Look, losing a run is painful. It's the worst feeling in the world. So let's share our misery with clips, highlights, and other such things. Here's mine that happened this morning:

I thought I would finish the game later than my personal best. I decided to end it earlier than my patience.

i hate floating capsules

I have no clue what I did to make this happen but here's a nice softlock in SSZ1

@Reprogrem. Bosses that follow you and are mobile everywhere can do that. its possible but rare. I had that happen to metal sonic who didnt get in the machine until i walked to it. Also he was behind the spikes for a bit so i just walked ahead and he was there. But that hi watt boss would have made me quit the run more than missing the chemical plant 1 skip

My second playthrough took a couple of minutes to figure out what was going on with Metal Sonic. He just wouldn't get in the damn machine. Glad it didn't happen on my first run or I'd have been totally lost.

i think this speaks for itself....

@ganglemon Dude I saw that live and just... OOGH. That hurts my soul to see.

This was so painful...I always thought the air bubbles were on cycles; I guess not

I HATE waiting for air bubbles. They're NEVER there when you need them.

I guess I'll share the fun on the run ending front. This one's from a while back, but damn it got me good

@werster How is that considered a crush death?!?

I once had the gun in Mirage Saloon 1 kill me. I ALWAYS grab the checkpoint before it now.

Anyway, you aren't the only one with air bubble problems:

I tried doing a Blue Sphere Ironman run when this happened:

Please dont tell me im the only one.

Yep, that's happened to me.

So this happened yesterday; Metal Sonic just decided he didn't want to go to his room

this could have killed my run.

But here is one that ACTUALLY did

This was THE run, and this happened. I was on sub 1:05 pace too -.-

it is hard , but in my first time playing sonic mania i had the same problem and I went down that wall to survive
