Are you allowed to pause the game to use the bathroom and such during an ss?

Should be.  Since this is a game that shows a timer, that shouldn't be a problem.  Nate can edit the pause out (or most of it).

That's enough to blow Suzaku's out anyway (even though his was Sonic solo).  I'd go for sub-22 at this point.

I'm thinking of trying sub 22 with no tails. That would be quite a challenge, but I think its do-able (just would lose 25 seconds on metropolis i bet).

In suzaku's defense, everyone just wanted a sonic 2 run up (from what I've read) and no one was willing to do it. I'm a lot more commited to getting a good run than just "we want something with a lot of skill but also we just want something on the site."
... especially given there's already a run up this time.

God damn that is win. That beats me by a full 50 seconds!

Mostly, as far as I can see, due to risks I didn't dare take (OO2 and DE come to mind - 43 seconds improvement on those two alone).

Just work more on Metro and you should have no problems beating 22 minutes.

Also submit your times to TSC! =P
wise fwom yo gwave
Yea, those 2 levels really helped, but I don't think i beat you by that much considering you blew off 2 levels to save real time (cp1 and az1). Don't I need video evidence to submit on tsc? I'll check it out, so don't bother answering that.
Although it helps, proof is not required when submitting records to TSC. The only time you'll need to show proof is if we suspect your records are fake, but I doubt that will be a problem for you

Also, wow, you beat mike. Smiley




wise fwom yo gwave
I beat mike on a practice run... hehe
wise fwom yo gwave
1. i hate tails. I am almost to the point of making a site called "killtails.com" showing off stupid flashes of killing him/stupid ways of killing him in the actual game. He pisses me off so much.

2. I did a run of metro 3 in 2:12. Thats the last run I'm really able to beat, I'm done working on all the levels and I can at least match the records from this site on every level.

3. I hate oil ocean 2. I've died/lost the glitch in 4 consecutive ss's. Look at the times for one of them up until there:
gh:20
40
24
1:03
26
52
33
1:06
55
1:17
42
55
46
BLAH!!!!

I nearly cried after I lost the glitch. Seriously.
wow, that sucks. in a way though it's good that you're having so much trouble there, because that's like two thirds of the way through the game.
wise fwom yo gwave
yea, but then you have the most likely time wasters in the game, the metropolis levels, and the hardest level, death egg, still to go.

i've died 2 times on death egg so far on pretty good runs. Its to be expected, but it really sucks to screw up on him (and i've practiced it so much there is no way i should die).
i guess just try not to think about not thinking about screwing up, if that makes any sense. learned this in band in high school, but it makes sense for anything competitive really. there will come a point when you just do it without even considering that if you make a mistake, it'll all be over, and when that time comes, i will be one proud son of a bitch.
I love YaBB 1G - SP1!
To make this most painful run even more painful...

nitjsua just made an improved TAS run out of the blue.  It's exactly 2 minutes faster than Quietust's currently published run, although it uses both characters.

Happy speedrunning.

Doesn't really matter. When it comes to Sonic speedrunning, I doubt anyone here compares us to the TAS, rather they compare us with the Sonic Center.
He's back!
There was some very interesting glitches in it that might be usable in a speedrun take Oil Ocean and Metropolis for example.

I'm going to view the run now and tell you what i think/what i think it will help me with, if at all.


How can you compare us to the sonic center when literally there is
1. no proof at the sonic center of nearly all the runs  
2. there is not a single ss on the site
3. everything is done with emulators

Since I'm practicing this game so much and already planning 2 runs (one with tails, one without), would you guys like to see an all chaos emerald with tails run? Idk how the heck i'd even start planning the routes, as they'd be completely different/we'd have to plan out rings as well, but after i get these runs done within the next 2 months, i'd like to do every run of sonic 2 i can while i still have the timing. sonic 1 is not off my mind either, but we've gotta see what runs mike is going to do of old sonic games first. Maybe a knuckles run of sonic 2 could be in the picture as well.

I'd definitely check out a Knux run if anyone does one.

ok, i don't care if i spend months doing it, that trick on chemical 2 is  so sick, i have to do it!

ok, and a lot of the stuff to speed it up from the last tas is very hard/impossible to do in real play so it will make my run look that much worse... blah!

OH MY F'ING GOD OIL OCEAN IS SICK! Anyone reading this thread has GOT to download this just to see those 2 levels.

The shortcut in hill top 1  might be possible in real play, but i'd doubt they allow it. I'm going to test out the shortcut in mystic caves 1 as well.

I never thought there were so many places for shorter routes like this for a tas. I figured the levels were pretty well done, but this blows the other tas away.

And I never thought about getting 3 hits in that way at the beginning on death egg (not that sitting in robotniks sprite is easy to pull off without dying). If I could somehow get 3 hits in, 12 hits on the first pass could be possible... Metropolis doesn't really help me, as it saves time but looks impossible to pull off.

HOLY SHIT!!!! SECOND TRY ON CHEMICAL 2, I PULLED IT OFF!

Sorry for the caps, but i just saved about 20 seconds on m run. It was terrible besides the shortcut, and still came in at 44!!!! Now I just need to record!

Where is the imp'd tas?  It's not on TASvids.

There's no AVI video yet, as it was just submitted.

Whoever sends in a single-segment run should win SDA speedrunner of the year. 

Or better yet, let nitjsua do the ss-run here.
wise fwom yo gwave
Why should nin's skills doing a tas be compared to the skills of a speedrunner? completely different skillset.

Look on new submissions of tasvideos

42 is my new time for chemical plant 2, and its sticking. 41 is maybe humanly possible, but i did everything really good.

cool. i'm trying to get your already done stuff up asap but school is being a bitch.
wise fwom yo gwave
yea, sorry for beating that level time because its more work for you, but its 20 seconds... thats a huge improvement when the level is only a minute to begin with.
no it's no problem. capture has really been reduced to braindead with dvd. it's the encoding that is a pain in the ass now, and i will just ignore anything you've since beaten when i post these.
