Q: What's Nico Rules?
A: It requires setting on Battle Speed 1 & Active. Also the following glitches and behaviors aren't allowed.
Q: Why do characters get damaged 1 or so on JP Any% run?
A: It's Equip Anything Bug, which normally works on Japanese version only. It allows them to equip any items to any equipment slot.
When they equip 1 Auto Crossbow (=オートボウガン), it gives like 170 Def and 255 Magic Def. If they have 2 stuffs, they can get 255 Def so I buy some at Figaro Castle.
If you want to know the mechanism of this glitch more deeply, check this page.
He runs FF6 JP & US version and other various games. I learned many techniques of FF6 JP No Sketch from his playing(e.g. equip anything glitch optimization and strategies on several battles)
He runs FF6 US version. He gave me many knowledges which can use on JP version as well.(e.g. seed manipulation and Joker Doom info)
He told me about Sketch Glitch. Also his discovery about JP Wrong Warp setup is awesome.
PPMA is GOD thing. (what does PPMA mean btw?)
I was impressed by his FF4 SFC speedrun and learned the basics of it.
He summarizes FF4 SFC knowledge a lot, also makes a steproute sheet for me.
