Just post stratagies here and times or if you need help ask here.
-
Why would you post times in here <_<
-
im not sure actually, but yeah just talk about the game then im not sure just didn't know what to say =P
-
RPGnutter: Me, Lucas, PoT and Paraxade were dicussing strats, tactics giving each other little tips on the topic that PoT started about calling BS on Hydro on the LD fourm. Kitsune said that it should be moved to competition central, which everyone agreed and is what Lucas did.
Anyway, don't worry about. I edited my last post on the BS topic so the other guys will know that its been moved. So if they have anything else to say or add, hopefully they'll come here.
-
yeah just the Hydro topic was about banning hydro not talking about Sonic Unleashed strats
so i thought id make a topic about strats instead.
-
i was in the middle of making a Pic for this site using Sonic and Warehog and PS just froze on me =(
ill have to do that later then.
-
zomg new topic!
-
er PoT what happened to your TA stat on Savannah Citadel 1 Day if you don't mind me asking?
-
lol, I made an error in the text, so I had to post another time and then change it back to the original time with the correct text
-
To be honest I did read the text but I didn't notice the error XD
-
I said "thing" instead of "think". <_<
Btw, got MSN?
-
MSN? Thats instant messenger isn't it? Yeah I got it but I haven't used it for months. There's probably a new version out now that I need to download.
EDIT: Just edited my profile to include MSN.
-
i have MSN anyone who wants to talk to me just add me its in my profile.
-
mine too.
-
Ok then. You guys can add me too if you like. Like I said to PoT earlier, I need to sort out my MSN, which I'll try to do tomorrow. My computer isn't very good at the mo.
EDIT: Very surprised by my score on Savannah Citadel 2 Night 0_0
-
How the HELL did you beat my SC2 night score by 13000??
-
im trying to make a picture for my sig but Photoshop keeps freezing on me so i cant do anything else because it freezes im going to use Sonic, Warehog and maybe Super Shadow/Super Sonic and its annoying me :(
-
How the HELL did you beat my SC2 night score by 13000??
When you start, turn to your left and go to the far corner. Destroy every pot there and 2 robots will appear. I critical attacked them both, discovered this when I was RAing the act. I like to look in every corner and destroy everything, you never know what is hiding. Thats why I found alot more rings in Arid Sands Night. There was so many hidden.
Also I want to know how the HELL Paraxade beat my SC1 night score by 14,000. I'm guessing two ways:
1) He was a lot faster than me or
2) It could be a SC2 job as in there could be robots hiding somewhere.
I'm not sure, but I will be playing it again to try and match his score.
-
Well, are you sure you got a critical bonus from every enemy possible?
-
how much more points do you get for each critical?
between 6000 ~ 7000?
-
Well, are you sure you got a critical bonus from every enemy possible?
Yep definately. Anyway doesn't matter now, looked at it again and sorted it out O_O
-
why what was wrong was it out by a small bit.
-
No. I meant I played it again, worked out what needed to be done to make it better and it worked. I got 7,000 more than Paraxade. I always write down my stats on a piece of paper and check it at the confirmation screen so to make sure that I don't accidently make a mistake.
Btw about your question on critcial attack. I think this is how it goes:
Blue enemies with slow QTE - 6,000 - 6,500
Blue enemies with fast QTE - 7,000 - 7,500
Robots - 7,000 - 7,500
Wizards and Wasp things - 8,000 - 8,500
Titans - 40,000 (yeah thats useful :D)
Big Mothers - 20,000
*Looks at above paragraph
I have WAY too much free time XD
-
lol thats good to know thanks for that.
-
anyone here have xbox live and Call of duty world at war just out of interest?
-
Paraxade, got the SC1 record back. :D
-
im guessing your going to try and beat it final then?
-
im guessing your going to try and beat it final then?
But..I have the record now <_<?
-
Paraxade, got the SC1 record back. :D
Hows that possible? I still have it look...
http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_unleashed_360-ps3/scores/savannah_citadel_1/night (http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_unleashed_360-ps3/scores/savannah_citadel_1/night)
Also sorry to do this but Arid Sands 1 Night is now 501 rings. I finally got the 10 rings I missed out due to the hook falling off. I think I missed the 10 rings right in the left corner where Sonic starts. I don't remember looking there last time.
-
Um, I was meaning SC1 day -time- ...lol
Anyway, nice find. Now I need to play that level again to get these. I'll have it today, though.
Btw, how come you're not going for any time records? I'm sure you've got what it takes to get a few!
