My friend is BSing.
« on: September 12, 2008, 02:39:24 pm »
A friend of mine, Crazy1993 recently submitted a 1:17 in Sonic's Speed Highway. This wouldn't normally be cause for speculation, except for these things:
1. He isn't the best SA speedrunner.
2. He claims to have done his run on a PC using a keyboard.
3. He also says he did not use any shortcuts.
4. He didn't have any version of the game at the time he supposedly got the stat.
5. I know him well, and he is clearly making this up.
He later tried to revoke his claim by saying he "misread" it, that he actually got 2:17, but the other problems persist.
Remember, it's not really possible to sub 2:30 (or with his skill, 3:00 or 4:00) without shortcuts.

While the rest are good points, 2 is faulty.  I use a keyboard.  And while I'm not as good as even that, I AM better on the keyboard than with a controller.

Yes but it's for a 3D game.

This was referencing SA/SADX, as I've played both versions.  I really am much better at the PC version.

2:17 is believable without shortcuts. Even I can do 2:17!...oh...yeah...there are a couple of (developer-intended) shortcuts that I use to get that. Please ignore me.

Woahwaitbackup.  Isn't A on Speed Highway 2:30?  Yeah, 2:17 I believe.  It depends on the definition of a "shortcut".  I wouldn't necessarily call certain parts of the At Dawn segment shortcuts; neither would I the light dash platform before the heli.

The cave on the curved wall in EC2 could be the only developer-intended shortcut for all we know.

He can't even tell me the route that he used. Trust me, he's not of a skill level sufficient to get even 3:00 with only a few shortcuts (even though he didn't use any anyway).
