Alright, if any of you know already, I had started to compile a list of runs I thought would be great for the TSC community and those who play heroes and had no idea what to do in some of the stages. I then however made a topic in which people could request runs they would like to see. I then ran into a slight problem, I hadn't played in months prior to the topic and so I was rusty as hell. You can tell in the vid just how rusty I was, but rest assured in the videos to come, I get accustomed to the game once more and I improve a lot of my old records and vids.
This is Ocean Palace with Team Sonic and I gather all 447 rings. Thanks to the findings by DarkSpinesSonic (yes the same one I know many people know off of youtube, he goes to TSC too) he found out how to make all 3 characters go through the rainbow hoops at the beginning of the stage. With that knownledge in hand, I set forth to get 447 rings. Now when I had done so, only 2 others had done so done it afterwards (excluding DarkSpinesSonic since he was lazy about it).
Now I had recorded this run back in May, but was only able to get it out now due to my laziness and lack of equipment (hence why I don't take requests very often).
This along with 16 other run on 1 VHS tape, I sent it to someone by the name of Saestrol to handle the rest and this is the result. Quite frankly, he did a wonderful job and I can't thank him enough. More runs to come after the initial 16 btw, and maybe even more after that if things go well for me *wink* I also know someone by the name of Pokemonmaster888 had done the exact same run too, but mine is faster *heheh*

Jumping out of the loop does make it faster, but you have to jump at sort of an angle, with the character jumping foward, though loops are fun!

yeah, but heroes doesn't like you jumping out of loops.

Well just as I expected, YouTube would make the video look worse when you put it up. Heh heh I expected that. (Here's hoping one of your runs doesn't go over 11 minutes lol!)
But on the video, this is something I don't know If I could have the patience to do. I mean, Collecting every single ring is just a risk of patience if you ask me. This is excellent job done. Not to mention the hoops where if you screw it up once, you can't do it again.

I felt the same way when I first did these kinds of runs and the first couple of attempts in games like SA1, SA2, Sonic 1, Sonic3DBlast, etc...would put me off due to getting hit or dying easily or something. One Benefit I like is the fact when you're searching for rings, you get to explore the levels a lot more thoroughly than you would any other time.

Excellent video. Exactly like mine, but better. I don't usually go for a fast time in a stage while trying to get all rings. I look forward to see more of your runs!

well it helps due to the stage lengths, but I wont be uploading this to TSC. Besides, my other ones are longer than they should be :(
