Leaderboard Disputes / Re: ATTN: Sonicspeedruner, Nicur, and R3FR4G
« Last post by sonicandamy on July 29, 2022, 03:53:22 pm »My bad, I ment to put this here https://youtu.be/IT7-8WLgdgc as reference on how shitty the game is suppose to look.
I believe I remember like 15 years ago when we was talking sonic generations we all agreed that even cosmetic mods were banned too; had to be a completely clean game, this is serious buisness in a professional setting not a beauty pageant for sonic. Niczur actually looks the closest to legit and how its suppose to look, but idk what going on with everyones jacked up aspect ratios??? these arent clean.
im going back through the charts to clean this stuff up since TSC gona be poppin again like 2008 with sonic origins and sonic frontiers.
*** EDIT *** as far as speedrunner is concerned go look at that video thats muted. whats going on? look at the room. first clip its just his box... maybe a dvr box? 2nd clip theres now a stick of deodorant on the dvr box like he just started gettin sweaty from makin fake runs, 3rd clip the direction of the deodorant has changed? 4th clip the camera is zoomed in and the deodorant is gone from the view 5th clip its zoomed back out and the deodorant is clearly gone... bro wth.
its 2020 by this point, why you gota make such sus videos?!? xD

« Last post by SpanielWare on July 29, 2022, 01:07:28 pm »I'm not an expert on this game, but are you sure Niczur and R3FR4G aren't playing the PC version (I don't recall a rule against purely cosmetic mods for this game)? If not, then yeah it would be interesting to see footage of these runs replicated on the PC version or on console (and at least key input files for the emulator runs to verify legitimacy).
I feel like you may be jumping the gun a bit on Sonicspeedruner however; simply having the TV muted or on a different picture setting between recordings isn't much grounds to call BS lol. But again, it would be good to see some clearer videos if possible, for comparison's sake.

Leaderboard Disputes / ATTN: Sonicspeedruner, Nicur, and R3FR4G
« Last post by sonicandamy on July 28, 2022, 11:24:01 pm »Sonicspeedruner you posted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfQAvHdtP9U this is obviously cropped gameplay as that is not how the game would appear on a TV the ring icon is cut off on your TV and you may actually have multiple fake times cuz on the same TV you have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3pMfbrSDUE boss fights were the ring and the "T" is less cropped out and also no audio randomly on this one lol GG cheater. (seriously look more into this guy)
Nicur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE3r4LDbghE Is correct me if im wrong also emulator and is against the rules (believe this was a genuine mistake uploading to the boards)
R3FR4G https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIeODuVI-Vo SUPER OBVIOUS emulator/modded the health bar starts blinking on chaos. this is also against the rules, would love to see that strat implemented in a gamecube run though. (genuine mistake upload... probably)

Information Kiosk / Video Links/Archiving
« Last post by SpanielWare on July 23, 2022, 09:49:32 am »I realise this site's a bit of a ghost town these days, but thought I'd post about this anyway (maybe pedantic, but I think it's worth addressing).
Firstly, looking through videos for different games, I notice that a lot of the links are now broken; either the site/channel doesn't exist anymore, or the uploader took down/moved the video, or the player superseded it with a better run, etc. I would be happy to trawl through and make a list of all such submitted videos, so that they can be removed or the links fixed. (Also, I like the site feature where a video automatically becomes submitted if it's linked in a stat comment, though this results in redundant entries when runners improve their runs, as previous entries are kept.)
Secondly, particularly with all the embedded videos, it made me think, have any admins/mods made any backups of them? Just for posterity it may be worth doing, it would be a shame if a lot of content was lost. It would be quite a task for one person to have to download and store every video, but perhaps people would be happy to make backups for certain games and categories etc.

Information Kiosk / Re: Subsite Charts Down?
« Last post by SpanielWare on June 28, 2022, 08:02:04 am »That's true, although the links still exist; I'd wager the charts were simply taken down for maintenance/updates and never reinstated. Plenty of charts on the main site have been dead in the water for yonks but if nothing else it's nice to have a memorial of speedrunning days of yore. I like the compartmentalisation of tangential franchises into subsites; integrating them into the main site seems like overkill to me.
But thanks for the input, and I agree the M&S Olympic games lend themselves nicely to competition. Anyway perhaps someday when I'm bored I'll pester GerbilSoft on IRC again =P

Information Kiosk / Re: Subsite Charts Down?
« Last post by hfactor66 on June 27, 2022, 11:48:08 pm »I wouldn't be surprised if they took those down because of how inactive submissions were for those. I think most people come here for the Sonic games, although I wouldn't be against integrating stuff like the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games titles into the main site here. Might actually give me a reason to go pick up some of those games lol

Information Kiosk / Subsite Charts Down?
« Last post by SpanielWare on June 27, 2022, 08:19:04 am »It seems that the subsite charts (MegaMan Center, Mario Center, and Mario & Sonic Center) have been down for some time, at least the links appear to be broken; any plans to get them back up?
(P.S. is it still possible to change your forum username, or am I just being a moron and not seeing the option? =P)

Good taste in games ;P and I agree KirbyMastah is stupid good at SAdv3, must be the power of his memes.

Information Kiosk / Re: Sonic Colors Ultamite, Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania
« Last post by SpanielWare on June 26, 2022, 03:15:46 pm »Apologies for bumping a dead thread, but out of curiosity what makes Ultimate different to the original Colors from a speedrunning perspective? Does the game function differently enough mechanically to warrant a new set of charts (like we got for the 2011 version of Sonic CD)?
