Are you absolutely sure that you defeated the right one? They switch places when you beat a clone, so if you identified the real one, defeated a clone, then defeated the one you thought was the real one, it was likely another clone. If yes, you're sure about that, then it sounds like a bug.
Of course, she will be! she is the protagonist's greatest rival and arch-nemesis after all.
I'm not sure how many ways I can describe it without people asking "am I sure". Yes, I have a save state where the real Shizu is 418/450 arousal. After I put her over the edge, she disappears and is replaced with a clone at the end of turn. Then, all three targets are clones. I have carefully identified each target before and after defeating the real Shizu. The fact I did this also means I didn't just "win" and move on in the game, instead of complaining about it here. I don't need to check for the 10th time. This is a bug.
Yeah I'll pass. I realize now this is not the campus of knowledge and wisdom that I mistook it for. Wouldn't wanna immerse myself too deeply and contract anything contagious.
I definitely understand your frustration at people asking the same thing over and over, but to be fair I'm like... 70% sure (because I haven't played in a bit) that every turn the real Shizu gets shuffled up again, so it's a very real possibility that you just missed and got supremely unlucky afterwards (though I doubt that since you could just reload a save and target a different one until you got the real one). But hey, on the bright side, I think you found a bug that no one else has before, so that's neat.
I'll have you know my stupidity isn't contagious. Just stay like, 10 feet away from me at least so you don't step into my passive IQ debuffing aura.
Well I asked because nobody else seems to be having a problem with her, we can all defeat her just fine. So it hardly seems unreasonable to at least consider the possibility that you are doing something wrong.
I very much consider that I caused this to happen... somehow. We've already established that I am in fact targeting the correct Shizu, so now we can move on to alternate theories as to why the battle doesn't end when she is defeated. I was hoping that this was a known issue with a known solution, but at this point I seem to be the only one who has encountered this bug. Just trust me that the issue did occur how I described it and that I'm not simply confused.
I beated Shizu a few days ago in my new game, no problem at all. I used making out stance and kisses, very effective against her. Maybe try that?
As requested, I have attached save files of two separate instances encountering this issue. Each is labeled and ordered for clarity which I'll further detail at the bottom of this post. The files cover two fights where the bug occurred from start to finish.
Perpetua is the True final Boss fight that reveals herself after defeating a Decoy Demon's Queen.
Syntax error.
Ren'Py itself is a framework, lol. Or more specifically a game engine for visual novels.
