Official FF6: Beyond Chaos thread (randomizer)

yeah, i recorded some BC playthrough 
Nice starting for that seed!

Senzu Beans? so it doesn't cast Life 2 spell but it's an item instead?

It's a "weapon" that no one can equip. It's only use is to break it, as if it were a Fire Rod or something. It casts Life 2 upon being broken, but the unbreakable flag is set. Thus, you can use it every turn. However, it has the targeting parameters of a Potion. You can use it on a character, but if they're dead, the character using the item steps forward, and then just steps back. Thus, it doesn't work on dead allies. This makes it only useful on undead enemies(if you can even target the enemies with it, I never checked), or on a character that has the Vanish status.

yeah, that needs a fix i guess

A quick update on the Seed I'm on Gents:

Character appearances:

- Gau fills in for Locke (RNG named him "Archer")
- Gogo fills in for Edgar (RNG named him "Goku")
- Edgar decided to show brotherly love by filling in for an absent Sabin (RNG named him "Mousse").
***Banon retained his true colors***
- TERRA of all people, is doing the dirty work for SHADOW (RNG named her "Xia").
Locke put on his NEON BLUE garments (LMAO) to meet the role of Cyan (RNG named him "Johnny")
- Setzer doing acting for Gau (RNG named him "Yamcha")
- Relm showing absolutely NO fear as she gladly filled in Celes' role of getting knuckled up by those soldiers (RNG named her "Milly").


Characters that are basically "GETTING IT DONE":

1) Mousse
A competent fighter that uses R-Sword, which allows him to randomly uses one of Cyan's 8 sword techs. He's smart enough to almost always use Stunner, the MT attack that not only puts the hurt, but also sets stops on those still living and vulnerable to the ailment.

2) Yamcha
An absolute MONSTER that came strapped with W-Death & R-Earth to unleash unspeakable acts of suffering on enemy parties. W-Death dishes out 2 random instant death attacks, switching between single/multi target. Problem is that he'll occasionally switch between the enemy and our own party. W-Earth has the potentially to wreak havoc, but I I tread lightly with that as there's always a 1/x chance that a Quake spell will be chosen and that will be RIP to my "permanent death" run.

3) Milly
Milly has the throw command.
Really self explanatory on what type of damage she's capable of, and even MORESO when this seed is dropping Bolt Edges like they're going out of style.

If I can get a character with RAGE, I'll really be in there.

Speaking of Rages:
Has anyone used a Rage before and It actually had MULTIPLE attacks to be used? I used a Rage that was not only Reflective, but it caused the user to use a Special attack AND Cast the Sleep Spell. So bizarre...

All rages have 2 attacks to be used. Most of the time in vanilla, there was a standard attack, and the monster's "signature attack," maybe Giga Volt, or Blaze, or it's special attack. In Beyond Chaos, this is randomized, and enemies often have 2 different attacks that are not just a standard attack. Some memorable examples:

Soul Out + Launcher
Attack+ x8 damage special
Wild Bear + x5 damage special
Aqua Rake + Giga Volt
and the list goes on...

R-Sword's tendency towards Stunner is most likely just good luck so far. It should tend to all 8 Bushido evenly, as far as I know.

I find it weird that vanilla was programmed to allow two different attacks from each Rage, then turns around and makes one a standard physical attack for every single Rage.

I also forgot to tell you guys, regarding Mousse's R-Sword Techniques:

When he Uses "Dispatch", the attack text reads "Joker Doom".....

...you couldn't imagine how close I came to almost s***ting my pants when I seen that text come up.

Wait, you mean you're doing that type of run that, if you die, then you toss away the seed and start over?

btw it's called Joker Doom because that's its name in the spell list(the others have no name), i guess an hardcoded function call them with their actual name when they are casted in a more "vanilla" way

 Yeah, If I get a Game Over even once, I scrap the seed and begin fresh.
A little personal challenge to spice up the run and make it interesting.

good luck, your run might end potentially everywhere
