Depending on what ensues, the records from other games might go with them.

So I may have unnecessarilly put extra effort into S3DB? -_- I could've spent that 30 minutes or so doing something constructive like skiving from College work. >_>
I apologize for those. A glitch happened in the XX Zone when I was testing that move where I attack with Cheese followed by a jump attack. As a result, the times for the original zones got hit by a glitch where the times froze on that same spot. I can't tell since my copy was a used copy and no info on the original buyer's returning was available. As we speak, I am trying the bosses out again to actually get times that are not glitched (I can't access Boss Attack since my skills at the bonus stages are absolutely nasty so I need to beat the second act of each zone).
[snapback]8015[/snapback]
Using XX Zone=No.
As the Boss have half health. Also that attack is not a glitch, your times however were. And the freezing timer you described is HIGHLY unlikely.

I apologize again. Maybe you were right, but there is no rule in the competition rules stating that XX Zone times are not allowed. This wasn't so much a cheating as it was a rule misunderstanding.
I am really sorry.

I do believe it states "No Easy Mode" in the rules and that "Time Attack Mode" must be used where available. Dont have it? Tough.
Also it amazes me how you could not of realised that the Bosses were taking less hits than usual.
EDIT: Calm down RPG. It's not that serious.
[snapback]8020[/snapback]
I am calm, I am merely taking great length to point out his idiocy because I am in a bad mood :D
I'm getting a little sick of the insolence, extreme sarcasm and deletion of records/accounts without warning. Don't call him an idiot. Come on, it's just not fair.
[snapback]8023[/snapback]
Hey, TSC'd do the same for me :P
And I didnt delete his records, I dont have the authority
*sigh* Please quote me in my previous post where I said "RPG, I'm tired of your insolence, extreme sarcasm and deletion of records/accounts without warning". Can't can you? Well, that's cuz I never said that... I'm speaking of TSC as a whole.
[snapback]8025[/snapback]
Well, as I'm the only other person posting in this now-farce of a topic, I assumed you were talking to me. And in all fairness, if a record is clearly a fake, just plain made up or achieved via 'illegal' means, I dont see on-the-spot deletion as a problem.
It was deleted without notification. I'm sure SM didn't say, "Hey Graham, I'm going to delete your records if you don't explain yourself." Nope, instead, poof, they're gone. I really don't want to get into my views of TSC's policies since I'll somehow come over as being wrong just for sharing my views, so why bother?
[snapback]8027[/snapback]
You cant really have 'wrong' views, everyone's entitled to an opinion dude
I question whether Freestyle in general adds any strategic value.
Come on, nobody plays it, it's only there to stop the idiots from posting uberglitched times in the wrong place. And such uberglitches are covered in the rules anyway.
I say it's time to scrap the entire concept of "freestyle." It's an unnecessary space-filler.
[snapback]8041[/snapback]
But what about those 00ber sub 10 seconds CC1 times? D:
I am not lashing out at you RPG since I really admire your skills, but here is my opinion:
If a rule was written in the "Competition Rules" section, then I follow it. There is only one rule associated with all the SAdv's. This one:
Sonic Advance 1,2,3
On levels which are not available on time attack mode, normal mode - not easy mode - must be used.
Since the rules didn't state that XX Boss times were illegal, I simply did what any other new member would do: submit records based on the rules (my mode was normal) and minded my own business. I even made a guide on how to make fast and swift attacks on the bosses as Cream under the idea that I was doing the right thing. As of this posting, the rule about XX Zone was verbal and not written. I was just following the written rules.
[snapback]8029[/snapback]
All bosses, save the final giant robot, are available in Time Attack mode (once unlocked). Therefore using XX Zone to attain submitted times is a violation of rules that have been clearly stated in the competition rules page for years.
Besides Greham, there are SP Ring guides on the site. :o
They're not that hard to follow either. :o
[snapback]8046[/snapback]
It really isn't the rings part, it's the robot in the special stages. Since the type is new to me, he keeps attacking me and all I really can do is stand there most of the time. After a little bit, I started playing practice rounds of the first special and was able to proceed. That run was the first and only time one of the characters got all Chaos Emeralds on my copy.
I question whether Freestyle in general adds any strategic value.

To put it quite simply, friend, they go *poof* like flour when you hit it with wind.

D: I put small amounts of effort into a few Freestyle times.
Also your sig needs updating :P

Updated and checked. Thanks for noticing!
And I also have to agree with magnum12. The SP Rings were a bit...too much. It almost ruined the spirit of the good ol' Sonic days.
Random Thought:
He might've claimed using XX Zone but that still does not explian:
Greham Adelphis SAdva2 Egg Bomber Tank Cream 0:09:91 1 / 27 12-08-05
Greham Adelphis SAdva2 Egg Totem Cream 0:08:51 1 / 26 12-08-05
[snapback]8061[/snapback]
Both came out of the same place the other two did. XX Zone times.

You did not get those times. using XX Zone or otherwise.
What I said was the truth. Those were (rather shocking) times from XX Zone and not from my head. To explain Egg Bomber Tank, I simply alternated between Cheese and the jump attack to take out the cannon and proceeded to dodge the oncoming bombs to do the same with the Tank itself. Egg Totem was taken out in a similar combo, with the exception that only Hit #3 was a jump attack.
I may have misunderstood the rules and submitted false times, but one thing I never do is make up times.
[snapback]8068[/snapback]
My bad, sorry about that, I didnt take something into account there. You have my sincerest apologies Greham and I hope you can accept them.
