News and Updates / Re: Administrator Title Change
« on: April 29, 2015, 11:46:37 pm »
Of course being the head admin of tsc you are also the head punching bag, if things go wrong, we need/want blame you. we need to blame someone right? to avoid blaming ourselves. I think I speak for everyone when I say we dont want you to go though? can we at least vote on it?

Beef / ITT Anti-emulator propaganda
« on: April 29, 2015, 11:24:07 pm »

I dont really give a crap about self promotion, (if you're sub'd please unsub)  and YT doesn't pay me. I only want you to watch the first 41 seconds (the speed run equiped is half assed, and just to make it TSC compliant) this is completely for propaganda reasons.

This isn't a topic to start a fight about emulators, but rather to keep the attack against emulators going strong, if you want to support them, do it in another thread.

Emulators are horrible and promote inequality in our stats.

No one is superior on console.

63
THC98 I would like to sincerely thank you for your hard work. you brought to light something so many have tried, but failed to do, due to bashing, flaming, and eventually getting squashed/suspended/banned.

*high fives* you got the dreamcast emulator banned!

I hope you continue ur work and I wish you would expand into the dolphin and study, and eventually ban that, if not all emulators!

truth is the console for all emulators is the PC ( maybe mac or w/e too) there is hundreds of thousands of diferent graphics cards, cpus, and, motherboard, etc. combinations you can combine to these... there is a trillion possible inconsistencies.

and to the emulator advocates... I would like to say, this is were it has come to, orginally we simply wanted proof by video of your emulated run, just in case~ of inconsistencies. but you refused, and now a whole emulator has been banned with no exceptions. I expect the rest to follow suit, how long has the DC emulator been out and we just now discovered this? how long until the rest are banned?

again I would like to thank you THC98 you are doing Gods work, keep it up.

64
first off I would like to stress this this is simply just for fun and competition.

For w/e reason I have a sealed copy of Rune factory 4 for the 3ds I found in my house, so I thought I would do a give away. but make it into a bounty.

I want this record broken: http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_adventure_2_b/bosses/finalhazard

Stroy Time!:
A long time ago (loooong time ago.. 8 years? lol) I tried to beat this, but had no success. In the pass 8 years 2 people have gotten closer than me to beating this. I dont even own the game personally, I barrowed bertin/sylux's version of the game at that time. Your mission is to put this record to sleep.

rules: you must have very good proof you obtained this. In this day and age recording even a shitty video is easy possible. a picture might~ be acceptable but you better have a very good story to go with it.

**PLEASE NOTE** to obtain the prize you will have to disclose personal information with me via PM which will not be shared. in the case your not from the usa.. i might need some time to ship to you since im not familiar with shipping to other countrys/ or I may just award a cash value of the game over paypal.

FAQ's: is RPG allowed to beat this record and win the prize?
A: with the proper proof yes.

...also note if u dont want this prize.. you can still ebay it off and get a pretty penny.. you wont hurt my feelings ^^

Anyways good luck! I think this will be hard, but then again when the tsc community is focused they do really amazing things...so maybe it wont be...

65
Enough! the competition is over. Congratulations alakthorn! pm your paypal info over, and ill send over your grand prize sometime today or tomorrow! (and remember to pay your taxes on it)

66
absolutely not, It seems our friends at drexel are still using avast, or norton with their windows 8. which has distrupted our little competition. I should~ restart the time from the spot of the foul, but I want to hand out money, so, I've decided to give only 48 more hours to give everyone a chance if they wanted to submit before and couldnt/ I think thats enough time to for everyone to realize the site is back up.

67
absolutely not, if you get to greedy it might bite you back ;)

Hello! welcome to 2015!

