Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers - All Chaos Emeralds (Gear 3) - RTA

New run:    • Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers - All Chaos...  

Recorded at 120fps. There may be some frame hiccups. At this point it's not even OBS that is the biggest problem.. It's the game itself that stutters

This was my final attempt for this category and gear and I was prepared for this to be my 'no reset' run, As in I will not reset this run and continue regardless of what happens.
It turned out I really did a no reset run.. with no game track resets.
I only failed Emerald 6 - Spikes 2x. 1 early, 1 late reset. Otherwise all the other Emeralds went great. Just wait till the Super Emeralds and then I'm gonna start struggling on more of them
The aspect I struggled with most were the Prisons! You can tell from watching this I never do the Prisons and you will see I am trash at them.
I did 1 Prison per cup rather than 2 or 0 as 0 is incredibly tight to get enough points on Gear 3 anyway and 2 is unnecessary.
Master is a consideration but the AI are even more brutal and getting 1st in the cup overall is still difficult
I did forget I was doing a Emerald run at times and on a few tracks you'll see me use Rings at the end when I should be saving them. Luckily that single Prison helps make up the difference when I make that mistake or have a SPB at the end
Forgot to remove the Credits split before I did this so RTA in video is slightly off

1:48 - I just got wrecked by my quick fingers. Watch frame by frame after I hit the boost panel and look at the OBS input viewer and the games. I hit the Drift button as you can see on the OBS viewer for only 1 frame and the game did not pick it up at all.
I knew something was off at the time. I would've sworn I hit the drift button and it turns out I did. Just way too quickly for the game to notice
4:29 - Time for the worst Prison attempt on this stage you've ever seen
4:50 - And I go the wrong way because obviously I do...
That was the worst I have done on that stage throughout every run attempt
7:39 - This is the prime example to have your eyes on the road and not the rearview mirror for a whole second
9:08 - Game can you like not drop a ton of frames? Don't worry... It only gets worse later
17:40 - Clutch 1st
18:30 - Why is it the CPU go flying off the stage when they hit some grey Springs
19:13 - That totally should've hit me
19:35 - Metal Sonic also should've hit me. What happened to everything?
24:13 - That was some interesting lag timing game. It almost looked like the Shrink caused it
25:28 - That's a lot of racers that just crossed within a second. The gap between me and 7th is barely over a second
32:19 - Dang… Only I could have the skill to thread the Gachabom in that gap
37:03 - Uh oh.. I'm getting flashbacks to a previous run. Except this Mine is giant... I didn't hit it!
37:58 - Well I'm not doing the start strat then
38:14 - I wish that would stop happening. Massive speed into a tiny bit of the wall and you stop entirely
39:10 - This is my chance! I have a Lightning Shield in this roulette. Can I grab it?
No I went way too early
41:34 - I gotta be honest I really wanted to hear more of UFO Catcher
48:00 - You know what this went terrible let's just finish it here. I'm glad you think exploding is cool Sonic
49:43 - Sigh... I don't even need to say anything
52:02 - Well this is unfortunate
52:52 - What a comeback
52;25 - Seriously game stop! This is the worst stutter I've had. At least it was on a straight part of the track. You know it's bad when the autosplitter IGT jumps 180ms.
Wish there was some way to debug this. It's like something is deadlocked at random intervals and it's duration is entirely random, It prevents the autosplitter from reading game memory or the IGT value and others just aren't being updated by the game. Can't exactly tell which reason it is
58:43 - That is a cruel Bumper
1:02:10 - Sonic just bouncing in the background
1:08:47 - I have a SPB here!? This doesn't happen often
1:09:30 - Not as bad as Regal Ruin stutter at least
1:10:52 - The classic Jawz experience on Sealed Stars
1:11:08 - Impossible! I cannot believe the Jawz hit the target when not aimed directly at the UFO!
1:24:35 - The game is trying to kill me! If I had held right for 1 frame longer and it stuttered for too long it would've held my right input and I likely would've fallen off. This is the hardest Chaos Emerald stage for me I don't need the games help to fail it as well
1:32:06 - At least I'm on a downward slope so I'm moving somewhere while tumbling
1:32:23 - That was a good shot, and I wasn't meant to fastfall
1:36:17 - What happens when you boost into a player with knockback from a grey Spring? You get yeeted
1:39:41 - Can we not have stutters here game when there is a bunch of lasers?
1:41:00 - This was a tactical hit. I wanted the SPB gone cause I didn't want it's boosts to help the CPU and i really wanted to be sure i finished with 20 Rings after getting C in a earlier stage. If this was a good idea or not I have no clue
