General Sonic / Finished my rings TAS.
« on: December 27, 2014, 12:29:52 pm »
Figured I'd post this here too even though it's not related to the competition at all. I had a thread about it a long time ago and you guys were very helpful with any questions I had about certain rings that were harder to get, and I credited a few ring attack players in particular in the notes.
Enjoy and thanks for watching.

Competition Central / S3K: Single segment full game real time ring runs.
« on: December 27, 2014, 10:34:24 am »
So I get that TSC is more about IL's and getting as much out of them as possible, and maybe single segment runs are a better fit for SDA, but right now their S3K section is strictly speedruns, and at the same time this place is pretty much The place where people go to practice ring attacking.
So what do you think about the potential of single segment RA's? Could it ever really become a thing, or is such a thing too hard and not enough people are willing to compete?
The existing rules for ILs would have to be changed a little to make the concept work, of course.
To see even one legit submission I think would be amazing just based on the amount of practice it would surely take to perform. In speedrunning there's a lot of impressive moments and difficult tricks they use, this would be the same but on a larger scale.

Competition Central / Sonic 3&K Questions
« on: September 14, 2013, 08:05:03 am »
In this thread I would just like to post any questions I might have regarding ring totals in S3K and maybe glitches and other stuff as well. I'm posting it here instead of Sonic General, if that's all right, because this seems like the better place to discuss a lot of the more obscure details of a particular game. I hope you all won't mind me asking and will be able to help me out, thanks.
Here's my first question: According to Sonic Zone 0, in ICZ2, there are 479 regular rings + 20 monitor rings = 499 total rings eligible. In my practice run of this act, I did collect 479 rings - but that amount includes the 20 monitor rings. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss 20 rings somewhere, so could it be that SZZ's data is inaccurate? Like maybe they're counting the 20 monitor rings twice? Or is the 479 perhaps including the 17 regular rings which were obtainable only in act 1, but are technically part of act 2? In that case, there's only 462 regular rings obtainable in act 2, + 20 monitor rings = 482, which means I only would have missed 3, which is a lot more feasible than missing 20.
Which brings me to my next question: Even if I did miss 3 rings in ICZ2, it's hard to see where, which makes me wonder if there's not some rings hidden inside a wall somewhere. I know that's the case for SOZ1, there's 3 rings inside a wall and AFAIK only 1 of them can be gotten and only by using the lightning shield. Are there any other levels where this happens? I'm also apparently missing 3 in SOZ2 and I'm not sure why, 361/364, so if there are a few regular rings hidden in the walls in these levels that would be a relief.
TL;DR: I seem to be missing at least 3 rings in ICZ2 and SOZ2 and I don't know where, I think they may be stuck in a random wall somewhere, can anyone verify or any other suggestions? I should mention this is all part of my research for a possible full game TAS RA as Knuckles. I'm choosing not to include rings gained from super rings in this RA, so totals will consist solely of regular rings + monitor rings. Thanks again

Hiya Folks / Hey
« on: September 03, 2013, 11:50:26 am »
Hey everyone. I'm not really here to compete, I hope that's ok. For the last few months, I've been learning to TAS and working on a series of TAS Ring Attacks for S3K, mostly as Knuckles. I'm almost done with all of the individual acts now, so I'm starting to look at doing a full game run, but I still have a lot to learn. Honestly, I only mean to use the forums to ask the occasional question about certain glitches and ring totals for the levels. Please visit my channel if you would like to see any of my movies so far and feel free to message me if you want. Thanks.
