Competition Central / Freestyle mode or what?
« on: February 15, 2004, 07:26:41 pm »
[EDIT] After discussing the matter, it appears that the trick in question bears a high resemblance to the "move cancellation" techniques found in many different arcade-style fighters. This would not deem it objectionable enough to be separated or banned.

Beef / Where's the gamegear section for times?

Throw in a game list and level list, along with any special information (e.g. levels that don't track time), and it could happen.

I actually don't use the invincibility in Marble 2, since you can get over the pit without it (moving block -> floating block 1 -> floating block 3) and by getting it, you'll be unable to pull the spike-jumping trick since you're immune to spikes at that time.

Alternately, you could leave the charts as they are, but introduce a "System" attribute in the form of a drop-down tab that can be filled in on those levels that need it.

If you want that, try making a topic called "Super Hard Mode Records Go Here" in that forum.
Just like the Big topic in Adventure.

HOURS? 160 minutes sounds more like the goal.
And thanks to Cybrax's 2:32 PC5, that is done already.

Maybe the 0:25 video was incompletely loaded. Try deleting all instances of the file from your History and Temporary Internat Files, and get it again.
To get 0:55, there's a nifty way around that problem. You can't land on top of the first spiked weight on the first try, but it still plays a role. Just as the bottom edge of the weight (the top of the spikes) passes the same height as the right-side ledge, jump up and intentionally run into the rightmost spike. If it's high enough, you'll be knocked up and to the right...and land on that ledge without having to wait for the spiked weight to drop.

Only if enough people have reasonable doubt.
For example, if I were to claim something like Eternal Engine m1 2:38.99, that time would be accepted without much question. People know that the record has been mine ever since last September, I've touted 2:37 as "a definite possibility", and while I don't feel a need to play that level anymore, that's something they wouldn't know.
Now suppose some random player joins and immediately claims a 2:34. Besides the 40% chance that we can prove a lie immediately, that player would have to know exactly what he's talking about, and make every attempt to provide a video or at least a picture of the victory screen.

http://db.gamefaqs.com/.txt gives the same message, and wouldn't lead to any page even if there was no restriction.
In cases like this, you normally link to the game index page that contains all FAQs for that game (hint: it won't start with a "db").

Information Kiosk / Is 2.3 already being tried?
« on: February 12, 2004, 12:35:47 pm »
First, I had to use www.soniccenter.org: leave out the WWW and it's a white page that says "Mozilla Firefox rocks your socks."
Second, the times seem to be there, but in the left-hand frame it says "Sonic 1" with no Videos link and a New link that has () with nothing in the parentheses, followed by SQL error.
So is this an early 2.3 test, or an unexpected bug?

I figured the S3TA rule might get misinterpreted, so I had it phrased as "On Balloon Park, you must hit at least one balloon on each lap."
And that, along with some Adventure 2 rules, was supposed to be labelled Freestyle.

Eighteen minutes ago, the ever-looming barrier was broken.
Pyramid Cave 3 2:47.00 cuts 10+ seconds and gives me Adventure 2 total time of 2 hours 59 minutes 51.70 seconds, non-SC.
With this ranking down, I guess it's time to move on and improve standing in the points side of things.

Green Hill seems a lot like Shade.
As for me, I concur: people like Green Hill and prcorby89 do not need to have their times honored by this site.
