Competition Central / Paragod, possible shortcuts in Radical Highway

« on: April 11, 2007, 12:36:49 am »

Hey man, your video is SICK, with it I got a time that is 22nd in it.  I've noticed a couple of things that may speed you up a second or two, although i doubt anyone will be able to come near your current time :P

First, and i'm not totally sure on this one, after you do the first Y that splits into two loops, and you go through the tunnel, i've found if you hold down the charge and go off, you barely make it on, but you are on ground level so you can do a quick speed dash, may save some time.

Second, and i've only done this once, when you go up the first pulley, and hit the springs, i dunno how, but i hit the attack button and it stopped my fall and i landed directly onto the pavement without having to wait to land.  You start back farther than in your run, but with a speed dash i think you can save time.

Third, when you use the rocket to fly up, instead of jumping around the roller, just go at it and hold B to do ur spin dash, if you do it right before the roller, you actually go under it and directly into a spin charge (so instead of jump around, land, spin dash, you just spin dash)

I am not positive if this will speed you up since i'm no where near your skill level.  But i hope some of these things are helpful :-)

Also, as i'm trying to improve my time as well, how do you do the spin dash thing so fast?  And you have blue swirly stuff like a light speed attack does that effect anything?  I didn't get the light attack for shadow. :-/

oh, and sorry i've been MIA, running business, school, comic, about 5.5 hours of sleep a night -.-  this is the first time i've gotten to play video games i like a month

Competition Central / Can you look at my SA2 Time Attack run?

« on: March 02, 2007, 01:47:53 am »

I'm trying to improve my time, I got a clip, and although the 2nd half was horrible (everything kind of went wrong), can you tell me how i'm doing on the first half?  I've improved my bounce attack and think it was a pretty good first half, but any constructive criticism or tips are appreciated ^.^

Also, i've been watching paragod's time run, why does it seem like he initiates his speed ball faster, and it sounds higher pitched?  Is it just the audio or is there a trick that i'm missing?

General Sonic / Question on SA 2 Bounce Attack to Rail

« on: February 26, 2007, 01:18:01 am »

I'm starting to get my bounce attack down, able to do it pretty easily.  I'm working next on doing the bounce attack onto rails to go really fast.  Every time I try i end up hitting it but immediately jumping.  Is there some key to keep low?  Or just need to jump, bounce and then at last second attack, release the A button and hit the B for speed?

Thanks for your help :)

Hiya Folks / Hello, new competition coming in :)

« on: February 19, 2007, 10:53:12 pm »

Hello all.  I wanted to introduce myself.

My name is Trevor Fayas, i'm an uber sonic freak, with my favorite game SA2.  I've beaten it 100% twice (no cheats, no nothing), as well as Sonic 1, 2 (sonic, tails, and knuckles), 3 (sonic, tails, and knuckles), SADX, Sonic heroes, sonic riders, sonic 3D, umm....yeah :P i'm on a mission to beat all the sonic games 100%.  I've also watched all 240 sonic cartoons, have the movie, and run the worlds largest and most popular Sonic Sprite comic, sonicandpals.com.  And my girlfriend is also a sonic freak like me :P

Sonic Adventure 2 is by far my favorite, and the one i will be competing in. Heck, even got me into SOAPing (which was dead, me and some others got SOAP grind shoes back in production, currently me and my business partner are the ONLY people who sell SOAPs on my web site).

Can't wait to start finding perfect runs, and hopefully i'll put up some competition, although i think a lot of these people are hard core SA2 players and it will take some time to 'catch up'  lol.

So, um, Hey!  :D   ^.^  Just one quick question, how do we submit videos?  I can save my video directly to my dxg 521 roadster cam (it has an input port).  I usually just upload all my videos anyways, will that be fine?  LIke google video, or is there a prefered method?
