1) You'd have to get Sonic's signpost monitors first because terrain completely blocks off that area in Act 2. Ideally you'd want to bring Knuckles' bosses up there in Act 1 but I couldn't find a way to get them out of their boss boundaries.
2) The signpost monitor objects gets deloaded in Act 2 if you get too far away from them. The reason this doesn't happen in ICZ is because those objects are a part of the Act 2 map.
Also here's a fun fact about the signpost monitors in ICZ. It's theoretically possible to collect them indefinitely by continuously reloading them and then dropping the signpost on them over and over. But of course we won't be doing that in a run like this.
You guys want to be co-authors? Maybe the movie has no input from you (for now), but its contribution is considerable (I would be happy), and maybe work in a improvement of the KTE ring-attack in a future, I have done AIZ only because I concentrate with S + T TAS now
more discoverys Kaan55 managed how to collect all signpost ring monitors in ICZ1
I did see how really broken the game is, but it's fun at the same time :P
LRZ2 (Knuckles rings - I have some ideas with the route including a bonus stage-bubble shield, but first I have to do some tests and then develop the route), Edit: planned route for CNZ 1 = http://www.mediafire.com/view/8vohjiu32c5l9ni/CNZ1-ST-route.png#
Edit: forgot what I said before about MGZ2 gmv, It was a problem with sound settings causing desyncs, but I see that the invisible wall in the sky blocks you when activating the earthquake event, I think Kaan55's method is better, I suppose.
3 wall rings hidden just beneath the first spinning gravity orb near the start of the level, simply return to this spot with a lightning shield to collect upcarry into lowered stairs above "hidden" area with 2 monitors + invin then precision jump to fall just right so that you can get close to each monitor and spindash to destroy them while still embedded in the wall, then eject
ICZ2: bypass ST-boss in ICZ1, trigger slope glitch soon after, zip to inner-wallfloor above KTE's 3 rings, collect with T, zip straight back to beginning of KTE's ICZ2, play as normal until starpost, grab giant ring and enter (or vice versa if that proves problematic), go right/up for rings/shield then backtrack down/up out of cave and proceed to ST-boss for ICZ1. *it seems that if you bypass ST-boss and then zip back past where it spawns, below it, to get the 3 rings and then attempt to later engage ST-boss without first resetting the boundary the screen will lock just short of where their boss appears and you will be stuck there until timeout to get the 3 in the wall as well as the cache of rings at the very top of the level right by the end: have slope glitch, find a nearby loopset that has 2 of them stacked vertically, manipulate the pathswapper inside the upper loop to block off its own entryway and open a path through the floor leading to the lower loop, jump down it and roll up the righthand side, maybe jumping, to get carried into the wall to the point where you collide with the red solidity layer which should propell you upward in the direction of the rings, then just press left or right to control your speed/upward momentum accordingly; should be able to run straight into the 3 rings and still have enough space to go straight up to the top of the screen before the wall ends, allowing to get the rest. SOZ1: confirmed possible in debug mode testing, and i see no reason why it shouldn't work out in real play too. the method is to trigger the slope glitch for T, by getting him on an upward sandslide and then walking off screen with S. the closest ones to the 3 rings are on the bottom most path, there are 2 of them together (one might move down but whatever). then you have to make your way from there to the 3 rings via the normal path that would be required in a route anyway, so that's a bonus, but the trick is to keep T on screen with you the whole time and don't let him touch any sprites obviously. at the spring rope have S get the monitor and have T fly into the upper curve, hold the jump button, and it should push him into the wall and stop him just above the red solidity in the chamber to the right, allowing him to jump still (T is so short compared to S and K that he can't jump out of the normal red solidity areas) and then fly to get pushed up and into the next chamber, allowing him to zip to get the rings.
I finished AIZ in my S+T ring attack and improved 1 second ACT 1.
