The chaos control mechanic in this game made me so invested in routing, a process I previously thought tedious and boring. I even improved on the WR's routing for Rail Canyon Act 2 and briefly held the #1 spot on the PS5 for a week or so, an achievement I never thought possible for myself. Before real life pulled me from this game, it was the first game I actually felt invested in learning runs for since I tried running SA2 in high school years ago.
I hope you’re able to find some time in the future for speedrunning because it sounds like you got the speedrun brainworms like me and a lot of others 😎 very sick gamer hope to see you back on the leaderboards one day!
Just the fact you can have two whole different types of speedruns of this game's levels with the in-game timer and the real life timer thanks to Chaos Control being a feature is one of many reasons I'm glad this game exists. Seriously I still can't believe we got such a great individual game in what I just saw as a way to finally experience Sonic Generations for myself 🙏
It’s a pretty unique thing. Like typically IL strats just add harder to execute timesaves that you wouldn’t go for in runs but this adds a different layer that’s pretty cool
I'm honoured to be featured in an Em video with the SCA1 IL gameplay! 😳 Also, I must say that ILs are super fun in this game since there is no other speedrun for a game out there (from what I can tell) where you have to take into account routing in a time stop mechanic by defeating enemies or collecting capsules like this game!
Yeah I think it’s super unique and honestly really cool! I was hoping I didn’t sound too negative about it in the video but my real complaint is just that because of how the game tracks the time it forces different strats and can make the learning process for new runners confusing. But i think the idea of having different routing is genuinely so sick in general! I had a lot of fun grinding for leaderboard times before they got hacked Also dope ILs Ag 🥳 keep up the gaming
@@Emerldd Thank you! Also, I think you did well in that regard! As an IL players, I never really realized how it could be problematic for any% runners or people who want to run ILs using real time. Please keep up the streams and videos!
@@Ag-wk5mg have you heard of our lord and savior sonic the hedgehog (2006) red gem ILing in shadow generations reminds me a lot of ILing sonic with gems there, having to reroute around a time dilation mechanic ends up being pretty interesting!
Spear Griddy Supremacy 💯 persoanlly sub hour i think feels obtainable once we find another big skip for a stage if i had to guess WHERE that time save would be coming from, im guessing either one of the bosses or sunset heights
i'd like to use this opportunity to once again officially announce my sub-hour bounty of a single dollar (1USD) and one corn chip. oh yeah and good video too ig idk i'm biased tho (i may be obsessed watching streams of this game's speedruns Oops)
I love to speedruning this game but honestly now when I see this video I realize I like to do optimal chaos control paths One day I'm gonna start a true run I if see it looks fun Play it would be AWESOME, and now make sense why I finish the game around of 2 hours😅 Now try the real one
I def think it’s more comfortable to change the sprear to either a trigger or a bumper so ZL or L that’s what most people do! Also yeah I think it’s still really fun to do the CC routes but it’s def a different ballgame I think if you enjoy the CC routes you’ll enjoy any% as well because it’s less specific and ultimately makes you feel fast!
@@Emerldd I enjoy a lot CC but I recently tried a LTA and it's a hole new experience and optimization on how can you perform some tricks and exploit at the maximum capacity the m speed of his own glory And doing speedruns like this does break my controller? 😅

I love how busted Chaos Control is in Shadow Generations and it’ll be cool to see it in future Sonic games when Shadow is playable again
Almost ten years my my. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary Em.
Damn im old…
Literally the perfect video to show up on my recommended since i just submitted my first run earlier today

2:47 i call it the “hawk tuah” because spamming chaos spear makes it sound like shadow is saying “hawk tuah”
WAAAAAAIT LMAOOOOO
@ your welcome king
@ your welcome king
Yayyy he got a video out! Very great video btw! I gotta These speedruns
thank you so much samu :D yeah i been slacking but new year, new me!
I NOW KNOW THE POWER OF SPEAR GLIDING
Dude it’s so fun, it’s like the perfect tech too. Not too hard to execute, usable everywhere, and makes you go insanely fast
I was using it on chaos island
After 2 months
HES FINALLY READY LETS GO
I MADE THIS VIDEO 3 TIMES 😭😭😭
Yassss Emerldd Content 🤯 Great Video 🙌
Thank you Jam :D
Good game, hard game, fun game.
just like penny...
WAIT IS THAT SHADOW GENS AND PENNY'S BIG BREAKAWAY WORLD RECORD HOLDER XANZ????????
@@Emerldd perhap....
Shadow Generations feels like if you gave Sonic cool ass roller skates, the ability to time stop, and the ability to throw spears.
Wait a second.....
Waaaaaait…
Spear Griddy Supremacy 💯
persoanlly sub hour i think feels obtainable once we find another big skip for a stage
if i had to guess WHERE that time save would be coming from, im guessing either one of the bosses or sunset heights
yeah we need some bossfight skips or something that would be HUUUUGE
Woooo great video! 🎉
flip yeah thank you!
Great video. Now you honestly incentive me for speedrun this game later in 2025 😅
hell yeah man i hope you do and i hope you like it :D
YESSSS NEW EMERLD VIDEO you're my favorite speedrunner, hilarious and very accessible. Sparkle on ✌️✨️
AW THATS SUPER SWEET OF YOU THANK YOU :D!!!
i'd like to use this opportunity to once again officially announce my sub-hour bounty of a single dollar (1USD) and one corn chip.
oh yeah and good video too ig idk i'm biased tho (i may be obsessed watching streams of this game's speedruns Oops)
LMAO the most valuable bounty of all time
Honey wake up, new emerldd video dropped
HES ALIVE!!!!
NEW EMERLDD VIDD
HI HI HI
You should try and play sonic speed simulator on Roblox it has 14 open world maps
I made a video on that game when it came out but I know it’s waaaaay different now. Might have to give it a try 🤔
@@Emerldddoes he know that the game is gambling and grindy
You saw stelmo speedruning it, and decided to speedrun this game too 😂, all jokes aside, great video ❤
Hell yeah stelmo is a homie! Game is super worth it too I love it! Good luck on the speedrun grind
its that dude from twitch
neet
Hi 😎
I love to speedruning this game but honestly now when I see this video I realize I like to do optimal chaos control paths
One day I'm gonna start a true run I if see it looks fun
Play it would be AWESOME, and now make sense why I finish the game around of 2 hours😅
Now try the real one
Btw
It's more comfortable change the chaos spear button?
I play on switch and I feel more comfortable doing m speed with X button (of switch version)
I def think it’s more comfortable to change the sprear to either a trigger or a bumper so ZL or L that’s what most people do!
Also yeah I think it’s still really fun to do the CC routes but it’s def a different ballgame
I think if you enjoy the CC routes you’ll enjoy any% as well because it’s less specific and ultimately makes you feel fast!
@@Emerldd I enjoy a lot CC but I recently tried a LTA and it's a hole new experience and optimization on how can you perform some tricks and exploit at the maximum capacity the m speed of his own glory
And doing speedruns like this does break my controller? 😅
@ nah it shouldn’t break your controller I don’t think LOL
@@Emerldd xd
I HEARD XENOBLADE MUSIC
Good ears 👀
tldr yeah probably
erm....yeah basically LMAO
nah mans just here to spread his kingdom valley propaganda 💀
(great video as always 🎉🎉)
HELL YEAH THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!!!!!!!!!
That's probably the weirdest haircut I've ever seen
It looks completely fine
Changing the game I guess
