Top Ten Sonic 3 Time Attack players? 8D

magnum12 · « **Reply #511 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:05:16 pm »

My votes
1. Top 10 most shocking surprises
2. Top 10 worst cheaters
3. Top 10 biggest idiots (n00bs, trolls, super fanboys, morons, etc).

Thorn · « **Reply #512 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:07:21 pm »

I really don't think we should be awarding stupidity, but maybe that's just me.

Maybe something like "10 biggest competition breakers", since in the last two months most of the charts have been thrashed. :(

Taillow · « **Reply #513 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:08:32 pm »

I thought there was a planned "10 top 'single-game' breakers" or something.

Stefan · « **Reply #514 on:** March 25, 2008, 01:02:02 pm »

I think I might be talking about the same thing that Quartz is, but last time around I suggested a top ten for people who dominated a single game (maybe 2 or 3), rather than did well across multiple games. It still seems like a fun idea to me.

"Top 10 most sitewide points gained in one month/the past year"
or
"Top 10 most places moved up on sitewide chart in one month/the past year"
or
"Top 10 most points reduced in one game/all games in one month/the past year"

Category: The Top Ten TSCers Of All Time

I want to put this out there before we begin: This will be our last top ten.

This will be the sixth iteration of the Top Tens, and we've had heaps of fun with it, and I hope you have too. But RPG and I are both tiring of it somewhat, and from a personal perspective as my involvement with the site lessens I'll find it hard to keep tabs on everything anyway.

However, fear not! I'm going to leave the topic open for another duo to take up. And the next time will be the Fifth Anniversary so make it big!

Anyway, on with the show. This top ten will, as the name suggests, list the achievements of the Top Ten of All Time: the very best of the best. Criteria will include:
* Level of awesome attained here, obviously
* Level of community involvement
* Invisible cool points accumulated over time
* Cool stuff done at other sites (The Elite, Fzero Central, mariokart64, etc - Cyberscore of course is not included)

The countdown starts now! 13 days to go!

:o

*speculates*

I fully support this category! :D

Sadly, it's the last Mike & Dan Top Ten. :(

For the next ones I think Thorn and Skylights would fit as thinkers. Both have competed on many games and know them well, are good players and are crazy TSCers that spend hours on our site checking its stuff.

douglas · « **Reply #518 on:** April 01, 2008, 07:16:42 am »

I can throw my hat in the ring for helping with the next one, although my competition knowledge is limited to 2D players really. So long as we can still hit you and RPG (and everyone else, natch) for advice, should be all good.

Shadow Jacky · « **Reply #519 on:** April 01, 2008, 09:08:25 pm »

ah damn...I'd be lucky if I'm even an honorable mention :(

there's a ton of others who have done more than me. I think I can actually name a few :O

Zeupar · « **Reply #520 on:** April 01, 2008, 09:14:27 pm »

I think you forgot about this. :P

Taillow · « **Reply #521 on:** April 01, 2008, 09:17:53 pm »

Nooooooo! I mean yes! No! Yes! No!

Well, if people take it up, only yes. About time it was top 10 of all time again.

Shadow Jacky · « **Reply #522 on:** April 02, 2008, 12:42:28 am »

Zeupar thanks, but it doesn't add up to the amount of win others have achieved throughout TSC's history.

DsSaster · « **Reply #523 on:** April 02, 2008, 12:48:55 am »

:O!!! The top ten of all time!?!?!

I'm surely not number 1, but hopefully somewhere in the top ten. :D

Zeupar thanks, but it doesn't add up to the amount of win others have achieved throughout TSC's history.

* Level of awesome attained here, obviously: What I linked. You are champion of the second most played game here, have discovered a lot of stuff, have even more records than Mike and you are Sitewide Rankings' 5th... Damn, you are a prominent member! <_<
* Level of community involvement: You are here from the beginning and are around the chat all days. You have submitted 1446 stats.
* Invisible cool points accumulated over time: You help other players and are one of the most pleasant TSCers. Also, you are modest (well, morelike somewhere between modest and pesismist). You make me laught many times. I think you have many invisible cool points for that reasons.
* Cool stuff done at other sites (The Elite, Fzero Central, mariokart64, etc - Cyberscore of course is not included): Nothing to say here. Anyway, I don't understand what has to do this with being a good TSCer. :s

So stop being as pesimist and modest as usual, I'm sure you will get at least an honourable mention and would bet you will be in the top ten.

Shadow Jacky · « **Reply #525 on:** April 02, 2008, 03:37:37 pm »

;_;

thanks Zeupar. I did used to compete at SMBElite though (before it was called EliteScores), although it didn't last as long as I liked and it was pretty dead there most of the time. still, it was awesome being there and I learned a lot about Monkey Ball.

