I imagine it would take a lot of effort, but I imagine that having a colored outline for who's in the lead would make it easier to focus on one speedrun or if I was just tuning in.
Bit late but if it helps, they run the audio for whichever player is in the lead. You can see a small speaker icon on their name when the audio is coming from them, so you can always tell who is in the lead.
This is my very own, “there can’t be 2 key blade masters”. Love these two speed runners so I count this as pre-retcon story. Amazing on both accounts. Thank you for showcasing this amazing story.
You have to watch the cutscene of Beast and Belle reuniting if you pick up the Divine Rose. Between that and the slower movement compared to just doing the Dumbo skip at the Castle Gates, it's faster to grab Oblivion. Plus, the game has inherent damage caps on bosses, so past a certain level of Strength, you won't be dealing any more damage against bosses. So even if you get Divine Rose in this route, it wouldn't make a difference in the endgame.
