Gunvolt Boss Damage Analysis by Saairan

Have you ever noticed when fighting a boss, that you seem to do more or less amounts of damage at different points in the battle? This is because some bosses are more vulnerable or resistant when they're using certain attacks. I've reproduced a full damage analysis below that speedrunner Saairan compiled some time ago. With Inti Creates' live speedrun contest, Azure Blur, coming up, I thought that this would be a good opportunity to share this information. Might help some people out in the actual competition!

So, without further ado, hit the jump to check it out!

Azure Striker Gunvolt Speedrun Contest Announced by Inti

At Takuya Aizu and Keiji Inafune's PAX Prime panel, Inti Creates has just announced plans to host an Azure Striker Gunvolt live speedrun competition, in collaboration with Games Done Quick and SpeedRunsLive! Named "Azure Blur", this contest will require use of the newly-released PC version of the game and it's unique "Speedrun Mode". Participants will first be required to clear two "qualifying races" and then one "championships race" to determine the final winner. The first qualifying race will take place on 9/12 at 10am PST, the second will take place on 9/19 at 6pm PST, and the final, championships race will take place on 9/26 at 6pm PST. The winner will receive a free trip to Tokyo, Japan (or Boston, MA if the winner is Japanese).

For additional rules and guidelines (and there are a lot), please see the link below: http://inticreates.com/azureblur/

I would participate myself if my computer was more up-to-par, but since it's not, I'll be enthusiastically watching these races from the sidelines! Personally, I'm betting that Japanese player Tori's gonna take the cake with this contest. Anyone who can do a true ending run of Gunvolt in 55 minutes is nothing short of a god amongst men.
