[darkNES386]

Looking good, put a (post number 282*) comment under InterimOfZeal's thread. That's where we're updating/working on modifying the thread. Later when we're done/whenever Izzy wants to he can update the first post.

 

[EmuKiller]

Thanks for making this. I'm really glad the sonic community is this strong.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Yeah. But some others are LOADED with weird things. A Lucario user apparently can check frames and has this Uber-list. We seem kind of disorganized. Sonic needs more tricks. I especially want to examine Nairs and Fairs properties. Need an Action Replay or something.

I'll look at this thread you speak of...

... http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=140235 this one?

That's it.

 

[darkNES386]

oh ok, that's good stuff... um.... you have to be careful how you go about that, because recording devices may miss frames right?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I have no way to get frame data. Izzy's been wanting to get stuff too I believe but it's not something I want to do without an action replay. I REALLY want to examine Hitboxes.

 

[darkNES386]

Well... I'll try this:

I'll record on special brawl : slow speed, sonic doing some attacks and movements and see how it looks. Sound good?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

What will that help with?

 

[darkNES386]

Counting frames? No?

I guess I gotta look into the fps for Brawl

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Pfft. Like anyone here knows how to do that.

 

[darkNES386]

Brawl is 60 frames per second, if I can record at a quarter of the speed and multiply by 4... oh crap this blows, I'll pm the lucario thread dude.

 

[Umby]

I'll make some inquiries as well. I know some guy who was trying to compete with M2k in obtaining frame data or something. Either of them had some different kind of way of doing it. I can't recall the actual situation.

 

[darkNES386]

Alright, after hearing back from the lucas frame guide user, Magus420 is the most knowledgeable on this. I'm kinda afraid now to give it a shot without getting flammed by someone who actually knows what they are doing. Basically... the problem with recording on slower speeds in Brawl is that they added frames to make the animation look smoother.... so yeah... the most reliable way is with capture card(possibly usb device, need to get that confirmed) and thes programs that help you mess with the video so that it's correct for counting: VirtualDub. AviSynth

 

[memphischains]

everyone should post their tournement results so we can get that poppn off too

 

[AbsoluteZero0K]

Many thanks.

 

[Tenki]

change the title to something more obvious for a "useful threads" link

@.@ srsly there were like 3-5 threads recently of people either looking for tips to play Sonic or with information that was kinda... common knowledge.

[edit]
OHH OR YOU CAN ADD
"**NEW SONICS CHECK THIS FIRST**" in the title lol

 

[Umby]

I'll do something.

 

[LuCKy]

intermin sucks balls,and sonic is blue .......blue is ****

lawlme2lawlrape



Is there a device out yet to help us with frame capture? I heard something about a new AR.

 

[fujbubccc]

We should absolutely have a spring thread.

 

[LUVTOY77-ROGUE WIREFRAME]

this is exactly what Ineeded!

 

[IceDX]

Hey Guys i notice this a wile back but i just want to put it out there ....... why dont we have Sonic combos Listed like other character fourums do??? someone should make a vid tutorial of sonic combos (attack strigs) like the one that was recently made For MK i would do it myself but i cant record for now.....

 

[UzakiuzuG]

Nice job Teh Umby

 

[IceDX]

NIce Thread...BTW.........

 

[LuCKy]

i was the first person to kill someone with sonics up b....i did it at e for all

 

[Umby]

You still suck though, LuCKy.

 

[da K.I.D.]

i love what you did with the thread its like 10 X more appealing now

 

[Tenki]

It's pretty, but the dumber newbies aren't gonna think "hey, i should check this out before i make a stupid thread about how i can't kill" etc.

It's more like
"Thread index zone.

wut is .. thread... index? big word.

???

'hey guys i found a new technique with Sonic! when u charge downb u press jump or attack and u do a spindash except u go up!!!'

"

idiot-friendly title please ;d

 

[Umby]

It's a placeholder until I think of something better. I felt that if I put something like "Thread Index Zone - Sonic Resource Center" I'd be copying ZSS boards.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Just lie and say we did it first. When they point out the date just say that the boards were too slow and didn't realize it was posted.

 

[da K.I.D.]

im down for that...

 

[Tenki]

I know it's in the video thread, but I think you should add Sonic Orochi's video guide to this thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QMRTsGfy0c

If I was a newbie Sonic player looking for a guide, searching the video thread for a guide wouldn't exactly be on the top of my list.

 

[Tenki]

Who came up with the steak thing, and how?

read the stickies

but before you do that someone add it to the stickies

^--- Someone add it to the stickies.

 

[JMan8891]

[Umby]

Oh, god. Fuck this lame steak meme.

 

[Boxob]

Oh, god. Fuck this lame steak meme.

Fuck you.

The steak is a lie. delicious.
