7 is somewhat more important anyway)

    What turn counts did the TAS get anyway? In the back of my mind I thought you had done that on another chapter already, but I cant seem to find a list to compare and check to yours.

    Looks neat; but for your Max Tactician Star run you going to be alright later on with out the trips to the shops? Or can you sort all that out on the trip to Laus?
  11. Paused
    Scrapping through with just 6exp over the target. These updates must take so much time to optimise.

    Desert maps continue to find new ways to annoy players.

    Also surprised that, along with all your other goals you have to juggle, supports are even on the table. I mean I had guessed Eli/Hector would be picked up at some point as that one all but unlocks itself. But I would never have thought you'd have an opportunity to even consider Dorcas/Oswin of all people, even on a Survival map.

    Looking good. One minor typo; your end of map character stats lists Oswin as at Base still, while he actually leveled.(on your penultimate screenshot)

    Man, Marcus is putting in a lot more work than I expected for a ranked run; not bad for the old man. Amazing how close you are to your limits with your requirements while hitting lowest turn counts. 7exp is not alot of breathing room.

    Personally, as someone more interested in seeing what is possible to squeeze out of the in game rankings in an ideal setting, I have no issue with the rigging at all. Whilst obviously LTC isn't included in Max Stars, it does seem to fit as a secondary goal. In my eyes, accepting what the RNG gives you is just out of the window with this playthrough anyway. It's not a 'how many stars can I get whilst playing by the rules run.' Both the crit manip for Chapter 2 and Mine abuse for Guys chapter prove that. If you can also minimize turns, one of the most respected goals of the community afaik, I'd say go for it. I mean there is a difference between; 'I abused the game mechanics to get theoretical max', and 'I got a S Rank by abusing save states!'

    Very nice. Great optimisation.

    Paywall has gone up. There is a cycle where every so often parts of the SA forums become restricted to non members in order to draw people into buying an account. The paywall will be gone eventually, though it could be awhile; at least a few weeks I'd imagine. Outside of paying the $10, you'll just have to keep checking back to see if you're allowed access again, or keep an eye on http://lparchive.org/where it will eventually be uploaded and be permanently view able free of charge.

    Ha; so long as you keep up those optimisations for Hectors run I'm thrilled.

    No wonder Nils is going to get the hell out of Elibe through the dragons gate if you make that his introduction to the 'kind' humans!

    Sounds some what similar to FE6 when Tate and Klein refuse to move in their recruitment chapter?

    The second star lost in Lyns mode is due to having to sacrifice a tactics star somewhere to grind up Nils to level 7 to unlock 19xx. So if you are focusing on individual campaigns nothing is stopping you getting 59/60. In your funds rank example you would fail to max star. The money you spend is needed to be made up for. If 5stars needs 5K, and you spend 1K on weapon/item/Farina hireing, you'd need need to collect 6k in new assets to 5 star. I imagine saying with certanty the max star totals for HHM is a touch difficult as earlier in the thread he achived the funds reqirement on a level it was thought impossible to do so. Who knows if it'll hapen again? I'd be interested in following your run focusing on individual campaigns if you post it.

    I still find your run interesting, and no doubt your guide is still helpful. Everyone is going to be looking for different goals in runs. If I wanted to boot up a new game on my FE7 cart now, I'd go find your guide and set up a Lyn file first for all my future runs. Skipping Tutorial RNG is fantastic. I personaly would only ever aim for S rank in any mode at most, so your guide to get me set up for the main game is perfect. That's not why I check this thread though. I have zero interest in doing this run myself, but seeing what the max stars you can get is, and how you do it is fun to see. .

    All zeros across the board is harsh, but at least he's average compared to everyone else here.

    Not to mention Nergral himself! Clearly they have unlocked SS rank tomes; game hacks! ...That or Serra is over exaggerating, heven forbid. Good luck on the run ruadath. Enjoyed Melths S rank run, (and before that the Lyn HM 59/60 stars TAS on tasvideos) and am excited to see those stratigies expanded upon. Can't really offer anything beyond my blessing with you lots understanding of the game far surpassing mine, but I hope having a cheerleader doesn't hurt. As for the polls, re; the mine would go unused unless needed. If the game cheats and makes it impossible to clear with ingame targets, like in the Guy chapter, then even things up and mine glitch away. But if using a mine just makes things easier then I'm against. Challenges wouldn't be challenges using cop out strats.
