That's a good point. Because Shadow doesn't save highest ring stats, I hadn't really given any thought to how to achieve ring attacks (I'm too forgetful to log my scores without a site like this in front of me :p), so I knew most of these mechanics, but hadn't thought about applying them that way. That's nifty. I'll have to give it a shot over winter break.

And thanks. :3

If you guys are going to abbreviate Shadow can you make it ShtH so there's no confusion plzkthx.

I don't like that acronym because it's too easy for people to make it crude. :p I just type Shadow or Shad.

There are rumors on the internets that I'm going to be getting a Nintendo DS (the ice blue bundle) and either Pokemon Pearl or the Sonic RPG from either my 'rents or my boyfriend. Aside from that, I'm counting on lots of cheap token gifts of an uncomfortably feminine, why-can't-you-be-girly nature from the rest of my family. Also, as far as I know no one's gong to get me an expletive deleted cake. I just want a cake. Is that too much to ask?

But of course. :) I know that some of TSC's rules on rings and ring accumulation are... interesting. So I figured it would be worth checking before doing ring runs.

...I also need to figure out how to capture my stuff on my digital camera, because as an English major I am obsessed with documentation. :)

But thank you! That's a relief.

Competition Central / Shadow Ring Competition Question

« on: December 08, 2008, 03:04:48 am »

Okay, so, maybe I kind of fail, since this isn't addressed in the competition rules for Shadow, but...

when competing for rings, do checkpoints count, or do you need to avoid them?

Thanks guys!

Sondow, I know about the chat, but my college internet seems to block the port or something. :( Maybe when I move home after this year.

And Quartz, did you see my epic maf alts? One is 3foldman. :3 :3 :3 :3

And yeah, Shadow Jacky, I'm not going to argue that Shadow has some horrible problems. But it doesn't have problems with the few things that really frustrated me about SA2, plus... YAY GUNS. :3

Hey, I've got a lot of stuff to look up and submit, and some of my scores I'm not... "done" with yet. That, and my best Shadow score is kind of fail.

I'll get submitting after my exams. I shouldn't even be on here right now, LOL. I have a paper to write and studying to do by 4 tomorrow.

EDIT: And because I'm an idiot and forgot this was a forum, not a chatroom, thanks for the welcome. :3

Oh, I'm used to it. I actually accept Shadow's technical inferiority to the 2D games (I refuse, however, to accept as such regarding SA1 and SA2. While the actual content of the game is kind of lamesauce unless you're a dork like me, the cameras and homing physics seem a lot more reliable and useful to me in Shadow, and less prone to wacky glitchery *coughBiolizardcough*.). So people can make fun of me. I'm used to it. :)

And thanks for the welcome, spin!

Hey folks. I'm Donna, or M. Or something like that. And I'm a newb.

I've been playing Mafia with a few of you, and everyone's been bugging me to come join... so I did. You won't see much of me until Sunday, though, but I had a few minutes and I figured I'd join up. On epicmafia, I'm donnashowl, 3foldman, and I roleplay as SonicThHedgehog (yes! I roleplay! No, I'm not going to bug you with it here. I know how to read, thanks).

Elsewhere, I'm an English education major, senior at a small Michigan university, a deconstructionist, a big old nerd, and a newb cosplayer. I like Sonic, Pokemon, and Doctor Who, among a lot of other things. I uh, I love pizza? I dunno

My favorite Sonic game is Shadow the Hedgehog. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I'm actually sort of good at it. Not as good as you guys though, holy crap. I also love the dark plotline, the way Eggman (my second faovrite character) was handled in it, the music, and the aesthetic. And actually making Maria Robotnik a fully fleshed out character and not DeadInnocentGirlTM. And the GUN Commander. Waugh, he's hot for an old guy. And the President. Man, if we had a president like that... Oh, and I think it's great how Sonic's character arc is deconstructed in Shadow, and how it highlights his hang-up with acheivement.

Can you tell I'm an English major? Hee.

I also like Shadow the Hedgheog best becuase of all the various options regarding gameplay. The Mission format appealed to me quite a bit, as does the ability to interact with objects.

And uh.. that's all I can think of that you guys need to know. Thanks for inviting me to your site! I'll get some records (that fail) up in the next couple weeks.
