Beef / Cybrax's complaint topic

« on: February 06, 2004, 11:19:07 am »

What was happening was that when you used to update times, it would think you wanted to update comments as well, even if most/all comments were the blank string "".

Now that special case has been excluded, and it works again.

Competition Central / Anyone use the prima guide?

« on: February 06, 2004, 08:06:36 am »

I was wondering about using the prima guide to help with looking for shortcuts. I know I have used the guide in the past with the Dreamcast version of SA1.

Not that there's any guide out there that'll help you here with anything more than giving out the maps...

I have seen the "demo" pages of the prima guide but it doesnt look as if you can gain any info about major cuts.

I haven't even played SH, but I'm going to say "true" to that anyway.

Its been quite sometime since I have played a sonic title seeing I also owned SA2 on Dreamcast as well. I recall getting the job done in a certain time mattered more than it does with heros for I dont see how time even plays into this game exept for the sonic teams extras. Thats why I like this site account of I like the fact of trying to get to the goal as fast as you can !!

You can always submit times for those older games...Anyway, on this site, at least for now, getting the job done quickly is the thing that matters 100%.

Another question I had seeing I am here... I also remember that reaching the gates with a certain number of rings gave you bonuses (shoes) for SA1. I noticed in heroes that you get power ups... I havent noticed getting anything differant. anyone got the info on this and if its still based on the number of rings you have when you reach the gate?

SA1 gave NO bonuses for checkpoints...only #2 did.  The SA2 schedule is: 20-39 rings = ring +5, 40-59 rings = ring +10, 60-79 rings = ring +20, 80-89 rings = speed shoes, 90+ rings = Shield, or Lightning Shield if you already have a Shield.  Again, I don't have SH, but there's some test data to possibly compare it to.

Competition Central / SA1 - Big's Records

« on: February 06, 2004, 07:52:59 am »

As you all know, this site does not track records in Big's stages.  I see 2 reasons for this: 1) the times aren't saved like other characters' (so you would have to write them down, and if you inadvertently press A at the wrong time, then the end screen goes away before you even get to see what time to write down) and 2) it's fishing!  Who cares about time?

Well, if you said "me!" to that last question, then that's the true spirit of a TSC'er.  And this, by extension, is the topic for you.

Basically, put up your times with Big and the records will be kept here.  In addition, there's a fun challenge that can go with this...

See how far you can get your fishing line to extend!  Fling it and move the lure around as much as you want...choose any stage (or Adventure Field) you want...you can even use fish to carry it off to a remote spot, but be careful if you try that.  The only thing that is NOT allowed is having your lure glitch through a wall and fall endlessly out of the level--if that happens, you'll need to press L+R to get it back and try again.

My stats:
Twinkle Park 0:24.01
Icecap 0:35.56
Emerald Coast 0:23.09
Hot Shelter 1:03.36

Longest line extension 80m
