Spectacular run! Very clean just as with all your other runs and as all the others have pointed out. One thing I would like to specifically comment on, and I don't know if this has been pointed out before, is your amazing camera control! I absolutely adore it! Your style with the switch axe is a work of art. The flowing attacks, the deliberate delays to some of the moves, all of it makes it look like your ballroom dancing or figure skating with the monsters. There's that much finesse! And to perfectly complement it all is your mastery over the camera. You not just keep the monsters within the screen, you adjust the camera considering everything about the monsters from the nature and range of their moves to their reactions to your own. You even maintain the camera at a nice angle relative to the monster's thrashing while you're clutched on to it. Even the backward movement of a clagger is proactively kept on screen. There is no messy vertical movement of the camera and you make such precise adjustments as needed on the fly. It is often said that the true final boss in many games is the camera. You clearly have it down to a science! Your playstyle coupled with your understanding of the monsters and your mastery over the camera adds up to footages that are of utter "production" quality that I dare say that they put Capcom's own gameplay trailers and videos to shame. Oh how I wish I could play as beautifully as you do. My gameplay is mediocre at best and they can often be so messy with me failing to rein in the camera that I make myself queasy. You make it look like we're playing completely different games! 😂 👍 ua-cam.com/video/14mDcQ5Bz5U/v-deo.html
It just means it's an elemental phial SA. Safi SAs can be awakened for elemental phials, but that's a pretty bad option now that the Kjarr ones are available.
TY for the run appreciate it! As a dedicated SA noob I have to ask is there a specific reason you run Enduring+ instead of Hard Enduring on the Crown? As in is there a secret speedrun mechanic ? Cause otherwise Id use Hard Endureing and free up 1 slot for something else
The difference in DPS is neglectable and you lose time if you have to tripple slap mid fight when he denenrages since you don't have 100% crit, assuming you don't gem in Crit eye or get an affinity augment but obviously if you do that you would lose damage.

Love the use of your "signature move" at 0:45, really nice! Great run as well, faultless imo

0:44 - 0:46 outstanding move
That attack into side step at 3:00 was so sick!
Dude the short hops are legendary!! Great run!
you make SA look really good, your use of the moveset is very creative and well planned, great run
i have missed your vid
you are god of S.AXE
Awesome move at 0:44
Amazing Kekko
Thank you Xan.
Awesome and great work :)
Great stuff as usual!
I was really confused about the "Safi" SA, wondering why you'd not take the Kjarr one, then I noticed the green glow. Sneaky!
I just like the base Safi design. That, Furious' and Velkhana's are probably my most favorite ones.
What does the green glow suggest? I'm new to SA, and new to both of your channels
It just means it's an elemental phial SA.

@@Deaga ohh... OK. Thank you. I love your content btw 👍🏼
Wow so clean
A perfect video
very elegant
Clean

It's very simple why I don't run Hard Enduring. I don't have it.
@@kekko5729 ty for your answer, hopefully luck blesses you very soon
Very clean ✨
But why the 5 safi instead of 3 safi 2 escadora ?

@@kekko5729 is it not worth it to slot in crit eye since you'll be getting full power prolonger?
