Yes, I guessed it was exactly that, but I've been busy and haven't played for a while. You must have had a lot of hits in a row - did you manage to get to 10,000 per hit? How many hits do you need before it's 10,000 each time?

Here's a challenge for anyone - Marble 1 with no rings. It can be done, but it's really tough.

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #61 on:** August 21, 2006, 05:25:29 pm »

Hit 1: 100
Hit 2: 200
Hit 3: 500
Hits 4-15: 1000
Starting with the 16th hit, they're worth 10000 each.

maggot · « **Reply #62 on:** August 21, 2006, 05:44:57 pm »

That's it.
I think I got 11 or 12 hits in a row in my GH3 score (near the 10.000 but i did'n get it).

And I'll try your challenge :)

maggot · « **Reply #63 on:** August 22, 2006, 10:53:09 pm »

Did it! 1:26 run, lots of tries!
Two especific part were annoying. The beginner and the part right after you came out of the closed part of the level.

How about GH1?? Just terrible!

ybbun · « **Reply #64 on:** August 23, 2006, 10:22:04 am »

Yeah, that's annoying too, as are both routes of Scrap Brain 2, but they're both possible. I once tried to get no rings on all the levels; the only ones I couldn't do were:
Marble 2 (rings when lava is chasing you)
Spring Yard 1 (rings after 2nd springer)
Spring Yard 2 (might be possible if you can get over the star right at the end like you do with the one right at the beginning, but I haven't been able to do this. I think I came up with some weird tricks to do the rest of the level's difficult parts though)
Spring Yard 3 (rings with the spike balls early on)
Labyrinth 2 (10 ring box hiding important switch)
Star Light 2 (two unskippable loops at start)
Scrap Brain 1 (all routes have tunnels with rings you must get)
Some of the other levels are interesting challenges though. Star Light 1 for instance is easy but takes forever.

Thanks for the score info, SadisticMystic. At some point I'll get round to doing a GH3 score and submit it as a replacement for the current error. Then I'll finally have a full set of accurate scores.

Good luck with GH3, you'll need it.
Another challenge: the fastest time with all rings of the level. I'll do this sometime!

maggot · « **Reply #66 on:** August 26, 2006, 05:00:46 pm »

I'm just sad you have given up your old record, I'm sure it has no mistakes considering your gameplay...

ybbun · « **Reply #67 on:** August 26, 2006, 08:59:31 pm »

Well it might be possible but I certainly didn't achieve it! In the end I just ran through the level collecting everything, rather than trying to do the trick for that level. It was you who discovered the trick first and you're the only person who's pulled it off so congratulations!

I now only hold 1 rings and 2 score records outright so I'll have to keep the secrets to those, hope you understand hehe

maggot · « **Reply #68 on:** August 26, 2006, 11:01:14 pm »

Thanks a lot man and yeah, I understand you quite well! Your SB2 is madness!
Hope to see you more on the site! More records to come!

maggot · « **Reply #69 on:** August 27, 2006, 12:06:54 am »

I found another strange submission.
Jamixesa's time in marble 3 is an isolated record. His 1:19 is hard to achieve and it is his only submission in sonic 1...

Crowbar · « **Reply #70 on:** August 27, 2006, 05:35:28 am »

A little odd but not totally unreasonable: I had only one submission, which was an impressive record (Rush: Leaf Storm 1 Sonic) for quite a while before I submitted anything else.

maggot · « **Reply #71 on:** August 27, 2006, 08:45:16 am »

I see your point Crowbar. I don't know, it's just strange to me. And he didn't submitted anything in two years besides this time.

ybbun · « **Reply #72 on:** August 27, 2006, 09:26:27 pm »

Perhaps you should PM Jamixesa?

The trick with the invincibility at the end of SB2 is really weird - it's bizarre what you have to do to get the combo!

maggot · « **Reply #73 on:** August 27, 2006, 09:51:40 pm »

How can I PM him? I never saw a message of him, and I always used the icon within the message to send a PM.

This SB2 trick took me time to figure out! I have to test this type of trick in other levels.

EDIT: Yes, your score is perfect!

maggot · « **Reply #74 on:** August 29, 2006, 02:35:37 pm »

PM sent. Let's just wait now, hope he answer somehow.

ybbun · « **Reply #75 on:** August 29, 2006, 09:10:04 pm »

Good sleuthing. How did you manage to PM him in the end?

I also used the SB2 invincibility trick near the beginning of SL3. SL3 has FIVE invincibility boxes, and I get them all in the score run - but only one place to use the trick I think! It might be useful on other levels I agree, but some levels where it would be useful (like L1) don't have invincibilities.

