Alright, as many of you know I tried to start a Legends speedrun racing group early in the summer. We got a few races going, but interest fell short of what we needed to maintain it. But, that hasn't stopped me from taking (What I believe to be) the world records in MegaMan Legends and MotB.
But, Legends 2 has been a bit of a different beast. My current run, a normal mode 1: 42 :43 (I'm going off memory, took a break from speedrunning) is about 10 minutes faster than the next best run. I have to appeal to the community, who may know the game far better than me (I've never 100%'d the game, and only bought it for the purpose of speedrunning) could help me with a few things.
Getting the Zsaber is still an option (at 6 - 7 minutes for quizzes) if more skips can be found late game with it, but, from what I've seen there isn't anything. It can't be made before Saul Kada, so any skips would be after that.
The Bonne Train section where you throw missiles back at the train sucks. Firstly, it's random whether or not a missile can be caught or not, and secondly only a few weapons can hit the train.
I only collect three weapons in the game as of now, and tested a fourth (particularly for hitting this train...) which are drill arm, homing missile and shining laser. The fourth was actually a weapon I forget, but it was on Manda Island and shot this green ball thing very fast. It sped up a few sections but overall didn't save enough time to warrant going to the side ruin.
Anyway, I was wondering if there were any other weapons that could possibly hit the Bonne train without me having to throw stupid missiles at it, or a combo of buster parts that could let me do it. I can grab about 50,000 extra zenny without much time penalty in my run, and more if need be.
If there are any other boss tricks (I know of Bola 1 and 2 one cycles, Frog OHKO, Sera 1 and 2 double damage.) you'd like to share any big time savers (I know the card key skip in Calinca's Ice Ruin... but that's it) I might have missed in my practice, feel free to post as well. Hopefully if I can figure out a few more tricks, I can get the time to be under 1:40 minutes, or perhaps even further!
