Very impressive- but, how many of those shortcuts do you think were not intended by the developers?

the ones involving wall jumps and the rainbow rings had to be programmed intentionally, but that last one involving the lightspeed dash def looked like a happy accident either way, finishing that stage in under 2 minutes is hilarious

I think Sonic Team intentionally includes shortcuts in absurd places, dating all the way back to the original Adventure

I can't believe that you're making this game look this playable. The ideas and set pieces of the levels were good and these S rank runs make them actually look fun. You're making the pumpkin into a carriage, you madman of a magician! This LP is amazing, it's a glimpse of what could have been.

S-Rank Soleanna's Apple Festival

Discendo Vox posted:S-Rank Soleanna's Apple Festival That one is actually really easy because you can just die after getting enough apples to succeed, which resets your timer to 0 but still counts as a win, so you get an absurd time bonus.

There's a little-known glitch where you can use the apples to push Paganini into the nearby cliffside, which causes him to launch into the game's code. The same clumsiness that caused him to up-end the barrels and spill the apples everywhere will cause the game itself to up-end, spilling the entire universe. If the player waits approximately 3 hours as the broken pieces of reality swirl around, the mission will then reset and the game's physics will now allow for the kind of precision that will make placing apples in barrels possible without wobbling Silver around left and right to clump the apples in the vague shape required to drop them maybe somewhere in the general vicinity of the barrel's openings.

 If they would have removed the snowboarding segment before release, I would adore this level. The snowboarding is one of those few instances -outside of Town Missions- where it's seemingly impossible to make use of the mechanics to their full potential.

It feels almost insulting that you can skip what are supposed to be combat sections just that easily. But with that grind rail after the spotlight, I guess you're supposed to. Part of the problem with this game is that it's pretty bad about hinting to you how you actually can go fast.

The last section of the level is so open that you can legitimately wander around and get lost. I think the idea was to forge your own route and decide what was/wasn't important to your high score run. You could definitely fight more enemies and get an S-Rank that way, but I prefer my style.

I mean, you can literally go through the lasers to the right of where you start in that section, and go right to the end of the level in like twenty seconds.

it's kinda just a giant mostly empty circle that they dropped some objects into haphazardly. it's easy to get lost there because the game is really terrible at guiding you with visual elements and the camera is inherently disorienting. like, okay the game is playable at times, if you approach it in the right manner, but I'm not really seeing much "game design" here. the levels are very slapped together and nothing really flows together in a sensible way. the game is at its "best" when it's limiting your possible engagement with the mechanics as much as possible (because the mechanics suck) so that all you need to do is press A a few times Augus fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Feb 10, 2018 |

I feel the final section of White Acropolis better suits Shadow than it does Sonic.

Watching all the speedruns that I have, the way you avoid taking damage from the snowball is glitching out the speed of the snowboard so you're moving at like 2.5x speed and it can't keep up with you. Every other playthrough gets hit at least once and sometimes misses the final jump

So, you're playing this on the PS3 right? Cause, uhh...  Yes they figured out a way how to make Silver's Dusty Desert even worse.

The obvious answer is to be able to voice over the cut-scenes, to prove your mastery of the story that you can voice the characters. The more accurate your words and emotions are to the characters the better Rank you get.

Speed run the cutscenes. How fast can you press start, then down, then X to skip? It's actually a frame perfect trick.