-
I was just thinking that earlier today. I'm now so fast going from pole to pole and other stuff as the werehog. I reckon I'm ready to TA the werehog stages. RAing and SAing are my strong points. My TAing skills suck, except for Sonic 06 and now it seems SU bosses. So yeah I'll take a look tomorrow. I'm fed up with TAing bosses at the mo and will look at the werehog stages instead.
Also er yeah sorry about Arid Sands 1 Night. Because of me you don't have 0 points on your ring records. However at least we now know what the max amount of rings are for the night stages :D
-
Yeah i aint really done many night missions that fast.
And nice one final for taking it back lets see if Paraxade can take it back =P
-
Lol, I still need to seriously TA the bosses. I just don't like the bosses of this game at all <_<
Anyway, there's absolutely no reason for you to be sorry or anything, it's what competition really is. In fact, I have to thank you for actually telling me where the last 10 rings are. I max have found out myself, but this way it probably saved my a lot of time.
And no worries about the 0 points, I'll get these ten rings soon!
Breaking what people think is max is like the best thing ever. I remember very well what happened to the Final Rush time records, with the records going down by over 8 seconds!!
Anyway, I suggest you starting with DR1 as a nightTA, because the record there isn't maxed out at all yet, and it's a pretty easy and short level.
-
ive only actually got all the rings on one mission <_<
i should do some more even though i find them so boring.
-
Yeah I know I shouldn't be sorry. Glad that it sounds like the same 10 rings, it took me 22 mins to get that. Not too bad considering last time it took me 30 mins, but that was the first time in Arid Sands.
DR 1 shouldn't be too bad. I'll have a go at. I did try JJ 2 Night for a laugh and ended up with 5:48:xx which is 5 secs away from the record. I think I can make it better.
Lucas:
Why don't you try RAing night stages, its not too bad. Just do one every 3 days if you find them that boring. Might I suggest WI 2 first. There's only 151 rings and its nice and short.
-
i might try one tonight actually also it will get me some experience, so just check every corner for them and every possilble place you can find rings.
-
PoT: Thanks for suggesting to TA DR 1 night first. I broke the record by 2 seconds :D
Any more suggestions?
Lucas: Good idea. Thats what I did with AS 1 night and I found the last 10 rings. With WI 2 you only need to open the doors, get rid of the enemies in your way and collect the last of the rings when you get to the titan. Nice and easy and short.
-
Nice to see you got the record. Tbh, I'm not that good at TAing the night stages, but I'd say that Spagonia1 at night is the next easiest stage. WI1 at night has also an easy route, but the record's pretty low there already.
As you see, I got the 501 rings together last night. But I still have two points because Thorn and fke have beaten me in two levels <_< still need to beat them there.
I'm just glad Paraxade did not take the Mazuri record back, because then I'd have a bit too much work. <_<
Anyway, school's only for 4 more days, and I got no exams anymore. Time to improve on the bad stats!
I also just got a 2:04:48 on DR1 night, and I could probably save another second or two, but I'll leave your first record there ^_^
-
Oh man you were so close to beating me, nice one. Really you think it still go lower? I suppose so I got a bit stuck with smashing down the rocks, I had to hit them again wasting about 2 secs so yeah it still go lower. At the mo the DR 1 night time is fine. I'll play it again if somebody beats me or some time later in the future. I'll see what happens.
Well done on getting all the rings in AS and yes I too noticed Thorn beating you last night :(
So RR 1 and WI 1 eh. I was looking at WI 1 as well. I'll give it a go. I really need to get back to rank 6 and everyone knows good/not bad TA records make you climb up the chart quickly :(
-
I'm actually sure sub 2:00 is possible. I'm only on level 7 with strength, so upgrading that will give me a time bonus because I can kill the oh-so-many enemies in there faster.
Anyway, I got my 0 point leadership back!
I also have a new vid up for WI3 rings, so once you feel bored, check it out. I'm sure you can reproduce what I did (although I got a bit lucky on a part) and get at least 112 rings for 3 free points ^_^
Also, if you want go raise in ranks quickly, aim for stats that have many submissions!
-
ZOMG! I just got 3:28:00 in JJ1 night. Broke the previous record by 7 secs! My previous time was 4:28 don't know how I was a min faster.
Sub 2 eh. I was thinking 2:01 or 02, I don't know. I'm at max strength which does help especially with the titans and big mothers. When I was TAing DR1 the first fight (near the annoying flowers on the water) the enemies in that section all came together and I destroyed them in 2 secs flat. The second fight was pretty good. Maybe I'm not fighting fast enough.
Well done on your 0 point leadership!
