Texas, USAThanks man! When I finally get the game, that will be the thing I run mostly.
In my opinion. yes it would. It's technically like a "Good ending v. Bad Ending" case as well.
When I got the game, the main thing I was planning on running was going to be All Emeralds Sonic Only.
I can't wait for someone to submit this game for Awesome Games Done Quick 2018!
Metaler, I would just resubmit it to the Green Hill Zone Act 1 level leaderboard so that it can be approved, and let the moderators deny your accidental full-game run.
Well there are glitches and then there are just skips, and most of the time you're just skipping, so having glitchless won't really make for much of a change in that formula. But Glitchless would still be something to keep in mind (I think we should wait until more glitches are found and I mean MORE glitches).
Alright, an interesting find...
Typically you wouldn't want to be on the lower route, but now you can use this as a back-up.
Nice man! And thanks, dude!
I just hope we can get a stable leaderboard so we can be able to submit to AGDQ 2018 much easier.
Great, I can't wait to see you run the game!
Here is the discord. Are you interested in speedrunning the game? If so, then that's wonderful that we are getting more and more people!
I'm not a mod, but I would discuss some of this stuff as well...
I've only really been on speedrun.com speedrunning for about two years at most (if that even...), but I have watched many speedruns. MANY speedruns (heck, watching many Games Done Quick events was what got me into speedrunning!). And so I think that I would also be able to help out a small bit with somethings here (I don't know how much, but I will try regardless...).
I think people waiting for the PC version is just because of the fact that the PC version will have optimizations that the console versions just aren't powerful enough to handle, but I agree with the fact that waiting for full-game runs just because of the PC version doesn't really make sense at all...
I think one of the first things we should put on here are the ILs. That way we can start submitting some runs that are already done...
As for categories, what I thought was a good idea as main categories for full-game are Bad Ending and Good Ending (depending on the chaos emeralds). I originally said Any % and 100 % with those two as well, but I think 100 % would take forever with the bonus stages and having to get perfects. For subcategories I was saying the different character combinations (which include Sonic only, Sonic & Tails, Tails only, Knuckles only, and MAYBE also Sonic & Knuckles, Tails & Knuckles, and Knuckles & Knuckles).
Lots of interesting things, keep it up!
Dude, is level wrapping in the game or was it just dumb death awaiting you? If you could level wrap with that, that would be very useful.
Also, for Cythertime, I have the feeling that you may have just barely hit the ring capsule and because of that, the camera triggered but you were still on the stage. That's my guess, anyway...
-
Yes, while I believe Knuckles is the hard version, and Sonic is intermediate (there's also Sonic with Tails, let's not forget that...)
-
Officially, that's called the drop dash, and it will certainly be useful for speedruns of this game!
-
Special Stages
-
I haven't seen falling off, but running out of rings automatically ends the special stage and you have to try again.
-
I'm fairly certain Mach 3 is really all you need, especially considering how long it would take to get to Mach 4 in the game. Easier to control and still much faster than the UFO.
-
Unless we plan on having 100 % (and I guess Any % to go with that) as main categories, I wouldn't exactly recommend the bonus stages for runs of the game. They waste time.
9.I'm fairly certain that all of the zones have mini-bosses after Act 1.
-
Except for the regular shield. Also if you hit the button you use to drop dash, you can dash through the air (sorry, don't have the game so I don't know what the button layout would be...)
-
You can also bounce by hitting the button you use to drop dash.
-
(Electric Shields) allow you to double jump by hitting the drop dash button in mid-air. Also, I think all elemental shields reflect projectiles.
-
Well in some cases I don't know about BACKWARDS, but they at least slow you down a lot.
I REALLY want to run this game, but unfortunately it MIGHT be a while before I can run it (especially since I need it on PC to do so...)
I also hope that we can get this game into Awesome Games Done Quick 2018!
I guess to suggest main categories, we can say Any % Bad Ending, Any % Good Ending, 100 % (which practically means good ending), and for subcategories make it each character choice (including Sonic & Tails, maybe Sonic & Knuckles, maybe Tails & Knuckles, and maybe Knuckles & Knuckles...)
For ILs, we could do what we have right now as categories plus Sonic & Tails. And ILs could honestly be either both acts or just one act (honestly I would prefer in-game time for ILs, meaning just doing one act at a time) (we could also use the time trials mode for the game).
I'm glad someone got a leaderboard up immediately for this game, it took a while for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to get put on speedrun.com, which annoyed me a lot...
I think that instead of All Missions being the default category, the default category should be All Normal Missions, since it has a run and no one's really considered doing an All Missions or 100 % run...
Hey guys! This just in: the scrapped Time Trial mode for Mater-National will be with a new release of the Hi-Octane mod, so we will add that to the leaderboards. It will be a "best lap" kind of thing where you can submit a video of you doing it and you can use it. We need to fix the "infinite" race issue, but we will be able to do that eventually.
My laptop is currently the "better of two evils" for me. I have to practice that third skip in Welcome to Africa, because for whatever reason, I can't seem to get that down, even though I thought I had.
