The chaos control mechanic in this game made me so invested in routing, a process I previously thought tedious and boring. I even improved on the WR's routing for Rail Canyon Act 2 and briefly held the #1 spot on the PS5 for a week or so, an achievement I never thought possible for myself. Before real life pulled me from this game, it was the first game I actually felt invested in learning runs for since I tried running SA2 in high school years ago.

I hope you’re able to find some time in the future for speedrunning because it sounds like you got the speedrun brainworms like me and a lot of others 😎 very sick gamer hope to see you back on the leaderboards one day!
@Machination_243 күн бұрын
Just the fact you can have two whole different types of speedruns of this game's levels with the in-game timer and the real life timer thanks to Chaos Control being a feature is one of many reasons I'm glad this game exists. Seriously I still can't believe we got such a great individual game in what I just saw as a way to finally experience Sonic Generations for myself 🙏
@Emerldd3 күн бұрын
It’s a pretty unique thing. Like typically IL strats just add harder to execute timesaves that you wouldn’t go for in runs but this adds a different layer that’s pretty cool

I love how busted Chaos Control is in Shadow Generations and it’ll be cool to see it in future Sonic games when Shadow is playable again

I'm honoured to be featured in an Em video with the SCA1 IL gameplay! 😳 Also, I must say that ILs are super fun in this game since there is no other speedrun for a game out there (from what I can tell) where you have to take into account routing in a time stop mechanic by defeating enemies or collecting capsules like this game!
@Emerldd4 күн бұрын
Yeah I think it’s super unique and honestly really cool! I was hoping I didn’t sound too negative about it in the video but my real complaint is just that because of how the game tracks the time it forces different strats and can make the learning process for new runners confusing. But i think the idea of having different routing is genuinely so sick in general! I had a lot of fun grinding for leaderboard times before they got hacked Also dope ILs Ag 🥳 keep up the gaming

@@Emerldd Thank you! Also, I think you did well in that regard! As an IL players, I never really realized how it could be problematic for any% runners or people who want to run ILs using real time. Please keep up the streams and videos!

I def think it’s more comfortable to change the sprear to either a trigger or a bumper so ZL or L that’s what most people do! Also yeah I think it’s still really fun to do the CC routes but it’s def a different ballgame I think if you enjoy the CC routes you’ll enjoy any% as well because it’s less specific and ultimately makes you feel fast!