I saw your vid earlier. Very nice. I won't be RAing the day stages just yet, but will have to see.
Btw a little tip to raise your levels up. I kept going to WI 1 many times. Destroyed many enemies (I found critcal attacking as many as possible will get you lots more EXP than normal attacks) and collected lots of rings. The rings I used to buy lots of chili dogs which give you 30 EXP. I think I fed Sonic about 600+ it worked. I leveled up my stats pretty quick.
Hmm. I'm now done to 8 lives. I think I'll stop TAing for the day, replenish my lives and TA again tomorrow.
-
Actually, I don't want to level up my Werehog yet. I've noticed that the blue monsters (the ones that give you 5000-6000 points) die form one hit when I punch them. That way I can't use the critical attack. And using the critical attack (CA from now on <_<) when they have full health won't really work, since I can't QTE that fast <_<
Got a tip there, since you've got full strength already?
-
You really Should Join The Chat (me and Paraxade are there) And you Don't Have to Keep Posting >:o

PoT, Here is Teh Tip : -Pause- <_<
-
Oh, wouldn't have come to my mind <_< thanks
And btw, how the hell did you get 135 on WI3? Can you tell me by my vid where I missed 6 rings?
-
You did not Miss Any I just found a Way to Backtrack,
It's Pretty Hard to Do i'm going to make A video (after i take back some Records *Cough*)
-
You took one back. My DR1 TA :(
I'll get it back another time... maybe.
I've never used the chatroom before. I'll come over and use it next time I'm logged in :D
-
lol
-
I want this game really badly. Just wondering what are everyone's thoughts on this version of Sonic Unleashed. As soon as my dad's 360 is fixed, I'm so getting this.
-
I don't know if you guys are still reading or posting in this, but just thought I tell you I won't be around so much as I was before for the next few days. My mum isn't happy about me spending so much time on the computer and competing in SU. You see I'm an only child and live with my mum who is disabled and there're things that need doing before Christmas. Also I'm in a lot of trouble at home :(
If you want to ask me anything or talk to me, I do have MSN now. There's is also Youtube or you can PM me. I'll probably only be on the internet for about 10 mins a day untill the things are sorted out, which could take a while :(
KS8: Its wicked. I recomend it :D
-
It's that good, huh? That's what I thought. It looks amazing! You can understand why I want it so badly.
-
Flying fox family comes before gaming if your mother needs help, then help her first and Knuckles its a really good game fast past on the Speedruns the warehog missions are good despite all the reviews.
-
KS8: Yeah I don't blame you. I wasn't happy that I had to wait a week and a half for it to come out in Europe :(
Lucas: Thank you and you're right. I will still be around just not as much. If I get my head down and work hard for the next 2 days, I'll be back full time competingwise. I will still submit stats but probably only one a day untill things are sorted :D
-
i was annoyed wating for it in europe it looked amazing but we had to wait as always.
-
Well you know what they say: 'Good things come to those who wait' :D
-
lol so you think that by waiting you will become uber good at the game XD
-
If only XD
I meant wait for a good game. I admit I wasn't sure about it but watching vids from Paraxade, fke and PoT, I really liked what I saw and got it as soon as it come out.
-
Uh hey. I'm new here. Where is the place where I can put my records?
-
^Click SUBMISSIONS on the left side of your screen. If you're competing in more than Unleashed, it might be a good idea to click Competition Rules first. View your records by clicking Your Profile.
-
OMFG you guys play this too much. -_- the Times are already ridiculously fast...
-
Nah. I just luv empire city XD
-
OMFG you guys play this too much. -_- the Times are already ridiculously fast...
nah we are just good and practise alot.
-
Ok, I'm going to put my pics in this post so you guys know I'm not cheating, also, I think the pics look cool and my TV is awesome.
P.S. I like the site, it's pretty cool, I'm a long time sonic fan, been playing since I was a kid in the genesis days.
Later!
-
I meant wait for a good game. I admit I wasn't sure about it but watching vids from Paraxade, fke and PoT, I really liked what I saw and got it as soon as it come out.
Lol, can't have seen vids from me, I got it on the EU release date, the 28th.
Also, hello to the new guys!
-
Hey guys, found some spare time today. Cool new people joining in, hello there. I see the topic has reached 3 pages :D
Anyway message to PoT and fke (if you're still reading this) I am 100% certain that RR1 night RA is 527 max. I wasn't sure at first because I RAed it last night at nearly 2 in the morning. I checked again when I was fully awake and yes definately 527 is max. When I got to the top of the clock tower, I had 467 rings. There are 60 rings from there to the goal ring, which makes 527 rings. Anyway just to let you know especially you PoT (with your 0 point ring count), I will be getting the full amount very soon, now I have figured out a way to get all the rings going down the clock.
