@poodleskirt how is that proof you have no bottles? You are only showing part of the screen, so it is perfectly plausible that you could be hiding the bottles over on the edge.

@Thundrio, I actually beat my record again today and managed to take a better picture of the pause menu outside of Twin Rova's warp, here it is (05:53.43):

Obviously no bottles. Here's the actual time (05:53.93):

Sorry if my last post was unclear, I thought you could sufficiently see that there were no bottles on the side. I made sure to take a better pic this time. I am proud of this time since it's my record and I've only gotten sub 6:00 three times. I don't see how the images would be insufficient proof, but I can give you a play by play of the run if need be. I use a couple strats not used by pokey and aleckermit in their old runs, and none of them involve timer manipulation.

Well you still are not showing the stuff you currently have equipped, and so you could conceivably have bottles there. Besides as Greenalink said it looks like link is left handed in that picture, and AFAIK link is right handed in MQ

@thundrio: First, you *can* see what I have equipped on that screen. The buttons on the right side of the grid show what you have equipped currently. There is no way I could have a bottle in my inventory and not have it show up on the bottom screen while paused. And yes, this is not Master Quest, I don't claim that it is.

On top of the images posted above I decided to try to film myself playing 3DS a bit. I emailed you a video (from my university email account) showing me getting to Twin Rova in 3:46 before getting trolled/owned by her, proving that the time posted above is easily possible without bottles or any other kind of clock manipulation. Sorry for the low quality of the video, I was having to reach around my laptop as it sat on my lap and filmed the screen.

I advise you to watch me getting owned by Twin Rova, for the lulz.

I'm sorry i did not see the items on the side of the screen. If you look at the forums, the image is zoomed in a lot from the actual image, and so you should be able to see why I thought you were hiding something.

Sorry for the accusation, and good job on the time, it looks pretty good.

Re: OoT3D: Boss Time Attack

#187
Yeah, I'm sorry about the giant images. Imgur does that to me for some reason. You were right to be skeptical given the weird new cheat thing, so it's nothing to apologize for :-)

Re: OoT3D: Boss Time Attack

But yeah, obviously not a lot of people care about the 3DS Boss time trials, but I don't think there's any reason the Bottle thing should ruin them. Anyone who can take a picture of their time in the boss select screen is obviously capable of taking a picture of their inventory right before the run ends.

In my opinion, for those bosses where it's impossible to prove you didn't use a bottle by using pictures, thundrio should either decide that the bottle thing is legal in just those boss fights or that filming it is required (since pretty much everyone has a webcam). No reason to let a silly glitch ruin the time trials. Personally I would say filming is the way to go, since I think the runs should be about beating the bosses quickly, not playing with bottles.

I don't really care anymore to be honest. I put the time attack tables on zsr/oot3d so that any editor could update if they felt like it, but I really don't see myself ever updating the tables anymore. It's just too much work for something I don't care about anymore.

Sorry.

=)

The guy worked hard for his time and wants to show it on a site with sections made for this. Denying him that is pretty rude

Re: OoT3D: Boss Time Attack

#191
@Thundrio, totally understood :-) I wouldn't want to have to deal with a responsibility that I didn't care about, either

@TomNook, thanks for going to bat, but it's really not a big deal at all :-)

Hi there guys,

I just joined these forums and actually only for one question xD Could I add my Boss Rush Records to the tables? I will of course use the ones from the "none-glitch" save. I also have a save where i am having fun with the glitches, but thats a seperate thing.

So if there is anyone still updating the boss rush tables I would take pictures of my times (havn´t done any yet, but i will soon) and upload em. Are there actually any other rules except fro no bottles? Should I rather do the time attack on MQ just to make sure i get no bottles?

Anyone knows any good strats for Morpha and Barinade?
My best times is 29:40 sec for Morpha and 54:20 sec for Barinade.

Re: OoT3D: Boss Time Attack

#198
Morpha: try to hookshot her (yeh, to me, Morpha's a she) right after you get on the side of the room (don't wait until she makes the tentacule). Hookshot her to the corner and attack once then do two jump attacks (take one step back after each), you should be in the corner so slash normaly once (continue to step back between each strike) then do two jump slashes again.

I got 19,70 with this.


Barinade: be fast and try to kill two biris on the first row while attacking the heart.

Just to talk about Boss Rush, along with challenging yourself and other members for better times. Showing new strats, etc.

Re: OoT3D: Boss Time Attack

#203
Not really that good, but I have 40.96 seconds on King Dodongo. Does anyone have any tips on doing it faster?

Re: OoT3D: Boss Time Attack

#205
Okay, I'm bumping this thread to share my best times. I don't have a way to show pictures right now but I will in time.  ;) These times were without the timer glitch.

Phantom Ganon: 45:56

(Insert Picture Here)

Twinrova: 1:58:53

(Insert Picture Here)

Re: OoT3D: Boss Time Attack

#208
Guys, I am trying to get a good time, and I'm mostly stuck on Volvagia. How do you interrupt his attacks to beat him in around 40 secs?

Also, I CANNOT for the life of me get under 2 minutes with Twinrova. Am I supposed to once-cycle phase two, or not? In any case, any tips on how to do it?

And also, any tips for Phantom Ganon?

Heck, in general, are there any good boss guides? There don't seem to be any on this website... But I have relatively good/passable times on most bosses, and would really like to improve them. Any tips?


EDIT: Since my Twinrova time seems kinda not too bad, I though I'd submit it:

(True story: I lost 6 seconds going to the warp portal... -_-)
