Competition Central / Re: Got a challenge for you.
« on: March 12, 2015, 10:05:38 pm »Was 0:58 frustrating to get? I mean shit, how long did that take you?It took me about 4 hours, this includes studying the map and testing different routes. Concerning frustration, I think it's a very subjective thing, some get frustrated more easily than others. I, for one get very seldomly frustrated while playing the classic Sonic games, I guess that also relates to the games' characteristics; there's virtually no RNG, most ILs are very short and when you mess up, you can start anew in no time at all, thanks to level select.
I think the concept of time attacking a ring attack has a lot of potential.
Regarding Sonic 1, maybe we could make a thread where people can post their times and the original post gets updated regularly with the new times, so that you can see all the times at a glance.

General Sonic / Re: Question concerning Competition Rules (Sonic 1)

We are talking at cross-purposes, I'm not trying to make a case for allowing this.
I'm simply stating that, despite passing 10 months, this video would be fully compliant to the current ruleset. How should a new visitor know what's allowed if it's not stated in the rules but somewhere buried in a forum reply.

So, for some reason, the paragraph hasn't been added to the Sonic 1 rules.
Is this run submittable?

Competition Central / Sonic 1/2/3&K SS(single segment) charts?
« on: January 20, 2013, 05:57:35 pm »
To my knowledge there is no website, where people can submit their single segment times for Sonic games.
As a site devoted to Sonic speedrunning, I think it would add to the diversity, if it was possible to implement that feature.

TSC Race Night / Re: Race nights so far...
« on: September 24, 2012, 12:23:23 am »
So, I'll start off with a personal recap of yesterday's race, writing down my thoughts and impressions.
I, like probably every other member, based on the outcome of the poll, expected 10-15 people in the race.
When there were only 3 people present, 10 minutes after the scheduled start, i wasn't too worried, thinking the race would just be a bit delayed.
I thought, let's open tsc's twitch stream, to see if there's commentary...nope...well, let's see what streams there were the last couple of days...*clicks on videos tab*...ZELDA!!! o.O
By then the race already started...haven't seen a single minute of Sonic Heroes ever, i was happy to see werster(the no.1 ranked player for Sonic Heroes on SRL) participate. Sadly, his stream was lagging, but i thought that would settle.
Just seconds into the race, he started to break the record for most profanity in a video games stream and apparently ragequit after a few minutes. I had enough for the evening and closed my browser. :-(
After reading werster's comment in this thread, i can understand his outburst.
Maybe i expected too much from these weekly races, but there's no doubt, that it could've gone better.
So, i have some suggestions:
-add commentary to tsc's twitch channel
Not only was the marathon for a good cause, it also roused TSC from hibernation and allured 240 followers.
A race coverage with commentary would not solely reach the tsc members, also a broader audience who likes Sonic.
-finding the day of the week and time of day with the largest intersection among members, willing to participate
I know it's impossible to find a date and time that suits everyone, but we should have a fixed schedule soon, otherwise it's impossible to gain viewer loyalty
-pulling together
The most important point of all. Everybody knows the turmoil the site has seen in the last couple of weeks, maybe things should've settled a bit more before undertaking such a big project.
One thing is for sure, not only TSC, even the whole Sonic franchise is at a crucial point.
The classic Sonic games on the Genesis are running the risk of falling into oblivion as opposed to the classic Mario, Mega Man or Zelda games which are prospering more than ever.
TSC can play a pivotal role to turn the tide, so i say, let's forget what divides us and remember why we are here...

General Sonic / Question concerning Competition Rules (Sonic 1)
« on: July 20, 2012, 11:03:50 pm »
Hello everyone.
Due to the new Scrap Brain 2 level wrap, it is possible to hit the signpost but then fail the transition to the next level.
But according to the competition rules, the following paragraph
"* For all levels except the final level, if the game does not transition to the next stage, your stat is invalid."
is applied in S2 and S3, but NOT in S1 and S&K.
Has this simply been overlooked or are there reasons?