Good luck!
-
Well, this sounds interesting. I can't remember how many rings I had before the outer part of the clocktower, but I'm sure I've caught every ring in the vertical line at the end.
I'll probably take a look at it again today.
I like how you just keep finding more rings. When a few people have the same amount of rings in a stage and say it's max, I won't even bother to search for more once I get the said max amount.
Btw, just call me final ^_^
EDIT: Well I just went over it again, and strangely, I only found 523 rings this time >_>
How many rings are on that long falling part? If I counted right, there should be 20. Anyway, you were right, there's 60 rings from the outer clocktower until the goal ring.
-
Ok final :)
I'm going to show myself up here, but whenever I'm RAing a huge stage where there is a guarantee that there are rings all over the place. I write down how many rings there are in sections of the act. I don't care if that makes me look like an idiot but it has helped me a lot and got me loads of records. Anyway did the same with RR1, I'll give you my notes just in case you want to use it, its quite useful. What I mean by section is Dark gaia barrier to Dark gaia barrier, checkpoint to checkpoint, Dark gaia barrier to checkpoint and vice versa.
Section 1 - 30
Section 2 - 46
Section 3 - 93
Section 4 - 118
Section 5 - 152
Section 6 - 232
Section 7 - 267
Section 8 - 299 (before the clock tower and after Big Mother)
Section 9 - 361
Section 10 - 401
Section 11 - 467 (after the clock tower)
Section 12 - 477 ( 10 rings on the first part of the clock tower)
Section 13 - 490 (13 rings on the 1st line)
Section 14 - 510 (20 rings on the 2nd line)
Section 15 - 527 (there are definately 17 rings by the goal ring)
I'm glad I made this list because I checked it this morning and ticked off every section. Which is why I'm 100% sure that 527 is max. I will have another look again tonight. I'm giving you this list so that you can use it to have a look around RR1 and so that there'll be another person to confirm it. Hope this helps you, its up to you to use it.
-
Very nice, thanks a lot Emma! You're definitely not an idiot for doing this. I do the same as well, but mainly on the day stages, since they just tend to have more rings, and more rings = more that can be forgotten/overseen.
Since you were so kind to give me that list, the least I can do is to check that right now.
brb 20 <_<
EDIT: Just did it, and got 527. your list is absolutely correct, except that section 2 is only with 41 rings, but the 5 rings are on the same platform.
Excellent job, all credit goes to you with my submission
-
wow good one fox and wrighting it down dont make you an idiot its clever so you know how many to expect in each section of the map.
-
Hah! I knew it! Now I just have to get it, I'll do it tonight. Then I'll be looking at CE1 night.
And thanks final I noticed that and Lucas. I'm so glad it worked. ^_^
Probably do the same thing with CE writing things down. I didn't do it the others because they were easy :D
If I do find any more rings in CE I'll let you guys know.
-
Yo. I wanna talk strategy.
So i'm currently (still) speed running Skyscraper scamperer day. (i'm in 4th place... 13 MILLISECONDS behind PoT/Finalrush... T_T) and i've been looking at the top times... they're about 10 seconds faster... My question: HOW IS GOING THAT FAST POSSIBILE!
I'm thinking glitch or somethin...
-
well there may be a cut that they haven't told us or its jst skill really if you spend ages spedrunning a track you learn it fast and improve your time by a few sconds just by that so there may be a cut but its also maybe people are just speedrunning it so much they know the track and where to go.
-
I do understand what ur sayin' but i REALLY think there's another cut.
I've caught up (almost T_T) 2 final rush and BELIVE ME that took AWHILE. I know the stage so well i can air boost the first shortcut and land on the area b4 the bomb tunnel EVERY SINGLE TIME almost garenteed!
I can boost jump over the first gap w/ all the floating ememies and land on the shortcut platform w/ the life up in its center w/o using the homing attack!
I can boost jump the 3 shooting enemies at the end w/ the ring line + rainbow ring behind them and land on the rail that that short cut woulda landed you on!
Yeah it takes practice but, 10 secs less than me or Finalrush? HOW?
-
there's a glitch at the beginning with the tunnel that goes across after the loop that saves a few seconds, see if you can find it. Other than that just better optimization, I'd assume.
-
Must be another cut. But it also might actually be just the tunnel glitch itself.. I don't know. I still can't seem to get the tunnel glitch done, and I'm not speedrunning the level again when the only room to improve is about a second.
