Piccolo What If chapter "Android 17" is bugged

[Walrider]

I fought 17 then Cell appeared, I killed Cell on time and then started fighting 17 again and while i was about to kill 17 the dialogue where Piccolo tell 17 to flee started playing and Cell absorbed him...

rip

How do you even kill Cell on time? Even spamming sparked i usually can only land the final attack to kill barely on time for 17s flee line

Don't struggle too much against Imperfect Cell as that will trigger the canon event route. Once you have defeated him fast with enough time against 17, beat 17 quickly.(If you took his life bare near low, he'll spawn back where his health left off)

Dont use the ultimate. The specials that have a cutscene dont actually stop time its really dumb. I just use sparking for easier and stronger combos and i use Light Grenade

Yeah but the amount is so little against those ai that parry absolutely everything even tho i counter his parries itwastes too much time. So its basically a coin flip on how much they are going to counter and waste time except if there is something to prevent parries, vanishes, counters that i dont know of

You have to beat 17 quickly too, otherwise Cell recovers.

100% bugged
It's a tight window, but I've managed to kill Cell twice and gotten his defeat line, but the dialogue still plays, and the mission ends prematurely while fighting 17 again.
