I have picked the top 5 games that has the most competitors on TSC, so hopefully we'll have more people racing. You have till Tuesday 5pm EDT (10pm for the Brits, 7am for Aussies) to vote for your favourite game. Shortly after that I will post some goals for the chosen game.
I know Unleashed is a very long game, we can easily set short goals for it.
Another thing I want to know since this was brought up on IRC: is everyone happy with race night being once a week with alternate 2D/3D races or would you like it twice a week? Oh and is there anyone who would be interested in racing Sonic hacks? Comments please!

SRB2 races ftw. I'm fine with Multiple race nights.
-
shadow race rets go
-
I woulda joined in if Generations was there D:
Anyways SONIC HEROES FTW (I voted for it)

What he said.
-
I'll see what I can do about SRB2 races.
Right I just got told that SA2B is being re-released on PSN/XBL and steam. I have some people who would rather race it when it comes out. Would you guys prefer it if we held off SA2B till it's out so more people can race it? If so then once it's out we will race it, there will be no poll around the time it comes out.
-
Yes, that's fine for me since I'll be bonering about the release anyway and having my own mini-race with Groudon to get all the achievements. That is of course if he still wants to.
-
I would much rather wait until it's re-released, plus I'm sure more people would be interested in running it when the game gets re-released. (also my GC disk doesn't read half the time >_>)
-
Unleashed is terrible for a full-game run. Medals + leveling system completely ruins it.
SA2 would be good but it makes more sense to wait for the HD version to come out next month imo.
-
Umbreon that's why we usually race goals like "all day act 1's" or something.
-
Ok about the re-release, SA2B is staying in the polls. If it's get chosen we will race it. Once the re-release comes out, I will put it in the polls again and if it gets chosen, we'll make sure the previous goal isn't listed in the goals section. For example, if hero story was raced last time, for the re-release we will race dark story.
-
Voted for based Sonic Heroes, game is too good. I'd race any team, obv prefer Chaotix but the game is too good.
I'd also like to further the push for SA2B to be around the re-release date, as I want to be one getting it around then too.
-
Ok then, threw my vote in for Unleashed day act 1s.
-
based sonic heroes
-
i tink we should have saturday and friday nights, also I think generations should be up there, it's by far the game that I'm best at. if not then sonic dx :)
-
I have picked the top 5 games that has the most competitors on TSC, so hopefully we'll have more people racing.
Generations was 6th on the list so it'll be on the next 3D race list.
-
I'm gonna go for Unleashed as well, i can livestream now :)

Generations has more players than Shadow :P
-
I swear it wasn't like that when I looked at it, but then again I've been working really hard lately so I'm not surprised I slipped up there :P
-
Just to be clear, SA2B is on the sixth of October? Not any other games?
-

For example, if hero story was raced last time, for the re-release we will race dark story.
I know I said this earlier, but a lot of people are saying they want to race it, when it's re-released. So yeah we're racing it on the 6th October.
-
Well.. Hmm.. Not the game I expected for my birthday but okay! I just suck at playing SA2B
-
Sonic Heroes is the winner! Vote now for the goal you want to race. You have till Saturday 4pm EDT to vote.
-
Should I vote? I'm not participating, though.
-

Edit: Please only vote if you're actually participating since it won't be fair to the people who actually want to race.
-
No.
-
looks like team sonic, thts what i voted for, i'm gonna play the pc version, i've never speed ran sonic heroes so i wont win lol
-
Hate to be a noob, but do I need streaming capability to participate in these race nights? Not so much for this week, as I can't enter this week because my copy of Sonic Heroes is approximately 200 miles away, but I would like to do Sonic Adventure 2 in a fortnight. I have no capture card so I can't basically...well, I can do a sucky webcam on TV thing, but that will just look horrible.
For 2D games I should be fine either way as long as it's something I can run in an emulator, though with 2D I'm probably only interested in the Mega Drive games anyway, I'm far too sucky at the portable games to even consider trying.
-
Since we're doing race nights at SRL, I think I heard that it is best to stream incase someone calls BS on you, but it's really up to you. I did have a look at SRL and saw this:
Can I play on an emulator?
If the emulator is accurate and the community for that game accepts emulator as a valid choice, then yes, you can. If you play on emulator you are required to stream. This should be no problem because you can simply capture a screen region.
This isn't hard to set up if you use xsplit.
-
Well given that I won't be anywhere near in contention for winning the race for SA2B, I think it should be fine to not stream for that then.
-
Oh Im still kinda new here and Im not sure what is this but it sounds nice.
so. what i understand is. we will play sonic heroes from a new file. starting from 0 and see who finishes it first?
-
I was meant to post this a few days ago but completely forgot...
So, the S3K turnout wasn't the best, especially given the initial interest. Are we sure the time is the best? I know from talking to people specifically this time doesn't work for either Strong Bad or Shadow Jacky who both would otherwise race Heroes. I know it being an hour earlier would work for them for this week, and I'd be fine waking up at 6am (~_~) to get more people in this race.
Obviously don't want to just change the time without deliberation, but just making sure that we get maximum people in! Food for thought for the future???
-
The main reason for the time is to attempt to be fair to people in all regions. Americans are fine either way, but much later isn't too fair to UK people and much earlier isn't too fair to Australians.
Of course, that was just the thinking behind it. In actual practice, do we actually have any Australians other than you? If you're willing to get up earlier then I don't see why not :P
-
I'm actually not sure I can attend even if it's an hour earlier, more things decided to come up for me tomorrow, so don't change the time for my sake. Thanks though. Was looking forward to racing Heroes, I started learning routes the other day too. :/
-
can anyone tell me how to set this up for live streaming - im new to this stuff and i dont have a clue how to set it up.
-
i used google.com for everything when i set mine up
-
so i need to signup for speed runs live? then stream live from there?
-
Team Sonic wins. Poll is closed.
-
Just a question, if we want to watch, where do we go? To the irc for Speedrunslive?

The irc is where the chat is. Go to http://speedrunslive.com/race/?id=vtzoi (http://speedrunslive.com/race/?id=vtzoi) to watch the race. It seems to be starting late.
-
Man. It doesn't work for iPad. Lame. Well. Sorry guys. I guess I can't watch.
-
WELL DONE TO HYPERSONIC7701. The only person who joined. and Won. due to double disqualifications. Boo.
-
what? they did race already? o.o
-
what? they did race already? o.o
Yeah. Was the time not clear to you? Is that why nobody turned up, because nobody knew the time?
-
I had no idea >.<
