Competition Central / Re: Sonic Drift in PAL = no?
« on: November 30, 2011, 09:03:35 am »
The rules are saying that you can't consciously switch a ROM of the game over to PAL settings in an emulator, as it changes the speed of the in-game timer. To the best of my knowledge, official releases are allowed in all cases except Sonic Genesis (which changes the physics of the game), Sonic Jam (which has conditions on it), Sonic & Knuckles Collection (also conditioned), and Sonic CD's 2011 release (which we'll add rules for when it releases outside of GameStop's tablets).

It is a case of replicating what is possible on console. Games that only came out through NTSC/60Hz cannot use a PAL/50Hz setting on an emulator, and vice versa (although the vice versa would be stupid for speedrunning >_>) simply because it isn't possible through actual carts/consoles.

The best way to know if it's illegal, is to time yourself in real time, and compare it with the ingame timer. Do it on a long level (Scrap Brain - Red) for best results. If you get a difference of more than a second, then you shouldn't submit.

Also i've heard no discussion on CD'11 yet. Why won't it be allowed? The engine is exactly the same isn't it?

Ehhh...Megamix has some pretty terrible level design. The pacing in "Green Hill" is all over the place, and "Marble Garden" is a convoluted mess. Those two levels pretty much sum up the design flaws: inconsistent pacing and random nonsensical design.

Marble Garden? You realise it's a Sonic 1 hack right?

That sounds about right. v4 isn't coming out as a full release for ages.

^It does in fact. And i'm going to quote you on something you said which actually raises a pretty strong point:

Quote from: Umbreon
why can't we just label it in a way that makes more sense to people coming in from the leaderboards?

So basically, you'd just be removing the doppleganger missions, and don't say having missing mission numbers would make the charts look messy. Because we've done it before.

Scores, unless I'm mistaken, are just a duplicate of times and aren't needed?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Score is basically Time Bonus + Ring Bonus. There is no score increase for enemy kills or anything like that.

Yes, but with that, it becomes "Grab as many rings before time
  • for highest score!" And that's mostly how score charts work, unless they're broken levels.
I can't see any reason why rings can't be tracked for challenges. In games like Unleashed the game doesn't save your rings either but we still track those. All you have to do is just check your ring amount before you hit the signpost. As for bosses I believe there are only two that aren't infinite which are Death Egg Robot and Perfect Chaos.

What I want to know is will we be tracking just the normal mode bosses or will we include hard mode bosses as well?

I'm just going to throw this on a post, even though i've said this in the chat. The way they should work is 'default' settings. By default it's what the game throws you into before you change the difficulty settings. Having charts for both normal and hard is feasible, but you'd have to make sure that the levels are different enough in strategy rather than longer because of X amount of hits. Otherwise you're just doubling up a chart, one longer than the other.

No but it seems really dumb to do that just for another 10 rings and I discussed it with SonicAD on IRC and I'm pretty sure he agreed with me >_>

Sonic Triple Trouble. Sonic 1 GG. You've dealt with it before, deal with it again.

I say, have seperate charts for skills, allow SS, disalow the 10 rings skill for ring runs, because, its like, If you allow it, then everyone will do it, making it a mandatory item for ring runs, so its just an extra thing you have to do before each ring run, and, one less item you can use.

Well then, i sure hope you don't complain about having to collect rings in a ring attack(!)
Seriously though, it has precedent on this site before, and as previous posters have said, just Start>Restart. That seems like a fairly simple thing to do, rather than dying 3 times (S1GG) or having to finish a previous level with X amount of ring (STT).

As for the Ring Time Skill, it sounds like a way to stop the charts having everyone maxing the levels. However, judging by all your reactions to it, it also sounds like it would discourage competition. I'll leave this one to admins.

Now for the Skills v No Skills charts:

IT'S CALLED FREESTYLE FOR A REASON

Seriously, have the initial time/score charts for no skills, and the freestyle chart of any combination of the skills. People shouldn't have to play time attack the same level with the same character in two different ways unless they want to. Also RPG, any discussion point raising S06 is retarded, because those charts are absolutely terrible as it is.