By the way... Scrap Brain 3 has just been owned :D

maggot · « **Reply #76 on:** August 29, 2006, 09:59:59 pm »

Crowbar explained me how to send the PM.

Man! You're forcing me to get that 19! The time has come!
And that score in SL1 is evil!

ybbun · « **Reply #77 on:** August 30, 2006, 03:17:28 pm »

Nicely done with SL2, now we both have an evil score, haha.

I'm completely baffled by SB1 - I'm either 1000 or 900 behind you depending on whether that annoying caterpillar appears along the bottom of the level. Well done on a great score on that level.

Do you know how to bounce on top of the star at the beginning of SY2?

Good luck with 19 on SB3; everything had to be perfect, which was hard with the jumps at the end. You just need to keep trying and you'll get there.

maggot · « **Reply #78 on:** August 30, 2006, 06:07:21 pm »

Thanks!

What I do in SY2 is turn into ball in the middle of the corridor after catch the spring. With luck you'll go up when you hit the star. Not a consistent strat on this though...

And I will keep trying SB3 now!

ybbun · « **Reply #79 on:** August 30, 2006, 06:36:46 pm »

I've tried turning into a ball and pressing all sorts of button combinations before and during hitting the star and I achieve it about 1 in 50 - REALLY annoying.

It seems that if you turn into a ball at a specific place about half-way along you will hit the star and fall downwards if you don't press anything, so this seems to be the key. I think it's a combination of pressing jump and then up in the split-second before hitting the star but can't do it at 20% speed most of the time, it seems really random. Argh! I'm fed up of this for today

maggot · « **Reply #80 on:** August 30, 2006, 07:23:01 pm »

Talk about it... this is a level that I don't want to play for a long time.
I'll send you if I found anything there.

maggot · « **Reply #81 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:08:18 pm »

No answer from jamixesa so far....
No new strat on SY2....

But...

I DID IT!! The insane sequenced-jumps time in SB3 is finally done!!!

ybbun · « **Reply #82 on:** September 04, 2006, 02:17:58 pm »

Well done on SB3 :) As soon as I get a record outright, you tie or beat it hehe.

I asked the person who did the tool assisted sonic run for what he did at the start of SY2, he said he didn't have a particular strategy; he just copied someone else's work in progress. Did you spend ages trying to get onto the star over and over again? The star makes it so that it's just like doing any other level, but you can only try it every 2 minutes, ha.

X-5 · « **Reply #83 on:** September 04, 2006, 02:41:35 pm »

Nice job to both of you on SB3 0:19! it's gotta be so perfect of a run.. I tried for it a few hours after I got 0:20 but never manged it, probably only got 20.5 at best.

Now I have no S1 records left :( (1:13 Fzone doesn't count) maybe I should start playing again, I got really close to 0:25 SL1, I had 2 runs atleast where it was 26.0 on the spot. 24 Could happen if someone could nail that huge jump after the first red spring, but i've never done it.

maggot · « **Reply #84 on:** September 04, 2006, 04:31:50 pm »

Thanks Paragon!
I've never done that jump in SL1 too.... and would be great to have another active player!

Too bad to hear about SY2. I know what you're feeling, this move is VERY annoying. At least it is at the level's start...

X-5 · « **Reply #85 on:** September 06, 2006, 05:48:30 am »

Well I started up S1 for the first time in a few months tonight, but I doubt i'll be of much competition since I suck at 2D sonic games, but who knows what could happen with some practice.

After playing for an hour to get used to the game again I think i'll go for SB3 19 and GH1 24 first, since they're bearable to play unlike some levels, and it would be great to have 2 levels maxed out and never have to TA them again.

maggot · « **Reply #86 on:** September 06, 2006, 10:10:46 pm »

Good luck with those ones. The GH1 is quite a challenge.

I think the SLs are the best for a comeback. Except the SL3, they're easy and cool to try!

ybbun · « **Reply #87 on:** September 07, 2006, 10:21:42 am »

Those are very hard levels to do. In fact, getting the top time on any of the S1 levels apart from Final Zone is difficult (I've only managed SB3!) I think you'd be better off going for rings where you have several choices to be perfect, or scores (try Labyrinth 2 - 28130).

I won't be playing for a few days, am going away.

F-Man · « **Reply #88 on:** September 07, 2006, 05:31:59 pm »

When Jamiexa registered (that's probably like sometime when this website was first created), he entered some stats (some of which are still easily considered BS) and then left. Just saying that whatever stat he's entered that you were talking about, there's a good chance it's fake, but not so that he'll ever reply to PMs.

maggot · « **Reply #89 on:** September 10, 2006, 09:45:51 pm »

I don't think he'll PM me back or send a message to this topic too... What we can do about it?

By the way, I am really not convinced about Tails X's score in GH3.
