I have a name picked out too, just not gonna say it in case I change my mind later, haha.
Some random stuff that people might care about, but probably not:
Still working on a smooth Lupi duo. My shadow recording kind of bugged out last night, but here is a fairly large webm video with most of the fight, at least a bit of all 3 phases. I shrunk it down so that it could be hosted, but it's still pretty large so remove the space in the url to see it (don't want a 50Mb webm playing automatically for people with the extension.) There's no audio and yeah it cuts out before it ends, couldn't shrink it down enough to keep it undersize for the whole fight.

I was able to solo-cheese Lupi today too. I tried on Ranger earlier but I feel like there are not enough dodges in the world now that his single target range attack hits anywhere. Maybe one day I'll be able to do it otherwise on guard with all the tools they have to survive, but even this was a bit of a learning experience. Had to effectively hybridize between 5-man cheese lupi setup and Duo no-cheese setup. For anyone that cares about specifics, I found that I had to really alternate between scepter ranging and getting in close with the GS. Otherwise, the amount of moving I found I had to do in order for locusts to not kill me would just end up wiggling Lupi around too much. Of course, once the WoR is off the fight is pretty much over.
I also have my first solo kill of Alphard on guard. I really enjoy not having to run around a pillar like a chicken with its head cut off. Not the most stylish kill even but hey, I was learning the fight as I went. Why did no one tell me mace was op. My shield of the avenger betrays me but then allows me to rally, so it's all cool between me and him.
Mace also helped with Belka. Sword is just unreliable since the projectile nature of a couple of the attacks.
