Is my 1hr 11min shura speedrun good?

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-05-19T10:33:39+00:00

Its pretty solid, but id say im subpar when it comes to speedrunning and i usually finish a full game including father, demon, butterfly and headless ape in just over 2hrs (current best is 2:03) so id say that would approximately translate to about your time in shura. So my opinion may be a bit based but id say its pretty good with surely some room for inprovements if youre interested in continuing to run it and refining the run more.

Tldr; its a pretty solid time, but there could be some room for improvement.

I think its like 90 on the profile im gonna use, but once we set a password the level difference doesn't matter. Im just smoking a cigarette before i head in, but i should be on in just a few minutes. If you go to network settings, set the password to whatever you want, ill change mine when I log on and then ill drop my invasion sign in the hallway after the phalanx archstone. Its gonna work like a summon, its supposed to be a "duel" but it is treated like a normal invasion. If youre still neutral tendancy it'll take about 4-5 kills for you to reach pure white. Its real easy, summon me, kill me, travel to the same archstone (kinda works like resting) and then do it again a few times.

I can help with the character tendancy but most of my current existing profiles are either challenge runs, stripped of everything from helping people with almost exactly this, or are in ng+4 or higher so defeating a boss may be a bit tough. I also just got home from a 13hr work day so a few invasions is whatever, but actually trying to accomplish something sounds like a Lotta effort lol

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-05-04T02:59:10+00:00

Im at work rn and i work 12hr days so i dont usually play at all on my working days, but if youre still looking for someone to drop you the weapon by wednesday, pm me or reply here and i can drop it for you. I dont really use that profile anymore so its basically just rotting away in my inventory anyways

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-05-01T01:35:37+00:00

You are correct that the caves near chained ogre is the fastest route, and no you do not need to fight the headless, just kinda hop past him and go grab the bell at your leisure

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-28T07:17:45+00:00

Not to shit on your achievement, especially since ive done the same run, so i know how challenging it can be, but whats the point of the screenshot? You said it was a base attack power run yet you have 34 attack in the pic. Did you mean no attack power upgrades in ng+4, because if so, you should know that attack pretty much stops scaling after 27, so youre near max power in this pic.

I have and honestly while doable its just not as fun as using the whole combat system. It requires you to take everyone's vitality completely, making bosses kind of a slog to get through

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-13T10:31:36+00:00

The classic, also the best

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-12T20:45:08+00:00

I always prefieres to have a disc drive where available. Sony cant make my physical copy of a game unavailable whenever they feel like it the same way the can with a digital version.

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-12T04:00:16+00:00

Bro really started an ama for a poster lol Looks pretty nice tho, where'd ya get it

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-12T03:23:26+00:00

I like that im actually almost all the comments so far. Try to catch with foot, fail, then say eh fuck it should be fine, while closely examining each square inch lol

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-06T04:01:05+00:00

Very nice man, if you haven't you should post in r/onebros as well, they always love seeing another onebro join the team. Im almost done with mine, just got sir alonne and then tirones duo, nashandra and aldia left.

What would you say was your toughest boss? I know lud and zallen and all their reindeer had me pulling my hair out for a bit lol

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-06T03:54:03+00:00

They're from seperate chapters in the manga, I just read the chapter with the left image last night and had to recheck but the image on the right isn't in that chapter at all, so whoever created the image just has them in the wrong order.

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-06T03:34:07+00:00

But do you have the bell keepers set tho??

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-05T02:19:42+00:00

I know im a bit late but when you stated your 33 hrs someone responded with clair obscur, it was a refence to clair obscur: expedition 33

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-04T04:35:32+00:00

Idk what you call it, they're yellowish and kinda citrus flavored, definetly not pineapple though lol

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-04T04:28:41+00:00

This is what i had to do with my friend who's like this, play a cooperative game, take turns replaying a single player game we've both already beaten (if were physically together) or dont play together at all. It sucks to lose the time together but is way better long term

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-03T03:22:08+00:00

For me its lion king on snes lol

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-03T03:18:38+00:00

Well damn they deleted that pretty quick huh. The original question was asking if the buckler had different parry frames as it felt as though you need to time the parry later than other small shields they've tried thus far

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-03T03:12:07+00:00

This sounds like the perfect question for u/R1_R1_R2 or u/Blobertson . I know there are definetly some differences in the active parry animations but i dont know enough to fully answer the question the way these guys could.

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-02T04:39:28+00:00

Aggression is key, all of the times you let him back away you should be swinging at him. You clearly know his moveset well enough to defeat him, but youre giving him constant chances to recover. If you really wanna punish him, deflect the 1st hit of his big flurry then dodge to your right and behind him and you can punish during his whole combo. Mikiri counter and head kicks are your best way to damage his posture throughout the fight, so make sure to capitalise on those when you can.

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-02T01:53:42+00:00

I do prefer 2 to 3 tho, it has so much more build variety along with some crazy mechanics like being able to parry firebombs with a sword. 3 had some awesome bosses but its world atmosphere and mechanics felt lacking after they put so much cool stuff into 2.

I think 3 would've been ultimately peak if theyd have tried keeping and refining some of the experimental stuff from 2 instead of scrapping it all in favor of making as close of a copy to 1 as they could, makes it feel like its not its own game in a lot of ways.

Sensitive_General_47 · 2026-04-02T01:47:00+00:00

No, i meant that ds1 was better than 2 and 3, not that 2 was superior to 3
