I'll do either Emerald Hill 2P or Mystic Cave 2P.

CosmicFalcon · « **Reply #2 on:** October 29, 2005, 01:36:36 pm »

You can put me down for the 1v1 S3&K GP Mode.

yse · « **Reply #3 on:** October 30, 2005, 06:41:33 pm »

RPG nominated for one of the Sonic 2 levels, and Rolken gets Project Shadow 2 because he knows the levels. :o

*updates*

As previously stated, I'd do Death Egg, but he'd have to change the day or something because I'll be at work at the time they're doing it D:

I'd also have to practice because I'm still green on DE2. Though I could probably devise a strat by looking at the map.

Though, as I said, it probably won't happen.

sonicam · « **Reply #5 on:** November 02, 2005, 07:34:42 pm »

Isn't Death Egg in Sonic and Knuckles?

Also, I'd do Death Egg or Scrap Brain since mike wanted me to do it cuz this is taking place in New York and surprise, surprise, I live in New York where the server is. I just wanted to know, is Scrap Brain 1-3 and Death Egg 1-2 accounted for in the repective divisions, or is it just the first Act?

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #6 on:** November 02, 2005, 10:16:13 pm »

I'm pretty sure it's the entire zone soniham.

Actually, I'm 100% sure.

The player who accomplishes all acts of the zone with the fastest time will be the obvious winner.

Yeah.

As mentioned, I'd do DE myself had I the time. I should stop repeating myself. (Though that goes against the current IRC topic o:)

In other news, Netplay sucks the big one.

I tried NetPlay a while ago and it asploded my PC and my Internet connection went loopy for 15 minutes.

I might have to pull out of the Live TA Events D:

Unless Zizou makes some unsucky rules where all events are recorded, despite the fact I dont think he can read this X)

Taco · « **Reply #10 on:** November 04, 2005, 12:06:54 pm »

So is this all set then?

You guys should start those recordings soon. Especially mikey. Don't wanna save it for the last minute now...do you?

Granted, we'll probably win, but some of the communities are really preparing.

It's sort of like the turtle and the rabbit. That rabbit was like "zomg i'm so good I'll sleep" and then the turtle won :(

Don't wanna let our gaurd down, even if they look easy.

Ninty we are missing Death Egg, which I would take except for the fact that I'm inconsistent (not to mention the fact that I'm still green in act 2) and it conflicts with my schedule.

I mentioned to Mike that Dreadknux is having his own puter problems, but I don't know how that would affect his S2 marathon run. And, of course, all the talk is that TSF will have their arses scraped off the sidewalk.

Also, mike mentioned that he wasn't going to submit it till almost the deadline because he doesn't want people copying his vid D:

supersonicandtails · « **Reply #12 on:** November 04, 2005, 03:34:45 pm »

Are those the only games open for entrants? I might consider Sonic Triple Trouble/Chaos.

Taco · « **Reply #13 on:** November 05, 2005, 09:43:32 am »

It's only the gensesis games, and the master system games made as a GBA hack for some reason :/

If you're any good at Death Egg, then you're more then welcome to join in on the fun!

But before you do, you'll have to submit to me an entrance fee of $50 :D

EDIT: Actually, I wouldn't mind helping out. I mean, I could just practice death egg over and over again. Not only would I have trouble connecting online, but I won't even be hear for a good majority of the tournament. I'll be in New York :o

Maybe I can see soniham or something though.

supersonicandtails · « **Reply #14 on:** November 05, 2005, 05:09:02 pm »

Do the olympics take place live, or are they submitted recordings? And where can I get software for such an event?

Taco · « **Reply #15 on:** November 05, 2005, 07:21:20 pm »

Well as said, the only opening left is Death Egg Zone (Acts 1 and 2). I believe it's a live time attack, meaning you play online, but someone is watching and evaluating your performance. It's only based on time I assume

what about Sonic 2 player. Did Zizou say it was just based on time? or the way that the game determines the winner? If it's option 2, then you guys might wanna practice up a bit more....you know...get used to where all the powerups and rings and stuff are.

sonicam · « **Reply #16 on:** November 05, 2005, 07:46:59 pm »

Nah, scratch me doing Death Egg 1 and 2. The boss in Act 1 is too fucking annoying. I can't stand him and I think if I defeated the ass-hole, I would have gotten 3:10-3:30. The stage itself isn't too bad, just that stupid ass boss.

Also, Ninty, perhaps. :o Are you going to NY state or are you going in the city?

yse · « **Reply #17 on:** November 05, 2005, 09:47:25 pm »

Mystic Cave is still open, since RPG pulled out.

Taco · « **Reply #18 on:** November 06, 2005, 12:06:10 am »

we're going to see the statue of liberty and stuff like that >_>

Well, that's the area we'll be around anyway.

sonicam · « **Reply #19 on:** November 06, 2005, 12:09:47 am »

Then that'd be in Manhattan. I live in The Bronx myself, but I do like to travel to Manhattan, actually I was in Manhattan today. So perhaps I could go down there myself when you are there. :D Never been to the Statue of Liberty though. D:

I assumed it was the latter, but on reading the SO rundown again, it appears to be the former, which makes the whole thing even more lame than it was before, because now we're introducing totally unnecessary lag just so competitors can be TAing at the same time.

in 7/10 events, your main opponent is lack of keyframes. Freakin ridiculous.

edit: never mind, I am the dumb! I was reading the netplay TA rules.

yse · « **Reply #21 on:** November 06, 2005, 04:43:36 am »

Considering switching SM over from Emerald Hill to Mystic Cave, as having him on MC would free up EH, which I'm sure more people would prefer to play than MC.

And we still need someone to TA Death Egg... I'm just going to give it to the next person who offers, as all the top DE players are out of contention for various reasons.

CosmicFalcon · « **Reply #22 on:** November 06, 2005, 05:25:07 am »

Can't you give SM all the Sonic 2 netplay events, if he wants them? As the minimum is 5 players, but also with some of us only taking one event, I don't see why someone can't take three.

yse · « **Reply #23 on:** November 06, 2005, 05:51:09 am »

I figured with five being the minimum amount of players that two was an implied limit for one player. I'll have to check on that, though.

By which I mean, I'll get Rolk or Sprint to chase it up.

We're leaving thursday and returning monday, so we'll be there all weekend.

We're going to visit shitloads of other places though. Maybe I can give you a copy of my scedhule or something and we can like teh bump into each other and I can see who teh feck you really are :o

Rolken · « **Reply #25 on:** November 06, 2005, 09:44:16 am »

Taco when are you being in NY!

flyby and I are going to NY around Thanksgiving time; we're leaving the Thursday in the middle of the Olympics week, but I'm not sure exactly when we'll be in as we're going to Maryland/DC as well.

sonicam · « **Reply #26 on:** November 06, 2005, 01:24:26 pm »

Rolk, I knew you two were going on your honeymoon eventually... I doubt you'd care about seeing Taco after the stuff you two will be doing... :o

Hehe, anyway, well, sure, see if you can get a copy of your schedule then I might be able to see who the hell you are too. :D

Also mikey, if you can, please give me hints on how to defeat that god forsaken boss in Act 1. I've TAed the stage but the boss is just too much for ol soniham. D: and I haven't even started TAing Act 2.
