Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: Chimera - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

My biggest concern is now everyone's going to think Sonic fans are terrible artists / autistics draw terrible Sonic fan art.

AND ONLY AUTISTICS. not that they didn't already.

I actually agree with him only because of this. The way SOnic had his "health" system was that, as long as you have one ring, you're fine, but like he says in a lot of boss fights you end up going in with NO rings, and in some cases no way of backtracking, which means you have a one-shot chance at this. Megaman had two things Sonic didn't: a health bar and a gun. The health bar meant he could take more than one hit, even if he died and came back to the scene. The projectile also allowed for more combat than just jumping on an enemy. In a sense, Classic's moveset just... doesn't seem that fit for boss fights.

Everything else he says, I can really see where he's coming from. 'Twas a great watch actually.

I kind of used the wrong term; the file format's cracked but the way the nodes are ordered makes no damn sense, and it just takes a lot of time and energy... and grunt work... to find it out. I guess.

EDIT: Updated my original post since I goofed.

If you instead use that $300 to pay someone to crack LightField, I'll do it for free. EDIT: Imma doofus. The stage we're at with that format is apparently just grunt work right now, which NOBODY wants to do, but it's not a $300 or $100 job by any means. Guess I just gotta suck it up. I'll still do the CD level though.

No I don't.

What I get is that you seem to think you NEED the S rank. You don't NEED the S rank. This is not IWBTG where you are forced to walk through a forest where standing stll for a microsecond in the wrong spot will kill you. Yes, you're exaggerating, but your point is this is an unfair ranking system.

Like I said, the S rank is the top tier rank. If you can't get it, YOU CAN'T GET IT. Maybe you can, if you keep practicing! But no need to dismiss this level as too hard or "only speedrunners would be able to S rank this," because S ranking... What's the benefit of getting an S rank? You get a fucking S rank. That's it. Nothing else. In games with difficulty like IWBTG, you finish the stage if you go through hell. In this game, you're considered badass and given a ranking for being such if you go through hell.

You remind me of one of those kids in school who would always be dissatisfied with getting a 90 on his test and see other people get 99 / 100, thinking "only a genius can finish these tests." While everyone has their own skill level, when it comes down to it, if you work your ass off you get the best score. If you don't, oh well, what you input is what gets output.

There are no achievements in this mod, so you won't die if you don't get all S ranks. If you don't get it, MOVE ON. I didn't get S ranks in the original Unleashed because I was stupid. Did I care? Fuck no. It was a grade on my performance. As long as I had fun in the stage, I was fine. If I really wanted to get an S rank, I'd look for all possible ways to optimize my time, like, oh I don't know, a speed runner. You know, like if I wanted to pass a test, I'd study so I retain information a genius would.

Don't cry if you can't reach a score Dario could when he was half asleep :S
