TSC Race Night / Re: Race nights so far...
« on: September 23, 2012, 08:50:33 pm »
I apologise again for turning up late for the S3K race; it took me a while to set up IRC (which, I know, I should have made sure of in advance). I'll definitely join a Sonic 2 race if one takes place.

I think of this measure as a way to stimulate competition, as you have one more variable to deal with.

But, now that you've clarified you meant one division per character, it would double the amount of time required to get a full stat sheet, which is already formidable in S3&K. That certainly wouldn't stimulate me to compete; it would put me off altogether. I know I can't speak for everyone, but I wouldn't be suprised if other newcomers were similarly deterred.

33
Oddly enough, you removed the bans for all the S3TA glitches yourself, which implies that currently the Freestyle divisions for all the 3 games are being used exclusively for Super/Hyper times.

Except it doesn't. It might mean that there's no reason for using Freestyle other than to post Super times, but certainly S2 at least currently has quite a lot of times posted in it that I don't think are possible with Super.

Additionally, for S3&K we'd have a single category where you can choose either playing as Super or Hyper characters

To clarify, do you mean Super and Hyper would be lumped together (but there would still be three Super/Hyper categories for the three characters), or that it would all be lumped into a single category?

I'm against it.

Firstly, competing in such divisions would require using cheats -- I understand that in S4 it's an integral part of the game.

Adding an extra "times" division would bias the overall rankings even further in favour of times.

In S2 at least, it would almost always (perhaps always) be slower to use Super Sonic (because you have to collect 50 rings). So what's the point?

S4 has Super divisions for times and scores, and you haven't made clear whether you propose to add both for S2/S3. Scores would be really annoying for S2 in particular because you would have to avoid transforming throughout the level, and then transform at the end to comply with the letter of the law. Again, this would generate a feeling of "why are you making me do this?"

S3&K is daunting enough already -- you have to replay each level with three characters as well as having three divisions to compete in. If you're going to add Super, I suppose it would have to be Super for all three, and why not Hyper while we're about it? That would drain all the fun out of competing.

I'm tempted to join in even though I'm likely to come last ;)

Completely stuck on SL1. I'm near the beginning, and just cannot work out how you get up enough speed to go up the slope and get the long vertical line of 14 rings. I think I just suck at this game :(

Thanks, both of you, but as I said, I don't want to "spoil" the solution for myself; I feel that would take away the fun and satisfaction from the challenge. I don't mind asking for help with glitches as I'm new to doing Sonic challenges, and having to find the glitches for myself seems like it might be too much, but I still want to work out for myself how to implement them to find a route.

I'll take a look at SL1 first, in that case :)

I'm also trying to work out how to get all the rings :) But I don't want to be outright told any of the answers, as then I won't feel I've truly earned them. However, if there are any tricks or glitches I need to know, that would be most helpful. If anyone wants to help me, how about starting with Star Light Act 2, which I've heard is the easiest?

Goodbye, and good luck. Sonic is awesome, but real life is more important :)

Oh, no. No-one explains the Barrel of Doom. You have to experience it for yourself :)

Gamepro: Thanks for explaining, I'm glad there's one less thing I have to worry about :)

DarkAura: Thank you :) This does seem like a nice place so far. Good luck with school!

Hi everyone. So, I was trying to get as many rings as I could in Sonic 2, and my quest eventually led me to discover this site. I've submitted in the time category as well, but I'm not very good in that department :) Going to try the other games now... I've actually never played Sonic 3 before, but I'm enjoying it so far!

So, quick question. What exactly is the "freestyle" category?
