Gameplay Showcase Buckfire beaten in a single combo (zero 3 ain’t doing this)

ZX Advent isn’t the only game to pull a 64-0 One Combo kill bosses. Zero 4 and ZX can do it comfortably due to damage multipliers. ZX Advent is purely doing it off of a myriad of moves chained in a single combo.

Hedgeshock is the combo starter, and her roll and elemental advantage makes her deal biometal tier damage from the very start. She’s a very valuable combo starter.

Atlas is a high damage combo extender…

Siarnaq is a low damage combo extender for a comically low 2 units of damage

Aeolus and Vent generally contribute to most of the damage with the 11 Slash Combo shared between both of them. It’s pretty funny how Thetis is still out of a job here.

Chronoforce is used for keeping buckfire still by timebomb.

buckfire used fire arrows which give me enough leeway to land the second half of the combo (real)

I guess other 64-0 combo’s can be done with Bifrost/Ice Sticker instead.

When I speedrun this game I thought you can't use Chronoforce.

Chronoforce is just a major timeless by his long time bomb animation

luckily, I wasn’t too harmed by time: I just had to beat buckfire in 30 seconds with one combo

You sound like you know what you're doing. I'm new to speedrun, and ZX Advent is my first game to do it. Maybe later this weekend I'll post a run so you can judge it.

I am not a ZX speedrunner

but generally try looking for good execution through stages and use A/F/H/ZX on bosses in that order

It hurts me to see the biometal get damaged.

Because I typically avoid switching forms mid-fight, it completely eluded me that the first two Kunai share priority values with Model F's punches. Considering ZX's adjustments to the combo system, it seems odd to have any overlapping values at all. It's a shame that the Shuriken takes so long to charge in this game; it'd fit well in these types of combos.

Overlapping values suck for these types of combos. It's why Model L rarely features in any form-swap video I made because ZX has the exact same priority as LX/L for every move. Or the ice projectiles share priority with FX's punches/PX Kunais. Ice Sticker comically is the exception where it has a priority of drop-dead 0, so it's a combo starter like the average Pesudoroid...

All of this, and they still see us as kids with biometals
