Hey brother!!! I'm very happy to see you posting again :D.

What's this "Take every one of paragod's records!" thing? You aren't retiring, are you? You have too much to give in this game man, and forget about the CE record, there's no one in this world that can match your skills there.

Great time there! I need to get back to playing again but I won't have so much time, 'cause I'll need to learn a lot of things for the test I'll do this year, if I pass I'll stay working there for my entire life :D

About my videos, I'm planning just one video for now, a CG M2 TA 'cause I think I can get a great in video, and I don't taped anything since my GF video :/. But I still want to upload some videos with the other chars too.

Hahaha thx PoT, but I think this will be very hard anyway, every point I get, it's one less for me to get, that's the same deal with Speedruns, the closer you're from the perfection, the harder is to get there :P, and thank you my brother for the "Rookie of the Year" thing, but I haven't seen any of this awards since I came to TSC, so I think this isn't happening anymore : /. But I really hope I'm wrong :D

Hey man! This tie is unbelievable, I think it's better for you, to leave this as a tie, it's so awesome when we look at the chart and see a tie in the times section :D

It all comes to pratice bro, never forget this, I'm sure you can get all of them in red easier than you thought :D

Hey! Your new M1 times on the hunting missions made me lose a lot of points xD, now I'm 139 points away from yoshifan D:, not to mention I still need to submit my GC times over my DC ones(GF M1 and MH M3), what will make me lose more points T.T

Yeah, Cort got it, but I'm sure Para can get it back, since he said sub 33 was possible. Hey Para how're you doing? It been a long time since you've talked to me last time, wazzup :D?

Pyramid Cave is one of the worst stages for me to TA, but it's one of the best to play for fun :D, the door skip is a little tough in the beginning, but after "some" tries you get used to it.

Hey PoT, I hope so, I have to choose what I'll do: I can get a new PC at January but get the GC later or get the GC now and wait one month to get the PC :/ I think I'll just get the GC now and fuck the PC.

I almost forgot, I have something very good to tell you Final :D, you said you had problems to get hit by the meteor in Meteor Herd mission 2 right? So, the deal is: Whenever you want to TA this mission you need to enter the stage again, 'cause the first meteor always hit the same spot, its just behind you, a little bit for the right side of your starting point, you just need to jump at that spot to the meteor hit you, from there you just need to fly and continue the mission. If you're having problems figuring out the position, just watch one of the Psyknux or Yoshifan's videos. I'm sure this will help you so much, 'cause is a lot better to exit and enter a stage again than keep playing it over and over praying for god help a damned meteor hit you xD

Hey yoshi!!! :D It's been a really LONG time since we talked man. I haven't realised this record count, so if we're at this now this means that I've been the one with most time records once o.O, since Final and Para got some of them in the past few months :D.

Hey Para, you have the same amount of records as me, but only with Sonic/Shadow!!! This is so amazing, as I said before, Final is the only one who can put a challenge to you with Sonic/Shadow in most of the stages.

Mr. Goran... what a shame for you, of course you need to get sub 24 there! I don't accept that the same guy who have 2 TA Sweeps can't get such an easy time :O

Wow! That's a really awesome time bro! I always thought about that record to be almost unbeatable! I'm happy I could help you with this one :D

Hey Para, do you really think you need to tape a sub 2:20 run to look awesome? C'mon all your runs are awesome! The only guy who can tie Paragod's videos is someone called persononearth!

37/41(or 39/41, which is better but not official :/) is almost there! I hope I can get some other records in this game as Sonic/Shadow, or else you guys will take all of them to yourselves xD

Try it out with his strat then, maybe you can get a better time with it, and about the light dash, that's another really simple thing, like touching the wall after jumping to fall down faster, the deal is: You need to get at least the 2 first rings in the chain or else sonic will gain so much speed, and that will make him fly off the ground, each ring you get after the other make you gain more speed, so if you avoid getting some with the light dash, you'll have less speed than you should got it? I'm sure this will end this matter, just don't get the first 2 rings on the chain, it's like my strategy on the spring from WJ, it works every time, just try it out :)

Hey guys, I was in my dad's house so I haven't posted since I was enjoying my time with him and my little bro :D.

Hey PoT! You're planning on getting the M2 record of PC? You got so close since you missed the capsule at the end :D, keep trying you'll get it if you want to.

