I have the trilogy, thank you very much.
Visit my profile to see my runs!
...I'm just going to meander out onto a limb here and guess that Radix was suggesting not to confuse Twin Galaxy rules with SDA's, or even assume that they are somehow mutually dependent [which they are not].
Now a hit show on the CW
Yeah, sorry about that. I knew that TG didn't allow it, and I just assumed that Radix didn't either. My bad Tongue

Some people do submit to both TG and SDA (TSA for example)  Both of Richard Ureta's (MM 2 & SMB 3) are through TG's rules.

Right, that's why I was confused.

Don't worry about it, Arrow.  MatrixTN is correct, of course, but Radix does operate independently of Twin Galaxy rules.  Generally, the rules are relatively equivalent, but Radix does reserve the right to make his own, distinct exceptions.  Smiley

Thank goodness. Wink

There's my preparations complete. Just looking at my exam schedule my school holidays start three weeks from today. [Sunday, March 19th] Then comes the speedruns, assuming I can get well enough accustomed to the GameCube controller for Sonic...


Just one week before Mike can resume speedrunning!  Grin

I'm suprised that people have had trouble with the Gamecube controller when playing Sonic. I haven't had any difficulty. (At least with the analog stick. I can see people having trouble with the D-pad due to it's size.)

I played the cube version of SMC before I got the PS2 version myself but I don't remember having any problems either.  I don't know which direction of control my friend prefers for that matter.

I still don't know what I'm going to prefer. I'll have to do some messing around beforehand.

Speaking of which, I had the intention of starting my Sonic speedrun from a used file with all Chaos Emeralds collected, and one Super Emerald. Collecting a Super Emerald would prevent you from changing into Super Sonic, so it has no effect on game play besides letting you play the Doomsday Zone at the end of the game (which wouldn't count towards the final time, much like NintenDan's Sonic Advance speedrun didn't count Moon Zone).

Is this an acceptable scenario?
usually the first person who does a run decides with the community if applicable what the category is going to be like. that sounds like an acceptable methodology for any% to me.

Damn it, thats genious. Why didn't I think of that?

Can you enter doomsday after loosing all Emeralds (to activate the Super emeralds)?
Yes you can.  You will only be in your Super form rather than Hyper of course but you still go into the Doomsday zone.
OH noo, that's a hell of a plot hole  Grin
The whole chaos/super emerald thing is.  Still its more of a gameplay issue than a plot thing so I would not think about it too much.
sonic games have plot?
You would be amazed how many people would launch straight into a 5 page long post in response to that.

Still I would have thought that Sonic has a pretty big plot for a platform game.  Not Final Fantasy standard or anything like that, but they are RPGs.
Rock on, Earthbound. Rock on.

I guess that would be acceptable, but I'm rather of the opinion that it'd be easier to just start with a clean file.  Especially if Doomsday won't count towards the end time anyway, may as well not even bother with it.

And yes, Sonic games have plot.  Not enough to get in the way, but enough so that if you're looking for it you can appreciate it.
Isn't it cute?

He he! I'd be one of those people that would give a 5 page response. But I'll spare you guys the trouble.
I would prefer to just have the game end at Death Egg. Leave Doomsday to an all emerald run.

I kind of agree. If it's not going to count for the timing, why even bother?

As far as Sonic's plot is concerned, let's just say it has more than the Mario series, but less than almost everything else >_<

I tried to get another practice Sonic run out today because my previous one was pretty bad... Here's a couple more bloopers, if you like (note that the MG1 one was set up, but the CN1 one is just ridiculous).

Oh, and I think I'll scrap my plans to play the Doomsday Zone.
I was actually looking forward to seeing someone really good  at the game do the Doomsday Zone, but that's just me.  I guess Super Sonic's probably slower than Hyper Sonic anyway(then again, maybe not as when I, erm, inserted Tails into the Doomsday Zone he seemed to go as fast as Sonic which was jointly faster than Knuckles- game forcing Tails into his non-existant Hyper form or the two are the same speed).
