Title: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: Bilan on March 11, 2012, 05:19:39 am
Inspired by the original series for SA2B (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=1508.0)

This is a bit of a wild shot in the dark, as it has been literally years since we had a successful one of these; but I'm hoping the fact that Generations is a) new, b) good and c) has quickly garnered a lot of competition here compared to most recent releases, means that we can get one of these threads rolling and have some good old fashioned fun. Any and all players of all skill levels are welcome to participate! Naturally this is a competition, but the aim above all, as mentioned, is to have some fun.

Competition rules
(These are basically copied from the above topic, so if you read those, feel free to skip this section.)

These challenges will have you performing various, unconventional tasks within levels. According to how well you do, you are assigned a letter rank and then awarded a number of points. There are two types of challenge: Fixed Rank and Competition. Fixed Rank has set boundaries for each Grade, whilst Competition is an 'every-man-for-himself' type affair, where the best player gets the top rank.

Point allocation for grades are as follows:

S: 5 Points
A: 4 Points
B: 3 Points
C: 2 Points
D: 1 Point
E: 0 Points

Challenge Rules

All challenges are to strict deadlines, no allowances will be made unless a genuine reason is given in advance. For example, Player A will be out of town for a week, and will miss a challenge. If they inform me in advance, they can have a little extra time after the deadline of the challenge to 'catch up' and do the challenge. No other exceptions will be made. You have been warned.

Challenges will last for exactly four days after the time of posting; the exception is this first challenge, which will last for seven days instead.

Challenges will typically have participants perform X, with various restrictions. Naturally, breaching these restrictions invalidates the stat.

Submissions and Formating

Submissions can be made either in the thread, or PM'd to me if you want to keep your stat a secret until the deadline (but why would you do that, really?)

While not strictly necessary to do, it is helpful to me if you post your stats in the thread with the following formatting for Fixed Rank Challenges:

Username
Stat
Stat2 (if required)
Rank

And the following formatting for Competition Challenges:

Username
Stat
Stat2 (if required)

Providing Proof

Providing proof of your accomplishments with regards to these challenges is not necessary. Generations is not an easily recordable game, and TSC has a strong history with using the honour system with regards to submissions. Just to reiterate, you are NOT required to post picture/video proof of your challenge stats, however, feel free to do so if it takes your fancy! (I will be for fun :P)

I think that pretty much covers it all, if anyone has any questions, feel free to post them, and so without further ado, here is the first challenge:

Challenge #1: Green Hill Classic - Sk8 Edition

 - Complete Green Hill Classic as fast as possible with the following restrictions:

 - You must have the Boardmaster skill equipped.
 - You must activate the skill as soon as the level starts.
 - You must remain on the skateboard until after you reach the red spring that launches Sonic to the wooden loop that leads into the final section. Losing the skateboard before this point in the level caps your rank for the run to a maximum of a B. For additional clarification, this is the spring next to the Crabmeat, and just after two ring monitors and one life monitor. Extra note, you can go over the top and miss that spring entirely, and your stat is fine.

Ranks

S Rank: Finish in under 1 minute.
A Rank: Finish in under 1 minute 5 seconds.
B Rank: Finish in under 1 minutes 10 seconds.
C Rank: Finish in under 1 minutes 20 seconds.
D Rank: Finish in under 1 minutes 35 seconds.
E Rank: Anything over 1 minutes 35 seconds.

The deadline for this challenge is exactly one week from the posting time of this post, and I will add submitted stats, as well as the rankings to this post when appropriate.

Also, I tested this challenge on console and went over the top route without losing the board and finished in under a minute on the first go. I then tried to record this on PC, and the jump from the spring is insanely hard, so I altered the challenge rule slightly so as to make it easier; I didn't intend on the first challenge being retardedly hard, sorry about that :(

How do you guys get Super Sonic to boost along the floor without taking off and flying like a nonce? It's hella sweet

If you start boosting in a no-fly zone and hold the boost over into a fly zone, the boost will remain as normal.

Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: Bilan on March 27, 2012, 07:31:36 pm
Challenge #3: City Escape Modern - Adventure Score Attack

 - Complete City Escape Modern with as high a score as possible according to the following scoring system and restrictions:

 - You may not equip any skills for this Challenge.

 - Enemies are worth 100 Points each.
 - Combo's of Enemies score like they do for combos of up to 9 in SA2 ((# of enemies - 1) * 100), and a combo only ends when Sonic touches the ground.
 - IE, killing three enemies and then landing awards 200 Points.
 - Trick Ramps Trick/Orange Rings are worth 400 Points each.
 - Ring Bonus is equal to 20x the number of Rings when the level is complete.
 - Time Bonus begins at 10000, and degrades by 100 Points every 6 seconds after 1:00:00
 - IE, finishing in 1:59:99 would give a Time Bonus of 9000 Points. Finishing in 2:02:xx would give a Time Bonus of 8900. Finishing in 2:49:xx would give a Time Bonus of 8200,m etc.

