Title: SA2B: 180 Emblems Speedrun

So yeah, this has been done...

It was done by itsPersonnal and I. We got together, and took turns. It was done over the course of 2 days, but the game and timer were paused overnight, and resumed the next day. So, I guess it's not exactly Single-Segment, but whatever. The entire run was streamed here:

Considering this was the first run, we've learned a lot from it, because we got completely lost when it came to Chao raising, but for next time the idea will be to have a really crappy hero and dark Chao just to unlock the races, and have a neutral Chao to actually use. To be honest, proper Chao raising could probably save about 2 hours off of this... Anyway, our guess is that this could be taken down to about 15-16 hours Real-Time/~13 Game-Time, due to many stupid mistakes and levels that we haven't practiced getting A ranks on (Sand Ocean M4, Mission Street M1 during Hero Story).

I'd even go so far as to say that I'd be interested in racing this category (call me crazy), and hopefully this gets more people interested in this.

aaaaaaaaaand, if I stream a run, it'll be here:

I currently have 11 hours on a 174 Emblem file with ONLY Chao Karate and Cannons core left. Also, the only time that is logged is actual play time within stages.

EDIT: A 180 Emblem speedrun has been an interest of mine for a long time. It's just getting the support to do it. I've even suggested 180 emblem races in SRL. But nope ;)

That's awesome, I'd definitely be interested in racing. Maybe just an "All A Ranks" race would be better, but I'd do either. :P

Edit: Single-Segment?

I had a 90 emblem file that clocked in at around 3 1/2 hours or so until I got bored.

Fuck raising a chao from scratch though

edit: pretty sure that was hero story all A's done too

I was thinking of doing a single-segment Hero/Dark speedrun soon. But actually, a 180 emblem speedrun would be so much better...

I started up a new one the other week. 92 emblems (or whatever) With every Hero side story Emblem obtained in around 4 hours. currently into the 100's with Dark story finished at around 5 hours. CBA to do all the missions again though lol.

I doubt it'd be single segmented. That'd be way too much work.
