Title: Sonic Colors Charts Impending, Possible Race
Post by: Thorn on November 17, 2010, 08:04:22 pm
The subject says it all, but I'll elaborate anyway.

1stKirbyever and I have both achieved 100% completion of the Wii game and have enough knowledge to make the charts. My biggest concern is that there is only one recorded time/score stat per level even though the unlockable option creates the need for TSC to make two for all except Game Land, bosses, and Egg Shuttle, but we'll probably use our old standby of "well you'll just have to write down your stats or memorize them". I feel like I'm tainting my records and the leaderboards if I use said option, but that's just me being strange... or maybe it's because a six-second Asteroid Coaster 3 feels really, really underwhelming.

With regards to the DS game, the only thing left to figure out there is if the Multiplayer vs. CPU stages are worth tracking. TSC precedent says yes, but we have one vocal opponent to this, so you might try chiming in with your opinion now. Charts will not be delayed just because we need an answer to this question: when one of us admins decides to make the charts, we'll make them even if nobody's answered yet, so speak up soon.

For both versions, charts should be up soon. Thanksgiving holiday gives me the 23rd, 24th, and 25th off from work and classes, so if I or another admin haven't made charts by this time, it'll happen then.



In other Colors news, this game still needs a TSC Race Night. I'm thinking of holding one for the Wii version's Egg Shuttle on the 23rd, since it'll be a week after the North American release and any later will see people miss the race due to Thanksgiving. If the DS version players want to get a race going, I'd suggest sometime on the 23rd or 24th for the same reasons.

EDIT: It'll probably happen at the usual time: 7 PM EST.

Ben hates VS CPU mode because it fucking sucks too

Yeah, vs cpu levels are an abomination. They're basically just multiplayer for people who don't have anyone to play against, I don't see any reason why they should be put up on TSC.

Are they trackable and do they offer competition value?

Again, we chart things that are horrible to play, so if that's the only argument... 

(That said, I have the Wii version, and so am ignorant of it...  will look up vids at some point...)

They offer competition value in the same way that being punched in the dick offers sexual pleasure - some strange deviants might enjoy it but the general populace will tell you to fuck off.

RPG you fail to notice that we are the equivalent of VG sexual deviants...  You tell most people to try to get things that we do, and they might try, but they'll almost certainly give up, because of the dedication involved.

Again, I'm asking if it's chartable and you don't want it because you don't want to do it, or if it's not chartable, or what.  From what you've said it's chartable and the only reason not to is because you don't find the gameplay toward the stat enjoyable.

in which case, I vote we have S06, Hereoes, and Riders removed, and have Sonic Shuffle added immediately!

Aita: Essentially, It's a toned down version of Rivals, just with attacks that get you whereever you are. They also don't save any times, so that's just another nail in its coffin. While it may be trackable, it'll just be too much of a hassle to have on the charts, due to long, boring and essentially trollworthy angst. See SRA Extra for further reference.

Since I've been incredibly busy this past week, what time will the race be held tomorrow? I've been trying to get everything done so I can join the race and it would help to know the exact time and perhaps the date depending if you decided to move it or not. Also, bump.

I can't to play Sonic Colors. From all the speed runs that I saw it looks like a very fast game. The power-ups makes the game fast to. I hope I will get both versions of Sonic Colors since I do have both a Wii and a DS.