I read a topic some time ago on tsc about records that have stood for forever. I kept that in mind when I originally did ghost kraken with blaze on SRA, I wanted one of my records to join that group. but here in 2015 i've had a change of heart, I've been inspired by the commitment new players have put into the games, so I want to make a game of sorts of it.

from this point on I will post no new stats to SRA including I wont even work on it behind the scenes all my stats are current.
First person to take my boss leadership wins... uhh 35 bucks (assuming u have a paypal of course or some means of money transfer)
and who ever beats my ghost kraken with sonic FIRST wins 15 bucks

RULES: the first person to beat ghost kraken with sonic is an instant pay out, the person who takes my leadership takes the competition into crisis mode, there is a 2 week limit of a new leader to steal leadership or the game is over. the game will last 1 year. in the event of a tie dealer wins (me)

Im posting the ghost kracken strat here:  http://youtu.be/wXfI1q49_eQ

diamond is currently in the lead with 8 points away, good luck!

update1: yes the punishment for the release of that strat is u have to watch it sidewards ...:)

UPDATE 2: Congratulations to tukezu, just pm me over ur paypal info and ill send over your reward.

leadership reward is still up for grabs

UPDATE 3: diamond has the leadership, if no one steals it in 2 weeks (by 1-16-15), the game is over.

UPDATE 4: Alaktorn stole the leadership two week limit (from 1-3-15) has been reset.

Of course everyone should agree with this, no questions asked. :D

I for one enjoyed the topics, I think its healthy for the community to have SOME kind of discussion going on; keeps everyone active. I did notice there wasn't a lot of responses from older members... a lot of topics of which I would like to hear their response, but hey, we can work on that.

that's alot of wtf moments. I kinda interpreted the topic a little differently. my wtf moment is this:

http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_and_the_secret_rings/bosses

this wont last long next year.

73
favorite boss is easily last chapter in sonic and the secret rings. Dont know the dudes name, but it's the boss you fight with dark spinned sonic. If you dont feel the burn in your arms, you're doing it wrong.

1991? your old, but that was actually a good read. so far I think you have portrayed our feels ( the 90's~ 95's club ) with much better adjectives about sonic than anyone else. man I miss them days.

Wikkity! / Re: Topic 9 - How did you become a Sonic fan?
« on: December 26, 2014, 04:45:21 pm »
my first experience with sonic was when i was 4 or 5 years old and I got a sega gen for christmas that came with sonic 3d blast. I spammed the game to hell and back forcing my parents to destroy the game. looking back now im suprised ive never tried to do anything competitively with the game nowadays.

what I believe actually pushed me over the edge to be a true sonic fan was the sonic SatAM tv show, I was always amazed at how cocky, and arrogant sonic was; These arent traits people normaly like, but I loved them. to this day im still one of the sonic purest; hes still by far my favorite character, and a distant second being amy. mainly because she likes sonic, and anyone who likes sonic is cool with me. (shout outs to marine the raccoon being my 3rd favorite!)

~you're to slow~

Wikkity! / Re: Topic 8 - Have you ever had a "Christmas Miracle?"
« on: December 26, 2014, 01:29:40 am »
my Christmas miracle was this year. I did not recieve a copy of sonic boom for the wiiu or the 3ds. So none of that akward "well it said sonic so I thought you would like it." conversations.

77
nice, I'll tell him. anywho, hopefully I will be getting sonic boom for Christmas.

...

Just kidding, that would be worse than coal. I think im getting new shoes, lots of ponies, and lots of cash to buy more ponies with. I got to save a little of that for atelier ayesha plus (hype) next month too.

Wikkity! / Re: Topic 6 - What's your favorite soundtrack from a Sonic game?
« on: December 23, 2014, 06:45:35 pm »
Im pretty sure everyone agrees thats night palace song from sonic and the secret rings was the best song in any sonic game, ever.

Wikkity! / Re: Topic 5 - What's your WORST stat on TSC?
« on: December 22, 2014, 02:26:09 pm »
easy, sonic rush night carnival boss with sonic, this is the source of all my evil. Everyone can get a good time except for me, even my blaze time is faster. This boss is mean; if you go to fast you lose, go to slow you lose, lose lose lose. I think this boss is a scam, and probably should be removed from the charts.

edit: and that turtle thing the boss drops is an asshole too.

