Like, seriously. :(

Luxray · « **Reply #1 on:** April 13, 2010, 11:38:52 pm »

Because if i submitted stats, it would give the game weight and let you catch up to me. :C

MrSparkle · « **Reply #2 on:** April 13, 2010, 11:45:00 pm »

I never got to play s3 much as a kid, so its still a very new game to me. I was working on stats, but got stuck in Carnival Night 1, frustrating...

I'll try some more some day...

bertin · « **Reply #3 on:** April 13, 2010, 11:47:25 pm »

I may consider it after I'm through with the other games I'm working on. (SA2b, SADX, Heroes, All the GG Sonic games)

SB: I'm waiting for you to lose interest so I can take the championship more easily... fighting with you is annoying, beating you when you stop playing is just a matter of me getting better than you thought was perfect~

Strong Bad · « **Reply #5 on:** April 13, 2010, 11:51:37 pm »

Well, I'm likely going to keep trying to improve my stats for another year or so, and if any developments in the game occur then I would definitely continue to compete. So good luck.

I think the real question is: Why the hell does Strong Bad compete in Sonic 3?!

Strong Bad · « **Reply #7 on:** April 13, 2010, 11:57:40 pm »

Because I love Sonic 3 and it's my favorite game ever...!
If you want me to move on to S&K and lower your sitewide then just gimme the word bro.

Strong Bad · « **Reply #8 on:** April 14, 2010, 12:49:47 am »

So yeah guys, let's discuss general Sonic 3 stuff.

I love how precise I have to jump sometimes while going uphill to go as fast as I can. Adds a ton of more skill to the game which you just lost.
Anyone wanna ask any questions about S3?!

Bah, this isn't the right way to get a championship, I think... As a capoeira fighter, I like a good challenge.

I'll keep my efforts to get the best time chart in S3 so, don't think you'll have peace too easily, SB...

I had already thought about playing Sonic 3 more often and submitting stats. But I've seen some giz's of Spindashmaster, and I actually can't believe you beat him in every ring record.
I might start competing on it sometime but I don't think I'll be very good.

Werey · « **Reply #11 on:** April 14, 2010, 01:30:44 pm »

I think I should start competing in this. I hardly ever play/submit in 2D games, so yeah I'll give it a shot. :D

most of SDMs ring records were already perfect, so he didn't beat him in every one, only a few. he just tied him on the rest.

Strong Bad · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2010, 06:48:40 pm »

I only beat him on 2 levels in Rings, and he can at any point re-do those RA's (he simply missed a large ring) to tie them again. There are two RA's I still need to re-do, however.

Romulo: I am eager to see your efforts on the Times charts! I'm already impressed by several of your times, some of which I have yet to achieve. If you need any help on any stage, just let me know =)

Strong Bad · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2010, 08:52:40 am »

By the way, you guys should bug me on IRC over the weekend to record CN2-S.
It's going to be extremely difficult to get a good run recorded. I might be satisfied with like 1:52, actually. So much opportunity for error -_-

I'm very happy to know that I have a new friend on this very cool place... :D
Just for a starting, can you help me with the slope glitch in Ice Cap 1? (Just send me a pm or an e-mail telling me how to do it)
Also, I can help you with other speedruns if you want, right?

quantumcrash23 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:54:10 am »

I will hopefully be getting to doing some Sonic 3 records ;P

Ya can you help me too?

Strong Bad · « **Reply #18 on:** April 18, 2010, 07:08:16 pm »

Certainly. Post your requests here and I'll see what I can do. I believe in open competition, rather than keeping strategies to myself in order to secure championships or records, so just ask!

Hmm, can you help me with Hydrocity2?

FuzZerd · « **Reply #20 on:** April 19, 2010, 07:13:37 pm »

you have to die first and go through the left wall using the moving wall to push you into the floor.

Strong Bad · « **Reply #21 on:** April 19, 2010, 07:49:22 pm »

Yeah, there are some .gizes in the .giz topic. Always check there before posting here :P

As you know, I don't have a computer so, I can't use gens to see the gizes... I play only on my Genesis console. :P
Also, thanks for the tips, fuzzerd.

I can't view the files that eredani has on my gens emulator. They are gmzs. Anyone know how to view them?

FuzZerd · « **Reply #24 on:** April 20, 2010, 09:17:10 pm »

never heard of a gmz. but if they're .GMVs you need gens-rr to play it

surtic · « **Reply #25 on:** April 21, 2010, 08:12:37 pm »

^ Ya, that's what I meant. Damn, a lot of the shit I type here is always wrong.

MrSparkle · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2010, 02:48:05 am »

Why don't I compete? Because I have a lot fo trouble against som many of the bosses. s3 pushed the boss difficulty up a few notches from s2. Take Ice Cap 1. Theres really no time to react to the ice blasts, and there is no pattern to if its sideways or down...

If I can't beat bosses at all, not like I can do RA or SA either. There's always time attack though!

Strong Bad · « **Reply #27 on:** April 23, 2010, 01:44:14 pm »

Romulo: what, you don't have a computer...?! <_< I can try to get some .avi's of them up, I suppose... but why don't you have a computer :(

Because I don't have enough money to get one :( ... I always post my stats from a cybercafe or from my aunt's house. But I'll start my new job next week so, hopefully I'll get a computer (and a Mega CD for the Sonic CD competition- be ready, maggot!)soon...

...

uh... what are you talking about?

the icecap 1 boss is easy as pie especially as sonic. and everything he does is on a pattern.

and no s3 boss can compare to the metropolis boss. even the grabby guy at the end is easy in comparison.
