  1. Sonic 2 2013 FAQ
  2.  
  3. Q: What does 2013 mean?
  4. A: It refers to the year this remake was released, to distinguish from the original version.
  5.  
  6. Q: What is different about this version?
  7. A: A fair bit. The engine is slightly different, so mechanically there are slight difference everywhere. For the less keen observer; all the zips are such from the original no longer work, Tails can now carry you as he flies, speedcap can be turned off, and elemental shields from S3K can be added into the game.
  8.  
  9. Q: What are you playing on?
  10. A: I'm playing on decompilation that allows you to play the game natively on PC.
  11. You can find it here: https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-1-2-2013-Decompilation/releases/tag/v1.1.2.1
  12.  
  13. Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time?
  14. A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM | Time Bonus causes going slower to be faster for RTA, which is hyper dumb
  15.  
  16. Q: What is the timer you are using?
  17. A: It is the In-Game timer function of Livesplit. I enter all the times manually at the end of each level, and it produces the splits.
  18.  
  19. Q: What is the World Record?
  20. A: https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_2_2013 | See: Splits
  21.  
  22. Q: What's your goal time?
  23. A: I think a 16:3X would be good for now, but any improvement is nice.
  24.  
  25. Q: Are there glitches in this run?
  26. A: No useful glitches, but there are a couple of boss skips in Hilltop and Oil Ocean (where you simply just fly over the top of them)
  27.  
  28. Q: What is with those split icons? What does A and B mean?
  29. A: This is a grading system for all of my splits. I'm sure you are familiar with grades, A+ being the best then going down from there. So the idea is, if the split has an A+ next to it, my time there was really good and would be very difficult to beat. If it's a C though for example, it was quite poor, and I should be able to save time there pretty easily.
  30.  
  31. This way, everyone watching has more accurate information on where I can save time, and where I should be making up time. Also that all time loss is not equal, as losing time vs an A+ split isn't really that bad, whereas losing time vs a C split is really bad. It'll probably take a while for a lot of people watching to pick up the meaning so I will appreciate everyone who explains how this works (correctly) in chat to new people.
