I have heard that some people are affected by the issue you're describing, but since I've not had this problem myself I can't really help you there.

I have switched the priority to In-Game time for this game, in order to better reflect the fastest times for the game.

Why IGT over RTA, you ask? If RTA was used, getting a :24 and getting a :30 in the first act would be about the same because of the time bonus.

I support.

I know I've been double checking just to make sure I didn't upload the wrong one in the past, so would be a solid help.

Change the rules.

It doesn't actually matter to me very much either way (since no matter what I'd want to improve by a significant amount in terms of my own run), but it's probably better moving forward.

I have an idea of sorts.

Obviously, the way we are keeping it right now, it will get cluttered as more versions come in, so what if we instead put older significant versions of Vanilla SRB2 into their own little "sub-games" using the ROM hacks/mods section (where we have TMR currently)?

Perhaps this way we could keep the newest version of SRB2 up front, and also not have to keep deleting runs whenever a new version comes out (and overall it won't be a clusterfuck of categories up front, at least), but move them instead.

That said, I entirely understand Inuyasha's viewpoint, though it's still meh to trash runs every time a new version comes out, in my opinion.

I wanna take the wait and see stance here. It might be worth it to keep 2.1.14 around as I'm personally feeling 2.2 may prove to be a significant update, regardless of whenever it gets released (but I don't think it will be that soon)

I'm out of the loop when it comes to what the Sonic peeps do here, but afaik the mods had no intention of adding IL boards to any of the Sonic games here. Dunno if that sentiment has changed, but it probably hasn't.

First, thanks for the reply :)

1. Not entirely bothered either way, so, fine with me.

2. Alright, this response was about what I figured. Kinda doubting there will be another 2.1 update unless it's a pressing matter, since I've heard of some things being held back to 2.2, but just because it's a low possibility doesn't mean it won't happen, so that seems fair.

3. Fair enough. I've personally tried a Tails Ultimate run, and my best attempt ended right before the end of ER2. I'm not ready for Ultimate Sonic yet D:

4. I can see what you mean; it's really not a "bad" category by any means, but it's something I wouldn't expect very many people to even attempt, if that. For what it's worth, I don't intend on running that personally. Never been much of an emblem collector in SRB2, really.

5. Welp, bad timing got ya. Ah, well, no worries, you got it fixed now, so all's well.

I think you've addressed my queries well enough otherwise; if I think of anything else, I'll certainly ask then.

I'm just curious of a few things about how this game is set up here (since I do intend to submit runs at some point), so I figure I'd ask.

1. Is it necessary to put Sonic Robo Blast 2 in each category name? Seems kinda redundant imo.

2. Does v2.1.x imply that any 2.1 version can be used? It can at least be interpreted that way, and considering how categories for older versions are set up, it gives off an inconsistent message.

3. I'm assuming from how the only run that currently exists was submitted that a) You don't intend to have Ultimate Mode categories for other characters (not that I'm asking for them, just curious) and b) You don't consider any% and Ultimate Mode to be the same thing, even though they kinda are.

4. Do you actually think anyone will do 160 emblems? :P

5. It's not v1.0.9.4, it's v1.09.4 for the sake of accuracy. You can verify that here if you'd like https://www.srb2.org/download/historic-downloads/

It is a legitimate strategy; therefore, it's allowed.

There's no reason to ban it because it's just an "alternate exit", so to speak. The game will still continue normally after that.

So others know what is being mentioned here, is what is being referred to.

In the 2012 version of this game, it is possible to glitch the final boss (the Super Sonic fight) in such a way that you hit him more times than you need to, and must die as a result, because the results screen will not come up despite the screen going to white.

To avoid this, take caution to your final hits toward the boss, and make sure you get far away from the boss once the final hit is made. This will ensure that the results screen will come up, finishing your run.

Hopefully knowing this will cause one less run-ender for you :)