PS no point scalping from ramps and boost rings, they only count once each.

I appreciate this is a little more complex than the previous two, so I recorded an example vid, then annotated it for all of the point scoring things I did in the level. I then did not save the annotations because I'm an idiot, so I am going to redo them tomorrow and then post the vid.

Submit in the format of:

Name
Score
Rank

Ranks

S Rank: 21000+ Points
A Rank: 18000+ Points
B Rank: 16000+ Points
C Rank: 14000+ Points
D Rank: 12000+ Points
E Rank: Less than 12000 Points

Deadline is this time next week! And again, sorry that I don't have the example vid ready.

Errm, this one sounds like it basically necessitates recording a video. Otherwise I can't see how anyone could possibly keep track of all those things without making any mistakes.

edit: also it sounds like you could just scalp off orange rings/trick ramps
Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: Bilan on March 27, 2012, 11:11:59 pm
I should addend that you can't scalp.

It probably sounds much more complicated than it really is, the enemies are in small groups and after a couple of runs you remember where things are/the amount of them

It's not as bad as it sounds, honest :P
Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: DBG on March 28, 2012, 01:18:08 am
I'm guessing boosting is allowed, even given the title of the challenge.

Anyway, I'll probably do this later this week or something.

Ugh this is crap I can't always keep track of everything I've done, I forget by the time I'm recording another combo.
Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: Bilan on March 29, 2012, 11:13:16 am
Optimal combo at the beginning after the board is 6 robots and 6 hoops, after that is a group of 3 enemies, then by the stairs is a total of 5. After that in the 2D part the top route has two enemies in a line. Then just the 5 at the end.

Easy mode is just kill everything then double check the amounts afterwards
Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: Millernusgaming on March 29, 2012, 11:21:01 am
27000+ is easily doable. In the beginning on the board you can hit 3 enemies and still enter the red ring. Its diffcult to even hit it :P. I don't know if my route is perfect but its good at least. and after the trick ramp without the board you can still boost back and kill the enemies left before those 2 red bumpers.

so all in all my guess with a perfect run is now 28k somethin'

Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: Bilan on March 29, 2012, 11:51:40 am
Yeah, 21K isn't hard, the requirements are fairly loose because you actually have to a little bit of working out.

Also I'm too lazy to annotate my example vid, it was only 18K, just watch Millernus' and do what he does >_>

"Blast Effect glitch"?

Is that the name for that spindash that sends you off faster than the regular spindash would or is it something else?

Basically yeah, the GH-C 29 and CE-C 48 vids makes considerable use of it.

tl;dr none of that bollocks, keeps the playing field level for PC users.

DBG you need to post your level clear time as well as the # of enemies, for tie breaking purposes
Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: DBG on April 04, 2012, 05:11:26 pm
I just did.

Worst case scenario... I'll probably just go and do this again later, because I do see a higher enemy count possible.


Redone.

Slightly higher is still possible, I believe.

@DBG yeah, i want to see some more subs or even vids of crazy classic runs cuz i suck at classic :)
Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: DBG on April 08, 2012, 07:05:16 am
Yeah, I'm horrible at Classic, too. Most I can see myself getting is 23 or even 24.

This challenge ends tomorrow.

Emma and myself have a two day extension for this one, on account of she is too ill to play games and I'm looking after her.

Too lazy to write up the next challenge properly, but basically:

Rooftop Run - Classic
Collect 100 rings as fast as possible (Submit your time as minutes:seconds, don't worry about the centiseconds)
No skills or Blast Effect

are you happy with the progression of these challenges ? Only 2 submissions ?
Title: Re: Sonic Generations Challenges!
Post by: Bilan on April 11, 2012, 02:51:11 pm
The latest one? No.

Admittedly it will be three when I submit, and four if emma is well enough.

If this challenge gets low submissions too, this will be the final round, and I'll post the other idea's I had for people to try for fun.

This is going to be the last round when it ends tomorrow.

I didn't realise that a round involving basic maths would be utterly terrifying to the majority of competitors.

MILLERNUS AM WINNER.

Challenge's that would've been upcoming:

#6 Perfect Chaos, with none of Modern Sonic's abilities outside of the Homing Attack/Jump Dash.
#7 Chemical Plant Classic, fastest time with least amount of rings.
#8 Planet Wisp Modern, fastest time from the checkpoint at the bottom of the huge cylidnrical area (the check just after where you would do the Rocket skip), to the goal ring, without using any of the moving carts.
#9 Sky Sanctuary Classic, use as many teleporters as possible, using the same one multiple times does not count (if that's even possible), and finish as fast as possible.
#10 Rooftop Run Modern, combined RA+TA, where a ring subtracts a second from your time, negative times possible.
#11 A single segment run of the whole game, ending when Time Eater is destroyed. One attempt allowed.
