Sonic CD Score/Rings + Time Warp: Yay or Nay?
« on: April 09, 2007, 02:14:11 pm »
I'd kind of assumed that it was another one of those understood rules that everyone was using Time Attack mode for everything, until I had a seemingly perfect Palmtree Panic 2 ring record toppled about an hour after setting it. After going back and reviewing all of the charts, other large gaps became obvious, like Stardust Speedway 2.

I couldn't care either way, but something needs to be put down in the rules, as it's clear to me that the majority of Ring stats seem to have been set in Time Attack mode aside from a sparse few.

Pros of Time Warp
  • More interesting competition
  • Tougher competition

Cons of Time Warp
  • Rules would need to allow Debugger level select, since regular level select is borked
  • Non-PC version users would need to create a save at every level due to aforementioned borked level select: Time Warp after level select returns you to title screen

Well, the rules do suggest you use Time Attack for charts if possible.

^Just wanted to make the topic public before I go around screaming "I call BS" and whatnot.
Also I just re-read the rules, only under Time Divisions does it say to use Time Attack mode everywhere possible.

Time Attack only is what I would say. The other one would be too complicated.

Although that would mean that you could get the rings from the angel statue in Wacky Workbench  Zone 1 Past. <3

I say yes, because Time Attack allows for Time Warps, although Level select doesn't. So the cons are removed just by using Time Attack.

Time Attack removes the time warp signposts.

Oops. Didn't realise. Is it possible to change your vote? (because I'm assuming Story Mode can't be replayed, I'm stuck on the damn final boss)
EDIT: Changed to nay.

I set it up so that you can remove your vote; ever have a feeling before you post a poll that somebody'll do something like that?
