I talked to Rolken about it and by next week, two new topics will come up on the board where we will be able to begin Early Competition and another to share info about the game. Me and Rolken will take the lead in divulging information about potential competition and other things about the game in this new topic so I encourage any who are planning on getting the game to give us a hand in this matter. Further discussion about SatSR will be directed at the TSC/Secret Rings topic but competition ideas will be addressed in a seperate topic.

Just thought I'd bring that out.

An update regarding proposals, I asked Rolken what his next goals are regarding the proposals and he says he's not sure at the moment. Most likely, though, if anything happens before he puts up SatSR divisions, Fighters will be the next on his list. If, and that's a BIG if, he decides to go at it again, Shuffle seems to be the next most likely candidate.

The following is a list of remaining proposals, yet to be addressed:

~~Shadow/Rings~~
Heroes/SS Scores
Heroes/Extra Chaotix
Advance/SS Rings
Advance 2/SS Rings
Advance 3/SS Rings
Advance 3/Rings (Bonus)
Battle/Times
Shuffle
Fighters
Riders/Tag
Riders/Survival Race
Riders/Survival Battle
Riders/Missions
Sonic Adventure/Twinkle Circuit/Fastest Laps
Sonic Adventure 2/Kart Race/Fastest Laps
Drift 1/Fastest Laps
Drift 2/Fastest Laps
S1/SS Scores
S2/SS Rings
S3(K)/SS Scores
Chaotix/SS Rings [Rule: ask Thorn...]
S3DB/SS Rings
Rush/SS [Debated..]

edit: Knew I forgot something. Thanks RPG.
edit: edited once again. RPG's inputs and people in chat incorporated opinions.

You forgot SA1+2 Kart fastest laps

And Drift1+2 Fastest Laps

Although some Drift 2 tracks shouldnt get fastest lap brackets

Updated.

Bilan · « **Reply #513 on:** February 15, 2007, 12:58:55 pm »

Also Adv 1/2/3 special stages for Rings?

Iono if that was brought up, but S2's are tracked for that purpose heh

KnucklesSonic8 · « **Reply #514 on:** February 15, 2007, 03:25:09 pm »

Updated once again. SS discussion started slight controversy.

yse · « **Reply #515 on:** February 17, 2007, 06:37:59 am »

Only other thing I'd add is a quick discussion over Sonic CD rings. Is it allowed to use gameplay mode or should it be required to get rings in Time Attack?

Also clarification on Heroes/Extra Chaotix plz.

S3 special stages aren't being tracked, and S2 is already up.

S3DB's special stages apparently differ in different versions of the game so they're probably not good to rank.

Here's the clarification for Extra Chaotix. We have TA divisions for Team Chaotix's extra missions. Since these missions also track score yet are different in some way, the proposal is to add SA divisions for the extra missions. The following stages would be eliminated from competition under the "we don't track Sonic extra missions precedent" (same mission but with a timer): Grand Metropolis, Rail Canyon, Frog Forest, and Egg Fleet. A little off topic, but I think we should add a ring division for Casino Park (Chaotix) and (extra Chaotix) since we have a precedent with Circus Park. However, maxing out rings for those two levels would be EXTREMELY hard.

S1 and S2 GG/MS are tracked and they have differing amounts of rings, not to mention differing time bonus' as well IIRC?

Re: S3DB, RPG has a point.
Re: S3 SS, my bad about S2. :P
Re: CD rings, both modes should be acceptable. I don't see why it should be exclusive to TA... Although there are no rules to say that so maybe this should be added to the list of rules Rolken needs to update.

Also, on the note of Rules, there was a note about distinguishing S1 from GBA, I believe. What about the VC version on the Wii?

edit: Most likely, so all of you are aware, in terms of what's next on Rolken's agenda, he hasn't said much as he's always 'busy', as you all know but most likely, after SatSR divisions, Special Stage divisions seem to be next on his list but anything can happen as was the case when STF came up (Sj's still in shock :P).

