Well, neither of us could get rings to reappear at the top. I can't load the savestate, I don't know why. If you insist it is possible then set 172 as the maximum, because you CAN get that total every single time without getting any rings more than once or using any glitches. It requires a counter-intuitive approach to the level but I don't want to give away the secret unless you tell me how the SB1 screen wrap works ;-)

I could record it, but don't want to give away the secret :) I've figured out what I'm doing differently now - the most obvious method gives 169. It's nothing to do with glitches or anything, in fact I think it's rather clever :D
Regarding the disappearing and reappearing rings along the top of the level - if they're missing on the run from left to right they're always there when you run back from right to left again. I was wrong earlier about being able to get 173. In fact what had happened was I'd collected one less and then got it on the way back. I haven't seen any other problems with rings in this level.
I also just got a score of 29830 on Labyrinth 1 when there were 4 people tied for 1st on 29630. It requires a bit of luck with how those burrobots move...
Beating records where so many people are tied for 1st on a particular score / ring count is very cool and rewarding! I'm enjoying this again after years away.
Question regarding Spring Yard - isn't it possible to repeatedly get 10 points for bouncing off those stars? Wouldn't the best score strategy therefore be to do that as much as possible and finish close to 9:59? Perhaps not so for SY1 and 2 since there's the 50000 bonus but what about SY3?
Question about the charts - why do some entries appear twice? Also why do some say "no rankings" when there are rankings?

I'm able to consistently get 172 rings every single time though... what are your methods?
I haven't noticed any disappearance or reappearance of rings / ring boxes apart from 1 time when I think 1 extra ring appeared somewhere which might have given me 173 if I'd managed to complete it. But it seems to me like 172 is the natural maximum because there is a foolproof way to achieve it every time. There are no rings I get more than once.
I've also been doing Marble 1 recently, and yeah, my score of 74300 is definitely wrong :) I've submitted 29530, the limit is around 30300 probably.
It's normal for those red score things at the end to say that they're worth 100 but actually be worth 10 right?

I've deleted my Marble 2 score just in case.
I've also achieved 172 rings and a score of 20500 on Scrap Brain 2. Previously 5 people had the top ring count of 169 and the leading scores were 19400 and 19200. I must have done something different but I'm not quite sure what!

« on: August 06, 2006, 11:48:26 am »I think this case is solved.
And by the way ybbun, your score on GH3 is truly a masterpiece! It opened my eyes on that level.
So the likely problem is that I accidentally carried on from the previous level? Sorry for the mistake. I've now entered 100 for that level.
As for GH3, I really can't remember doing the scores :S I must have been clever somehow...
I'm going to do some experimentation with Marble 2, where I have a high score:
1 sonichero 238830
2 ybbun 133320
3 maggot 104530
Hopefully that's not also a mistake. I'll see if I can reach that high score again

I just randomly come on the forum for the first time in ages...
I probably made an honest mistake. It's definitely weird having a score so much higher. It was about 2 years ago so I don't remember doing it. Maybe I carried on from the previous level by mistake (GH3 I got 47500) so my score is actually 74300-47500=26800? which fits in with the other times better.
I also seem to have 2 submissions for the other levels I tried, and only 1 submission for Marble 1:
http://www.soniccenter.org/members/ybbun/sonic_1/scores
I don't know what that means or whether it's significant, but it indicates something is "different" about that score.
I'm an honest player and always tried to make sure my times and scores were accurate, so I'm quite confused about this and after trying the level just now got nowhere near the same score. Please delete it.

Thankyou for the help. I have improved my scrap brain 1 time.
I have also achieved 0.20 on Scrap Brain 3. It has been a long time since I have held a record outright... I will hold on to the secret for a few days, just to savour the moment.

« on: May 22, 2004, 06:39:52 am »
I don't understand scrap brain 1 - can you explain in more detail how to get 0.40 please?
Marble 3 - I can't see the video, it has been removed. I think my record is 1.26, I don't know how to get 1.20.
Scrap brain 3 - I didn't actually know about Cybrax's method when I got my 0.21. I have been trying it because with it I think 0.20 is possible...
Star Light 3 - There is a part where you need to be lucky (as far as I know). After you do a few loops you come out and need to keep moving upwards, past the side of the wall on the left. Usually, you hit the edge and fall back. Every now and then, it can be made though. I still don't have the record for this level so there must be something else to do.
Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been busy. I have an M3 maths exam on monday (any brits will understand).

Competition Central / Your next mission
« on: May 08, 2004, 03:36:27 pm »
I achieved all my times on the mega drive. I find it much harder using an emulator (Gens) because it plays a lot faster. If there is a way to slow this down I might be able to do better. There is also a slight delay between pressing buttons and sonic jumping which I can't get used to. I can give away some secrets for some levels so someone else can try to record them maybe? Without my or especially Legogo's input, Sonic 1 won't get very far, although there are some levels where I am utterly confused.
P.S. Remember scrap brain 1 had 0.40 once until brian and xebra left? How do we get that?

What about the ending, with all those spike weights? It's hell to stay alive through all that, but if you can get around it, there's definitely time saved by taking some hits there. This does imply bypassing the invincibility.The invisibility means you can do it more quickly. You can get on TOP of the first spiked platform, and jump through the spikes of the 2nd, and over the 3rd, as well as running through caterpillars safely.

I am happy to refute any accusations of whining. Please point out where it occurred in this thread. Obviously this will need to occur after a statement of not wanting to divulge your strategy.QuoteSo this is an accusation of cheating is it? Or is it merely an attempt to voice your frustration of my dominance over you? This silence suits me well because I have far more secrets than you.
No, if I thought you were cheating I would say it right out. As for dominance, all of my S1 times are first place times, so don't get so cocky. What I meant by my comment was this: as some of the top Genesis time attackers on this site, we have a responsibility to the community to uphold certain standards of honor and decency, which includes not whining when someone chooses to keep a strategy to themselves. Additionally, a courtesy we can provide is supplying picture proof for our times. You don't do that, and I disagree with it, but it is your choice.
Oh, and play more S3TA, it looks to be getting fun soon. If FoxLuc knocks another 10 seconds off his overall tally, I just might be motivated enough to start playing again and really heat up the competition.
I don't have a digital camera, and if I did, it would be far too much effort uploading picture proof on my slow connection without the time being disputed in the first place. Since you believe me, what's the point?
Oh, and the reason all your S1 times are first place is because you only bother to upload the ones you are good at. I would happily withdraw my times where they are not first place if I could, if that was how you measured dominance. My statement still stands: I have more secret information than you.

No, I don't think I'll supply a video for this one. At least I have provided video proof that I can blast through a couple other levels like none other (and picture proof for S3TA), so I think my wild claims of an 0"18 have a bit of street cred because of that. That's more than can be said of you, ybbun, so either figure it out yourself or quit your bitchin'.So this is an accusation of cheating is it?