I agree with flying fox on this one. It's definitely pretty stupid to just get another 10 rings added to your total. If you think about it, it's somewhat like the SADX rule, starting a level w/rings(carried over from Adventure Mode) isn't allowed in RA in the charts, so I think it ought to be applied here, and, as I said before, it is kind of pointless to easily start with 10 rings, especially if it must be unlocked to use it. That is a little... averting, in my opinion. It would piss me off, too, if I just started the game AND want to compete in it.

You can't with S06, Sonic Unleashed AND Sonic Colours (just to name a few). In fact, you pretty much have to play the game a bit before you can properly compete, which actually makes sense. Ring Attacks aren't actually something someone can do on their first playthrough either. If they do, they'll either miss certain tricks, or miss certain areas.

Cruizer, I do apoligize for my idiotic posts. Also, I never wanted ptorflaxendrosis unbanned, I just don't like people getting ignored, and that's how I was seeing it.
SpiDashMaster, ptorflaxendrosis was banned. He should be treated like the others. Let him prove his way out, not dig up his stats and decide again. He still was given sufficient time to prove his stats.
Anyways, anyone who has read my posts, be aware that I am an idiot, and jump into things before thinking clearly -_-'

It's fine, Just be more cautious when posting in the future, I don't really like seeing people being 'idiots' (quoting because they're your words, not mine :P) on the forums. And as SDM said, he's lucky since he didn't get a proper LD topic. Now that that's done, i shal refrain from posting since this is now somewhat of a proper LD topic.

Most likely, the topic, not him, was ignored. Such a title for a post would make us jump to a conclusion that a banned member is begging to be able to submit again. We've had many of those topics in the past, and none of them have ever been unbanned. Most likely people have just ignored this because of aforementioned topics. Even i didnt look at this thread because of that reason. I only posted here because you, Gamepro, seem to be trying to do things to get what you want, even if it's to get a friend unbanned. You've even tried to make a glitch legit by completely bypassing a discussion about the glitch.

We are all different from banned members. When I said 'lesser members' in my previous post, I was referring to the unbanned people who are not the regular faces of TSC. People like SonicandInuyasha for example. Banned members are not the same, they have been proven to be illegitimate, and cannot be trusted.

I have my own life, too, ya know. And I know you guys have been reading this topic a lot, yet no one said anything to him. That isn't entirely plausible in any way. I also don't care if he gets unbanned or not, my point is that one rule is followed while the other isn't. That also isn't plausible, I believe. If you have time to ban him, you have time to delete posts. If 90+ people have time to read this topic, they have time to say "You will not be unbanned" in a post or PM. I hate that us lesser members are over-shadowed by the larger members, like DsS, and nothing is ever done unless those members post, even if the post may change something(hint, hint). It doesn't surprise me, but it shows that no one cares about us at all, and that isn't right.
[Edit: itsPersonnal, it's no use. That won't get someone unbanned. They did give him sufficient time to prove his stats]

Yeah okay, notice how many guests are online. Usually the thing that gives views are guests. This topic has a lot of views, however it's so low on content, that probably only 10 regular members have seen it. Also don't use that 'larger member' bullcrap on me. DsS, and all the top competitors all adhere to the rules. 'Lesser Members' are given as much right as everyone else.

Also just so you know for future reference, deleted posts are put into the Sonic '06 Appreciation Land forum (previously known as the Archives). No thread/post is removed in its entirety.

>no-one posts
>thinks we're ignoring
>doesn't realise we have our own lives outside of TSC

Before trying to bring your own agenda onto the site, how about properly waiting for someone to comment here? Usually it takes a week for someone to post, if at all.

Now because i'm not an admin, any comments i make on this subject are likely to be overlooked/ignored. However, by the sounds of it, he actually did bs his stats and was instantly banned due to them being bs. Now because of this, he hasn't made a concious effort to prove stats over the time he has been banned, he hasn't used another site (that we have been shown) as an outlet for said proof , and furthermore, as far as we're concerned, he hasn't even done anything extraordinary. Just two posts asking to be unbanned. That's enough to keep you banned for a long time, because people who try and get unbanned by asking are annoying and end up being untrustworthy due to the fact of admitting to bsing. So either prove that we can trust you, or leave.