80
...except maybe the AL boss on Rush. I've played that level for months & months at least once a day, whether it was figuring out the secrets or trying to get a new WR, I've been playing away on that boss. I played this level for at 2 hours on Thanksgiving at my uncle's house. (XD) My DSi's battery almost died that day, and all I did on it was play the AL boss.
 

If you like Al boss so much, it would be a wonderful christmas gift to see mike bumped off the boss charts completely by taking sonic, with that said I wanted to make sure you knew how to do this ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciPi3r-M6mc&list=UUgIOeOufBdFiBUdilYrEzOw

Its and easy trick and saves a good amount of time. we want to make sure you are provided with all the tools necessary to succeed.

81
...oh man, probably the unknown boss in sonic rush with blaze or leaf storm boss with sonic or ghost kracken boss with blaze on sonic rush adventure. one of those.

Wikkity! / Re: Your opinion of TSC
« on: December 18, 2014, 11:33:07 am »
For the sonic rush bosses. I know sonicandamy irl. He said the best tip for all the bosses is to constantly spin; keeping pressing left and right on the control pad inbetween hits where is looks like the character is spinning. he said while its still pretty random, spinning improves the chances of the boss doing something goofy.

83
*slams fist on desk* It's not over yet.

Let the seas rise, and let the earth tremble.

idc if its 30 days old, this is the most offensive topic I've ever had the pleasure of reading. If I could I'd so buy this site up in a heartbeat and anyone with half a brain would do the same. the name' the brand, "the soniccenter" has an enormous untapped potential base, that could be released "ready anytime."~

I wont even get into the discussion about streaming... I mean its not completely dead yet, there's room to grow a small group, but one mans booty can only get blasted/rektd/devastated so many times on air, and then its like.. we get it... enough. SRL will die

the funniest thing is, and even I've even been guilty of this myself(i still believe in stat control), is the armchair website runner. through the years bitching the site should be this, the site should be that. look at it, the site has stayed the same, for forever. take another step back and look how we are all about the same age. none of use are really old (anyone hit 30 yet?). now take one more step back. sonic boom is coming out, with a new animated series. along with it, there's your next generation. and the TSC fad will go full circle; the site unchanged, the new generation and us will unite.

A long time ago I had a vision of implemting a system to tsc I called the "emerald system" and I had an actual professional mock up with working gifs and neatly fitted them into the charts... basically I was gona rip off tsc and make my own site using this. but I never did and lost the mock up, but it basically looked like this...


http://i59.tinypic.com/153qxaq.jpg

now work with me here... how I had it, the names of 1st,2nd,and 3rd place were expanded to fit their emerald (3rd big, 2md bigger, 1st biggest).

this system would work as a different thing form sitewide rankings instead of replacing. I always saw sitewide rankings as kinda troll because, correct me if im wrong but it is technically its still possible to be sitewide champion without having a championship. (think about it, 2nd place in every chart on tsc)?

I always thought this system would honor those who try to be the best, instead of just simply flooding charts with half assed stats.

basically how this would work is for ever 1st, 2nd, or, 3rd place you got the site would award you with a master, super, or, chaos emerald.
Also if you tie a record or your record gets tied your emerald turns into a negitive emerald (as seen in sonic adventure).

how this works:
master emerald> negative master> super emerald> negative super> chaos emerald> negitive chaos

the purpose of this is to make sure elite players dont get owned by say... sondow sonic 3d blast ring chart garbage.

I know this basically doesnt have anything to do with whats going on, but since gerbilsoft is gona do stuff with the site I wanted to throw this suggestion in too.

86

(On that note, if anyone's got any ideas how the pages might look and wants to put together a mockup, that would be a great help.)


Seems preety straight forward how it should look, not so simple on gerbils side, but here is and alpha mockup


 http://i57.tinypic.com/rsyk9c.jpg

This should also be added? it might be easier (and more attractive) then posting a wall of text of the rules on the submit page?


 http://i59.tinypic.com/e871if.jpg

I think this is a big enough deal to consider this tsc 4.0 which I would like if possible for someone to create a new skin to celebrate?
on the flip side I would like to see when choosing to show emulated stats that your TSC version reverts to 3.9 with a little cob web on the sonic center sign in the top left... I dont think thats to much to ask?

alternatively you could just force the bad future skin when allowing emulated stats, and force good future skin when disabling them, if creating a whole new skin for the new tsc is to big of a task.

