TSC's TITANIC TUSSLE #6
NintenDan vs RPG vs douglas (Sonic Advance 2)
ah, good times.
Perhaps one of the better known rivalries to grace TSC's history, which started out as just a small little race to take the Championship.
Back in the day when zealous was the unquestioned King of Advance 2, and I had a horrible time sheet that was mostly times in dead last, I set myself the task of bettering them, with no real foresight into how far Id go. So I started out with Leaf Forest and got into the upper ranks, and then as I got through more and more levels I started breaking records. First just one level with one character, then a sweep, then a whole zone, at one point I think I held about half the time records but I could be exaggerating there to make myself sound more awesome than I already am if thats even possible *inhales*
At this time, Ninty had picked up Advance 2 and started owning various levels into the ground. His first was Hot Crater 1, I know I used his vid to get my time <_< Then Leaf Forest 1. And 2. And it escalated from there.
At this point it was just a matter of time before Zealous was knocked out of first, with myself not far behind him and Ninty some distance behind in 3rd. With an almost complete bracket in hand I was ready Ninty went and swept almost everything, the bastard. >_>
However, with almost no boss stat submissions, and those that were being substandard, once I finished my bracket I was a clear first by around 200 points. Then Ninty started raeping all the bosses too. As the gap got smaller and smaller it was only a matter of time till he took first. And he did. From this point it was full scale war. We would both TA relentlessly to knock the other out of first, the championship often stayed held by the same person for days, sometimes weeks at a time before changing. This went on for, Id estimate, 6 months. And what a awesome 6 months it was. After this it slowed down a little, and it wouldnt switch hands for months at a time.
Then there was the new kid on the block, doug.
Doug came out of nowhere with a bunch of impressive stats, immediatly catching our attention, and gradually whittled down his points till he was within striking distance of first place. Now I have no qualms in saying that we thought he was bsing for a while because of the genus incident (<_<) in Advance 2 not long before, but its a good job he wasnt because doug is awesome and stuff. Oh and I used his vids to better some of my times. By the time doug took first, Ninty had pretty much retired from the TA scene, and I cared not to fight back being engaged in competition in other games and procrastinating and stuff. As such dougs iron first held for a long time, up until, in fact, the addition of scores and rings to the weightings.
With scores and rings now in weighting, doug fought hard to claim as many records as he could in both these categories, and dropped his total to a staggeringly low 150 or so at one point.
Doug held first up until he had to fend Quartz off on all fronts, with the championship changing hands rapidly in the space of a week, however doug emerged victorious.
But all was not over yet! I gave one final ditch effort to wrench the Championship from him, with my spring spamming antics in the Score division.. >_>
As it stands, we were tied first for a while before Judgement came along and knocked us both out of first place, however doug hasnt given up yet, just a few days ago he improved a few stats aiming to get his championship back :o
CURRENT LEADER: Douglas is the clear winner here by far, having held the Championship for the longest and being the highest up of the charts of the three of us. I would be inclined to say I am a close second but my spring spamming antics lead me to not want to put that <_< And with Ninty now down in 5th place it is unfortunate to see him sliding down the charts with times as awesome as his :<
