Poking...

While looking through the TLR.exe, I noticed some rather amusing comments here and there. Some of the stuff was just romanized JP too. After a few "Invalid ___!(%d)" (I guess it's looking for an int), there was a "haaa?". Morale was misspelled as "Moral", but I think that's forgivable since they get the right spelling in-game. Plus, English isn't exactly their first language so mistakes like that would be fairly common. Another amusing thing of note is that some of the gibberish that I initially noted, is really Japanese. It might take a little while longer, but I think I can find a hex editor that will display the characters properly.

Anyways, I'll be updating this post with various things I find within the .exe file and whatever else I find interesting. Don't expect much though since most of my activity is probably going to be on GFAQs or the wiki.

And along the way, I did another damage test for the X360 board concerning the difference between the Might Splitters and Shielding Hawkwind. Needless to say, I was right in thinking that the Might Splitters were much better for damage despite there being a 40+ ATK difference in the Shielding Hawkwinds' favour. You need at least a 50 point difference to overcome the various damage boosting effects (really to deal about the same amount of damage if only 1 effect is in play, more if multiple effects are affecting damage). It's really that effective. The more you know~

Although come to think of it, the data may have been a little bit messed up. Mostly because of Rush being a Ninja. From a few tests ago, it seems that the most damage you can add on top of base damage is 100% (and another ~28% if you're adding extra hits). If Rush was a Ninja (and he was), then he would have been adding 105% when using 2 Black Belts and 2 Might Splitters, but losing the 5% extra. [Combat Arts] +5 (+15%), [Axe] +5 (+15%) and [Dual Wield] +5 (+15%). So... +30%/+30%/+45% total from each effect. This probably explains why the damage added wasn't quite lining up... Plus, Rush went from STR86.48 to STR112(.42), so there's that to consider as well.
