Kirby's Return to Dreamland True Arena Speed Run (Leaf) - 9:29:73

[@kirbymastah]

I wouldn't know actualy DPS values, but bomb is pretty decent. Note that pretty decent means moderatly powerful, which half the abilities in this game are even better since this game is so well balanced.

[@kirbymastah]

Because it's not the weakest power by far. It has one of the best DPSs in the game actually, with Leaf Rain + Uppercut complementing each other incredibly well. If you want to know weak powers, look at sleep, parasol in air, sword, cutter, water, and needle. And even those can do all right in arena (besides sleep).

[@Kayachlata]

Dashing with leaf is also invaluable, being able to attack while being invincible and immediately guard with no chance of taking damage.

[@kirbymastah]

damage per second. leaf rain has very high dps thanks to being very spammable, with wide range, and doing a solid 28 damage per hit.

[@Daggurat]

Runawayguys brought me here.

[@Christan_yui]

The slow part is When you fight galacta knight When he shoot electric bolt You can just keep attack him while midair and hit yourself into him You can get no damage from his attack and have chance to kill him faster

[@kirbymastah]

yep, the very same; a few searches around the forum will show that I've advertised a few of my videos (aka my any%, 100% speed runs, challenge rooms, and arena stuff) XD

[@Adricgames]

I had no idea Leaf was so powerful. I mainly just use bomb, hammer and parasol.

[@kirbymastah]

I do agree, this run is IMO pretty bad, and assuming I have time (which I don't at the moment), I'll eventually be coming back to this

[@Adricgames]

Ok, I was just making sure. Also, are you the same kirbymastah from gameFAQ's who made the ability analysis thing? XD

[@kirbymastah]

I would love to, but I don't want to do True Arena with Wing since it'll then mess up my strats for the bosses in my any% speedruns (because any% is essentially wing 99% of the game).

[@kirbymastah]

no clue, I suspect at least 12 minutes though

[@Christan_yui]

I also run with leaf and its took me 09:19:33

[@kirbymastah]

Do you mean Leaf's dash attack? Because honestly it's not a very good attack, despite being invincible, since it's very slow, incredibly laggy, and not versatile at all. Do you mean moving while using Leaf Swirl? That is somewhat handyb ecause you can control which way you move, when to jump, and when to release Leaf Tornado (which is when you're invincible).

[@Kayachlata]

The dash attack is what I meant, I don't really get lag though :p I usually did a dash then block near the end (then immediately release) for more damage. It was the main technique that I used to get through the true arena. :) Pretty good attack though (maybe not time wise but technique wise)

[@kirbymastah]

there's been a lot of testing done by a few people on Metal General, since doing damage to him shows you the number of how much you do

[@kirbymastah]

did you have to comment 6 times?

[@Adricgames]

*Back after a month* Looking at this speedrun it's still very good. However, after messing with True Arena off and on over the past month or so, I've noticed a few things, most notably: Hitting Goriath during the animation where he is breaking the floor pounding on it is a bad idea. The damage is highly reduced and the hitlag makes your time worse. It's a small margin, but every millisecond counts. My best run is currently 10:57.29 (Hammer) Still working on it. Anyway, whatever.

[@Adricgames]

I've done this. It took me about 25 minutes first try. Speedrunning I only managed to get down to 18 minutes.

[@jpeanut97]

How long do you think it would take to speed run the True Arena with no copy ability? Also, Random train for the win!

[@leo10kirby]

I dare you to try a speedrun of true arena with tornado!

[@Kilbiiii]

be cool for you to do the same with Tornado kirby

[@Xcadrill]

Magolor destruction, anyone?

[@narwhao]

You never analyzed the dash attack for leaf.

[@Himan22566LPs]

And i thought i was good at this game 0.0

[@krishnakpandian]

same

[@Adricgames]

still lost to this guy.

[@TheLastLivinGameCube]

If you quit, I think you cheat. Honestly, I do not know. If so, then remember that you could cut that out of the video.

[@kirbymastah]

uh what?

[@TheLastLivinGameCube]

Kirby Mastah I am just making a guess. If you cut time out of it, the viewers will not be able to tell that you were cheating, unless if everything is randomized if you know what I mean.

[@kirbymastah]

Because it sucks
