I would like to visit you too Paragod, but my english is poor(My english lvl is what I write here, but to talk, it takes a little time to know what words go first the others xD), and my conditions(A.K.A "money") don't give me that possibility, but I always wanted to visit USA, expecially LA, but make sure, I'll do everything that is possible to go visit you, I'm not good at 2P, I won't be able to beat you but if someone laughs when I tell them that I lost in 2P, I'll say to them: "Yeah, I lost, but I lost to the best one" (y). Maybe I can go with jawzun, both with t-shirts saying: "WANNA PLAY 2P?"

I have only ever been to play multiplayer with myself(heh) but it did really suck without the bounce ball, but it still may be fun with another player. But full levels plus all the moves would be 100 times better. Of course we'd have fun, especially all 4 of us. since multi kinda sucks when we got tired of it we could all play an actual stage one at a time and see who can get the best time only having 1 shot(consistency!) or something else altogether.. I know this would never happen, but it is fun to think about.

About mission 2 and 5 I can't say so much 'cause my time(m2) was done with that old strategy, and I usually don't play mission 5. Be sure I'll try to get my mission 3 back, as PoT I'm a determined newcomer(and a little crazy too xD). I'll go for it right when I get my SA2B.

yeah I noticed you are a crazy boy, but that makes you cool :P

I(kind of..) look forward to you playing mission 3, but only if I am able to re-beat you!

Back to FR dicussion.. I got 2:11.29 (I think it was .29, forgot already) with using a checkpoint! I restarted at the first checkpoint, which I got to at 46.09, I do not know why I kept playing but I had a great SRs and got a 1:23.1 checkpoint.

I did not submit it cause I used a check and it was not 2:10.. unless you think I should break the tie?

Jawzunx · « **Reply #93 on:** October 22, 2008, 12:06:04 pm »

Oh, it sucks when that happen.
At least you've improved your time and you see that 2:09 closer now. I would submit it cause I would break the tie that way, but I know the feeling about beating your own 'no-check-abuse-time' by using a checkpoint :P

OMG OMGOGM GOMG OGMGMOGMODJTSKGTREKTKREGVMFRAIHZGIRAJN

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You won't believe this, I was reading a book, after a while I decided to take a break (like after 130 out of 200 sites) and I played FR just one time.

Restarted at the first checkpoint which I hit at my personal best, 45.5, then the run was almost flawless, no restarting at the last checkpoint, and I missed the goal ring at the end, it took me OVER HALF A SECOND to regain my position and homing attack it, and I still made it to unbelievable time 2:10.87!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSS!
And it further proves that with a perfect run, 2:09.5 is possible!!

I'm so ****ing happy now!

Picture coming soon if you need/want to see it.
I'm sorry I made no vid, but I didn't think I'd break it and I only had around 15 minutes to play!

Jawzunx · « **Reply #95 on:** October 22, 2008, 12:28:38 pm »

Ok, forget my stupid previous post >_>

Amazingly done PoT!! A shame you missed the goal but you still got sub 2:11. Unbelievable

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #96 on:** October 22, 2008, 12:41:29 pm »

Thank you Jawzun! I know it's unbelievable, but actually is just mean that you lose a LOT of time restarting at the last checkpoint. I hit the last checkpoint at around 1:22.4 btw..

X-5 · « **Reply #97 on:** October 22, 2008, 01:02:35 pm »

nice one, FR7! :) it is easy to get a new record when you are casually playing calm huh?
you pretty much did what I did last night, only much better. it is odd that you missed the goal, how'd that happen?

how did you manage a 1:22.4? exceptional run or great SRS? both?

I am definitely going to try to beat you today! The race to 2:09 is on! but for now, I gotta find where I put that silver trophy :( I really hate having that thing

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #98 on:** October 22, 2008, 01:06:32 pm »

Thank you! Yeah, I was totally calm, even at the end. I don't know how I managed that, but yeah. I also don't know how I missed the goal ring, I just got shot (form the middle of the boosters) to the right side of the platform and hit the invisible wall. <_<

Exceptional run I guess, even though I had to restart form the first checkpoint.
Let the race begin, now that we know that 2:09 is definitely possible!! and lol @ silver trophy :D

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #99 on:** October 22, 2008, 03:40:30 pm »

I actually just noticed now, but is that yoshifan going to heat up the competition as well?
I saw he beat Jawzun's FR time by half a second or so...

Jawzunx · « **Reply #100 on:** October 22, 2008, 03:46:55 pm »

I don't think so, he just improved some random stats ;P

Selphos · « **Reply #101 on:** October 22, 2008, 07:30:52 pm »

Damn, you guys have been chatting a LOT about this. This would be the 101st reply!

unfortunately I have little to add to the topic, except I suck pretty badly at a lot of parts of sa2. Don't bother trying to teach me how to not suck, because I'll just forget it all in a couple days anyway.

