Leaderboard Disputes / Metro 1 S2 Sonic score.

« on: August 04, 2007, 11:05:24 pm »

Would like to see the video that exists for this. There is one enemy that cannot be killed for sonic because the nuts and bolts reset. Knux can get around this by climbing. Gotta see how you get that enemy or else this stat is bs.

General Sonic / Sonic 2 death egg contest (money reward!)

« on: January 04, 2007, 05:06:37 pm »

K, so I really want to see this done: 12 hits in one cycle (get him before he flies up) on final egg in Death Egg on Sonic 2 (played as sonic or tails), on a genesis console, submitted and accepted by sda (sorry, too easy to cheat with emulators). $55 to the person that gets this done. If more then one is done, obviously the best time wins. The run also has to beat :49, preferably beat :44 or better.

General Sonic / Sonic blindfolded

« on: December 20, 2006, 01:32:04 am »

I recently saw a vid of a guy playing super mario bros blindfolded (pretty well I might add). How well can you do on some of the sonic games?

I had 0 chance of beating Emerald Coast on adventure, which was the first one I tried. I then tried some sonic 2, could get through eh1 and eh2, chem plant 1 but not chem plant 2. I also tried to beat death egg, I can beat metal sonic every time (not that difficult), but have only gotten lucky and gotten 2 hits on final egg.

Any impressive feats you guys can do with this (and youtube it preferably, but obviously descriptions are fun too).

Competition Central / Sonic 2 in 20:02 single segment

« on: December 09, 2006, 04:42:31 pm »

So, for anyone that doesn't go to sda often, my run of sonic 2 is up, I thought you guys might be interested. I thank everyone here for the competition, routes, maps, etc. that helped put this together! http://speeddemosarchive.com/Sonic2.html I'll recommend downloading normal quality, as high quality isn't that much better.

Competition Central / StH2 time attack: Aquatic 1 and Death egg (others added!)

« on: August 11, 2006, 08:12:27 pm »

Alright, I'm working on some individual level times for posting over a SDA (with the hopes of getting good enough to attempt a single segment eventually as well). 2 levels are really bugging me at the moment:
Aquatic 1: How the hell is 20 second possible? A ton more spindashes than I'm doing? Perfect timing getting to the speed boost? Some other shortcut I'm missing? I can get 28 seconds, but thats a lot of time missing from the real record.

Death egg: from the time, I'm assuming somone has gotten 11 hits in on the big bad guy. For anyone that does it, is it just pure skill, going from hitting the rocket pack to hitting him in the butt? I personally can get ten by: 2 hits on but when rising, one hit on butt when legs together, 4 on jet pack, then 3 on butt while rising. Do i have to somehow fit another butt shot into the 4 jet pack hits or what? Is this ridiculously hard, because it seems like it is (getting 10 requires maybe 19 or 20 tries... plus consider the perfect spindashing that I try to get, and I only get 50 seconds once every 30 times, and I still can't get 49).

Competition Central / hydrocity glitch in s3

« on: June 04, 2006, 04:26:45 am »

There is a glitch in hydrocity 2, right at the beginning of the level where for some reason, the wall that is supposed to push and kill you instead pushes you through the one of the ramps and wayyyy further into the level (in fact, I finished the level in about 42 seconds). I have no idea how I can get this glitch to work consistently, I have been attempting to recreate it but have not been successful. As I am new to the community and interested in the competition I've seen, would a glitch like this be allowed? I am assuming not, as someone else had to have seen this before me, but I just found this very interesting and I couldn't find any discussion on it. I am very annoyed that I can't do it again... does anyone know of any way to recreate this?