 Also, why you're having problems with M5? It's far easier than M1, since you can get a shield at the very beginning, the backtracking is easier with it, but I understand your difficult to get all of the rings in the snowboading section of CE, it's a real pain in the ass for me too, that's why my M4 RA isn't maxed :/, but mission 5 and easier 'cause you can "kill" the truck.

And Para, you're the master of CE, what is easy for you is harder to us xD, I would like to see a Speed Ring Attack Run(does this really exist?) of any stage you can tape to us ^_^

We're the number ONE!!! This is just great :D, we're keeping the SA2B competition alive! We deserve this.

Hey, you finally did it! I simply can't get back to the beginning :/, so congrats for being the first one to pull this off :D, now M5 will be very easy, and you can even take the record 2 times, since you can use the check to get a magnetic shield, then you get the secret ring, later you can use the check to get more rings, this way you'll appear in the index 2 times xD

« on: November 19, 2009, 10:51:10 am »

I know that :P, but if you do it right it takes the same time to pull off, btw the record is 50:20, I did it sometime ago but I forgot :D, in the video it wasn't as good as in my best runs, and I don't have choice, I simply can't do it with his strategy :/, but as I said, when you do it fast, it takes the same time to pull off or even a little less(nothing great, maybe 0.1 or 0.2 sec).

About the double spindash, I have no idea if it saves time or not really but it seems to not bounce as much as the other method which is a plus.

Not for me xD my spindash is too slow, I've been able to pull this off 2 times out of 11, which for me is very good, btw PoT, 13:07? This is just awesome! My best check was 13:52, but I don't tried with this strategy, I failed both times xD

Even you have said otherwise I made a lil vid of the ending, so you can know exactly how I do it :D, here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oj1w4dmd5md

Competition Central / Re: How much time do you lose when you respawn from a checkpoint in SA2:B?

« on: November 18, 2009, 03:36:27 pm »

I may try this out when I have chance Final, it looks it can save more time than you expected since what Para said makes sense, if we can do 2 spindashes there this can make the beginning a lot faster :D.

Para, my ending in the Chao mission is fairly easy, I've thought about it 'cause I couldn't pull off blasest's strategy :P, after the vine I just light dash the rings, turn to the right and then do a superbounce at the wall behind you in the right side of that place, after that I just hold forward to make Sonic stay as close as possible to the Chao, then when I reach enough height to reach the Chao I just do a Homing Attack. I hope you understand everything, maybe I can make a video of it today for you :D

Talking about the superbounces on the tree, only the first one keeps failing to me 'cause sometimes I don't hit the A+B fast enough and go down the wall, or do it faster than I should and I light dash the damn ring xD, the second one I can only do if I stand on that place as in my vid, 'cause if I don't do this I always light dash one of the rings :/

LOL thank you very much man, I really want to tape another run, 'cause that one had a lot of mistakes, then I'll upload it to youtube. Yeah it's very hard to pull off everything perfectly on a checkfree run, but I know I can at least reach the 3rd check with a good time every 20 or 30 runs, so from there is just that 2 superbounces(Which are the main reason of my failed attempts xD) and the ending. I liked some parts of that run, but I don't like to put 2 or more videos of the same mission on youtube, but since you guys liked it so much, I think it deserves this.

I would tell you to do it, your videos are amazing, they need to be here for the new people who don't know where to find them.

Competition Central / Re: How much time do you lose when you respawn from a checkpoint in SA2:B?

« on: November 15, 2009, 09:24:17 pm »

holy shit man that run was insane for GC! I love it! Checkfree too! I can't believe I never thought to try bouncing up the spring parts like that, the first one looks really hard.

xD thanks, yeah the first one is harder and the second one was ridiculous, I failed hard at that, but say what, I've thought about that one today :D

Looks like you pretty much used gravity control on the loop to save time to get that 50 sec on M3, I had a feeling you may have done that part faster but I could not figure it out myself.

Yeah, but my mission 3 record is pretty much unoptimized, I think a sub 49 would be a great record, I'll make a video of it too to show you my ending strategy.

This run is 9999999 times better than that pathetic DC record of mine. and speaking of DC, I guess 1:20 can be done huh? we sure will be able to smash japan's 1:22, I knew it would be possible! 1:26 seems insane, but I guess really that's only 1.70 sec, so maybe it can be done.

