+      Sonic CD FAQ
 
 Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
 A: Yeah. I play much better on a keyboard, so emulator is the go for me. Luckily because game time is used for this game emulator makes no difference.
 
 Q: Why are you showing the whole emulator?
-A: As per the new rules for this game, this is required for emulator runs, to prevent cheating (and is also why my time for Sonic aren't on speedrun.com) They read: "For runs using emulators the entire screen of the emulator used must be captured and the game must be visibly hard resetted before a run. Any use of a savestate after boot voids the run." [Note that this does not apply to every video game, it's a rule in place specifically for the classic sonic series eg S1, S2, S3K, SCD]

 Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time?
 A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM
 
 Q: What is the timer you are using?
 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.
 
 Q: What is the World Record?
-A: Technically the WR is 15:18, but I have a 15:08 (done on an emulator that is now banned) I'm not really concerned with beating that, I just want to get some good practice in before I run this game for AVCon.

-Q: What are the main differences between Sonic and Knuckles?
+Q: Why are you playing the old version, and not the 2011 re-release?
-A: Sonic has a bigger jump, has an aerial speedcap, and can't glide. He also has Tails following him, making the notable Metro 3 level wrap possible, along with several other small timesavers. For reference, not a single stage plays exactly the same as Sonic and Knuckles (they even get different times on Sky Chase!), but some are quite similar.
+A: Because that game is shit (worse physics and janky, horrible feel overall)
 
-Q: So who is faster? Knuckles or Sonic?
+Q: Japanese or American soundtrack?
-A: No level is the same, but overall it's very close. If you got perfect runs of both, Knuckles would be faster, but he has a lot of harder tricks than Sonic does, so it makes sense his time would be or a slightly lower standard, so the times should be about equal. Atm however Sonic's time (15:08) is lower than Knuckles' (15:21). If you are just talking about highest top speed in the levels, they both run at the same speed.
+A: I use Jap, I prefer it, just. Mainly the start of the game, which I'll be in more (PP Jap >>> PP US, but MM Jap << MM US)
 
-Q: Why do you pause before the boss in Aquatic Ruin 2?
+Q: Ok…you just skipped the whole level in Collision Chaos 1, what was that?
-A: It loads the boss faster. By pausing before the boss, it loads as soon as the camera is in position with the boss arena, whereas normally it takes about a second and a half to start. It's not to buffer any input, or to time anything, it's just abusing a quirky mechanic in that specific boss.

-Q: Ok…you just skipped the whole level in Oil Ocean 2/Metro 2/3, what was that?
+
 A: I can't be bothered until I get out of Palmtree Panic. They'll show up after that, all accurate.
 
 Q: Are there glitches in this run?
-A: I can't be bothered until I get out of Chemical Plant. They'll show up after that, all accurate.
