Sonic X Shadow Generations Speedruns are INSANE!!! (All Act 1)

[@JerichoRO]

the fact that these speedruns are still longer than a regular playthrough of a forces level speaks volumes for how good these levels are

[@MusSupremeJAR03]

So true, although it could also be the opposite, it speaks very badly of Forces [more than it already was], I hope that if the modders remade the Forces levels, they would do it at the level of Sonic x Shadow [just like they did with Sonic 2006]

HOLY CRAP! I just S ranked all the way up to sunsets and thought i mastered these stages, but geez.......... THIS SETTELS IT! This is a true sonic game thru and thru. The shortcuts and jumping you are doing was very common in old ps2 days of gaming when gaming was at its peak. The fact that you can play this game they way you did in the video and its not a requirement for S ranking a stage is what aonic games SHOULD ALL BE LIKE ❤❤❤

Seeing Shadow just flying through the level at Kingdom Valley was amazing to see in an un-modded sonic game.

[@_SYDGAMING_]

Holy shit that skip at the start is insane

[@cowpolk5763]

I love that even the very first levels are still long on a speed run due to the sheer amount of areas you go through. In generations GHZ and Chemical Plant felt very short on a modern sonic speed run. Its great fun that even going max speed still has you engaging with so many fun mechanics rather than just trying to skip over everything

[@Coolio_Ash]

Nah that kingdom valley run was INSANE

[@Double400]

God this game is so sick. Also funny how even speedrunning the levels they're still longer than the average forces level

[@hollowedboi5937]

[@V0ID0625]

if chaos control is activated you can still hit a chaos control capsule and it will replenish it after the activated one is over to save some time from stalling

[@sonicovertime]

Yes I do that for many of the runs, however if you do that in Space Colony Ark It seems that you lose milaseconds of time. As the refill crystals of the capsule takes abit. If you grab another capsule manually you get it right away. Also this doesn't work on the inside of the ark because you'd loose the bonus from attacking the enemies, so it's faster time wise to wait for the capsule to reset.

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

This is some of the most epic stuff i've seen

[@autosaver]

I find it insane that you can speed run these levels and they’re still over 3 minutes long. Meanwhile after Unleashed, you saw many stages being as short as 30 seconds with speed runs. I’m loving they’re making stages longer.

[@AbyssDefiantBlack]

That has less to do with the length of the stage and more to do with people actually learning how to break the stage and sequence break. Give it another Month or two and it’ll be the same thing here eventually

[@autosaver]

@@AbyssDefiantBlack Nah, notice I said games AFTER unleashed. I mean what I said. Colors, Forces, and Frontiers boost stages can all be finished is about a minute, maybe a bit more. Base Generations you can finish most stages at around 2 minutes. This is normal play throughs, no techs no exploits no glitches. Here we have people doing Shadow Generations stages using techs and exploits and still managing to take 3-4 minutes to finish a stage.

[@Cheesepoop]

Radical highway shows how good the ranking system can be if they just more strict with the times or skill in the level

[@selassieaspen9940]

​@@autosaver I don't see how Colors is a part of this because the game has more than 2 acts, and the stages can go on quite a bit in every zone. None of the gimmicks here has nothing to do with Colors levels design so it's foolish to compare. Your logic also fails further because after Unleashed is also this same game and Lost World. Which is long as Unleashed and Heroes. Longest Sonic game to beat.

[@brent8341]

This is one my favorite sonic speedruns. Plenty of skips, but it's not ten minutes of stupid out of bounds clips where the character just falls in a void for 5 minutes. These seem realistic for the average player to pull off and still allows flexibility/choice in routes. Hopefully players don't discover a bunch of out of bounds glitches that take over the speedrun community

[@CanalSDR]

I loved this run to boot! I am struggling with getting S rank in sunset hights. I am very bad at this game.

[@justadude3190]

The fact his voice actor is Yujiro whom is a badass is even better, though I’ll miss the old voice actor 🔥

[@littlemadster]

i just managed to S rank the stages and was curious what speedrunners were doing. so many shortcuts and skips i had no clue about :0 hats off to you, these are impressive! when figuring this out do you just take a few rounds poking through the stage to find or make your own alternate routes before mastering it?

[@oldstrikereatsrings]

19:23 WHAT!? I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT PATH

[@ShanyaTC]

normally right at the start there is a jump panel and halfway up there is a hole where you could boost and get to this path. There also will be a collection item

My favorite run is definitely Space Colony Ark, less than a second from the WR! Then it goes Sunset Heights and Chaos Island. The video took about 20 hours of practice, if you could leave a like that would be epic!

[@largeintestinalbacteria]

serious dedication bro take a break man also how

You gonna try to beat the WR? And did you start practicing once you beat the game?

[@sonicovertime]

The WR already decreased by like 6 seconds!! Someone must have found a new chaos control spot. I probably won't aim to beat the WR just wanted to see how far I could get on the leaderboards in 2 days. I did begin practicing after 100% the game.

@@sonicovertime Nice! Can't wait to see more speedruns from you!

[@mochaolait199]

(EDITED, SEE READ-MORE) I've been trying to run SxSG myself, and while I'm absolutely dazzled by the Chaos Spear usage, something's confusing me here; where are you getting that third Chaos Control during the first Black Hawk encounter in Kingdom Valley (10:23)? You carry one in, that makes sense; you hit a capsule for the second one, that makes sense; you never touched the Black Hawk, you passed right by it, so how'd you get a third Chaos Control? And likewise for the second encounter (11:19); you hit a capsule, use it, gain another Chaos Control from nowhere (near as I can tell), hit the second capsule, then gain a _fourth_ Chaos Control from nowhere (near as I can tell). EDIT: Looking at your Rail Canyon run, I realized all of these "from nowheres" share a common theme: they're all from capsules, and you're using them almost _exactly_ as soon as you get them. Are you telling me you can _double up_ on Chaos Control charges from the capsules just by activating CC the _second_ you break a capsule????

Is this your gameplay? If so what system did you play on? I wanna see your times on the leaderboards!