The VC version on the Wii is a port. S1GBA is a horrible remake.

Yes, I know THAT. I mean people who first come to the site questioning stats for S1 should know the difference and what's allowed and what's not. In other words, S1GBA stats cannot be used and VC can.

edit: Also, change your sig. ;) Lol.

Virtual Console, like Sonic Mega Collection, is emulation. But yeah, it's probably the same.
(SMC does have emulation glitches, by the way, but I doubt that the gameplay is affected at all.)

Isn't Shuffle pointless? Unless there's a score mode that I haven't unlocked, there doesn't really
seem to be anywhere to compete. (I'm guessing that you plan to play regular mini-games
against players of a set difficulty level, and then submit a ring score from that game.)
Mario Party is way better for competition, as it actually has mini-games that save scores.
(Of course, this isn't The Mario Center.)

Watch who you're speaking to... Grr...

Anyway, no it's not pointless; take this from me who's played Shuffle for 7 years. There ARE places to compete. I'm not going to bother restating it so look back at previous posts for more info. Oh, by the way, there are like 35 pages in this topic (under my settings). Good luck with that... :D

Got that right. Imagine how I must feel. :D
I can't wait to see ALL proposals up!

Forgot something.

Ring/Score for Sonic 2 GG Act 3's

KnucklesSonic8 · « **Reply #527 on:** February 19, 2007, 08:54:37 am »

That slipped my mind as well. :P
-> edited list

Jokes. :)

KnucklesSonic8 · « **Reply #528 on:** March 12, 2007, 03:30:36 pm »

Question: Why again don't we have Sonic Blast? Times I understand but Rings and Scores? How come?

I was gonna ask about Mean Bean but I think I remember why we said no now..

Bilan · « **Reply #529 on:** March 12, 2007, 04:32:24 pm »

Did this really need another bump <_<

The former, mostly cause nobody cares. The latter, cause you can get infinite scores.

Bilan · « **Reply #531 on:** March 18, 2007, 09:43:04 am »

Hey if you put blast up Ill play it. <_<

Bilan · « **Reply #532 on:** April 25, 2007, 11:17:02 am »

Why God Why did you bump this

yse · « **Reply #533 on:** April 25, 2007, 01:05:14 pm »

I feel the point should be made that I put the latest batch of rankings up, including Sonic R's long awaited shakeup. It's not recognition per se, it's just doing the damn work to put them up. I can't imagine how Rolk did this manually :x

Groudon · « **Reply #534 on:** April 25, 2007, 02:02:33 pm »

Took long enough to get the Sonic R charts extended.

I'm in school right now, so I can't upload all my stats. However, I do have the proof picture I provided to CS, so I can upload the Radiant Emerald times.

The rest will be submitted in 30-45 minutes.

P.P.A. · « **Reply #535 on:** April 25, 2007, 02:21:36 pm »

Woot, new Sonic R charts?! Seems I've got something to do this evening. ^.^

KnucklesSonic8 · « **Reply #536 on:** April 25, 2007, 03:13:09 pm »

THAAANK-YOU mike!

Sonic R and Advance 3. Hopefully, we'll see the rest of our proposals realized, eh guys? RPG, looks like this bump really was needed. :)

Notty, notty Groudon wants to attain the Championship while he still can. (How hypocritical of me, eh, taking SADV3 Rings already. :P)
And PPA, same here. :D

Bilan · « **Reply #537 on:** April 26, 2007, 02:42:01 am »

Not really, most of the regulars were in chat and those that werent realised anyway <_<

KnucklesSonic8 · « **Reply #538 on:** April 26, 2007, 03:09:31 pm »

So, ANNYWAY.. (and with that, I'm a moron on three accounts, if not more)
Ohwhile I have your attention: what happened, no STH2006 vids anymore?

Bilan · « **Reply #539 on:** April 26, 2007, 03:13:29 pm »

I asked rolk to take down my 2 mission vids like 2 days after they went up, I havent payed attention since then
