Hi. Soon i'm gonna start my sonic advanture DX run, but i need to know something. I was planning to do the levels for sonic in 10 segments, in which some segments have stages + some bosses/minigames. Well, i tested this again and found out it would be insane to do it this way. The stages are rock-hard and for them i'd need to sacrifice a few seconds on boss battles unfortunately. Do you belive it's okay if i go ahead and do each stage/boss/mini-game separately in one segment (i probably can do some together, for example i can do sky act chase 2 after red muntain)?

Well, from what I know there isn't a limit to how much you want to segment as long as each segment ends at a save point and doesn't abuse any "warp" that would benefit your overall time.

Esspecially since one of those Splinter Cell runs had like 53 segments. Also, mind providing any details on your overall time so far? Wink

Argh, you always speed run a game that I don't have. I can't enjoy watching them (considering your GX videos are not awesome at all  Roll Eyes Just joking  :))
Iowa, lol. You tell me what games you have and i'll see if i can do a speedrun for one Tongue

No idea what i'll get. I'll try to keep the times as close as possible to the WRs on sonic central. I'm not starting this until i finish record my american mcgee's alice hard mode run though.

Metroid prime sub one hour? Or Metroid prime 2 sub 1H45. As you want  Tongue


For that many segments, like one for each level, you might as well do individual level runs.
Well i'd rather do the adventure mode over individual level runs any day. You got individual level runs on sonic center already.

Yeah, that's basically the reason why I never bothered with SADX. Also, because the game was so poorly made, that glitches are just..so common. Makes me wanna just slap Sonic Team for not cleaning that up. =\

Yea that's another big reason why i can't do most levels together. Some times you may just glitch through a fence and screw up everything, and i know that that's no fun.

Well, we are talking about a game that argueably has the worst camera system. Ever. And a simple "auto" and "free" feature doesn't help the problem. Just gave new shortcut abuse.
Oh come on, the camera angles aren't that bad. A lot of other games have had way worse.
The only part I would really complain about is the snake part in lost world, but even that can go pretty smoothly with some free camera skills.

by the way, in Chao garden, did you know the camera can push fruit if its at the bottom of the screen? Something stupid and unrelated I thought I'd add in there.
The camera IS crappy, but i've learned to live with it and now it isn't that bad. The major reason this game is so hard to speed is because it's so glitchy, and the camera sometimes likes showing a terrible angle. However, i've decided to use more segments to do adventure mode. I should pretty well manage to do most levels with some mini-games (e.g. ice cap + sonic vs. knuckes and sky chase 1 or red mountain + sky act chase 2).

I realise this game for sonic could easily go sub 50 minutes, so i'll try to do the game in as little segments as i can manage. I realised i could very well do tails' story in a single segment, and that's probably what i'll do. Since super sonic's story is 5 minutes long not doing it single segments would be stupid Tongue
