For my eyes looks more faster if you take the lower path with the speed shoes first and backtrack because you lost 9 seconds in the platforms, you tried that? The rest of the levels looks amazing.
Wow, almost 70k rerecords in this level, that's was be a pretty tough challenge huh? I love all of it.
I was inactive this month too due for irl problemsand dealing with depression, but I'm fine now.
I hope you finish SPZ soon, I really want to finish this big boy.
As the end of the game draws slowly but surely near, is there anything either of you know of at this point that you'd like me to cover as a topic in the future submission text? Also is there a YT video or playlist of the full movie?
It all looks so smooth! LB2 looks fantastic and I'm happy you were able to avoid going into the bonus area and Tails' drowning death, funny as it was :)
Is the extra delay near the end of SO1 (just before you get the last big ring) in order to change the global timer for SO2 for the spiked pillar moving up and down at 0:57? I could not tell what you did differently in SO2 (except that you didn't spend as long in the walls around the 0:55 mark).
Yeah, I have no where near the knowledge to compare you two, but you've gotten pretty great pretty quickly mate. Controlling two player like that even under TAS conditions is baffling to me, yet you make it look like you just play co-op game solo all the time.
I believe you slightly miss understand. Sprintgods 1st (and the sites 1st) S3K 'glitchless' TAS was actually just an any% at the time. There were no glitches in it, not because he chose not to do so, but as none were know at the time. His next run that obsoleted it did have glitches in it, but it wasn't considered a separate category as the 'glitchless' category wasn't really a thing back then. They were both just considered any% runs. Remember, this was way back when he played at 6% play speed to be precise rather than frame advance.
Yes, you improved a lot this year, you are less lazy than me and you have a faster pace, I hate to redo levels (mostly in the ring attack), trying to synchronize and even open gens at times :-P - But I take my time to optimize my levels
I'm loving this ring attack. I am consistently surprised at the amount of time saved with each new iteration. Seeing you find improvements of 30 seconds in HC2 and IC2 is really surprising. I know it's a very tough balance between optimizing as much as possible, and knowing when to move on to the next level in order to ever make long-term progress, but it seems like just about every level is being tightened up quite a bit by this point. It's impressive!
Loving that glitchless! I always felt like SprintGod's first run should never have been obsoleted, cause the second one abused vertical screen wrapping, and then nitsuja came along and straight-up murdered the game.
I'm glad to announce that we fixed LBZ 1 music, only need to finish the level now.
About LBZ, you can fix the music if you want, we can divide the work and do 50% of the levels everyone too, if you are tired.
I remember doing a successful level-wrap in some other way, can’t tell you exactly. The problem is that level-wrap is absolutely useless for Knuckles in this level, because you’ll not be able to take proper Y position quickly enough. Don’t waste your time, you’ll not be able to beat the level sucessfully if you succeed at level-wrap. :)
Trust me, I was talking about this loop.
upd2: Problem solved. I was able to split Sonic and Tails into the upper and lower areas without screwing up loop solidity.
But don't kill Tails at the end because you will can't controll him in the next level and it will not respawn either
The route looks fine, but I need warn you with the begining, If Sonic got underwater directly to the giant ring you will be stuck in the next loops where the ice wall blocks Knuckles area because the loop above the giant ring changes the path switchers to change the solidity in the next loops. I had this problem in the early days doing ICZ2
I feel like a selfish asshole even going in to this... But whatever. Sonic 3 glitchless as Sonic+Tails has been my dream from this site ever since I discovered it through sprint gods TAS's back in the day. I understand that requesting such a thing is quite a feat But both you and Kann have done ring attacks! And seemingly mastered the 2play controls! That shits crazy! I just feel like you're the people that are the dream I hoped to make the video we all want to see... To be succinct, I feel like a single player sonic TAS glichless is essentially a TAS that will give blue balls. But Im not a complete idiot; Im sure 2 player tas'ing is a pain in the ass; I get it I wish you luck in what ever direction you go in.
Also here's some info that might be helpful for you in the future. You see that Tails respawn delay timer? You can cancel out of it at any time by pressing A, B or C. That's how I've been able to manipulate some of Tails' respawn positions in my recent tases.
I'm a little exhaust with 2 players.
There are some minor errors in the game wich can be confused with heavy glitches. In a glitchless run we need to ban the most heavy breaking game glitches as: Horizontal Underflow Zips Slope glitch / Switch gravity glitch / Carry glitch Screen warp Wheel glitch (CNZ) Don't abuse of the sky boundary error ( you can skip big portions of some level with this) Don't clip surfaces (Stair clips and glide clip as Knux) For me take advantage of frame rules, luck manipulation and little tricks to save time it's ok as long as they respect the rules above.