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #102 on:** October 24, 2008, 10:43:37 am »

Hehe, well, you need to play almost every day <_<
Go for it when you have holidays or so..

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #103 on:** October 24, 2008, 04:54:30 pm »

Umm, anyone got some tips on Mission 2 in FR? I can't seem to get it sub1:00 <__<

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #104 on:** November 02, 2008, 11:39:51 am »

small improvement, new time is: 2:10.7
I think I found another time saver, but it's difficult to pull of(like everything is at first) and it needs some testing..

PARAGOD WHERE ARE YOU??

Azure · « **Reply #105 on:** November 03, 2008, 09:17:30 am »

PoT, double posting is bad. Triple posting is... quite noobish really.
May I direct you to the "modify" button?

Azure · « **Reply #106 on:** November 03, 2008, 09:18:18 am »

Sorry for the bluntness of that correction.

Azure · « **Reply #107 on:** November 03, 2008, 09:19:03 am »

I just hate multiple posting, and it CAN'T go unchecked.

Selphos · « **Reply #108 on:** November 03, 2008, 10:07:43 am »

Irony ftw?

lol I keep forgetting that because I usually am on GFaqs and there's no edit button there <_<

X-5 · « **Reply #111 on:** November 05, 2008, 07:56:21 pm »

Hey FR7, Brian, everybody. (What's your real name? It would sound better than calling you "FR7" or "PoT" :P)

I have been away from evil-gotta-screw-up-good-runs sonic and the pc doing some fun stuff. Had a cool boat ride with the boat we've had for a year and never used, some exploration in the woods, basically lots of nature stuff. I love everything about nature and its wonders, so I am a lot happier now :)
Maybe the break will help me play very well and waste your new 2:10 with a 2:09! then you'll never be able to receive checkpoint aid ever again! What kind of time saver did you find? I am guessing you did not use it since your time was only improved by a little bit.

Stefan · « **Reply #112 on:** November 06, 2008, 08:24:55 am »

I remember when I used to be so into competition. i was never at the level you guys were (even at a single level, really), but it was still fun for me. I'm glad you guys are having a blast shattering records. Blow my times out of the water! They're pretty poor times I didn't spend much time on, so give them the rankings they deserve.

Hopefully you guys make up a new generation of SA2 elite.

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #113 on:** November 06, 2008, 02:52:34 pm »

You're back!! woohoo

Good to hear you enjoyed your trip. Meanwhile, I was playing FR and went to school <_<
Anyway, it came out the time savers don't really save any time, and I've been trying for days now..
Well, I still feel some little improvement, as I got 2:10.7 again today, but that with 2 checkpoints used!

So now I wanna see something from you again!

lol thanks, stefan! Tbh, I'm only good at FR, my other times range from top20-not even green <_<

Oh, my real name is Goran. <_< Yeah, unusual, Serbian name, as I am a Serb living in Switzerland. ^__^

Aitamen · « **Reply #114 on:** November 06, 2008, 05:31:06 pm »

Goran, huh? I like it...

one more thing to know about the peoples here at TSC

Brian · « **Reply #115 on:** November 07, 2008, 04:33:19 pm »

Yeah! You're back, it's good to see you again. I got my SA2B!!! I got it in the past week, and I'm improving some of my times, but the most important thing is... I got my Green Forest M3 record back!!! 2 days ago I was training my M3, and found a new way to finish the mission, then after some tries, I got 51:70!!! But wait, after this I could do a very good run and got 51:47!!! Hahahaha, Paragod if what you said is true, then I think I've maxed up this mission. Unfortunately it wasn't taped, and that is the reason, for me to not submit this time, I think that every sub 52 time, to be completely free of discussion, have to be taped. But I'll get it again and I'll tape it.

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #116 on:** November 07, 2008, 07:48:08 pm »

lol, congrats.

I think a picture would do it, actually. I have no vid of my FR time either, not even a screenshot.
Actually, just submit it, we know you're good enough for it to be possible for you.

Brian · « **Reply #117 on:** November 08, 2008, 04:38:43 pm »

Thx, ok I'll take a pic of it and put here to you all see, but I'll try to at least beat paragod's time again and tape it, just for proof.

finalrush7_ · « **Reply #118 on:** November 08, 2008, 05:33:05 pm »

Which reminds me, now that I can get 2:10.7 contantly (every 20th try), I should get a vid..

Brian · « **Reply #119 on:** November 08, 2008, 06:09:31 pm »

Really? Great! I'd like to see such extreme performance.
