If he did, surely I would ridicule him. Besides, not all the levels have videos on TSC, and of those that do, few are optimal. He's got a fair job ahead of him just matching the best console times, but once he figures out the pertinent strategies he should be able to thrash most of them.

Judging from what you said earlier (and edited for grammar), "I insulted the run, you insulted the man," I would think that you now have a personal vendetta with JXQ, since now you want to ridicule the man. Which, in your own words, is quite lame, considering the fact that we're talking about a blue hedgehog. Just because you might be the best Sonic the Hedgehog player in the world gives you no right to be a dick.

  • You meant edited for a typo, not grammar.
  • My comment was clearly said tongue-in-cheek.
  • I have never claimed to be the best Sonic the Hedgehog player in the world.
  • Read more carefully, and get a clue.
You are welcome to try again.

Actually, as far as I can tell, none of your comments are clearly tongue-in-cheek; they're mostly just mean. I didn't mean to imply that you claimed that you were the greatest Sonic the Hedgehog player in the world, I was just reading your earlier posts (and others'), and apparently you're pretty damn good. It sounds like you think that gives you the right to be a dick, and to harass JXQ about his own Sonic the Hedgehog playing, when it shouldn't. I haven't been around here (on the forums) all that long, but I would guess that this "curse" of never finishing this run comes from the rabid antagonism emanating in this topic. I wouldn't want to finish the run either if I was being assaulted by others because of a damn video game. I hope I found that clue you were talking about.

I just wanted to update everyone on how the run is going. I'm currently at the boss of Labyrinth 3. I won't be posting any more WIPs because I am enjoying making the run much more since I decided not to. You can check my progress in my signature, I'll try to update it whenever I progress through the run. And, not to jinx myself, but I should be finished with the run before Christmas. *Dodges curse* Thanks to everyone who's supporting this run!

Christmas? If you manage to do it by then... that's impossible. The curse might still have time to take effect, beware. Good Luck!

I think he only has 6-7 stages left if Im not mistaken so Im fine with not viewing any wips as he is pretty close ending the game.

This ridicule is what stopped me from enjoying working on this project, so I'm avoiding it altogether by not posting my progress. And Angerfist, there are 6 stages left...plus the Final Zone, but that can pretty much be ignored in how long it takes to do this run.

Since your not posting any wip, which is perfectly understandable, is there any chance you could tell us what times you have gotten so far?

I would like to, but I feel that it could cause similar conflicts that posting WIPs caused, and I don't want to have any reason to lower my motivation at this point. I will say that I've gained an average of 72 frames per level against those which have a WIP to measure against since I stopped posting my own.

Fair enough. Cant wait to see the finished product then, keep up the great work.

Thanks to everyone who respected my decision to not post my progress. Hopefully it was worth the wait! http://tasvideos.org/907S.html

I watched it too, very nice job. Do you think you could do another version where you get all the Chaos Emeralds?

Something I'd like as well, but I doubt will get.

I personally don't see the point in a run like that (for Sonic 1 especially, being that there is no Super Sonic), except maybe to see how quickly the bonus levels can be done. So I won't be pursuing that, sorry!

Well, congratulations anyway! I agree with you I think, although it would still be nice to see one. BTW, I thought it was great what you did.

If your grasp of the English is so poor that you can't understand sarcasm, go somewhere else and argue in a language in you actually understand.
It's true that I don't always understand language from stupid people since it's hard to understand. P.S. I hope you have noticed that I have written your language.

The main point here is simple. JXQ said he was interested in continuing my run. But it turns out he was not interested in this at all. He was only interested in copying my run in a manner he knew I would find unsatisfactory, and then giving half an effort in the levels he couldn't copy virtually frame for frame. I don't care that he's using my strategies. I made them public so that people could enjoy them. But I do care that he is using my strategies in a shitty run. I subjected GH1-3 to such thorough and meticulous optimization that the best JXQ could do was shave 4 frames across three levels. Compare this to the fact that I shaved 5 frames off of a single jump in his Marble 1 about 2 seconds into the level. If he is not willing to hold his run to the same standards as my GH1-3/SY1-2/L1, then I don't want him using my work! I stopped my run because I couldn't stomach the thought of producing shit, whether or not anyone else was capable of recognizing it. I don't want my work continued by anyone without that same ethic, attention to detail, and demand for excellence.

No amount of violent and vicious exposition on your part is going to change the fact that you picked up a run from an author with demanding standards, and have proven unwilling to conform to those standards on levels that require you to come up with your own strategy. That's lame.
The main problem, some people want you to do things as like if it was their own run but when the video is done, they are saying that the movie is a pure copy of their video. That's lame.

It's a bit late to continue that, I think... argue in PMs or something if you must.

to continue that? why? is it really needed? do you think that there's any good consequence to this? seriously, i vote for close topic.. seems that even if we forget it now, someone will ever put this discussion back, which is not giving to us anything interesting
