Also I might be able to save some ingame time in Act 2 if we forgo the death transition skip.
Oops! Well, you can remove the death transition if you want =P
You can get rid of the lightning shield like I did in the testrun because the insta-shield is better for the start of Act 2.
I have a probably more basic question! What's happening at in game 5 seconds, where you're seemingly building up speed Sonic CD peel out style but with a much higher speed cap on the lazer bridge? I don't recall seeing it in any other runs, just this latest video and kaans wip of it.
Some questions!
- At 0:31 you send Tails up to get the rings above so you don't later have to go on that route, at the delay of waiting for him to respawn so you can get the 20 rings in the impossible wall. But later on, at 1:22, you take the lower route to get the 5x4 grid of rings at 1:26. What if you took the upper route instead with Tails, getting the 6 rings up top, and then sending Tails down below to get those 20 rings while Sonic got the 3, 5, and 3 ring boxes? Would that delay be shorter than the current delay at 0:31 waiting for Tails to respawn?
[*]At 1:20, the gravity thing pushes you up pretty high. If you jumped straight up first and fell more into its effect, would that counteract its upward push enough to let you hit the ground faster?
[*]At 1:46, the pinball section, I'm surprised this wasn't faster. It seems like Tails could hit the 4th switch sooner. What's he doing between 1:50 and 1:52, does he not interact with the bumpers off screen? What if you sent Tails below to collect that set of rings while Sonic activated the switches on the right side, could this speed things up? Or is collecting those rings without the electric shield much slower?
Post music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41Y3PKkkePk Hey, congratulations Evil_3D! You turned out to be a great TASer. This was your project, even if I submitted a few rough prototypes a long time ago. And you too, Kaan55, what an incredible ally to Evil_3D you turned out to be! I only regret not getting to know you two better, and maybe not helping out more but alas, I'm past my prime, and you two are better than I ever was. You know, after I published my Knuckles run 4 years ago, I thought that someday somebody might emerge who would do a Sonic & Tails run just like this. I couldn't have asked for a better couple of guys to do it. I honestly don't believe this run will ever be obsoleted - certainly not by a couple of new-comers, anyway! Please do comment on any one of my YT videos (so I get the notification) before you publish this. I'm watching the thread and progress as usual, but I'd just so hate to miss the opportunity to cast my vote and voice my appreciation. Perhaps more than anyone else on Earth, other than you two obviously, this TAS means so much to me. Thank you both so much for all your incredible effort all these months. Good luck once again going forward, what little bit there finally is left to go! I'll see you guys at the finish line! Congratulations!!! Oh, and Kaan... if by any chance you somehow find a way to collect even just 1 more ring in AIZ any time soon, please kindly keep it to yourself :p
I'm kinda hype about redoing MGZ and CNZ
Now my main concern comes with that ring monitor. It's pretty much impossible to get but it's still a part of the base game just like any other ring monitor, so I was wondering if it should be included in the ring attack submission text.This is a new MHZ2 boss strat, moving Tails to hit robotnik off-screens save some time in the auto scrolling section, and with some slot manipulation with dust particles you can let spawn the capsule buttom inside the boss fight, I don't have the tech details, but I think marzo can explaint the process better and get a more optimized fight
Crazy as hell… With this game you never know what will be discovered tomorrow.
