hi...
« on: May 28, 2006, 06:12:57 am »
Thought I should say hi. I don't plan to do a lot here but I might submit an occasional time.

I had a question though: Is it allowed to press the Start button to help with timing in the game? It isn't really necessary, but it makes some things a lot easier for me to do. (If it's not allowed then the time I submitted isn't valid since I ended up pausing 6 times in that attempt.)

Hey, I remember you!

Sonic Advance 2 TAS FTW!

I had a question though: Is it allowed to press the Start button to help with timing in the game? It isn't really necessary, but it makes some things a lot easier for me to do. (If it's not allowed then the time I submitted isn't valid since I ended up pausing 6 times in that attempt.)

I personally don't do this, because I can't use it well to advantage, but it is allowed.

Yeah, pretty much anything that the game allows you to do without using external devices is allowed.

Hey, welcome, and may I just say the Advance 2 TAS rocks.  A lot.

I've used mid level pausing occassionally, though only to avoid breaking my air-dash finger in some of the longer Advance 2 levels >_>  But sure, it's allowed.
This topic has now been officially won by me.  Never mind, you might do better next time!

Pause abuse is definitely allowed and used in certain cases. I have done it before, though a lot of my times and scores don't.


And, welcome! Good luck on getting records, because you know, it's not easy here, but it's  possible to break one.

I'm curious, what purpose does pausing like this serve, exactly? Is it to do with random ring boxes?

Rapid pausing gives the feeling that you're playing in slow motion, allowing you to react faster.  It also allows faster repetitive button mashing (particularly the four Ys to put on the Treasure Scope or Sunglasses).  The bad point is that it doesn't work in places where you have to jump.

Oh no... the TAS guy.

I don't want to be shot down.  I could finally have first!  MY CONQUEST SHALL NOT BE STOPPED!

Greetings there, Nitsuja.  And I guess I do have to thank you for the TAS as well.  I wouldn't have gotten more Egg Bomber Tank records without it.

And don't mind the rant.  I just wanted to say that.

Oh, don't worry, I'm really not very good at these games. Especially boss fights, I must be boss-fight-challenged or something. (I must be one of the only people to exceed 10 game-overs on the first boss of Sonic Rush before finally beating it once.)

I said the same thing.

Glad to see you made it

And you already got a record I see! Nicely done

Yeah, I think it's likely to be surpassed soon though, since my strategy is known and I lost several seconds on its execution. EDIT: I was right, even though I beat that original record by quite a bit.
