Edit: Updated file with levels 1-20 - http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/718847732/Polarium%20-%20WIP%202.dsm As you can see there's some room to play after the actual puzzle has been solved but this test run doesn't make much use of that yet. All constructive criticism appreciated.
Use Nearest neighbour method and that's it.
Well. This is what I have prepared so far. Collect all the rings of Emerald Hill with the help of Tails (though not used much). Mostly, I worry about collecting all the rings without taking any box of 10 rings. The battle against Robotnik is as simple as hitting 8 times in the traditional way. Here is for you see my progress
Sure but there's nothing really interesting in it. It's just a bunch of dialogue skips, walking around and FMVs. Just one fight against Lani who goes down in one hit.
WIP + savestate at the start of Disc 2 : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RJCCU92A Glad to be done with this part. I usually love to manipulate luck but those battles were a real pain in the ass...
Another WIP. Sniper Wolf 1 and the torture room are complete, and I saved at the equivalent end of Matt Powell's segment 8.
Last question, from now on, before starting Disc 2 how can I check that it will not have the same problem ? I'm not sure what checksum is, but how can I know it's a good one ?