-
I wish I could help you with the day stages but I can't. Just the night stages, thats what I'm good at :D
Anyway final, earlier I said I would let you know if there were more rings in CE1 night and there are. I'm 100% sure that 431 is max. I'm in a god mood today because I've taken the TA record for JJ2 so here are my notes for the last night stage. This time what I mean by section is checkpoint to checkpoint. I think its just easier.
Section 1 - 29
Section 2 - 50
Section 3 - 58
Section 4 - 63
Section 5 - 103
Section 6 - 136
Section 7 - 150
Section 8 - 176
Section 9 - 261
Section 10- 359
Section 11 - 431
Good luck!
-
Very true and very nice find. Just did it myself, and got the 431 rings in 22 minutes.
I've always missed these 11 on the sliding part, Idk why <_<
It's a pretty easy RA, but the section with the 6 or 8 rings that are between the falling pillars in the middle of the level are tricky.
-
That is true about the rings by the falling pillars. I can get every ring in this stage except those 8. I'll have to have another go. Hopefully will get them before them Christmas.
I'm glad I got the TA record for JJ2 night. That record was supposed to be mine. When you suggested to me to start TAing the stages about 4 days ago, I thought I'd TA JJ2 for a laugh and got 5:48. Well it looks like I may need glasses. 2 days later I tried to TA it again but couldn't do it. Looked at my time when I was back at the world map and noticed that I mistook the 5 for a 4. So it was 4:48 which was the record at the time. But when I went back online the next day fke broke the record and I was 5 secs behind him :(
Oh well I got it now :D
Anyway at least we can now definately say that all night stages are maxed XD
-
Oh yeah paraxade? Thats kinda vauge but i'll try lookin' for it i guess... thanx for the tip.
-
I wonder where you guys are saving 15 seconds over me on RR1 day <_<
-
Nice one on your night time on AS1 final, you were only 3 secs away from me. However I played it again this afternoon because I knew it could go lower I was having trouble with those tiny purple monsters. Anyway, this time the little purple monsters were being very good and I got it down to 5:16. Yeah go me :D
I only messed up once. I tried to do a Y charge on one of the monsters that come out of the water near the end and it sort of failed. Apart from that everything went really well. I reckon it could go down a tiny bit more, but only if its perfect. Its annoying having to TA AS1 night. Anyone who has TAed it will know why, I'm glad its out of the way :(
-
Very nice time! I hate that night level anyway <_<
I know I can get a lower time than I have now, maybe by 5-10 seconds, but it's not really worth the effort, especially when I'll still remain in the same place.
Also, I know that I used a charged X attack and it worked pretty well on these water monsters near the end. Might want to try it once you feel the need to TA that stage again.
-
Hmm a charged X attack. I'll give it a go if I do TA again. It was a really good run I don't know if I can go any lower. I'm good on certain stages but not all of the night stages I'll admit that. My fastest time on SC1 night is about 4:28 and about 3:0X is the record so I need more practice there.
I can see why the X charge would be better. Its more spread out than the Y charge. I did hit it with the Y charge but I didn't hold it long enough. Shame could've been about 2 secs faster there, I recovered very quickly. At least I found a way to get rid of those horrible fire wizards quickly and without using water, that was slowing me down.
-
SC1? Well, I know I have a...4:18 I think. I lost quite a few seconds on the first moving platform part. I just fell down there..had to wait till the platform get up and down again just to jump on it. But 3:03 by fke? I have no idea how that is possible.
-
So its not just me then. I will be having a proper look at it soon but no I can't see its possible.
Oh well got Dark Moray down from 1:44 to 1:17 thanks to a new combo. Also discovered a glitch in SU. Just uploading it Youtube now :D
EDIT : Its up. Here it is for those SU players who read this topic but aren't subscribed to me so they don't miss out :D

-
lol random find really bit lucky to find it nice Vid fox again.
and merry christmas to you too.
-
Thank you. I wanted to do something for a chrsitmas vid. This was lucky :D
EDIT: final just noticed your Dark Guardian time. So close to beating me, nice one. Did you have trouble with the gates with the third box like me?
-
Awesome video FF, too bad it's not of any use in competition!
I did the DG boss on my first try. I don't know exactly, but I guess I was just lucky and the monsters didn't attack me or push the box back, and he didn't rush at me. I wasn't able to reproduce it, best I've managed after than was a 1:26 <_<
And (early) Merry Christmas to you guys, too!
-
Yeah thats exactly what I thought. Not usefull but still awesome!
