Sonic Central > Rules Revisions

Reviving this forum as I review some things based on recent events

<< < (6/7) > >>

Aitamen:
Um, I remember now what I was trying to say earlier, and will present it in a basic fashion so as to flesh out my reasoning...


--- Quote ---Scores must be attained in a single continuous run (without deaths).
--- End quote ---

SINGLE RUN...  watch this

Start Life 1
get trick bonus
die

START LIFE 2 (This run will be for points)

do run
GET POINTS FOR TRICK BONUS/TIME BONUS/WHATEVER
end run

Now, because of the wording, the SECOND run is still a FULL RUN WITHOUT DEATHS

Ok, example 2: (not relevant with Knux, which is why he gets his own specific rule for it)

Hill Top Zone, sonic (just because)

I get to the checkpoint, and I die... let's say I have a score of 200

I then finish the level with a score of 23000, which means I can submit a score of 22800, BECAUSE THE SECOND RUN GAVE ME THAT MANY POINTS

each life is a new run, and each run scores points.  As long as you don't reset the timer (which is banned in other rules), it doesn't count against your score, except in the case of knux in S2, because of the respawning of rings.  This is how the Rush rules allow
"Death Abuse" for scores.  The points aren't earned in a previous life, because they are not awarded until the completion of the level.  Thus, because all points are accumulated only in the final run, and the final run is the one submitted, I maintain that it's legit, until the rules are changed.

Also, why isn't there a score category for Introduction in KC?

So this means you can't die in SA2 to lose time, doesn't it?

Stefan:
Dying in sa2 would not only wipe your score to zero, but it would also reset your time to what it was at the checkpoint as well(it wouldn't help at all).

EngiNerd:
SADX: Why are Mission Mode RA's not banned?

Aitamen:
Yes necro, but my last post was bad. 

The "neither is dying after hitting a starpost" bit isn't redundant.  if it wasn't there, I could  get all the rings, hit a checkpoint, die, get all the rings, hit the next checkpoint, die, etc. I wind up with a 50k perfect bonus + 99900 Ring bonus + whatever points I earned during my last life, if that rule was removed.  It stops people like me from circumventing it, and it was never adequately responded to.
