Not much compared to D1aos recorded run, but I managed to get through the demo in 51.09 seconds.

It's so damn fun. Makes me excited for the full game.

50.06 seconds now. :p

48.22 now.
The precision involved in this damn demo is stupid. :(

Blargh, 48.04 is the furthest I can go.
I can't do that bottom path like in the video. :(

The demo is a bit glitchy tbh, and not the normal Sonic glitchy. Random shiz happens quite often. I might go for sub 42 next weekend.

Oh no, I've had plenty of experiences with the demo already.
That cinematic part when you're running a circle around the mountain, right at the curve, I guess one time I was going too fast, and I popped right up into the air and hung there for a few seconds before gravity pulled me right back down. The cinematic ran the rest of the way through after that.

On the final stretch, on the bottom section of the map where the springs are placed in those little pockets, I hit the spring to head left, and as long as I had just finished an incomplete spin dash (or something like that), if I hit the left spring to launch me over the edge, I wouldn't pop up. Instead, I'd be completely in full run.

Think the Sonic Colors Spikes mechanic, but going from a spin directly into a run without any input besides the direction.

I also fell through the level at the beginning after hitting the second buzz bomber. Profound sadness.

Sonic Retro cracked down on the demo so hard that they managed to hack the elemental shields on Classic Sonic, and hack Classic Sonic onto the Modern Sonic stage. The data for Modern Sonic and the Modern GHZ stage is in the demo, it just hasn't been unlocked. Everyone's assuming the stage will be allowed for download as soon as the Classic GHZ demo's days are up.

That's what I assumed as well.
That the modern version would be available after classic was done.

Apparently Retro hacked even further and found that Classic and Modern Rooftop Run are next on the list for the demo.



So prepare for that, I suppose. I'm anxious to hear an improved Rooftop Run mix.

Wow, Spagonia. Not really my favorite, but...

Why oh why, I'm still playing Sonic Unleashed! WHY SPAGONIA?!

Anyways, did you guys get sub 42 yet?

Soooo yeah... my Genesis times are obviously bulls hit (pause + B = chaos control). My Sonic Advance 2 times are legit though.

I guess I'll try to work on select Sonic 3 & Knuckles under 4 minute runs, specifically Carnival Night Act 2 and Flying Battery Act 2... those two are rather tough (without glitches, anyway).

Edit: lol @ the N word destroying the Emerald Hill link...

Edit 2: Actually, Carnival Night Act 2 in under 4 minutes isn't that difficult...

So I'm a try and get it in under 3.

Can I censor dodge this one time to make it clear?

Ni.gga.

At least the non-derogative anyway. Would be a bit shameful if it were teh other variant.

play Sonic 2 or Sonic 3&K.
activate level select.
when the level begins, pause.
Hold B forever while playing the level.
Pay attention to the timer.

And now, you can finish any level you want in 0 seconds flat.

I'm most likely to speedrun Sonic '06.

Excpect unheard-of times soon.

(sorry if it's a horrible game, but Secret rings is impossible to speedrun .-.)

Sonic 06 was a cool game though I just didn't like the fact that the loading screens were soooo long... lol. And they appeared everywhere! lol

True.

I'll upload a speedrun I did of Sonic Adventure DX later.

Chaos 6 in around 5-6 seconds, not including post death time. -_-
And with Big, about 2 seconds.
I'll upload pics (or maybe vids) of it later.

Just watched that Gameland Speed run Da1aos posted and I didn't know you could switch between the two Sonic's... Guess it would explain why the red ball followed you around. lol