Well done tho on DG I found it very irratating to TA because he kept charging at me. I had to find a way to stop it because I thought it dragged the time. You saw my video by hitting him before the light touches him it stopped him charging at me and made the health bar go down a bit more.
I see you beat me by 2 secs at Dark Moray. I shall have to TA it again :D
Also got a really nice surprise. Just checked my Dark Moray glitch video and noticed a very nice comment from DsS or DA1 who I have a lot of respect for and I would love to be as good as him in Sonic 06. That has made me a happy little girl and I do mean little. I'm only 5 foot tall XD
-
lol, he only said "nice" >_<

Yeah I know but its still a nice comment XD
Anyway how the hell did Paraxade get 1:54 on DR1 night?
-
Anyway how the hell did Paraxade get 1:54 on DR1 night?
I don't know, but I really have to speedrun that level again when I'm at full strength!
There's still many things I'm missing because my Werehog isn't at full power.
I also need to get my DR1 day record back, but I'd have to have a perfect run there, and the level is so difficult for speedrunning >_<
I should also improve my boss times at some point..
Gonna make sure I have as few points as possible when Da1 comes around cause I know what he did in the early stages of Sonic2006. He did the same to SUWii.
-
Ah! Well then I better put some more stats in and get better.
The only time that DA1 doesn't scare me is at Sonic 06. I've taken several records from him and other pros as well. I was doing so well at Sonic 06. I only stopped competing in it to compete in SU. When I'm done with SU I will be going back to Sonic 06.
Anyway better go and play some SU and get better stats.
-
Anyway how the hell did Paraxade get 1:54 on DR1 night?
I just tried to go fast and got that. :P I'm sure it's beatable... by far the most annoying parts are the enemy fights though.
-
Thats what I did, but I got 2:00 could've got 1:58 if it wasn't for that pole thing going in and out near the end. Hmm the first fight wasn't nearly as good as it should be.
What combo do you use to get through the rocks quickly? I use X X A and something else. Is there a faster way to get through there?
-
For the rocks I just spam Y. Takes one combo to break them down.
-
Thanks I'll give that a go. It sounds easier than the one I used. I don't think I can beat your time but anywhere near it is good enough for me :)
Phew got my WI1 score record back. Need to get working on the others.
Final you asked me earlier on in the topic about tips on a max werehog. Heres one you've probably already done it but while you aren't at max strength, I suggest you do the score records first in the earlier levels. I had a bit of trouble doing WI1. I was too strong and knocked out a few blue enemies so missed out on a few critical attacks. Luckliy I've sorted it out now just made sure I wasn't too close to them when attacking.
Oh yeah and a max strength werehog is a lot faster at taking down the Titans and Big Mothers when your time attacking. Just really obvious tips. Thats all I can give you at the mo. If I think of anything else I'll post in here again.
-
hmm just here to say Merry Christmas to all of you hope you have a good time ;)
-
Thanks, and yeah, merry Christmas to all! :D
-
Merry X-mas!
-
Merry X-mas to all of you!!! Sorry for being the one who wrote the 100th reply, 'cause I don't even have participated of this topic :/. Let me ask something about unleashed... I've never played it, but I see the videos, of PS2 and 360... I've noticed something I want to know... why don't you use spindash in your videos? It's only your choice, or the game don't have it?
-
why don't you use spindash in your videos? It's only your choice, or the game don't have it?
The spindash isn't in the HD versions. And for the non-HD versions, you can only spindash at the beginning like a small start boost from Mario Kart, or when you use the boost while touching a boost panel. Just a small added feature, but can't be used normally.

Indeed. ZOMG 100 replys on this topic XD. Also...
Merry Christmas guys!
Hope you have a good one :D

You Forgot one thing, You can also Only Spindash when you change from 3D to 2D and When on a "Ground Rail" (no not a RAIL a Rail I.e. when you can't move Left or Right (oh noes Sonic06 all over again!) anyway, Merry Christmas, X-mas, Merry Birthday! And all that other junk :) (Also, Drink lots of Eggnog)
-
Just noticed that DA1 has arrived on the 360 charts... in style as always. So I'm gonna try and get as many good stats as possible.
You were right final DR1 night can go sub 2 infact sub 1.50 wasn't expecting it to go that low :)
EDIT: Just noticed your new time for DR1 night final. Nice one extrememly close to mine :D
-
EDIT: Just noticed your new time for DR1 night final. Nice one extrememly close to mine :D
Yeah, I'll wait till I max out strength and then go for the record.
Also, Da1's pretty clever going for the act 2's and 3's records, knowing that they're much shorter levels and thus easier to master.
