Title: Shadow the Hedgehog Rankings Suggestion
Post by: Spinballwizard on November 17, 2005, 10:30:30 pm

So, after playing the Shadow the Hedgehog for a couple hours (and getting pissed at Mad Matrix), I've decided to give a suggestion for the ShTH chart:

I'd probably go with the Time/Bosses/Scores/Rings Division theory here.

Then veer off into levels obviously.

The 3 level divisions would be Dark, Normal, and Hero, as defined by the missions.

So a new record would go something like:
New Record: Spinballwizard got 16:xx:xx on ShTH / Times / Glyphic Canyon / Hero

And yes, it took me 16 minutes.


I also think that Normal will be a lot easier to TA at the moment, only because it just involves getting to the Goal Ring and not finding stuff, though I've only played four levels, and I only know the ones we currently have via the Shadow site.

EDIT: It appears some zones will lack Hero/Dark divisions. I don't have a full list of them yet, but I'm pretty sure they're all the border zones on the ShTH in-game level map. Lost Impact is one of them.

That was all mostly what I was grabbing at. I don't have Shadow with me until week after next so I can't figure out what all the X-d objectives are.

All I know is it took me 10+ minutes to finish Westopolis's Dark mission and 3 to blaze through Normal. Also if Westopolis is indicative of anything, the keys are so not worth it.

Also I have found that some bosses are used several times and have slightly different environments and strategies.

I faced the Egg Breaker twice on my latest run-through D:

Known bosses with  views (views could be the final division):
Black Bull: Lethal Highway
Egg Breaker: Cryptic Castle, Mad Matrix, Iron Jungle
Egg Dealer: Black Comet, Cosmic Fall
Blue Falcon: The ARK

Egg Breaker is also in Cryptic Castle. Black Bull (as far as I know) is in Lethal Highway and Death Ruin. Sonic and Diabon (I think thats the name, I've been doing all of the dark endings first to get them out of the way) is in Gun Fortress, Black Comet, and Final Haunt. Egg Dealer is also in Lava Shelter. So far, I've gotten 2:30 in Westopolis (normal), but I know I can do better than that.

My current PR in Westopolis Normal is 2:37:84. I know I can cut that down significantly, actually.

Also I remembered the Egg Breaker at CC after remembering I saw it at TSS yesterday (and they still can't play). I've only done 2 stories so far, having only accessed 10 levels (went to Mad Matrix twice).

I need to play through the bottom last level and get the keys because there are ~6 key doors in that level. :o

2:00:60 for me, and that was shockingly bad, I got hit twice at the end and fell off the loop :X

EDIT: 1:55:59. Mistakes.

EDIT2: 1:51:84 Mistakes.

See? I was right. And I knew under 2 minutes was possible too. Own.

Rolken, some of those secret doors will be worth it.

I'll have the rankings up tonight. I would've had them up last night but I was totally wasted. :(
