EDIT:new goal, i am looking for someone to create compilation videos though.
welcome to my tas competition where you complete the goal i set you with as much efficiency as you can. my competition will not be focusing on a single game, but it will span multiple games and consoles, with a variety of tasks to keep it fresh.
here are some basic rules.
-at 10:00 PST (1 EST) on or before the specified due date, you must send a zip of the required movie files to TAScompetition@gmail.com(original i know). at that date i will start making the movie compilation and so late submissions will in most cases be accepted.
-please compress the files and name them along the lines of "TASchallenge#xbyNAME"
E.X. TASchallenge#1byThundrio.zip
-do not talk strategy or show WIP's/Finished products with other people, even if they are not competing in the current challenge.
-you may not CO-author with anyone for a given task unless otherwise specified
-timing is done by me, the timing starts and ends at the point i specify.
-any violation of the rules makes you viable for DISQUALIFICATION and further action if neccessary.
most of all have fun! i will try to make the tasks interesting and varied. any questions/comments/suggestions/clarifications can be posted here, pm'ed to me or emailed. i am not sure what to do on scoring yet, but i will decide by the due date of the first task.

Tas Task 4.
game title: sonic the hedgehog 2 (gen)
goal:enter carnival night zone 1 (2 player), and do the following.
1)get 50 rings as sonic
2)get 50 rings as tails
3)have sonic bounce off 5 circular bumpers (see picture below)
4)have tails bounce off 5 green flippers (see picture)
5)have both sonic and tails end on either a slot, or spring (See picture below). sonic and tails CAN NOT be on the same slot/flipper at the end.
start recording: from reset
start timing: the first all black frame after selecting carnival night zone
end timing: the first frame that sonic/tails are both in there respective spots (if on spring than spring has to be yellow, if on slot then slot has to be yellow)
due date:sunday, october 17
reason for choosing goal:my selection method includes not doing a system twice (until all of them have been done), and not doing a game series twice if i can help it. i also want this competition to introduce different TAS concepts to people, so this one will require multitrack (which gens has built in). i dont believe this will take too long, but i have not tried it yet. if people need me to make a explanation video i can.

results for task 1: this task was kind of a disaster, because i forgot to ban the one things (i havent played super metroid ever so that prolly wasnt a good idea,) and i made the goal too open. as a result i didnt finish mine and so RaijinXBLADE won by default, since he was the only one who entered (if you want to see his video pm me).