-
Yeah thats a smart move. I'll probably be doing thats when I do the day stages.
Fke took my DR1 night record again. I don't know how he does it. Whenever I take a record, later that day or the next day he takes it back but its gone much lower. I had no idea it could go down to 1:41. I will also be trying to get it back but not yet.
I'm trying my best with the night stages so that DA1 won't take any records. Its taking me a while to score attack. Some of them I've been lucky. I have to be so careful when attacking in the earlier stages. I'm going to have trouble with CE becasue of the ice.
As for TAing well again I'll have to try my best :(
-
Alright, improve some stats today, mainly on the smaller levels. Saved 11 points ^_^
-
Nice one. Also I have reclaimed my Egg Beetle record. I finally figured out what fke did but tweaked it a bit more to get it down to sub 0:42. I was right my strat was nearly perfect so nice one fke I was very impressed with what you did to beat me by 5 secs.
EDIT: I tied with Paraxade on Dark Gaia Phoenix and that is eactly what I wanted to do XD
There is no point TAing this boss again for 2 reasons. 1) The run looked perfect and it took me an hour and a half to get that so trying to get lower than that would take hours. 2) I got the same time as 1st place so thats still a record to me. I don't mind sharing records :)
-
Finalrush... I beat your skyscraper scamperer time.... BY 1 MILLISECOND 0_o
Edit: Scratch that... I tried again and ended up w/ 2:21:17!
Ex Edit (0_o): Nice 1 final! I'll keep trying too!
-
My Egg Beetle time is only 44. :( I've got no idea how you all are getting 42 and 41. Guess I need to experiment some more...
-
I think I found a glitch... After playing Dragon Road Day 1 for a long time trying to beat the current record of 3:01 I all of a sudden had Sonic doing way faster jumps and if I boost jumped (jumped while boosting) it would send Sonic flying at some parts... It saved me a whole second within 20 seconds or so... Uhh, what the heck? I have no idea how to reproduce the glitch, but after I completed the stage it went away and sonic turned into a snail (I could restart the level and die, but completing the stage fixes it)
Has there been any word on this yet? Is this glitch something you can do in any level?
-
hmm nah i don't think its happened on my skyscraper scamperer runs... Tough i have seen 1 glitch there that has the potential to reduce times by about 2 seconds, unfortunately i can't seem to replicate it.
-

I'll help if you could give me some tips on Egg Lancer please?
Also about the missing 10 rings in Arid Sands, did you try the left corner as soon you start behind the pots? Thats where me and final missed them.
Damn it I lost Egg Beetle record I'll have to it again some other time. WTH I lost both JJ night score records!!! Thats it I'll going to get them back.
EDIT: Some advide please guys. I've TAed Egg Devil Ray finally worked out some little tricks that help, but as you know it really depends on the right pattern (as in the fewer barriers the better) to get a good time. After 3 - 4 hours of playing time I finally got 0:50:13 very close to the record. Is there any point in TAing again. I'd rather put the time to something else and I reckon it'll take ages for to beat my time. I'm thinking no leave it but what do you guys think?
-
Egg Lancer is mostly about managing boosts and collecting rings. Try to boost as long as possible and pick up as many rings as you can. As far as the actual strat, you need to hit it by boosting into it three times per cycle, and nail the QTEs to kill it in two cycles.
-
Thought it might be except for the hit it 3 times per cycle. Thanks for that :)
My strat for Egg Beetle:
Grab some rings and boost straight away. When you're right in front of the pincers home attack the boss then boost again. Hold back when you're in front of the pincers, time it carefully so you can boost towards the boss just as the pincers open. Keep boosting till Egg Beetle gets back up, then hold back when you're in front of the pincers and boost again just as the pincers open. Again keep boosting till the boss gets back up and you're in front of the pincers, hold back and home attack again. Boost again to the boss, then hold back and boost just as the pincers open. This strat used properly will guarantee you a time of around 47 secs. So yeah there's a lot of boosting, timing and holding back involved.
Remember this. My post from the hydro BS topic. Instead of one homing attack you just do two. This way you'll defeat Egg Beetle in 2 cycles instead of three. I can't believe the answer was that simple :P
Yeah this should give you 42 secs. Hope that helps you :)

Er, anyone trying to top my AS1 TA? Must be one of the more avoided levels. I topped my 2:20:66 recently, and improved by 82 milliseconds, granting me a time of 2:19:84. :p
btw, sup PoT ^^
-
I've tried it a few times and I can never get anything lower than the high 2:30s. :( I'm probably missing a shortcut or two somewhere.
