So I made a livesplit analysis tool that runs entirely in a modern browser, it'll give you stats, history of attempts/pbs/etc, and of course some pretty graphs: https://t.co/5QysAJ3Vyk

@Hibnotix I like how you're holding a mic in one pic and the other looks like you're trying to hold one.

The Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Sonic TAS has now been submitted.

Who would have thought, after all these years, that there was a time save hidden in plain sight with Gapsule? Deferring the 1st, 3rd and 5th swings saves over half a second over the existing strat. It's RTA-viable with just knowing when to not be on the button.

Progress on the updated S3K TAS that me, @eandis99 and @TheChrezm are working on is going well, currently over 5 minutes faster than the existing Sonic TAS. https://t.co/GloYtbnHVA

@CucaSpeedrunner @Baby69Joey RTA-TBC has been a secondary timing method for about 5 years, so the majority of runs were already timed with it.

[JoeyBaby69 @Baby69Joey]

A monumental change has happened for Sonic 2.
As of April 17th, 2024, Sonic 2 (1992) speedruns will now use RTA-TBC as its primary timing method moving forward! We ran a poll with 30 individual Sonic 2 Speedrunners voting on the matter. Here were the results...

SadCat x S3K

@huds601 @Hibnotix Probably DFS have a stake in it.

@rainbowmon2018 @Baby69Joey Slope glitch (possible in S1,S2 & S3K) - obtained by the platform unloading whilst Sonic is standing on it (caused by the screen panned up, and tails walking off of it to send it down) tricks the game into allowing you to keep your angle on terrain, and thus walk into the floor.

@Baby69Joey What's even funnier, is that this type of thing was known years ago with the AR pillars etc What a find though.

[JoeyBaby69 @Baby69Joey]

THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY LMAOOOOO

[JoeyBaby69 @Baby69Joey]

New Sonic 2 sauce in 2023!

Slope Glitch can be performed at the start of Metropolis Act 3 with a setup that involves Sonic triggering a screenwrap while standing on an object. The glitch allows Sonic to bounce on the boss. One second faster for Sonic. 8 seconds faster for Knux.

@TheSoundDefense Wonder if they'll do the two Miles Edgeworth games aswell. They are the only ones of the older games I've yet to play.

@t0uwuchan Hi Hot, I'm dad, Happy Birthday!

@EdenalSDA Your cat reminds me of the cat in the shocked cat gif. It isn't them, is it? 😂

@huds601 Well, she's never being invited back, is she? 😂

[Ben @BenInSweden]

@Mindez "(fine)" sounds like it's doing it in protest.

[Ben @BenInSweden]

@Viixie_ Good luck - You've got this!
