Also I predict Yoshifan's Westopolis vid to be in there somewhere...even if the game isn't liked much around here.

I predict that Grand Metropolis (Dark) and Cosmic Fall (Hero) will make it. The later because it represents mastry of the most challenging level in ShtH.
Ever know what its like to get pwned by a book? Sonic certainly does.

The Westopolis vid probably should be in, since IMO it's insanely hard to do what he did.
Grand Metro might as well, since that's probably as good as anyone will get for a long time.
Cosmic Fall, I'm not entirely sure about it.

And if Cybrax's Green Hill video isn't near the top, I'll call BS.

I wouldn't be surprised for the GM one for Heroes. That also shows skill w/o using TBG!

if I had a chance to redo cosmic fall (either of them) I would.  later after I did it and it popped up here, I knocked off 5 more sec from it and told yoshifan about it.

otherwise it just shows how going to fast can hurt in that game sometimes (among other things).  its still good for what I was showing, but I had myself fall in a black hole that wasn't shown in the vid.

TSC'S GREATEST VIDEOS #8:
Sonic Advance - Egg Rocket 1 - Knuckles - 2'26"17 [NintenDan]


That's two for Taco. Somehow he has a knack of making some really incredible videos. A few things work in favour of this particular vid:
* it's long - an impressive 2'30 vid will always be seen as better than an impressive 0'30 one
* as with anything Taco, the quality is impeccable.
* it doesn't use Sonic, so it at least gave people a chance to catch up. Taco is known for his impossibly fast airdash finger, which put him streets ahead on Sonic Advance 1 and 2.
* and most importantly, it incorporates just about every aspect of Knuckles' play and the quirks of Sonic Advance into the vid. The punch-spindash combination. Strange properties of moving platforms. Even a superglide! It's all there.

Now it's time for the MYSTERIOUS LIST OF MYSTERY~

#10: Ice Cap Tails (SA)
#9: Cosmic Wall Mission 1 Score (SA2B)
#8: Egg Rocket 1 Knuckles (SAdva)
#7: ???
#6: ???
#5: ???
#4: ???
#3: ???
#2: ???
#1: ???

Back tomorrow with #7!

In direct contradiction of this statement:

Quote from: me

here's #7:

TSC'S GREATEST VIDS #7
Knuckles Chaotix - Isolated Island 1 - 23"42 [Thorn]


Okay, it's an easy level. No enemies or any such things to dodge. Minimal (ab)use of game physics. But this is about the closest video you'll see on the site to something that is perfect. The moment of the run is towards the end, a perfect jump from side-on onto a right-facing spring, resuming running at full pace.

I'm already running out of things to call this list...

#10: Ice Cap Tails (SA)
#9: Cosmic Wall Mission 1 Score (SA2B)
#8: Egg Rocket 1 Knuckles (SAdva)
#7: Isolated Island 1 (KC)
#6: ???
#5: ???
#4: ???
#3: ???

Maybe tomorrow I'll let RPG do one of these.

Just watched the other 2 vids

I can't believe I never bothered watching that Cosmic Wall video, that was simply fucking awesome. Also, now I know where the golden beetle is

I've never played knuckles chaotix, so I really had no idea what was going on, but you did zip through the level fast as hell, so I found it entertaining as well

nice job Psyknux and Thorn!

Aww, I'm missing all the excitement. (I'd better be sure not to just skip visiting a forum again.)

I'm guessing that something of F-Man's will show up in the Top 10, but I can't be sure if they'll be noticed.
I mean, there are a lot of games and a lot of videos to choose from.
Anyway, Final Egg shows an insane glitch done extremely well. (Just how extremely
I can't be sure, though, until I get Dreamcast.) But I hope my Sonic Casinopolis video will show up, too.
It's not all that great, but it's a classic! It shows me fighting a version disadvantage.
And the move it introduced was used to make Final Egg in 9 seconds possible.

Wow, I stop coming here for a week and I miss all this excitement. Blame my computer; it died. >:(
(On the plus side, I have a much better computer now! :D)

Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on my Cosmic Wall 1 vid. It's not the best quality video, but 22MB is big enough (although I have a 33MB vid that's a bit smoother).

Also, it's quite possible to score more points; if you look at the vid I waste a little bit of time collecting all the rings on the fifth platform in order to get 20 rings at the checkpoint... >_>

...and I also missed a 10-ring capsule that was in plain view near the end... <_<

...also there are two (three?) enemies near the first checkpoint that I missed (off to the right; most people probably don't know they're there)... >_>

...and I could've gone a little faster overall... <_<

...I think I'll stop now. >_>

Although I will mention that it's possible to do MUCH better due to a glitch (which would allow for 'infinite' score...). :o
/me mysterious :o

TSC'S GREATEST VIDS #9:

Sonic Adventure 2:Battle - Cosmic Wall - Mission 1 - Score - 170990 [Psyknux]


Awesome. No other word I can really think of.

I don't remember getting any Awesomes in that run. >_>

(Though I believe I got every other type of tech bonus at least once.)

RPG if you're reading this you're a bastard and I hate you.

Now that that's out of the way, here's #6!

TSC'S GREATEST VIDEOS #6
Sonic Adventure 2 - Final Chase 1 - 2'33"10 [F-Man]


What is there to be said? It beat a standing record by about 15 seconds. There's skipping of just about everything, fighting horrible camera angles, and death-defying jumps... and that's all in the first 30 seconds!

Oh and by the way that is the greatest luck I have ever seen on those vertical barrels. Not one random stop! I call BS!

Congrats to F-Man for getting a vid up on the list - obviously there's not many who will. I'd like to think it's some sort of honour.

That really was a lucky run F-Man had.  I always end up randomly stopping on at least one barrel.  And not many people can still get exactly where they want to go with the horrible camera angles.  That was a good choice for #6.

Yeah well FUCK YOU ALL :O

TSC'S GREATEST VIDEOS #5
Sonic 3D Blast- Green Grove 1 - 0:51 [SprintGod]

Shocking, eh? That the video for the halfway point in this Top 10 List comes from the somewhat underrated Sonic 3D Blast. "Why?" I hear you say? Oh, you didn't, no explanation necessary then >_>

On a serious note, this video is in the list for a number of reasons. It owns. Hard. Sure, you can argue that its not a difficult level, but then how hard is Isolated Island 1? Its practically untouchable. Now I wouldnt say I am totally awesome at S3DB, but GG1 was one of my best acts (I do believe I still hae 2nd although I havent checked lately) and I cannot touch this time. Thirdly, S3DB's controls are pretty awkward in terms of precise manouverability, earning this video fame for atleast the next year!

And now :O

TSC'S GREATEST VIDEOS #4
Shadow the Hedgehog - Westopolis - Normal - 1:20:31 [yoshifan]

Again, you may be thinking why. Its because it showed us exactly how fast Shadow could go, and tore the level open. I really have no idea what else to say here, its like poetry in motion, Im running out of phrases describe the complete awesomeness of this video. Go watch it. Now. Thats the best justice I can surely give it.

<<The List That Was Without A Name>>

#10: Ice Cap Tails (SA)
#9: Cosmic Wall Mission 1 Score (SA2B)
#8: Egg Rocket 1 Knuckles (SAdva)
