Title: Sonic 2 MD/Gen Knuckles Score
Post by: starcrytas on July 11, 2013, 11:21:11 pm
I noticed the score on Hill Top act 1 is over 800k.
How is that possible?

All I know is that every ring is collected and every enemy is defeated.

What is the combo strat to get over 800k in one stage?

this is the current wr (not submitted to TSC though) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFXfwAuSeNk
Simple combo off the two rocks.

Edit: Also a warning - score attacking this particular stage WILL drive you insane lol, it took me about 2 days of trying to get it. And even then it's definitely improvable

How does Knuckles score over 800k?

EDIT: Nice job on the scoring!

I'm not really the go-to-guy when it comes to this sort of thing, but as far as I know, either of two strategies can be used to achieve high scores on Hill Top Act 1 with Knuckles. The first is a rock breaking strategy, which is allegedly similar to the one that RPGnutter uses in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9nhTJq9w2Y) with Sonic. However, Flying Fox has recently conceived another Knuckles strategy (here's a video of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAITNT1GzyA)) that takes advantage of a Rexon (one of the pink plesiosaur-like creatures in the lava), which renders the rock breaking strategy obsolete. Sorry I can't provide you with any more info, but if you have any further questions or concerns hopefully some of the more experienced players can post some advice, and the chatroom is also a good place to ask about this kind of stuff.

(Also, ninja'd by SonicBoom737, but you still get my drift. :P)