-
I don't have much time for the next few weeks, but my next important target after Adabat1 (That's just my level) will be Arid Sands.
I just recently found another small cut which will probable get me a sub2:30.
Also gotta experiment on skipping the second wall run section, I did it once before.
nmu, Runidraga? =D
-
Not much myself, just the usual things.
sub 2:30? Ouch, sounds like your missing a major shortcut. Also, you know the part right after the two loop-da-loops with the sliding rock. You have to be quick in getting there before about 1:31-1:32, because then it pops back in and you wait to costing you precious time. Skipping the wall-running section....idk, i'll have to try that sometime.
Just a little tid-bit, to save about a sec. or a half of one(maybe more), when you go to use the shortcut(the one with the multiple boost pads that lets you skip a sharp curve with all the market stands), try to drift boost into it, then mash the RB button. You'll hit an extra boost pad, speeding you up, and hitting the earlier of the two other boost pads that direct you to the boxes with the QTE, saving some time. Confusing? Hope not, lol
-
Yeah, knew about all you said, it's not confusing XD.
I'll play AS as soon as I get my Adabat record back. Gonna figure that glitch out as well. Using the glitch and 2 of my new cuts, I may even be able to get a 4:20 (!!)
-
Yeah, knew about all you said, it's not confusing XD
Good :)
-
Muhahaha, I've topped PoT's DR2 and Paraxade's JJ3 times. >:D
-
I've topped PoT's DR2
You LITTLE!!!
-
I seem to have dropped several ranks in this game. Looks like I need to do some serious playing XD
-
SCREW U DARKSPINESONIC!
You took both my DR2 and JJ3 records I took! >:O
...too bad you wont top my AS1 time >:p
-
Btw a little tip to raise your levels up. I kept going to WI 1 many times. Destroyed many enemies (I found critcal attacking as many as possible will get you lots more EXP than normal attacks) and collected lots of rings. The rings I used to buy lots of chili dogs which give you 30 EXP. I think I fed Sonic about 600+ it worked. I leveled up my stats pretty quick.
[/quote]
Yes that is a very good way to raise up your levels. But anoyther way is to do with Wentos. Buy a pizza when its cheap and he will buy it odff you for a 100 rings. this makes you lots of money. Then find him again And his heroe sandwich's (50 exp) Are ranged from the price of 50 rings to 180. Buy loads of them, Also the BIg G Steaks hhelp too =]. Ive just been going through spagonia 50 million times and i seem to have 40k rings now for nothing. Might stock up on sandwichs and pwn the 99 EXP to maxc strength =]

Lol i dont know how to quote propaly sorry Xd
-
College starts Monday for me, looks like I won't be as active again. :(
Only competing I'll be doing is on the weekends, if that. Also Runidraga2, what makes you so sure I can't beat your AS1 time? :p
-
lol, yesterday I came to check just quickly how the ranking are going and I see that da1 finally took the top. Today I come on quickly and what do I see, I'm sharing the championship with da1 now..without doing something..lol
Meh, too bad I don't really have any time to play, and if I do, I invest it into some easy rings stats in SA2. It'll stay like that for another ~2 weeks :(
Not having the JJ1d record is bugging me though >_<
-
"Also Runidraga2, what makes you so sure I can't beat your AS1 time? :p"
Because u r record ninja, my time has anti-ninja spray on it :D
-
Sonicthewherehog: To quote somebody you just click on the quote button by their post
Runidraga2: Even if you put anti-ninja spray on it he'll still find a way to get it. It's only a matter of time untill he gets my JJ2N TA record :(
At least I got I my SC2N score record back from him :D
-
:O It won't work!?!?! hmmm...*sets up turrents, throw time into a steel box, double reinforces it, put's it in an anti-nuke shelter 1 million feet below the ground, and finally gases the the whole place with super anti-ninja spray*
Too much?
....nah
-
Hey PoT what happened to your SS ranking? It was #1 now its... gone?
-
http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=3977.0
-
......... Hm.
-
In the 2:05 range at SS1? I want to know what you're doing, PoT.
Private messaging doesn't seem to work for me.
-
Well, I don't know what you're doing, so I can't point you out the differences between our runs.. <_<
You have 2:06:66
I have 2:05:76
That's only a difference of 0.9 seconds. Route optimization, I'd say.
-
You should know what hes doing hes got a 2:08 vid
-
But he has 2:06 now. That's a drastic cut, actually.
Also, I'm not using any new shortcuts apart from the ones in the vid. I just let myself get hit during the chase part, and before the punch, I jump to fly further <_<
-
But air boosting is faster o.O
