5:22 god damn that is evil. >_<

[akpokemon]

GAH! THE FREAKING CHIRPING WITH THE TIME BONUSES AT THE END OF THE ACTS!!

But good job.

[jomon324]

why is the framerate so high? It's like 80fps or something. I mean HOLY CRAP it's difficult looking and all, but my question is: WHAAAAAYYYY is the framerate like that of a soap opera? (XD I don't watch them, but I had an experience where I flipped from the news to one, flipped back and forth for a bit, and then spent the day wondering why the soap looked better than the news camera. XDDDDD)

[haventownsend]

@jomon324 I know this comment is old, but I can explain why the soap looks better, and so does this video. Things when recorded at 24 fps get smoothed to 30 fps it tends to create a flowing video that creates and illusion of excellent movement. Same thing happens with 30 fps bumped to 60 fps.

[jomon324]

@haventownsend Ok, I never thought I would get an answer for that which actually made sense. You have literally made my day. Thank you so much!

[Typh3621]

The red rings.... = A challenge that even beats the greatest of TASers. When I first read the description of this hack on Sonicretro I thought "Noway could it be impossible, tasers could do it" It appears I was wrong..

[MMBADBOI]

runs so smooth nice one

[milieu444]

WTF 1:07 TO END OF ACT 2

[williamb970]

OMFG DO NOT WERE ELECTRIC SHEILD OR YOULL DIE INSTANTLY CAZ THE RED RINGS O.o

[gggggmmmod]

sonic's live at the end have gone crazy!

[TheMVRules]

blad005 has completed "OMG THE RED RINGS"

[wolfdragon1209]

what would happene if a red ring touched you?

[emu2000]

Sonic is killed, when he touches a red ring (which btw has a ridiculously large collision box).

[wolfdragon1209]

oh.

[manuelschi]

at the end you'll see that it kills you

[AMDkicksass]

also you have to put sonic in a box and mail him too Microsoft XD

[gamegod9000]

This was a really old hack, so the collision box wasn't that good...

BTW, SYZ 1 and 2 cannot be beaten without debug, the author even said so.

[PurpleRosesofDeath]

LoL I was watching this thing and laughing the whole time. Those rings r 2 good

[GenyaArikado]

great job ! i started to play this hack today, and i'm only at the marble stages right now

[ShadowtailsFmafan17]

im always scared of those rings like in sonic robo blast execpt it fallows us x.x

[Muzozavr]

Well, actually I've found a video of a trick that might make SYZ 1 possible... jumping to the life/shoes place, then bounce off a wasp badnik, and hop over the ceiling. However, that video used speed shoes, which are unavailable in this hack. Question is: is it possible WITHOUT the speed shoes?!

[emu2000]

Are you sure? All I managed to hit so far, were the crabs and that did not give me enough boost. The wasps are triggered by coming from the left. Thus I never managed to hit them jumping from the upper platform. And even if I could hit them, I think sonic does not gain much more height, than he had at his first jump.

[Muzozavr]

Sorry, it WAS a crab. Guess I was mixed up.

So without the speed shoes=impossible? Not in any way? Not even trying to run from the leftmost bit of the platform to trigger a wasp?

[Muzozavr]

I have completed all the levels (with savestates) except SYZ1 and SYZ3. SYZ2 is possible, but very hard.

SYZ 1 looks like an obvious impossibility, but I wonder if you could use some sort of a glitch to pass SYZ 3?

[NaturelLorenzo]

aaaaaaaaahhhhhaaaaa, you was watching Upthorn's, JXQ's And Carretero's sonic 1 tas video

[emu2000]

The zip trick was discovered by carretero and posted at tasvideos in September 2007. It was since then implemented in all sonic 1 tases. It basically revolves around being pushed into the ceiling and pressing right, left, left. The ejection routine gives sonic a speed of appr. 32 pixels/frame, which is enough to pass through solid objects.

[Lucario22]

WTF happened in GHZ 2?

[emu2000]

I'm not sure, but I think nfq discovered this one. The ejection routine of the wall allows sonic to pass through the left edge of the screen, which teleports him far to the right. In the normal sonic TAS, sonic can pass the sign earlier, but in this hack I had to avoid the last ring.

[Lucario22]

I understand now, u used this trick 2 warp u 2 the end of the stage, therefore all u had to do was get past the ring

[Tommycopter]

Awesome as usual, this game is meant to be quite tricky so this is impressive.

[NaturelLorenzo]

good tas of omg the red rings, how did you do that glitch by marble zone