You really need to work on a new video of it, now you know these new tricks so you can easily afford a 1:21 there, and I'm pretty sure about sub 1:20 being possible, I've said this before, now it's up to you to max this stage in DC and I'll max it in GC ;)

I may try later, for a M3 record and a much improved M1 record. With that loop skip you do 32 could probably easily be done on M2 as well, I did my record the old fashion way and it still was not perfect.

I really don't want to give it a try, you guys really don't even realise how much difficult is playing on my PC:

1-I have a 0.1 or 0.2 sec delay, which causes a lot of problems in some parts(like CE), but I get used to it pretty well after some plays

2-Sometimes the game simply have some kind of "lag", I'm playing and then the screen freezes for a really short amount of time, but this happens randomly, so this cause some problems to me very often :/

3-This is stupid, but the quality isn't as good as playing on the TV but I can overcome this, it only cause problems when the game lags and I don't catch up fast enough with the game 'cause I don't know where everything exactly is.

Edit: Thanks too Cort, but you don't need to post here, we can talk in real life, just pick up the phone and call me :D

« on: November 15, 2009, 07:04:39 pm »

Thanks so much for cheering me up guys, your tips will surely make difference in the way I play, except the spindash thing, 'cause I really think my fingers suck hard xD

What I said before counts pretty much here though, but looking at your 1:4x in CG3, you did the B+A quite fast. Coincidence, or are you underestimating yourself? =D

No no that's different, there I did the B+A fast but what I'm saying is the time it takes to hit the B button then the A button got it? Anyway I'll try out what Para said, or else I'll need to switch to X+A(Which is what I do in my MH M3 run after the 2nd chain of rings), but that's another deal, and we don't need to talk about this here.

I DID IT!!! The dawn game finally gave me my 1:28! The max should be low 1:27 with insanity, so I'll be surely up for it later 'cause Cort will get the GC tomorrow, I won't put it on youtube, but I'll upload it and put the link here today :D

Edit: It's up, here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?nojlhzz0mwo I've watched the run again and I can say the max is sub 1:27 for sure, there's mistakes all over the video, so I'll only upload something to youtube if it's sub 1:27.

« on: November 15, 2009, 03:06:15 pm »

Both are amazing! Especially the mission 2 one. I doubt anyone other than you can ever beat that 8)

And since you guys are talking so much about the fact that I want to be the 3rd, I'll show you why I'm not the first:

First of all, I'm not talking about my skills as Knuckles/Rouge and Tails/Eggman, I'm only talking about my Sonic/Shadow skill.

1- My spindash SUCKS! I really suck at this simple thing, as you guys can see if you compare my RH and MH videos to anyone else, my spindashes are slower than almost all the others especially when compared to you guys, look at my last 2 spindashes in GH, or how many spindashes I can do after the second light dash in MH, I always do 1 less than everyone else 'cause my stupid fingers don't push the button fast enough to charge another spindash before I lose some speed.

2- My B+A sucks too, I don't have videos to show you that, but almost all of them are a big problem to me, 'cause I need to wait longer to do it or else I'll touch the floor before doing the HA, see Para's Crazy Gadget video, his B+A after the last superbounce was done VERY CLOSE to the floor, just watch his video in slow motion.

3- My skill as a Sonic/Shadow player is not as great as you guys think, the only thing I can do well in this game is find new strategies, most of my records were done with a new strategy or just an optimization of the current one, and I don't call this skill, it's totally different of you guys, who can push any stage hard to the limit.

Remember, I'm talking about my Sonic/Shadow skill, not my overall skill.

I've finally been able to play, it's almost 3:15 AM here and I can say that I'm really done for now, maybe tomorrow I'll try to sub 1:29 again, 'cause the stupid game simply doesn't want to give me a great run, I got a 1:29:00(Taped) but no sub 1:29, BTW I have a new record for the set of springs: 39:80! I have it taped too if you guys want to see it :D

ya'll just don't stop over-crediting me.. I can't believe Brian thinks he's third... he's not even close to second. how in the world can someone who is 6th in the game overall and ranked SECOND overall in the times division be worse than someone like me who is only good at one type of level? come on Brian.. you're #1 by far at the moment. don't be silly!

I don't count my abilities in other stages, I just count my Sonic/Shadow ability, maybe we'll never come to a deal about this xD, but I'll make a list of things that make me think this way, then I'll show you guys why I'm the 3rd.

1-Paragod
2(since we can't put 1.5)-PoT
