Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers - All Chaos Emeralds (Gear 2) - RTA

Recorded at 120fps. There may be some frame hiccups. Tried something new, Play at locked 144 fps. It microstutters more often but the longer ones rarely happen now and when they do they are much shorter. Probably the best playing/video experience out of 60/144/unlimited

Almost a Prisonless run.. Until Invincible cup decided to go all out, so I had to take its 2nd Prison. Fairly certain if I hadn't done the Prison I would not have enough points for the Emerald
All Super Emeralds Gear 3 next… Will be interesting as I never do the bottom row of cups on prior categories so I expect I won’t be as good at them

1:12 - Don't check your Discord! It's the video. I don't often get pings/DMs so I don't bother to turn on DnD
5:45 - I avoided the Mine... but at what cost?
7:25 - Well I'm not doing the start strat then. What timing by the CPU!
12:57 - Fun moment, I got boost state being hit by the UFO and the next game tic it ran into me so it damaged itself
Wait I just noticed I didn't get tumbled by the UFO hitting me. I've had this happen before and I thought I got tumbled. Maybe I'm mistaken
13:21 - As demonstrated nicely here, that's what normally happens when you get hit by the UFO. I knew you usually tumble.. How weird for what happened earlier
17:02 - Lucky Jawz dodge
22:52 - Every time a Orbinaut is thrown forward I manage to get straight into its path
25:18 - Guess I'm not the only one that happens to get hit by Orbinauts not directly thrown at them
26:31 - I start to get concerned at this point I might not get enough points to enter the Sealed Star. This is my 3rd lost lap bonus overall
26:48 - I chucked a Banana right into the Mine he just threw
27:17 - Well this is bad! 4 lost lap bonuses, got 3rd and a Rank C. Guess I'm not getting the Emerald...
27:29 - How!? There's no way I made that... The perfect Ring total must have saved me
29:02 - That is way too close! I was 2 points or 4 Rings away from missing the Emerald
32:20 - That was some skill to miss 7 CPUs and then hit myself with the Orbinaut
34:20 - Tails was in pain again when I crossed the finish line and Amy was happy when I got the A rank!
39:55 - You got boost power! (F-Zero GX reference)
40:04 - Rings may be a tad powerful as a catch-up tool
42:11 - Oh it's a baby SPB! It's so cute! How harmful could it really be?
43:42 - How!? I think this is more skillful than me threading the Gachabom in that Prison stage the last run
51:41 - More hitbox jank, I definitely hit that Shrink but sure game I didn't hit it
56:42 - Wait hang on a second. Eggman bounced into the shortcut area
58:42 - DIdn't expect to grab the Emerald that quickly
1:05:45 - I was way too close to getting SEGA'd there
1:08:33 - I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. Eggman was 1 corner behind and he gets Invincibility. Seriously? Us mere mortals could only dream of getting such items when you are within 3 seconds of 1st
1:10:13 - Yep.. That figures. Same distance as lap 1 naturally means another invincibility.
You can start to see why I needed to do the Prison on this cup. I am now missing 5 lap bonuses and got a 3rd and 2nd and don't have perfect Rings. I'm 99% sure I can't get the Emerald
1:10:36 - Bear with me while I be an idiot and lookup my LiveSplit hotkeys for the Undo button.
I didn't think until after the run that I uhh could've just hit Undo in LiveSplit without the hotkey
1:11:55 - And my memory is clearly so bad I can't remember which key was the Undo button. So I end up hitting the Switch Comparison button 2x and now it is comparing against Best Segments
1:13:04 - You know what's coming
1:16:36 - I thought my run was over... I think I grabbed that with less than 5 game tics to spare
1:24:19 - Really? The 'waves' of the SPB damage you? No wonder I get hit 99% of the time the SPB changes target from me. It's hitbox is massive then
1:30:32 - Finally! I might first try this Emerald for once! Oh wait- No! I went too far. The 6th Emerald curse is still with me
1:31:16 - Oh wow. Didn't realise I was only 5 points away from failing
1:37:33 - Game, This is not the time to make me come to a dead stop when my butt or side hits a wall!
1:38:56 - I finished how far ahead of 2nd!? 27 seconds? Not sure I've ever got that far ahead before here
1:39:24 - Uhhh. Where is Fang going?
Ok but seriously how/why did Fang get over there?
1:50:28 - Let's change the segment comparison back to PB.. Oh why did I bother now I find the undo key 1st time! Ugh just forget it lol
