Guys. Seriously. It costed me 7 long years of my life in Maykop city and extending my vision to the Southern hemisphere just to make my dream a reality. I appreciate being a member of this community, but sometimes I have a feeling that I need to quit. Why? Because I fear to make another post. I never know what reaction I will meet.
I really wanted to tell you my memories of 2014 and see memories of the others. But just as soon as I made a post, the topic went into completely wrong direction.

Could you please just see the PM before starting to destroy the happiness I decided to share?..
Seriously, if you need personal explaination, I made it for you.

Ever saw super mega ultra hyper orbital jump?
Well, now you did.
Makes vertical underflow trivial to do, however, it leads to death.
Also I made a quick and dirty just for fun TAS of Pana der Hejhog. With the result of 1:20 I beat my previous attempt at doing it by 7 seconds, and it seems to be WR on that hack to the moment. I also managed to enter the wall at certain place, but couldn’t turn it into a zip, however, it could be possible I think.

It seems that points are awarded for not dying and for being further along horizontally when both players are offscreen. That would make a speed race in Oil Ocean interesting.
Oh, maybe, but anyway your new avatar is cute too :3

Remember how you guys reacted to nitsuja’s run, improving SprintGod’s one by about 10 minutes?
Now imagine this one shaves off almost the same amount of time from nitsuja’s one :)
I really wish SprintGod saw this :)

Cripes, who decided it'd be a bright idea to desaturate all the colors and replace every green with puke-brown? This is ugly.
Most hackers of S3&K modify the pallette and the music. I beleive this is simply because they are not skilled enough to reprogram the game itself, but striving to edit as much as they can.
Also, I’d like to say a few words on “Amy is not meant to be a gotta go fast character”, which was posted a couple of times here.
The reality is: this game by itself is meant to be played in “gotta go fast” style. First, the levels are so long that it usually takes a casual player hours to beat it, even with spindash. Second, in many places it’s impossible to pass without enough speed — a lot of really high slopes that you need to run up.
I really enjoy fast Amy. My signature on one forum says: “Sonic the EDGEhog has been obsoloted by Amy the 4G/LTE-hog” :)
If you want to see a slow Amy, just wait — I will finish another project with Amy quite soon. The progress is displayed in my signature. But, as I’ve said before, being slower does not cancel breaking the game and taking huge shortcuts, so… you may not enjoy that run, too…
I’ll consider working on glitchless and/or spindashless runs in the future, and I can promise my help to anyone who wants to do it himself.
You can also check out this for a slower Amy

Out of curiousity: is it possible to cause horizontal underflow in this mode?
Voting Yes, as it’s Sonic, but I’m not much familiar with this mode.
By the way, I think it’s possible to make Sonic and Tails behave symmetrical in Special Stages by recording 2 tracks where both players are controlled by one d-pad, but L/R of the second are swapped.

There was a thought that hacks that change the levels would be more entertaining, but Sonic 3 is a game that does not have such hacks.
In fact, such hacks also exist, however, most of them are not so well done as this one. I’d like to know if there is any
— interest among the audience in a TAS of such a hack
— chance for such a run to be accepted
If there is, I may consider one of such hacks as one of my future projects.
Just for your interest, here is a TAS of a hack of such kind, made by feeuzz. As you can see, even changed layouts don’t prevent finding huge shortcuts.

I only wonder about whether Aglar should be credited as a co-author, even though the overall percent of his input is small. Not exactly sure though, as speed-oriented input can be optimal in itself and not belong to anyone exclusively. Opinions?
He rejected it when I asked.

I really love the moments in the current published TAS, when the Sketch is using super power to save time, it looks like he’s saying “no time to fucking talk, come on!”
I mean the arena and the second boss fight :-D

Там просто 3 байта под фрейм отвели в gmv — недостаточно, чтобы все кнопки представить в таком режиме.
Тремя игроками одновременно классно играет мой друг feeuzz, он юзает мультитрековую запись для этого, но тут есть такая проблема (по крайней мере, при тасинге Соника), что изменения в движениях одного из персонажей способны добавить или удалить лаговые кадры, приводя к рассинхронизации (случается, увы, очень часто). marzojr, насколько я знаю, ухитряется записывать ввод для двух игроков одновременно. Конечно, было б круто делать это в редакторе, тут я соглашусь.
