Sonic X Shadow Generations - Radical Highway Act 1 - No Doom Wings S Rank (

[@MariusUrucu]

Better run (3:10:58) of Radical Highway Act 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6i2n4GnrdSYjrcsi=kcRUPpnRmv2rP5-8

[@MariusUrucu]

Already missed a hidden pathway right at the beginning that I found out after uploading this video. The level design in this level is insane.

[@xsonicdragon]

That skip at 1:05 was insane! Damn, I gotta use that the next time I do a no Doom Wings run. Managed to get 3:21, but definitely can be improved with the routing you did there.

[@Colecionador7162]

Every time I watch a speedrun of this game I go "WAIT YOU COULD DO THAT!?!?", it's crazy lol

[@Twocoolman115]

It reminds me so much of the adventure games, how could you skip entire sections if you knew what you were doing.

[@Meikoloid2U]

You probably already know this, but you can also grind the rails on the side of the bridge at 2:34

Aw c'mon man, I just wanted to see what path you took and suddenly Shadow's flying over chasms shooting chaos spears like porcupines in kids movies

[@NIMPAK1]

Not gonna lie, I'm genuinely getting vibes of the one city level from Spark 3. I've probably tried routing that level god knows how many times.

[@docblack59]

Protest City or Pacific Abyss?

[@heitorsant1759]

SA2 remake looking good

[@iH8Mercy]

I saw this on Twitter but you can hold the quick step button and shadow will do a slide animation. Idk how this will be used but I feel like there’s hella shit we don’t know about this game yet

[@HippyHappyHour]

You can do a quick step slide thing by double tapping lb or rb on Xbox(r1/r2 on PlayStation) and it covers 2 spaces to the left or right instead of just one. It's like an improved quick step of sorts. I don't know if that's the same thing you mean or not but I find it very cool. He even does like a spinning move while he does it

[@HippyHappyHour]

R1/l1 I mean. Sorry I'm not familiar with PlayStation controls lmao

[@SomeAndre]

This is NOT SA2 Shadow this IS SA2B Shadow, The Models are Very Different

[@NeoGraena]

Yeeaa. SA2 Shadow has pointy ears & low poly hands. SA2B has rounded ears & high poly hands

[@raezor6941]

I'm fucking sorry-- did this dude just fly with CHAOS SPEAR OF FUCKING THINGS INSTEAD OF DOOM WINGS?!

[@gameman5804]

Personally, I would’ve preferred a full level that isn’t all distorted. Not a fan of Radical Highway being in the middle of a city, tbh. I much prefer the network of roads over the ocean with scattered buildings.

[@joegomez5463]

Glad I'm not the only one lmao.

[@gameman5804]

@@joegomez5463 Where’s the NiGHTS Building?

[@mooganify]

The fact it shows up in like 3 other stages too is a bit much as it eats into their spotlight. And this being the choice for the final zone is weird. Black comet would make the most sense or even Westopolis as that was Doom’s first attack on Earth.

[@gameman5804]

@@mooganify Sunset Heights was the worst with Black Doom. It’s better than the original stage, but I was pissed to see how little of the actual stage we got. It starts out so fucking promising. It’s on a much larger scale, and it’s pretty much I expected Forces to be… and then Black Doom shows up and hogs half of the level. I never “Manned” this hard in the original Forces.

[@gamecrafter115]

​@@mooganifythe reason that they made radical highway the final level was supposed to be a "back to where it all started" kind of thing since it's the first level you ever play as shadow. I do agree that it is weird that we didn't get a single level from shadows own game though

[@n0th1ng404]

yknow this mod would be well paired with that one mod that replaces the boost with the skating anim

Tbh I didn't like the excessive censorship with Amy but I guess if it makes women happy or encourages self esteem, whatever. The good gameplay is unexpected, nice run! I wish I had the PC version to mod Shadow's animation to make it like SA2.

[@technicallyinept2120]

I opted to skip on Sonadow Gens unless it gets a price drop. I already own Generations. And honestly Shadow Gens just doesn’t look that good to me. The level design is just not up to par from what I have seen… …though every now and then I’ll see a bit of gameplay that looks like it could be kind of fun. Like this looks like it could be one of the better levels. I don’t know. Still doesn’t look worth 50 dollars. But as I said, glad you’re enjoying it at least.

[@KLUCZESIA]

Why did you had to use that name, Jesus Christ... you already lost the arguement in that moment, for me.

[@TitanicTitan26]

The level design is just not up to par? Man this is probably the best level design the Sonic franchise has ever seen, every act of every stage is of top notch quality that really isn't matched by any other game in the series. Shadow Gens does have some problems but the level design is absolutely not one of them.

[@technicallyinept2120]

@@TitanicTitan26 Let’s just say I do not agree even a little bit. There’s not enough platforming. Too much time spent just boosting forward and automation. Quick step sections which have never interesting. Over Reliance on homing attack chains where the gameplay is just pressing x. Alternate paths that, in more cases than not, the only real gameplay involved in getting on them being noticing they are there rather than skilled play. Alternate paths that are some times pointless as the only benefit is a few extra rings. Movement speed is turned down in comparison to the original boost games, which further removes difficulty. There appear to be some cool skips you can do every now and then. But for the most part it looks quite shallow. This is what I see when I look at this games levels most of the time. And I just feel nothing. Best level design in the series? From what I have seen, it does not even compare to the game it came with which was originally released in 2011. Don’t even get me started on the Classics.

[@TitanicTitan26]

@@technicallyinept2120 There's a lot of platforming, and what automation is there can almost always be skipped outright by a good player. There are a wide variety of alternate paths (probably more than you see in any other sonic game). There's also a lot of cool tricks and gimmicks to the movement. Doesn't compare to the game it came with? The levels here completely blow Sonic Generations out of the water it's not even a competition. But seeing as you've already said you skipped the game, you can't really make any actual informed statements about the quality of the level design.

[@KLUCZESIA]

@@TitanicTitan26 Too bad we can't get the Shadow story seperately, because I hate this remaster for how much censorship Sega put in it now. I had only like 1 thing to complain in the original, now instead of fixing the story to make it more interesting, they did this for some reason, like what in Chaos.
