So is there a way for me to convert my NTSC times?
This is totally lame.

Information Kiosk / Sonic CD special stage time attack - PAL???
« on: March 17, 2010, 08:59:33 pm »
Is it true that only the PAL version can reach the times listed on this site?

I can't come close to any of the times, even copying youtube videos second for second.
Also, timing the youtube videos with my watch, they come up slightly slower than the times I'm getting on my NTSC Sega CD

I have the AVI of that TAS.
I couldn't figure out how to watch the GMV of it though.

How would I go about watching the emulator video file?

Yea, in CC3, I'm jumping on the slop after the peel out...and I just barely can't make it.

I must have tried it over a hundred times.
I am using the original Sega CD version.

On hardware, if that makes a difference.

I wasn't able to get 3 seconds in CC3 on my Sega CD copy either.
Could you explain to me how to trick it out right?

I just barely don't get up there it seems.

You certainly made me smile, I hope I'll get to see more awe inspiring paths through levels. (without zipping, since I don't know how to do that either...I wonder if there's a place that teaches you these things?)

I don't see how zipping doesn't stop competition, but that's none of my business/not why I'm here.
Can all five versions of Sonic CD zip like that?
(Mega CD, Sega CD, PC, GameCube, PS2)

As long as zipping doesn't keep us from having all four variations of a stage for the stats submissions.

Wait, is zipping actually allowed in legit speed runs?

Sad as sad could be you know...

Also, there are actual differences between good and bad future stages.
Apart from the obvious one, no enemies in good futures...this also messes with time attacking, since you can't bust enemies to help your speed.

Both futures should be stat-able.
As this video proves, there are different times achievable for both, and this video does highlight some of the differences, apart from enemies.

I do like the idea of there being more, new (to me) SCD to play, along with new routes to learn and whatnot
Well, I certainly hear no objections to the benefits of adding this in.

Yea, TA mode has no time traveling.

That's why it would be arguable for different time zone speed runs.
All of the ones I've seen on youtube make sure to not travel through time though.

On the note of incompleteability, I thought the only one was Metallic Madness past, but you can indeed complete it, by running on top of the ceiling similar to running on top of the ceiling in the present version of the stage.
There's no longer the little window to jump through at the end though, so you have to go through becoming tiny Sonic.

The verifiability doesn't become any harder than verifying people's Sonic 2 speed runs, or Sonic 1/3/Knuckles whatever...
Plus a screen shot doesn't rule out tool assisted/save stated speed runs. (these things didn't exist much when I submitted my first times for Sonic 2 way back when)

I think it downplays the worth of Sonic CD to only count the stages they presented to us in Time Attack mode.
Plus it would give some validity to playing the US Sonic CD for speed runs, since you can press start, then A to reset the level at the cost of a life.
JP Sonic CD would be a real bitch to time attack different time zones with.

Also, Sonic CD, after you beat a level you warped to with level select, you return to the title screen.
So it seems the intended way to time attack the different time zones.



Just to make myself crystal clear, I mean there would be four different time stats to submit for Palmtree Panic Act 1

PP A1 Past
PP A1 Present
PP A1 Bad Future
PP A1 Good Future

I don't mean beating PPA1 in the future, and then submitting the stat for the Present version of the stage, which is right now the only one we can submit times for.

You can use level select, just like the other Sonic games.
The US version even lets you restart the stage like time attack mode.

When you finish a stage via level select, you go back to the title screen...
We should be allowed to submit time stats for past, bad future, and good future stages.

The differences between time zones are numerous.
We should also be allowed to submit time stats for the 8th special stage.

There are 78 levels in Sonic CD all together, and I don't understand why we can't submit time stats for them.

Is there some mysterious reason we must use Time Attack mode, and that's it?
I know there are the future/past sign posts, but traveling between times shouldn't be allowed, IMHO...but that's another discussion entirely (I don't really care either way TBH, because on the other hand, it could be cool to switch between times in a speed run.)

I mean, I agree for the present stages, and act 3 bad futures, Time Attack mode only.
But, we shouldn't exclude all the rest of the stages in the game just because they aren't listed in time attack mode.
That's like cutting out at least two thirds of the game.

Can we start submitting stats for good future, bad future, and past zones yet????
It's one of the features that I love about Sonic CD.
78 levels (including the eight special stages)
Good times.

I didn't do that start of the level thing...I know how to do the other part.

Though that first thing doesn't make the most sense to me, I'll take a whack at it.

I failed : (

Sonic 2 for Genesis.

I'll make a video of it, but I don't know the path to take.

I'm on the outdated twenty seconds path. (long story short)
