Competition Central / Longest Lasting Records That Have Been Broken
« on: February 19, 2019, 09:19:19 pm »
A few months ago, I posted the Top 25 longest standing untied records. While I mentioned that looking for the longest standing untied records ever as a possible future task, I felt like uncovering a fresh set of stats; a list that would have the names of players from back in the day along with newer competitors. With that in mind, the longest lasting records that have been broken contains records that had stood the test of time, but were ultimately shown to not be maxed. Including the records that still stand today would likely have filled the chart with easily maxed ring stats. As an nice indication of activity, 16 of the top 25 streaks were broken this year which includes what was the second longest standing current untied record on the site, recently broken by Sm4sh.

Competition Central / Longest Standing Untied Records
« on: October 31, 2018, 11:08:10 pm »
The question that no one asked but is getting answered anyway: What are the longest standing untied records on The Sonic Center?

I was inspired to research this by the Goldeneye and Perfect Dark community over at https://www.the-elite.net/. There, they have two tables, one showing the top 10 longest lasting untied records ever and another showing the current untied records along with the option to show those tables as they were on an earlier date. While TSC does not have this feature, the data is available to find this manually. There was just this tiny difference where TSC has just a few more games to cover, 55 more or less, with many of them having a significant number of charts. Additionally, several games track time to a value more precise than a second and have competetive ring or score charts, making untied records common throughout the site. With that said, finding the longest lasting untied records ever is a lot of work and will have to wait for a later day, but I did compile a list of all 4453 current untied records on this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e7qDY73t_0AVgF6J06apnISeh6d2diKSXM7Zu6zOZSU/edit?usp=sharing.

For convenience, here are the Top 25 current untied records:

Edit: Added Sonic The Hedgehog to the spreadsheet as that game was missing entirely, as it was on 2018 October 31. Total current untied records corrected from 4139 to 4453.

Competition Central / Sonic Mania Competition Rules
« on: December 29, 2017, 04:37:50 pm »
Sonic Mania charts have been up for a few months without any game specific rules so I am starting this thread to address this.
Some things that come to mind are:
  • Should super forms be allowed?
  • Should entering bonus stages or special stages be allowed?
  • Points from a falling signpost should be limited to 100 points
This game has a lot of similarities with Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic & Knuckles and super forms were prohibited on those charts. Currently with super forms allowed, Studiopolis 2 has a lotto that can be abused to get an unlimited amount of rings (well, up to 999 rings), and makes the stat a bit trivial to achieve. Other charts, such as Casino Night 1 & 2 in Sonic 2 had been removed and these charts look like they could suffer the same fate with the current ring attack stats. Unless there is a way to loop back to the lottos, without super forms, they can only be entered once and the chart would have no reason to be removed. Alternatively, the lotto could be prohibited, similar to the slots in Sonic 2 2013 being prohibited (maybe this could be applied to Sonic 2 Casino Night levels).
I am not familiar with how bonus stages or special stages could affect competition but figured they should be considered along with any input anyone else has on the subject.

Beef / Leftover Stats
« on: January 22, 2017, 12:03:26 pm »
When looking at the banned players on the Sitewide Rankings, it was unclear what determines whether their stats remain or are removed. In one instance, the Sonic 2 Rings chart has a record held by a banned player that exceeds the number of rings in the stage. The record is over 7 months old. I do not know if this problem exists on other charts but it would be better if such stats were removed as it makes it awkward to refer someone to the site for existing real time records and hurts the credibility of the site.
Also, I would like my award back please.
