A challenge

[Shadow Hog]

As a way of artificially extending the life of SRB2 to make the wait for v1.09 seem shorter, I have a new challenge for you all: clear GFZ using only these things: turning, jumping, thokking, flying, gliding, and Spin Dashing. Despite a tricky point in the middle of GFZ2 (three red springs, tall cliff, very, VERY hard to get over with Sonic without moving in mid-air, but doable), it's very possible. THZ, on the other hand, starts you off at a similar spring trap with very little time to do it (or else you'll have two Red Crawlas hogging the edge, knocking you back every time you get CLOSE, rendering the thing impossible), so I'm not counting it. Likewise, I dunno about CEZ, though I can't THINK of anything that'd be stopping you...

So? How about it?

I don't think I quite understand, you listed everything except for strafing.

He listed everything except for W, A, S, and D ^_~

 

[Shadow Hog]

Yeah, but some people don't play with WASD, so I kinda HAVE to list all the moves...

Then again, I guess an easier way to put it is, "beat the levels without walking forward/backward, or strafing".

 

[Shuffle]

That's kinda easy, all you gotta do is thok, spin, and jump.. I do that half the time anyways >.>

It SOUNDS easy, and... well, for the most time, it IS easy. But then you reach a jump that you just NEED those movement keys for, and you can't use them, making it pretty danged hard. Try it, you'll see what I mean.

 

[Shuffle]

Only spot I've found like that is areas that need springs, but all you gotta do is hit them diagonally.

 

[Shadow Hog]

You make it sound easier than it really is. Finding and then setting up that diagonal is a pain.

But, if you want a challenge, then go ahead, do THZ1 before those Red Crawlas come up your rear.

 

[Shuffle]

Actually, the Red crawlas helped me, but okay :).

 

[Bigboi]

Done! 8)

 

[Ritz]

Now here's another challenge: Get from the beginning of GHZ2 to the ramp with the springs in a single spindash.

...It's been done before.

 

[Bigboi]

Yeah, you have to angle it really well, though.

 

[Sik]

I think that this isn't too difficult... More difficult is get the enough power...

Semi-official announcement: GFZ is doable as Tails, and so is THZ1. Working on THZ2

 

[Chaos Zero 64]

I did GFZ in a flash as Knuckles. Act 2 was easy, I still went the high way with the red spring in the beggining. It was still funny when I started. "Oh this is easy. ... ahh this is taking a long time. I'll just climb this here wall and... oh."

 

[FuriousFox]

... turning, jumping, thokking, flying, gliding, and Spin Dashing. ...

Climbing isn't on that list.

 

[Chaos Zero 64]

Exactly, thats when I realize that it required going foward n backward

 

[ST218]

Okay, it's official. On Normal at least, with Tails, it is possible to complete the entire game with only spin dashing, jumping, flying, and turning. It'll be hell, especially on GFZ2 and CEZ2, but it's possible. Anyone care to check the other guys?

 

[Ritz]

I think that this isn't too difficult... More difficult is get the enough power...

That's the thing, you run out of power before you even get close. There is a trick to it, though.

Anyway, how about Mario Koopa Blast? We should try those, too.
