You just have to quickly press down, than right. It's more simple than you think it is. Sonic uses the rush physics in s4e1, not the pinball physics from the classics.

Demonstration.

sonic rush: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCGiEInc ... d#t=00m50s



Now watch this video of a guy who's trying to play the game, genesis style and look what happens.

Props that he's still positive while those things occur but it's not really a big deal when you adept to s4e1's mechanics, I think.

Quote from: "CrazyTails"
You only keep going when you keep pressing down the direction button, even when rolling.

The reason why it looks like there is momentum, is because the game forces to keep pressing left/right when spinning.

Are you saying it's similar to jumping in this game? (Like if you let go of the D-pad, Sonic stops in mid-air.) Which would mean that if you let go of right/left on the D-Pad, Sonic's rolling decelerates rapidly?

Yeah, unless there are speed boosters or keep holding the direction buttons.

Sorry for double posting, but there's a new clear video of the new build.

It's Casino street act 2, and it has SUPER SONIC.

The music is great for a jingle. But for a full back track for Super Sonic something more rocking hardcore would be fun..

What did you expect? Nearly all of the music in this game is awful.

I'd say it's pretty half and half to be honest.

With the Casino zone being the worst.

So I was just testing out this rolling thing in Sonic Rush, and yeah, CrazyTails is right. If you want to speed-up while rolling in Rush (and Sonic 4), you MUST hold down right or left while rolling. If you don't, Sonic just rolls slowly.

I tested it on a hill, and Sonic was able to go faster down the hill by rolling instead of running. But ONLY if I was holding right on the D-pad.

I also tested on flat horizontal surfaces. Rolling worked as it should if you hold down right/left on the D-pad.

Well at least it's in the game. But still, it's pretty annoying.  :| What's with all this weird momentum-losing stuff??

 Nope. The boss theme and bonus stage are the worst.

 Just call BO back to do the sounds! Dumb Sega...

I like the Lost Labyrinth and Mad Gear themes, but yea. The rest is pretty much crap. Jun Sunoe composes pretty forgettable music and hard to forget butt rock.

Jun Senoue usually composes good to great music. I was expecting the soundtrack to be the best part of the game.

I just played the iPhone version today and what the fuck are you talking about. The spindash works normal. You press down, Sonic spindashes. If you're in a straight, he slows down like he did on Sonic 1. And when you're going down, he speeds up like he did on Sonic 1. What's with this pressing right thing?

Yeah I played the game too today. He doesn't "speed up" when going down a slope without pressing the d-pad.

Let's not argue any further. Since you have gotten the game, it would be nice if you shared your thoughts with us :D. I will too after I play more of it. My brother just got the game for his Iphone and it was better than I thought.

Pressing right makes Sonic speed-up while rolling down hills as he should. If you don't press right, Sonic rolls down hills at the same speed as running down hills.

I don't have it, I have an Android lol I just borrowed from a friend lol

But I tried to test this exact issue and couldn't quite understand..

"Pressing right makes Sonic speed-up while rolling down hills as he should. If you don't press right, Sonic rolls down hills at the same speed as running down hills."
I see.. But just pressing down made him speed up as well I think..

It was a brief experience.. I'll try it out best when I buy it Wednesday. At 3.30PM
