+====== MGRR - Any% - NG+ - R07 ======
+{{youtube>9H1iw0fvHOw?}}
 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BC33sY1DyY|Armstrong NG+ Easy]]
+===== What's new in R-07  =====
+  * Final Polearm Jump
+  * Excelsus
+  * Armstrong
+====== R-07 Route ======
+  * Start with some movement towards the last Polearm Jump
+  * It can be bHopping or LSC’s
+  * Come to the very far right wall, then
+> Secondary Weapon: Pincer Blades - Polearm
+  * Then you do a Polearm Jump
+  * First one can be early or late, since the first pillar is just the start
+  * The second jump, however, requires a really precise jump
+  * Looking at the right barrier can help a little bit
+  * setting the jump just as you would’ve set up a Factory one
+> Secondary Weapon: Polearm - Pincer Blades
+  * Either way, fall down after getting a jump
+  * LSC your way out of OoB
+  * Be wary of the objects around, since they still have collisions and will block your LSC’s
+  * Hit the Blade Wolf trigger at the end of the section to proceed with Excelsus bossfight
+====== Bossfight: Metal Gear EXCELSUS ======
+All difficulties can do the same strategy in order to lower MG's health.\\ Specific variations will be pointed out\\
+[[https://youtu.be/lakfLfblfLw?t=43|Hard Difficulty IL Example by Darkslayer]]
+(Easy to Hard difficulty don't require Ripper Mode use on the first leg, Very Hard and Revengeance use Ripper Mode for this left leg)
+  * Start with going to the left leg
+  * Start with CP1
+  * Release CP1 right after EXCELSUS will start attacking
+  * Proceed with CP2 and P3
+  * Then use P1 and P2
+  * damage will be low enough to give you the first Zandatsu prompt
+General rule of the thumb: Don’t Ninja Run all the way up, it loses a ton of time.
+  * On getting down, get to the center of the arena, and then set a RM + CP2 to the head
+  * optional for Easy to Hard: get a P3 slash to hit as well after the CP2
+  * autoscroller will start
+Easy to Very Hard Difficulty:
+  * Before Ray starts to shoot the lasers, get to the right leg
+  * and start charging CP2
+  * When the Cows spawn, release CP2 and hit the right leg
+Revengeance Difficulty:
+[[https://youtu.be/nn33DB9WfW0?t=2843|Revengeance Difficulty video example by Darkslayer]]
+  * Before Ray starts to shoot the lasers, get to the right leg
+  * as the right leg moves forward, do a P1 slash on this right leg, cancel after the first hit with blade mode
+  * damage the right leg with a CP1 in ripper mode, then start charging CP2
+  * When the Cows spawn, release CP2 and hit the right leg
+During this autoscroller section, we have to do a setup for the Armstrong fight later
+  * Our goal is to lower your health to ~40% (for Hard Difficulty)
+  * You can use Pincer Blades hyperarmor (holding a charged Pincer attack) to tank the hits after you hit your health target
+Final  segment (same for all difficulties)
+  * safely get back to the right leg, and charge CP2
+  * When Armstrong will say “like my ride, worth every penny”, release CP2 at the end of the “penn[y]”
+  * Zandatsu, run, 2x Mash, 3x QTE, Mash, Zandatsu
+====== Bossfight: Armstrong ======
+(assuming you have ~40% HP on Hard Difficulty)
+===== Phase 1 =====
+  * Start with RM Dodge + CP2
+  * damage Armstrong with that CP2
+  * after the 2nd slash immediately dodge out of it twice
+===== Phase 2 =====
+  * Jump directly at Armstrong and prepare to mash
+  * Getting damaged here now will trigger the QTE cutscene
+  * Mashing is mandatory to go through this section fast
+If you have restarted on accident or taken a continue and your health has refilled,\\
+you can attempt these manipulations for fast attacks and damage from Armstrong:

+{{youtube>Mbu2uVS1C0o?}}
+===== Phase 3 =====
+==== Beginner ====
+[[https://youtu.be/bxoM1-NHvk0?t=3576| Beginner Example by Hau5test]]
+  * Heavy -> Light, then 4 Light
+  * Dodge the attack, then immediately Sky High, into another Dodge
+  * you can keep damaging Armstrong, but don't go under 160% health as this will not lead to his charge attack
+  * Wait until Armstrong will start charging an attack, interrupt him with Sky Highs
+  * Proceed to Sky High, until the healing patch comes on
+  * Cut it down, then do more Sky High
+  * Prevent Armstrong from going upwards by doing a Falling Lightning. (see Advance video example)
+==== Advanced ====
+  * Heavy x3 -> Sky High + Dodge
+  * if Armstrong does two attacks instead of one, dodge another time
+  * Sky High until healing patch, cut the patch
+  * Sky High until <20%
+  * cancel upwards with Falling Lightning
+==== Sky High Cancels ====
+[[https://youtu.be/lakfLfblfLw?t=320|IL Example by Darkslayer]]
+  * RM + Lightning Strike
+  * Cancel out of LS as early as possible
+  * Sky High Cancels, until Armstrong gets launched
+  * Small pause, then SHC’s, until Armstrong goes into healing phase
+  * Cut the healing patch, Sky High x3, then Falling Lightning
+  * SHC’s until Armstrong stands up
+  * Time your Falling Lightning to prevent Armstrong from going upwards, RM can help you with that
+  * If Armstrong had less than 20% HP before he started to wake up, final QTE will start
+  * If Armstrong had more than 20% HP, you’ll be forced to cut another health patch, then knock him back
+  * Final QTE will occur right after he stands back up
+====== R07 Key Points ======
+  * EXCELSUS is a consistent fight, but getting to 40% HP might pose a problem at first.
+  * SHC’s on Armstrong is the fastest way to kill him, but it requires a ton of practice, which can be a problem.
+  * Therefore, refer to two easier strategies listed in a guide, until you feel like you’re ready to do SHC’s.
+  * Doing SHC’s is very taxing on hands, get a proper grip on your gamepad/keyboard, or the efficiency of this method will be drastically lowered.
