At least in my experience, it won't work as well unless you do it at a VERY PRECISE timing or in certain exact situations. Because if you use it to avoid a skill, for example, that skill will most likely be Disaster Sword or Tiger Bite, and since those have long animations and the invulnerability time is very short compared to how it was in Rebirth, you'll most surely end up caught in the skill anyways. Same with a normal combo, unless they get bored of attacking invincible Haseo before he loses it. Maybe the only way i can think of to avoid dying when it's too late is to either MASH R1, to quickly do a Hangeki, or MASH the Start button to do another weapon change D:

Oh really? o-O; It only happened to me once during low-level runs (where he was capable of killing me), and it was in that recorded attempt. All other attempts (...2. lol) ended normally without him using le claw, and the other times i was able to endure it normally due to being at a "normal" level for the fight. Maybe if he's already "selected" for doing it, he'll do it no matter what, but if you can stop him before such selection happens (activating Beast Awakening quick enough, possibly) and then defeat him, then the game will see Sirius had no actions left to do and just move on to the cutscenes.
And you can actually avoid Ovan's Tri-Edge attack in both battles, if you're able to inflict a strong enough attack to take down his HP from an amount high enough to not trigger the attack, to 0 (about 3000 damage or so). Very possible to do in Vol. 3 with 3-slot Counters, but perhaps impossible in Vol. 2 except by maybe a Beast Awakening-Rengeki-Heavenly Wheel at lv100 while Ovan's HP is just digits away from triggering the attack (...even though if you're lv100, it'll only barely scratch you anyways XD)
MyMight wrote:2 slots counters trigger at a very low chance, but I still use them anyway since I let my partners die very often haha. I did a few attempts against Ovan using counters instead of awakenings, when Ovan was doing the 4 or 5 hit combo + 1 shot, atoli and endrance triggered the counter and his hp quickly went down to 300+. This triggers the tri-edge sign and kills me immediately. Atoli and Endrance was dead because I critical healed them before the Shot was released. Didn't try it again though, since I felt that Awakening is dealing good damage to Ovan, might as well use the safest way to defeat him. There was also this attempt where Atoli became invincible, but she just wont react to my commands, I tried to command her to revive me after the tri-edge attack but she just stands there doing nothing.
Yeah, not the greatest idea to use Counters against Ovan then; only worth it if you're really going to kill him, because leaving him near-dead will end you indeed D: And lol, poor Atoli didn't know what to do because she was a ghost and yet not really D: That invincibility glitch thing is cool, but somewhat difficult to trigger, and as i can see now, not all worth it if it's not Haseo.

In the end , I use the original speed just not to screw up the audio. By the way what kind of software are you recording on a ps2? The video quality is really nice lol, and game still runs smoothly.
lol, I can see how that would be a problem XDD And you mean what kind of software i used for the GU videos i uploaded? It's not a software, and it's a method i wouldn't really recommend XDD What i did was to connect a video camera, the kind of videocamera you hold and move around, through S-Video-RCA stuff to a VHS player (yeah i still have one of those XD), which in turn was connected to the TV. So basicly, as i played i was recording stuff from the TV into the VHS, which in turn was also recording the very same on the videocamera. The videocamera recorded this in a DVD, in a .VOB file especifically, and after recording i had to put that DVD into a computer, extract that file, convert it to a valid format (.avi usually), and then finally upload it. A LONG PROCESS that could've been simplified by simply having a capture card or a TV with a direct connection to the computer or whatever else XDD I don't record anymore due to lack of time, and because that whole process was too bothersome, at least for me. Can't just decide to record stuff whenever i feel like easily D:
