sub 1:25 and 52.47 huh?! great job! those have to be close to max. you really dominated your M1 goal and got a great time. For M3 I thought 52 would barely be possible(I wanted 52.80) but you blew that away as well. maybe you have a better way of getting to the chao, I really have no idea what the fastest way is so maybe I do it right and maybe I do not. I will be patiently waiting for some videos! as for mine, well, I will see what I have on tape to upload for you.

Thanx dude, I`m basing my run in the yoshifan`s video of 1:34. My m2 time isn`t that good, I don`t know why, maybe if you have the vid of this mission I`ll figure out, but I think the problem is in the minimal details of my run, I`ll try it again later, but I`ll leave the m1 time tilll someone beat it. And about my vids, I`ll try to upload them this week, the m1, m2 and m3 times.

Ha!!! I told you I would do this! In my m3(52.47) I hitted the set of springs at 41.55!!! For now it`s the fastest I could do, but if I hit the springs at this time again make sure I`ll beat this time. Thanks for your effort to upload the vids, see ya o/

Here`s the link: http://snesorama.us/board/showpost.php?p=218499&postcount=1 there is everything you need to know, it`s a gdi iso, this mean it`s the complete game, not a pirated copy(japanese voices, lol).

I think I`m right about the emulator question, `cause if the gameplay is the same in the emulator I see no reason to forbid his use. Of course if you submit a time made in this emulator, print screens aren`t enought to prove the legitimacy of your submission, `cause the fps question, only videos are enought to do this. Hope to have helped o/

Dreamcast emulators are not allowed for competition purposes on this site at the moment.

According to the rules: "Unofficial emulators that do not replicate correctly the original gameplay are not allowed. This currently spans DS, Dreamcast and any newer non portable consoles, and more." OK, but the "nulldc" (Dreamcast Emulator) emulates the game perfectly, this mean it`s according to the rules. Of course, if the fps is low, this give to the player an advantage, and invalidates any submission, but if the fps is normal, any time of SA2 made in the "nulldc" emulator is completely legit.

Man do I wish I had this game.

Dude, why don`t you try it in an emulator? Of dreamcast, `cause in the gamecube emulator the game FPS is far from perfection. Try to get the ISO and play in the emulator. o/

Hehehe,, you`re right, Jawzun helped us a lot, in this run of 1:26 I didn`t used his trick, `cause I forget it xD!!!!! Could be much better. Ha! I did it!!! I beat the m3 time!!! It`s taped! I could hit the set of springs at 41 sec as I said I could do. I`ll upload the video in the next week ok?

I really want to see all of your Sonic & Shadow videos, from all missions, but if you can`t upload them I`ll be pleased if I could see the vids from Pyramid Cave, Radical Highway, Final Rush, and the M2 of Metal Harbor. Thanx for the suport ^_^ see ya o/

Woa!!! If you haven't said about the light dash I would lose pretty good seconds! This will help me a lot, thanx again. Dude, if you could get a 1:10 last checkpoint, you can easily get a low 1:27, it's serious, depending on your finish of course.

Yeah, xD, Jawzun don't lose time, but if I can be between the top five, it's a victory for a rookie. After max out my time in Green Forest I'll aim for Metal Harbor(my current time is 1:18:49).

Do you have any record videos that aren't here in the TSC? I only have a few from here, but many records don't have videos here, including the yours. o/

Edit: Watch out my mission 3 time, I'll aim for it later. o/

oh.. just (another) stupid glitch then if he does fall every time, the game has enough of those as is. I usually just skip the loop by spindash jumping from the checkpoint, which is maybe faster? If you say 40/41 springs are possible I will take your word for it. For me getting 42.6 feels perfect, though it is easily possible that you are better than me.

yeah.. jawzun is very good, a whole lot better than me when he wants to be. (proven by emerald coast & everything else in SA1)

after the first spring of the ascent (at about 56 seconds) do you do a light dash to hit the second spring a lot faster? I learned that from watching jawzun's old 1:33 run, it saves a decent amount of time.

do not be discouraged, you can beat him! he may beat you back... but then you beat him back! and that..is how records (usually) become very strong :P (duh) I will sit this one out, I am not very good at playing with DC controls so I doubt I would sub 1:30 anyway.

edit: what about mission 5, would this not work there as well for an easy new record? I almost forgot about M5

Hahaha, thanks dude, yep, his time is totally beatable(for now), hey! I could reach the first spring of the sequence in 55 sec today and get to the last check at 1:10:xx(but I was in my last life and died)!!! I'm taping every single try. I didn't noticed the light dash you talked about, great! Another way to save time! Spindashing to the end of the loop save about 0.2-0.3 sec. I'm dreaming with a 1:25 someday, i think it's possible with a very close to perfect run, exploring all time savers of the stage. And I was thinking about M5 too, I'll test it today when I get to home. If I beat his time make sure I'll have a video. Try it too Paragod, I'm only a newcomer, it's my first two months here, if I can, I'm sure you can too. Ok, 1:25 is the target, I'll go for it, or the closest to it. Get ready men!!! Sucess to us all o/

well, I guess I am the first here besides brian and SM who can say I did it! On DC, I guess it is impossible on GC? it is not working for me there.

from what I can tell it is a waste of time to jump on the rail, I made it to the invisible platform by just spindash jumping from the ground.

if it is DC only I take back what I said about your ending being slower, I forgot the ending on DC is slower cause the last vine puts sonic further back than on GC

now I gotta set a new record, I would of had one (1:15 last check) but I fell out of the loop for no reason at all and wasted time.

Yep, in DC the end of Green Forest is slower than in the GC, and what you said about the loop, this happens everytime on DC when you try to do the entire loop in ball form. Paragod, if the springs you were saying is that  which stay right after the second checkpoint, I`m sure I can hit them possibly with a high 40 sec or low 41, `cause in this run(I couldn`t figure out) I did a really very fast decend after the check, which made me save a lot of time, and I wasn`t in my best run when I did this, I hope I can do this again.

Edit: Hahahaha, Jawzun kicked me off the 1st position

Yep, that`s the method, but with one diference: If you just spindash, you won`t be able to reach the plataform(I tried), it`s far from the spring plataform, so the only way(AFAIK) to land on it is jumping after the spindash. I made no major mistakes on my run, except for the invisible plataform part, where I lost 1.5 sec because of my nervous state, I could be on the way to do 1:34 all over the stage, and I think 1:25 it`s possible, I`ll try it later, but I really think that I`ve made a good run. If someone could look my times in the prints, please tell me if it`s a good run ok? Let`s take this stage to another level!!!

Ok, I`ll try to upload the video later, but for now I`ll show some print screens of it ok? Here they are: http://www.mediafire.com/?dnw6jc1gmm7 I`m proud of what I`ve got, I don`t even dreamed of being able to do a speedrun in the level of Paragod, Yoshifan and etc... but I did!!! I was faster than Yoshifan till the first spring of the sequence that makes you go up the tree, where his time is 0.14 sec faster than mine. I know many of you will improve this, `cause I can improve this too. Haha, let`s see how many days this record will remain mine xD. For all of us sucess, sucess, and more sucess!!!

Hi guys, lol I knew you`ll think it`s a crazy time. Ok let`s explain what I did: As Paragod has said, I have a new strategy for this stage, I have the Yoshifan`s video of 1:34:77 of Green Forest, and I`ve studying it for a while, there`s a lot of things that can be improved in this stage, but not to reach 1:28:94. When trying to beat his time I remembered of a shortcut that I`ve found in 2004 when my Dreamcast was alive, but after his death I simply forget it xD, with this shortcut I was able to improve the time of this stage. I have the video of this time but it`s too big(60 mb) and I have a Dial Up connection :(. Be patient dudes, maybe in a month I`ll be uploading the video, because I`ll have a decent connection. Now I can`t have broadband due to money problems ok?