Zeupar · « **Reply #526 on:** April 03, 2008, 07:21:23 pm »

This is a good opportunity to make that Hall of Fame maggot suggested a year ago.

Shadow Jacky · « **Reply #527 on:** April 03, 2008, 11:02:32 pm »

it would be a good time to implement that now.

DsSaster · « **Reply #528 on:** April 04, 2008, 01:11:35 am »

I agree...GerbilSoft, get to work. >:(

Official Opening

Welcome to The Top Ten TSCers Of All Time, our sixth and last Top Ten list.

For this iteration, we honour those who have made TSC what it is. Those that completely changed the face of competition, those that took it to unprecedented levels, and those who tried their little asses off but weren't quite good enough. (Bonus points for guessing who I'm referring to with this one after the Top Ten's over!)

RPG's leading off tomorrow with the #10, then it's back to me. It'll be set out like it used to be. And we promise we'll do proper bios this time. Or you can have my shiny Bronzong*. Or RPG's. I'm really not fussed.

The usual speculation should follow.

* I do not, in fact, have a shiny Bronzong, or even know what the fuck a shiny Bronzong is.

EDIT: I lied, RPG has the first two.

RPG EDIT: And you're not having my Shiny Bronzong, you damn jew.

Groudon · « **Reply #530 on:** April 13, 2008, 01:39:11 pm »

Shiny Bronzong

I'm throwing out a guess and thinking DsS will be somewhere on this list.

Shadow Jacky · « **Reply #531 on:** April 13, 2008, 07:12:39 pm »

yay it starts ^_^

Zeupar · « **Reply #532 on:** April 14, 2008, 07:52:22 am »

I guess these players will be in the top ten (alphabetically ordered): DarkspinesSonic, eredani, Mike89, NintenDan, Shadow Jacky, SkyLights, smizzla, SprintGod, Thorn and Yoshifan.

Magnezone · « **Reply #533 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:34:51 pm »

That he is.

TSC's GREATEST PLAYER #10
Shaun "Cybrax" Khoeis: The Innovator

And so, our Top Tens end the way they began. With one of the greats of the toughest competition of all.

To fully appreciate Cybrax's input to TSC, we have to go back to the very beginning. To the GameFAQs days. The days of 2 minute CE1s. When Cybrax had 1'53"70. He was that sort of player, obsessed with pushing the game to the limit. Of course, we know the limits better today, but that is no fault of the early players.

Mind you, it's not like there was no incentive to improve back in 2003/4. Back then there was SS101, Rayku, RPGnutter, and SM keeping him company at the top of the list. But Cybrax, like eredani and many of our other best players, had that nagging habit of getting a record back from a competitor in double-quick time.

The story, as compiled from previous Top Ten entries, of Cybrax's rise and fall is thus: In April 2004 RPG and SS101 attacked Cybrax's times fiercely to take the championship off him, which fell to RPG for a single day and then to SS101 until about August, when Cybrax went on his last rampage leaving everyone in no doubt who the champ was. And then Rayku came along to steal the throne. And so on and so forth.

A sad day passed on the 23rd of February this year when Jawzun made an incredible 1'10"60 City Escape 3, in the process taking Cybrax's very last untied record. But records are made to be broken, such is the nature of competition.

Cheers to Cybrax! And jeers to RPG for being an asshole about this!

THE TOP TEN

#10: Cybrax
#9: ???
#8: ???
#7: ???
#6: ???
#5: ???
#4: ???
#3: ???
#2: ???
#1: ???

Also, if you were in the chat and wondered who I was rolling the dice over, it was RPG, Douglas and Quartz. Sorry guys, but you were all really close.

I should shatter more dreams on my next post too!

Buizel · « **Reply #535 on:** April 15, 2008, 01:48:07 am »

For the record, mike had initially rolled a 1 on the die (which would've corresponded to RPG) but then immediately rolled again.

Not that I have a problem with someone else being #10. >_>

Shadow Jacky · « **Reply #536 on:** April 15, 2008, 01:51:10 am »

I miss Cybrax :/

he had a knack for to get you motivated and always liked to see improvements on any game he played on. I remember how excited he was on MSN messenger (I dont have it anymore so no) and all of the videos he'd send me (stupid dial-up back then).

Taillow · « **Reply #537 on:** April 15, 2008, 01:53:09 am »

If you rolled a die, I called tied 10. Write an article for the rest of us. And give us titles. >_>

* Taillow shot

But seriously, any chance you'll explain in honorable mentions?

* Taillow shot again.

Dunno what to say. Never knew Cybrax.

So this point has a lot of weight... :s Cybrax wasn't even in the last Universal Top Ten.
