| 2 | ||
| 3 | Q: What is New Game+? | |
| 4 | A: It means starting from a save file with all the Chaos Emeralds already obtained. So can use Super Sonic from the get go. | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | Q: What stages do you use Super Sonic in this run? | |
| 7 | A: Super is used in 10 stages. Those are: CP1, CN2, HT2, MC1, MC2, OO1, Met1, Met2, Met3, and WF. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Q: What does 2013 mean? | |
| 10 | A: It refers to the year this remake was released, to distinguish from the original version. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | Q: What is different about this version? | |
| 13 | 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. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Q: What are you playing on? | |
| 16 | A: I'm playing on decompilation that allows you to play the game natively on PC. | |
| 17 | You can find it here: https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-1-2-2013-Decompilation/releases/tag/v1.1.2.1 | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time? | |
| 20 | - | A: https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_2_2013 | See: Splits |
| 20 | + | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | Q: What is the timer you are using? | |
| 23 | - | A: I think a 16:3X would be good for now, but any improvement is nice. |
| 23 | + | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Q: What is the World Record? | |
| 26 | A: No one else runs this category so: See; Splits. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | Q: What's your goal time? | |
| 29 | A: A sub 16 would be *really* good, I'd probably be happy with a low 16. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Q: Are there glitches in this run? | |
| 32 | 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) | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | Q: What is with those split icons? What does A and B mean? | |
| 35 | 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. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | 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. |
