Hiya Folks / Hello Wello
« Last post by Terramax on July 11, 2023, 07:37:27 am »Yo!
Been a Sonic fan since I got the first title on the Master System, I guess sometime in 1991. Favourite Sonic game by a mile is Sonic CD, and getting to be able to play it on the Switch, despite Sonic Origin's drawbacks, has been an absolute blessing!
Will be using this site for its maps. Definitely don't have the skills and time to do speed running, but I like to do, I don't know how you'd call it, maybe 'breeze running', where you've memorised everything, but you're still semi-taking your time.

General Sonic / Re: Which eggman-made boss robot do you like the most?
« Last post by Terramax on July 11, 2023, 12:46:47 am »Not sure if it counts, but Robotnik's classic ship. It's iconic, and I love any boss which is merely an extension of it e.g. from Sonic 1 or Sonic CD.

Barley Wheat beer. I can assure you that it doesn't taste like piss! :D
Japanese beer is actually really sweet when compared to the European counterparts.
This one is slightly sweet, and the taste of the barley also comes through.
Always have this after a hard day of work, during dinner. Or, during a nightly gaming session.

General Sonic / Re: My Sonic the hedgehog/Sonic Team collection... ALMOST COMPLETE!
« Last post by Terramax on July 11, 2023, 12:02:56 am »Impressive collection to say the least. I really like that you have the older games from the Master System era, as Sonic 1 MS is how it all began for me (I'm guessing 1991), and really wish I had kept all of my Sega MS and GG stuff.
Not sure if I could have a collection like that though. Firstly, I think the wife would have a problem with me spending the money, second, no space in our small apartment and three, being a minimalist and someone used to having no choice but to sell stuff often in the past, I would be too tempted to sell off stuff if I saw that the value went way higher than what I paid for it.
I was thinking about doing my own Sonic Team collecting many years back. Right from Sonic 1, right up until Billy Hatcher. It was after that game that I think the development studio fell from grace - where their creativity started to falter. But, the reasons above prevented me from doing that collecting, long term. Also, not sure I'd buy multiple versions of the same game, as they wouldn't get used.
Right now, I'm looking to just collect my favourite Sonic titles, in their best versions, along with the odd Sonic trinket that I find on Amazon. I have a few keychains, a rail card holder, and thinking to get a plushie for my son, or a figurine of Sonic to put on my desk. But most of the figurines are based off of his newer designs, or are of bad quality, when I'd really like one that was reminiscent of Sonic 1 or Sonic CD.
One question I do have is; do you have any fond memories related to any of the memorabilia that you hold? Back in the UK, I still have my original Sonic and tails cuddly toys somewhere. I've had them since around 1994, I think, and a lot of memories taking them with me places, etc.

There is recent history on this forum of you going after runners who have a faster time of you, accusing them of cheating so maybe, just maybe, you can weasel your way into getting world record on something. There is no coincidence you specifically went after the three runners who were above you in the standings. There is another thread of you doing the exact same thing to RingRush.
Your accusations were completely baseless for every single person and cherry-picked so that you could get ahead. You even completely failed to realize that SADX had a PC release, in fact multiple PC releases. Perhaps you should learn a little bit more about the game before accusing people of cheating for no reason. As in, something as basic as knowing the existing versions of the game.
The only reason more came out about how these times were done is because people decided to be nice, but I'm tired of trying. Consider yourself lucky that you actually found out anything.
You don't even have video proof of your own time, in an age where cell phones are plentiful and can record video and any toaster of a PC made in the last 15 years can run SADX and record. So I have no idea whether you even got your time or not, and for your standards that's enough to constitute cheating.
Furthermore, you recently created an account to dodge a ban on your OPs account, asking for the regular account to be unbanned. This is generally against this site's rules. I am pointing this out because you are clearly privy to breaking rules yourself.
If you actually want a world record, get a better time and stop doing this bullshit.

Leaderboard Disputes / Re: ATTN: Sonicspeedruner, Nicur, and R3FR4G
« Last post by sonicandamy on January 25, 2023, 12:07:31 am »Thank you for all of your contributions guys, think it's safe to say no one is cheating here and we can move on. sonicandamy, please don't call BS on people unless you actually have reasonable suspicion and evidence of foul play lol.
R3FR4G, I don't think there's any need to pedantically remove your stats from the charts that were obtained with only graphic/cosmetic game mods, as there is no evidence that said mods actually affect gameplay mechanics.
are you kidding me? R3FR4G admitted to mods and also admitted to not knowing the submission rules (it only takes one of them) and ((by the rules is not allowed)), we all agreed long ago that graphics/cosmetics can alter time because of how soniccenter tracks times it in fact can be possible to alter in game even with a simple cosmetic mod ... even by milliseconds which in a sonic game is HUGE.
dont get me wrong im not trying to demonize anyone, I want R3FR4G to TRULEY GET THE TIME he submited to TSC, do the run AGAIN world record this time with no mods. lets see it.
for the record I believe I could easily get a 57:95 with the same mods though.
Edit: I believe Speedrunners "run" appeal, as my first IL's ever where filmed this way, but with a nokia phone instead of an ipad1

« Last post by SpanielWare on December 25, 2022, 04:46:14 pm »I see; I suppose for comprehensiveness' sake we should still add charts for Ultimate, though will it even garner much speedrunning attention if it differs so little gameplay-wise from the original game?

« Last post by R3FR4G on November 22, 2022, 11:31:21 am »Hello gamers, i did not know this thread was a thing but here's what i have to say about my runs.
The blinking health bar is a result of pressing A X B Y at the same time, quite a funky bug and i literally just do it to the rythm of the music cuz it's funny.
As for résolution / aspect ratio, yep, it is not really standard although, this is just using the mod manager's graphics tab options, im gonna be honest i have absolutely no idea what the rules on tsc are for submitting nor do i care, if yall think this shouldn't be on tsc, so be it.
Anyway, there is 1 full amy story run that i have cheated on in the past and i have come clear about it multiple times previously, probably somewhere in the sonic adventure speedrunning discord / ssc discord / maybe somewhere else i can't remember.
Okay now as for niczur and sonicspeedrunner, i think i can very safely say that there is no cheating going on at all, they have been very respected runners spending hundred of hours in the game. Niczur is not playing on emu but rather 2004 PC with the mod manager and following mostly the speedrun.com rules and come on, sonicspeedrunners runs go pretty far back, he didn't have the best recording equipment sure but faking these runs would have been way too big of a task to even be a possibility
