Speedrun Info?

Foremost, I want to apologize for my edit warring behavior in the past few days. I should have taken dispute to the talk page sooner, rather than quarrel via edit summaries. To provide context: a few days ago, an anonymous user made an edit to this article, citing the speedrun notes from an well-known Kingdom Hearts speedrunner named Drazerk. Here is the link he provided: http://pastebin.com/H8axKHBE However, I was unsure as to whether speedrun info was pertinent to this article's strategy section. The document the anonymous user cited contains very specific instructions, and require the player to be a certain level, to equip a certain Gear, and to have already played through the game a very specific way. Would a more general strategy (such as the current one) or a more technical one be more appropriate? Also, if speedrun info is indeed pertinent, should other articles on 358/2 Days bosses be edited to contain such specific info? DAnonymous318 (talk) 02:20, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

The ideal strategy should be whatever is cheapest, in terms of time, grinding, and in-game finances. If a certain strategy, even on a speedrun, requires you to have played the rest of the game a certain way, then the "time" it takes includes the rest of the game. It could certainly be mentioned, especially if it is efficient during the battle (lord knows that Days is pretty terrible for turning every boss into "just keep dodging and hitting it"), but it shouldn't replace a strategy that a normal player could apply without intense prior preparation.

However, I'm having trouble seeing what exactly you two are arguing about, or at least, the diffs don't paint a clear picture for me. Could you elaborate on what these specific instructions are, and why they are not applicable to a normal player?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 14:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
