Hey there!. I have seen a competition for sonic 1 and sonic 3 but not what is probably the most iconic of them all sonic 2

Anyways let's get straight to business.. I wanted to make this different and a bit more competitive than the others.... This will involve all the stages in Sonic 2 apart from Sky Fortress... Basically you just need to take a screen shot of your fastest time on a stage... So for example you can post a screen shot of Emerald Hill 1 and Chemical plant 1... Basically it's a huge Individual Level Speed run competition.... 

so if you get the fastest time for one of the 17 specific stages....you shall get

1st = 500 viz
2nd = 250 viz
3rd = 100 Viz... 

That may seem a little low but you win up to 8500 Viz.....PLUS!

I will be keeping tally on who is currently in which position and you will get points for coming in the top 3 as so...
1st = 50
2nd = 25
3rd = 10

Whoever has the most points at the end of this competition will also receive... 
1st = 5000 viz
2nd = 2500 viz
3rd = 1000 Viz.

The competition will end on the 31st August. Giving you all 3 weeks to hone your skills.
The rules are simple... No debug mode... No hacks... No glitches... I also know the limits of each level so if i can legitimately say what you have done is impossible you will be DQ'd from that zone!... (yes every act on the zone you cheated on)

If anyone has any more questions don't be afraid to ask.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. So do I pick a level or is it like one stage a day kind of thing? 

G@mehe@d : Err you can do all the stages now if you really wanted too. There isn't a limit to the amount of zones or acts you can do...

rcarter2 :  
Eddy88 :  
MegaRevolution1 : I thought you three might like this as well.

I have something a bit better than screen shots. Videos, Nya~! :3
Emerald Hill Zone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o4Iv-ipPx4
Chemical Plant Zone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny6o3o5vjVo

And I guess, despite not being much of a speedrun...
Wing Fortress - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b5_izU-gtM

Hope they can be allowed, Nya~.

MegaRevolution1 :
Yeah Videos are actually better... But i know most people won't have the tech or so to post / record them....

Also i may post videos of me doing each level sometime... It's up to you guys if i can take part i suppose

Here is one level. I will post more later.

Cool oh guys... When you provide evidence for metropolis zone please state if it's act 1 or 2 please.... the rest are easily identifiable.

Also summon anyone else you think may be interested.

I just did the whole Emerald Hill Zone and Chemical Plant Zone speedruns.

These aren't my potentional best.

Emerald Hill Zone Act 1: 0:21



I can improve the level by a second and that's it. I can do maybe 0:19 on the gamecube controller.

------

Emerald Hill Zone Act 2: 1:01



I can do less than sub 1 minute easily, but I made some mistakes. I can try again later if I can.

------

Chemical Plant Zone Act 1: 0:54



I can shave a few seconds without falling into the water or get hit at the end, I could cap at maybe 0:48-0:50 if I could with a gamecube controller.

------

Lastly, Chemical Plant Zone Act 2: 1:51



------

I only save stated at the title card of each level so I can try again until I get a good run. Hopefully that shouldn't be cheating if you save state on the title card.

Hopefully, these 4 submissions can net me points, since non-offical contests now boost my activity a bunch.

I will do Aquatic Ruins Zone soon.

Sadly, I can't get to the later levels right away because when I use the level select code on the boxed emulator, when I enter the last part of the code to unlock the level select, it just plays the Oil Ocean music forever and it can't stop unless you reset the game.

Right I'm going to enter.... It's just too hard to resist.... Plus it might motivate some of you to do better ... 

I just finished the Aquatic Ruins Zone speedrun, both acts were very hard and I couldn't stop cursing just because I screw up from taking a hit. I even tried to break my Chemical Plant Zone  act 2 speedrun record, but I was off by 1 FREAKING SECOND!!! Just because the screen scrolled too slow, I missed the switch and landed right next to it making me cry in rage.


Aquatic Ruins Zone Act 1: 0:47



A few mistakes, not too bad.

------------

Aquatic Ruins Zone Act 2: 1:23



------------

The first 3 zones is all I am going to speedrun.

Emerald Hill was good for me, nothing bad.

Chemical Plant had mistakes, not doing the zone EVER AGAIN!!!

Aquatic Ruins was harder than Zone 2, (Chemical Plant) and I nearly died on the boss of act 2 in this level because I lost my last ring, and I destroyed robotnik before he could hit me with his hammer again. A improvement that I can do is to do a 6 rev spindash (6 spindash charge ups in less than half a second.) so I don't have to jump at the boss. That can save almost 6-9 seconds.

sonicmcmuffin : CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Here are the times for Emerald Hill and Chemical Plant:

Emerald Hill:





Chemical Plant:





Next screenshots coming soon!

I am more than likely going to do a single segment speed run and record it and link it at the end of the month ... I've gotta show off somehow

I can say that at the moment I'm easily beating people on Chemical plant 2.

sonicmcmuffin: I'm so gonna join this! This is my favorite Sonic game! I have videos of it, but it lags a  little....

Emerald Hill:

Zone 1: 0:41
Zone 2: 1:21

Chemical Plant:

Zone 1: 1:43
Zone 2: Failed!

P.S. The video's unlisted: you can only find it with the link!

Matthew2321 : Nice... ... just watched them just a really minor hint try and be in ball form as much as possible

oh just in case people have difficulty with a certain level etc.. You can use the level select code... Here it is let's get some runs of the later levels...


 From the main screen, select Options. Select Sound Select and play sounds 19, 65, 9, 17, then push C. Press Start to return to the main screen, and when Sonic and Tails appear, hold A and press Start.

More Screenshots right here!

Aquatic Ruin:





Casino Night:





Hill Top:





That's all for now...

I remember when I was younger beating all of these sonic games on the sonic sega collection on the GameCube. Good times.

And even more Screenshots!

Mystic Cave:

sonicmcmuffin : Apparently, I'm the only one who cares about this so... Two suggestions: 1- Compite for your own Viz, or, the best one in my opinion: 2- Close this and give Eddy the Viz.  

Also, Do I skip Sky Chase? I mean, since it's a scrolling level...

Anyways, Screenshots:

Oil Ocean:





Metropolis:

Eddy88 : nope it stops at the end of metropolis 3... I'll probably make the video tomorrow .

Well I've done my single segment speed run and I'm just waiting for it to upload onto youtube...  I'll send a link to anyone that's interested
