The "sign here you beat Mania" topic

[SiddtheKidd]

Finished mania again with skate 2 on the SoR1 path... never again. Thought I didn't get the ending, Can't remember but did I have to do it all on one credit? because I had to use a continue on the last level...

You probably ALT + X'd of the game, that automatically disqualifies you from getting it.

ah. yup, rage quit on the boat

You don't get mania ending also if you have some cheat on.
I left uncensored SoR2 Blaze ON, and I couldn't get mania ending till I turned it OFF (although it's just a visual effect).

[Soge-King!]

We beat mania with a friend I played Roo and he played Rudra. (Roo is pretty awesome when you start to master him;) I didn't lose any continue (1 life in the end, phew:D) but my friend lost 1 at the elevator stage. When I try solo with Roo (or any other character, actually) I may lose maybe 2 lives until the last part of stage 6 / beginning of stage 7 where I lose a continue (or continues) almost every time. The difficulty level rises exponentially at this point IMO but with 2 playas it's something you can handle. Especially hordes of ninjas and electras in the robot factory and Abedabe with kickboxers in the elevator is a nightmare

I'm an Axel player, so a lot of enemies had the upper hand on me.

Needless to say I finished it-with no continues left.

First attempt on Mania, first clearance and special ending. Rudra (solo), full SoR1 route, SoR3 ruleset (including timer off) with x5 per continue and playing with a keyboard.

Naturally I chose the best character (no flaws) and the easiest route (no ninjas/ninjos) to start with, but even with 3 cheap life losses (including one to a trolley no less...knocked me over and the screen went past a beef I was saving until I'd pulled as many enemies as I could before eating) I still finished with x3 on the 2nd continue.

First off

I'm very glad to come back here its been way too long since I visited the forum.


My first attempt at Mania I beat it!

CPU Partner on the SOR2 route I used Rudra, CPU used Max, SOR1 Blaze, Max

I had to use a continue at Shiva right before Mr. X

[DarkThief]

Signing again for clearing on all characters:

Rudra - SoR1
Mr.X - Train->SoRR
Shiva - Japanese->Warehouse->Dr.Dahm
Max - SoR2
Skate - SoR2
Elle - SoR3->Nightclub->Vehelits->SoR1
Adam - Japanese->SoRR
Blaze - SoR1->Dr.Dahm
Axel - SoR2->SoR1
Zan - Train->Warehouse->SoR2
Ash - SoRR->Nightclub->SoRR
Roo - SoR3->Nightclub->Vehelits->Dr.Dahm

All were completed on the 2nd continue, except for Elle/Ash (who just missed out) and on the first attempt, except for Roo (who needed a few false starts).

Managed to beat it after two attempts. Completed with two lives left (lives set to 5) on the SoR1 route using Max. Didn't use any continues, but it was the hardest thing I've ever done!

Didn't have any computer/ human partner either, although I set Pause Delay to SoR3. In doing so it makes Max an absolute machine with his combo move. I might try it again using the default setting though.

Oh, and I used an Xbox controller. It feels so much better than the keyboard in my opinion.

[Bash]

Done it. With Adam, btw.. now, I'll train to make it with Ash

I just one-credited Mania with Max. SoR2 route til Vehelits, then the "portable version" tunnel and SoR1 route for levels 4-8. Ended up killing Mr X with 1 life remaining, and gained a 2nd one with the end-level bonus. God, my fingers hurt
