The challenge would be clear once the screen fades at the end of Doomsday Act 2 (Death Egg 2's Second Boss, for those not in the know.)Doug I thought you were smarter than that. :(
I am so in.
Everyone practice Marble. I want a whole bunch of people actually reaching S3&K!
S3&K-S was a really close race a few days ago... is it that much to ask to get another close race?
RPG
Spinny (Maybe)
Doug
SJ
FKE (Maybe)
Mike
Aita
Thorn
Werster
Sondow
Eredani (Probably)
Miles
Crowbar
Fuzzerd (Probably)
Cruizer
Achlys
Yoshifan (Maybe)
SonicAD
Proposal: a 10/7/4/2/1 sitewide point bonus for the top 4 places and finishing the race.Doug is not pro this plan (despite it giving him 10 points for sure >_>); sitewides should be about our core competition, it excludes people unable to compete, more party pooping reasons, etc. How about custom awards? They seem the ideal way to recognise this, and then you can extend the principle to all sorts of extra-curricular activities. Maybe some custom siggy photoshopness too?

A part of the core competition could also mean being able to replicate those times on a regular basis. Being able to be the best is one part of being the best. Another is being able to consistently repeat those results. This is why i see Rolken's proposal to be very effective (even though i won't have a chance to get in the top 4)

You still get a point providing you finish!
That becomes a problem with people who gameover 5 or 10 times. That bonus point should be for people who gameover under a certain amount of times.

Might I suggest zero?
Yes, that might mean there are no bonus points awarded... but damn, you -should- have to earn it.
You are right douglas...But i need to practice S2 before i think of getting to the end without GO'ing.
Also Judging from the times people have been getting lately. Here are my predictions REAL-TIME-wise.
Sonic 1: Leader will finish within 20 minutes
Pack will finish between 20-32 minutes
Last Will finish within 35 minutes
Sonic 2: Leader will finish within 60 of starting marathon
Pack will finish between 65-95 minutes
Last will finish within 100 minutes
Sonic 3&K : Leader will finish within 120 minutes of starting marathon
Top 5 will finish within 130 minutes
Pack will finish between 130-160 minutes
Last Will finish within 165 minutes.
As for my other predictions:
1st: mike89 - I haven't seen him race but i know of his capabilities
2nd: RPG - Shows loads of promise with winning S1 and S2 races recently
3rd: Miles - Has been consistent with keeping up or ahead of RPG
4th: SJ - His performance in S1 and S2 tonight has actually made me thin he has potential
5th: wersterlobe - Providing he does not game over, werster stands to be a threat to everyone. S3&K will be his strength whereas in S1 and S2 he will sit nice and high within the pack.
Others:
flyby: Will give it her all in S1 and S2.
DsS: Our champion has to good at these old games right?
SonicAD: MY choice for Underdog.
Thorn: I've only heard good about him
FuzZerd: He will seriously catch up in S3&K
Upthorn: Has the capabilities of NOT game overing thus putting him high up.
Myself: I am trying my best to not game over in any level. I feel i'll sit nice and firmly within the pack in S1 and S2 and then blast away at S3&K. I';ll need at least one continue for S2 and S3&K to stay in the top 10.
Iceman: He finished Sonic 1 thrice without gameover once, he gameovered once for Sonic 2 at Death Egg, he gameovered once at Sonic 3 on the Last boss there, and once on the last boss of Sonic and Knuckles (not Doomsday). So I belive he can do it!
Well douglas, you have to remember Miles is competing, who's the current SDA record holder. I think we may also have stanski on board, whose record speaks for itself. The first two games aren't going to be a cakewalk :PI'm very well aware of that and fully expect to be destroyed everywhere; my point merely was that I'm going to suck sufficiently badly at S3&K that to be anywhere I have to be out front to start with and as such I have to attack S1 and S2 hard (although a slow-and-steady don't-GO-at-any-cost approach might actually bring me back into play . . . hmm, what to do . . .).
I think that giving sitewide points as a prize is not a good idea. TSC's charts measure how good are players when they play a level, circuit or mini-game over and over again. Races measure how consistent are players when they play a whole game or games.
A player can compete on a game now or in the future.
I thought Charts is what was supossed to give sitewide points to the players...
I mean, not everyone has those old games or they are'nt very good at them, so you're giving adavntage to the best players of those Genesis games.
Give another price, an Award title, or a 'Emerald badge thing' to punt in your signature
Not every country has the same hour so maybe some players might not be able to compete on it cause of the time difference.
j3s a Sonic Race,at least its not like Sonic R

Do clarify, please, just in case I'm misinterpreting.
Unless we count Cruizer as having properly GO'd,

All participants would begin at Sonic 1, and progress to Sonic 2 once they clear Final Zone.
Then they would dash through Sonic 2, and progress to Sonic 3&K after they clear Death Egg.
The challenge would be clear once the screen fades at the end of Doomsday Act 2 (Death Egg 2's Second Boss, for those not in the know.)
Yes, aitamen, I added 62 minutes to his time. That is why his time for sonic 1 is so far behind the others.
