it’s funny how people complaint about 2nd phase bosses, and then saying it also has nothing todo with speedrunning(by extension speed) and applying to casual players too, when it’s possible it might actually have a “purpose” for casual players or lesser speed considerations (even if perhaps accidentally):
Granted i think phase transition is just a collateral effect of using existing bosses. But, since i do enjoy so playing the devil’s advocate, since Z has repeatedly emphasises SR continues to not be made with 4 boss gangbang in mind, and actually scaled bases on 1v1 potential
Phase change does give you a potential break without being as wasteful/uesless as peopel make it out to be; you simply go kill the other bosses in the meantime