87
1. Version differences - When you go to submit a stat, after selecting your game, you will be asked what platform you played the stat on. You can select any of the systems the game was released on, or emulator (where applicable). If you played on an emulator, you'll be asked to enter which emulator specifically you used. These will be displayed on the charts in the form of an extra column listing what version the stat was performed on.

2. Proof - You will be able to attach proof to a stat on the stat confirm screen, in the form of either a video, a picture, or an emulator input file. Small files (pictures/input files) can be uploaded to the site directly. Larger ones (like videos) will need to be uploaded to an external site and linked. This'll be shown on the charts as an extra column with a small icon linking to the proof. Any stat with any proof attached to it will be considered a "proven" stat, regardless of the type. Proving stats is not required. However, unproven stats will be displayed less prominently on the charts (similarly to how it works on the ZSR leaderboards).

3. Charts filtering - This is what makes the above two features worth it. All stats will be displayed by default. However, there'll be a few new controls on chart view pages, allowing you to filter what stats you want to see and which you don't. Here's a few of the controls I have in mind:
a. Version - You can filter the charts so that only stats played on a particular version of the game are shown.
b. Emulators - You can choose to hide stats performed on emulator.
c. Proof - You can filter to only display stats with proof, or filter out picture proof as well to only show videos.


compromise of a compromise of a compromise.

Actually I like this though, because this action still pushes a user more towards console considering that their stat can be(and will be by me) disabled and outcast. While at the same time streamlining what stats may need to be looked into thoroughly and thrown out.

Perfect; this is perfect good job.

I guess the only question I have is will there be a way to link proof to stats that have already been submitted?
also will there be an option to update your current stats to what console you used?
edit:nvm saw the edit page part

I think the only con I have is potentially giving site wide points to submit proof, up to 10% seems high just to prove your legit. :/ but I understand that's not set in stone if anything just make the % lower.

What do you need to do to achieve that time? I've tried many many times, yet I can't seem to shave off the precious dew centiseconds, any tips or tricks that ensure the time you got

in detail supersonic / boost asap (obviously). try to do low jumps over trip plates (not sure if that help tho) after the 5th trip plate dont jump over the 6th and right before you land in part 2 boost u have to play with this. do nothing until part 3 and dont do anything until around EDIT: (Had the wrong time up)1:23:50 ~1:24:00 ( this is the main part you have to play with) and boost during this time (and not before that time). keep in mind ive never done this on console

Terminal Velocity act 1 super sonic 2:03:36

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtLt4VPrvD8
did this for fun and also hopes this eases tension.

(this part is serious though)
got this time via emulator all I can tell you about this stat is I got 2:03:36 about 7 times, and was never able to go any lower. (not that its not possible)

CURRENT THREAT LEVEL: mildly-low

report to the princess:
I will mention that while I was never able to obtain this time on a console, yet I got/ keep getting this time fairly easy on emulator. I still think the threat level is low considering I was never able to go lower then 2:03:36 on emulator. Until someone can beat this I think the threat should be maintained at mildly-low

its also hard to say if I ever broke this rule due to the nature of the level:
Any game running on a PC or emulator must perform at full speed while playing the game you're submitting for (60 FPS in most cases). The exception is if lag is caused by the game, rather than by bad hardware or emulation.

If I understand correctly you are more for scrapping the new rule parax purposed in favor of employing more trusted members to monitor stats?

that is something. It's better then nothing, now this site is about anyone calling out bs if you truely believe a stat is bs. I believe that maybe the disconnect here. Is it because people are to scared of being wrong, even though there is a better chance that they are right, to call out a stat in fear of being embarrassed? if calling more memebers "trusted memembers" helps (which I think might) so be it. I defer to my comment that its better then nothing.

I do want to put out though I severely hate cyberscore... but one thing they do, do right is anonymously calling bs.

edit:atleast the last time i've been there>_>
