We should have charts for all missions that aren't redundant. Ideally, they should be created at the same time than the rest of the charts, but that could delay the creation of the new charts, which isn't good. Cruizer, have you unlocked them all yet?

Before you know it, we'll be banning bosses that use luck to determine attack patterns.

I disagree. Remember that we pursue creating more competition with this because many people don't bother with ring attacks because of ? boxes. I don't think this applies to time charts, because they get a lot of attention even when luck is involved.

The possibility of putting a time limit to avoid that problem was suggested, but people said it was still random, and that was the sole reason that ultimately lead to the removal of those charts.

Rules Revisions / Re: ? Boxes

« on: January 03, 2012, 03:50:47 am »

the new charts would be filled with 2 or so stats, probably yours.

I think that in the long term more players would try ring attacking Sonic Advance series if we finally ban ? boxes. Why? Well, compare the number of players here and here.

I don't think that trying to fix errors from the past is a bad idea.

Now you're just creating more problems than you're solving, and moreover being completely unfair to those who have previously submitted stats.

It would be unfair if players couldn't influence in the decision, and that's the reason this poll was created.

Our charts are about the mastery of the game, the maximums possible therein.  Banning things because people feel they're based on luck instead of skill, or for similar reasons of discontent, is contrary to the previously stated purposes of our charts, and inane, so far as I can tell.

That's incorrect. Check our rules and you will realize that you are completely wrong. For example, we have this rule for Sonic Adventure 2 (B): *You may not obtain two speed shoe items within 14 seconds of each other. Edited: Also, we deleted Sonic Heroes' score charts not too long ago when Shadow Jacky discovered they were luck-dependant.

Regarding games that isn't Sonic Advance 3. What would you do about the Scores? Since some games scores are affected by how many rings you have and they happen to have ? boxes in there as well. Other than that I say go ahead and destroy them.

We would do exactly the same than with ring charts; move them to a freestyle category and create new charts for scores achieved without breaking ? boxes.

39

Rules Revisions / Re: ? Boxes

« on: January 02, 2012, 10:54:35 pm »

If we were going to make this ruling we should've down it at first.

I don't think that trying to fix errors from the past is a bad idea.

It's pretty stupid to allow ring boxes in some games, but disallow them in others.

Avoiding certain ? boxes is impossible in some games. I like keeping this site as consistent as possible. However, I don't mind trading some consistency for competition, and I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Not only is that stupid, but unless they break a record you wouldn't even know!

Well, that's the case for many of our rules, and that didn't prevent us from setting them to improve competition. This would be simply another example of the same.

Obviously the idea is that it would create more competition. Allow me to end by saying this idea is misguided.

Do you have any arguments to back up that claim? I, for one, never competed seriously in the ring charts of the handheld Sonic games because of the ? boxes and, if we end up banning them, will ring attack those games quite a lot.

Luck shouldn't be a factor here. There are TONS of places where your time is largely determined by luck (almost all of SA(DX) rings and... probably half the charts on the site really).

The last part of your statement isn't true.

That all depends on what you call luck, Zeupar.

No, it doesn't. It was an exaggeration.

CS1 score is all that's left. I've already presented my case, dunno how everyone else feels though.

In my opinion, we shouldn't add a score chart for Casino Street Zone Act 1 because it involves scalping.

Was talking to werster about it on IRC and to be honest I see no reason why CS2-3 shouldn't have score charts. You see werster tested out the bumpers and got 100 points every 7 seconds. He reckons it'll be 8,700 from them for 10 minutes. Ok let's take francisco's ring stat it was let's say 457 rings. I know it was inbetween 400-500. Then the score would be just over 50k. If you want the highest score on those acts, then you would need to get an 80k bonus and as many rings as you can collect.

If that is true, we should have score charts for those acts.

« on: October 22, 2010, 03:41:01 am »

We've never tracked or not tracked charts based on how interesting their strategies are. It's just plain not relevant and not at all a compelling reason to not track it.

I would like to change that trend, because it should be relevant. That way we wouldn't track pointless charts.

55

Competition Central / Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 competition

« on: October 22, 2010, 03:28:22 am »

score though, we just made a big deal recently (well... a year or two ago at least, I don't remember when exactly) about changing the rules to allow previously banned scalping tricks in the Genesis games because of time over, so at this point to not track score in Casino Street over the same thing would just seem dumb and very inconsistent.

That was to make the rules less random and easier to enforce. I am for deleting all the score charts that involve scalping, but people have spent time trying to get good scores on said charts, so I can see why some people don't agree with me. I haven't tested it yet, but if getting the best possible score in any of the acts of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I involves scalping, I think that adding charts for them wouldn't be a good idea because said charts would measure mainly boredom. I think that consistency is important in a competition site, but adding pointless charts to be consistent with our past mistakes would be stupid.

Some players like seeing the games being pushed to their limits even when it involves boring strategies, but they have the official leaderboards for that.
