alright fellas, can't remember how i found this site but I think i'm addicted to watching sonic speed runs. I never did anything mega on the games as a kid but as of late I feel like giving it all a go. It's like racing games but without braking- "go slower" never really settled well with me, that's why i suck ass at em. I don't actually own any consoles at the moment but i'll be buying a DS soon, I borrowed one off a mate and got the sonic rush LS2 demo on DS download a few days ago and managed to get 1.02, won't submit unless I get under a minute tho, and when I've bought it ^^. Don't get the wrong idea, i'm not trying to trample on your turf, I find beating my own times really entertaining and doubt I'll do anything decent by you sonic pro's standards. Nonetheless, I'm hoping to stick around the forums.

Cheers. Once I buy sonic rush you'll probably see me whining about how I can't do stuff, anyone playing this at the mo? Feel like I'm a bit late getting into it, but I fuckin love it. Excuse me if the answer is obvious i've not had the time to really delve into the forum/site yet, but one thing I did want to ask was, how do you go about proof of peoples scores?

You typically don't need to provide proof unless your records are suspicious.  We're a relatively trusting community.  Feel free to record vids or take pictures of your records, of course.

I haven't played Rush in a while now, but it's a great game. Perhaps you're the one who will finally defeat Skylights? :P

This is a good idea.

Somebody official make a topic that redirects to the rules in this forum.

Why don't you beat him? (I'm talking LS2 here because it's the only level I have lol) You're 2 seconds off, I'm 4 (just got 1.01.33 a min ago) Dunno what I could do to gain another 4 seconds, I'm thinking maybe something at the beginning- at the moment I'm doing what crowbar does in his video pretty much from start to finish, I'm sure you can get to super mode or whatever you call it before the first big slope, which he doesn't do on the video. (obviously it is not his best time though)

I was at my limit back when I set the time I got. However, I tend to automatically be better at things when I play them again months later, for whatever reason.  It's been a while, so perhaps I'll try and improve some of my Rush times in the near future, maybe even tonight :)

Ha ha wicked, well I'll have myself a DS and the game itself sometime this week, so if you fancy some competition I'm down with that, 'cause all my RL friends are fucking useless with video games. I've added you to msn.

welcome, along with reading the rules(Or just using common sense, works just as well if not better anyway) I suggest not stealing that phrase that groudon just stole because doing so is stupid and old and RPG doesn't care anymore anyway so it's just a failure of an attempt to try to fit in with the community.

Go ahead and murder him anyway, (please?) because they were always unique and I enjoyed every single one

and skylight's championship sucks, look at the point gap for second place, no one is even trying in that game because it sucks anyway so the championship will be weak.


and yeah, just keep in mind that some people aren't as mean as they might seem, which is just a select few anyway, everyone else is cool and stuff.

Your doing it wrong. :O

* 98ekim takes the entirety of his games collection on CDs, DVDs, minidiscs and HD DVDs and painstakingly sharpens them down to a fine point. RPG then waits for the opportune moment to strike, when Groudon is least expecting it, and rains them all down on him from the shadows, slicing him into ribbons.

Words from the Master. <_<

No,
ass punching
Implies only the most brutal of killings. And if I did it your way he'd probably just end up with a graze on his arm or something, since my game/CD/DVD collection amounts to about 10.
I'd probably do something like flick a joint at his face- burning straight through his eye and into his brain, then when his skull's hollowed out i'd use it as a bong to take a couple of hits, then take his remaining eye and shove it up his ass til he can see his own shit, pummel his stomach until he shits his eye back out, stamp on it, then make him eat it. Then I'd cut up the rest of his body and sell all the parts to corrupt prisons in taiwan, who'd then sell them onto corrupt hospitals in some 3rd world country, who'd then transplant them into UGLY 4th world people with like 13 toes, no teeth, and huge tumors poking out their faces. We've all seem them in the fucked up sections of magazines- that'll be (partly) groudon.

well since I essentially killed him first, you will have to find whats left of him after my brutal rampage and chuck your games at him then. Mind, you should probably use groudons collection instead of your own, that'd be a bit more ironic- and a far more fashionable way to die from your own games than those fucking koreans grinding WoW for weeks on end then dying of malnutrition

I don't remember asking any questions but hi2u2 Rick. Seems like the "killing people over a forum" has been milked enough here so I think i'll be leaving that shit out.
1.01.06 (edit: 1.00.64) on LS2 demo, I can't get any faster and it's pissing me off. A question to anyone- would playing the whole game through improve your play on specific levels, (even if you'd played said level through like 200 times already)?

Re: Hello

Playing the whole game through will probably help you improve on individual levels, on account of the use and experimentation of other techniques, and applying techniques you already know to more difficult levels.  An example of this theory would be playing a Guitar Hero level on Expert makes Hard mode on a different level oh-so-easy, even if it was previously difficult for you. Different genre, but it's the same concept, and an easier analogy :P

Apologies for the double post but i don't think this question's really worth it's own thread-  Is there any way to turn off your ghost on time attack? I just got a proper copy of rush (it wasn't on the demo) and it makes it laggy, which is hard to get used to. Latest time- 1.00.18 and thumb is caining like a bitch -_-

Welcome zcaliber. Your LS2 is already very good, I look forward to seeing what sort of times you will achieve when you get the full version. :)

Have you noticed any difference between the demo level and Crowbar's video? I've seen someone claim to have a time of 54"xx on the demo level.

and skylight's championship sucks, look at the point gap for second place, no one is even trying in that game because it sucks anyway so the championship will be weak.

lol

A lol really is all that ignorant comment deserves.

Hey Ben, I got the full game yesterday, and the demo level is the same as far as I can tell, apart from the fact you have 4 lives, no ghost, and no 'quit' option, which meant having to play it through or die 4 times just to restart the map -_-.
I've got a better LS2 time on the actual game, which I submitted (I figured as soon as i got sub 1:00 I'd submit). I Just started working on LS1, not bad so far. Working out the routes that aren't in the video section is gonna be a huge pain in the ass... Anyone who wants to help, better put - collaborate, then that'd be wicked, though chances are you'd be doing me more favors than I you, as I'm very new to this.
