Must’ve played through sonic adventure 2 over 100 times now always wondered why I couldn’t ace this mission I felt nostalgic today and decided to come back to this game and finally got an A on metal harbor thanks to your video I think the trick was the extra military bots near the countdown missile all them years I played this game and never noticed them until now
You saved me an eternity of bitching and getting pissed off then trying again. That bar on the missile is hard to get on time. Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!!!
That level is so hard to A-Rank, I just managed it 10mins ago after about 40 tries. On the plus side, I was only 1020 points worse. Awsome run DarkspinesSonic
@SuperAwesomeTiago I was referring to the gameplay with style part, not the speed running. Even so, Sonic games and speed runs go well with each other.
wow, that was fast. You almost didn't make it to the rocket when you decided to destroy those enemies. I never knew they were even there. I had to destroy the planes by jumping at the right time.
same here, i always got the same B and the max B ever and im like "what does it take to get an A" i was missing some stuff u showed there especially the rocket part, ur were awesome!!!
Pretty good run, but there are some things I do differently when trying to A this mission: -I don't use the bounce attack at the beginning, takes too much time. -Instead of attacking the line of beetles at the runway, I kill two planes, which nets 1000 points. -Don't use spin dash, I think it actually slowed you down a bit. -Grind the left rail off that one later jump, that gives 500 points and it is only slightly slower. I beat it with a time around 1:50 and a score of 21880.
never knew about that 2nd handle on the rocket i still got an A Rank by making sure to destroy 2 planes at 0:35 part in addition to everything else you normally have to do to get an A
That's exactly what I do on that stage now! Only differences: -I do the rocket part the hard way (I do what you did minus hitting the spring). -I never get all the rings in the boarding area in one run (I usually to have to go back because I missed a capsule. All you missed was a ring.)
The ways to get A rank: Sonic & Shadow = Get lots of rings, beat lots of enemies and be fast. Eggman & Tails = Get lots of rings, be fast and get high combos. Knuckles and Rouge = Get lots of rings, beat lots of enemies, be fast and use NO hints.
@SuperAwesomeTiago Definitely give it a shot. Minimizing the time it takes for you to cross a goal in the classic games is more of a creative style of play than it is an 'intended' style of play like the modern Sonic games. My record in the first act of Emerald Hill on Sonic 2 is 27 seconds. The fastest time you can get on that zone and act is 24 seconds. That, or 23.
The originals were on Dreamcast a realy old game console by Sega and barely anyone ons one anymore. Sonic adventure 2 battle and Sonic adventure DX are on new consoles like Nintendo Game cube. P.S. that Chao garden ting doesn't work but when u get all A ranks u unlock alternate costumes and the action stage: Green hill zone like the old one from Sega exept it's 3D!
@fergal5963 Mine's white, but you can tell it's a third party controller cause there's no Nintendo on the controller, and my friend has other coloured gamecube controllers. And I'm pretty sure they're not third party controllers.
Why am i the only one who seems to knw that at 1:12 if you do a big jump and land on the left side of the rails you will get an tight=800...it's not that much but in all the videos that i've of this level, it seems that everyone just disses that part...i think...
John Taylor hello there, 10 years later i came back here for my A-rank push and saw your comment. I did that too on my first try to get A-rank !! But unfortunately i didnt have enough points(19.5k) because i didnt know about the rocket secret !! ._. Have a nice day!
@@tetrasonic91 After all those years... I finally have the answer... Thank you. Seriously though it's always fun to see my old comments get responses. By now I already own SA2 (remake via PC and Xbox) and have seen this happen myself when trying the top route, that one sure is satisfying to reach in time though. =)
@fergal5963 lol to get every ring I need to get the second missle. Not helpful. XD Especially since I have a crap third party controller so I don't have as smooth gameplay as my other console's controllers.
ranks are calculated with your total score. speed, score, and rings affect the total score. in metal Harbor, the total needs to be at least 20000. in city escape it's 18000 and 19000 in the dreamcast version iirc
1:02 wait wait wait....what?.....ha....hahahaha are you FUCKING SERIOUS!!!!? THERE IS ONE FREAKIN SINGLE RING THERE???? 10 YEARS OF TRYING TO GET A A RANK BUT IT KEEPS COMING UP B!!! IF I HAD ALL RINGS I WOULD HAVE GOT A A RANK ON THE SPOT AND THERE IS 174 RINGS BUT IM ALWAYS ONE SHORT!!!! NOW YOU TELL ME ITS RIGHT THERE.....SEGA... THAT EMINEM AND RIHANNA SONG MY SONG TO YOU!!.... thankz darkspine you help a lot of us out XD
I remember taking forever to get an A on this stage. XD Good job, I didn't even know about that little rocket shortcut near the end.
Bruh 15 years before i was even born and this comment has never been replied too
I remember doing the best I could, but still getting a C. I was asking "What do you want from me, Sonic?"
So thanks.
So everything must die, get all the rings, and get to the top of the rocket.
1:02
...and here i thought the game was broken because i couldnt find that 1 single ring...10 years.... my god
I just did this level and it took me 8-9 tries to get A. If you don't catch that rocket, you can kiss that A goodbye.

@samusaran252 Generations have 2.
The Balloon and Vector Challenge In Spagonia (Rooftop Run).
Sorry for the bad english.

Who is watching this 16 years later and saying ''This is nostalgic"
Thanks for uploading my request! Now I no a shortcut for that stupid rocket!
I did not know that there were those enemies at the first spring to the rocket... Thanks for helping me out with the A rank!
Was having trouble getting to the top of the missile in time, forgot to do the spindash to get to the spring.
wow, that was fast. You almost didn't make it to the rocket when you decided to destroy those enemies. I never knew they were even there. I had to destroy the planes by jumping at the right time.
I was sooooo fucking happy the day I finally got an A-rank on this damn stage. Hard as SHIT.
Nice! You got all the rings in the level! :)
that bit with the count down i could never get up top. furthest was the light speed dash then boom dead.
same here, i always got the same B and the max B ever and im like "what does it take to get an A" i was missing some stuff u showed there especially the rocket part, ur were awesome!!!
@maxerAA I agree. It's as hard as fuck to get that A Rank but this guy here helped us out on that. This guy has serious skills at this game.
Thanks to you I managed to get an A. I also did it with 166 coins so you don't need all of them, which is great for me haha.
I think it is a difficult mission to A rank since it requires a nearly perfect run.
Pretty good run, but there are some things I do differently when trying to A this mission:
-I don't use the bounce attack at the beginning, takes too much time.
-Instead of attacking the line of beetles at the runway, I kill two planes, which nets 1000 points.

Im thinking of buying this on Steam, looks awesome. I grew up in the 90s, and never got into sonic, but this looks fine.
Flawless :). Dude... thats like monster!
thx dude i was always trying to find out how to get those rings by the rocket
Thanks so much this helped me get my a rank :) The 100g gamerscore achievment was a bitch
almost missed the rocket launch.. but you did pretty awesome!
No it isn't necessary at all. All you really need to do is get a high enough score. Reaching the top of the rocket helps.
Finally somebody that uses the bouncing stragegy.
Nave you ever tried hitting the planes in this level? It's possible to hit them, you just need to time it just right.
The ways to get A rank:
Sonic & Shadow = Get lots of rings, beat lots of enemies and be fast.
Eggman & Tails = Get lots of rings, be fast and get high combos.
Knuckles and Rouge = Get lots of rings, beat lots of enemies, be fast and use NO hints.

@fergal5963 Nah the controller shape is fine, the controller isn't made well that's all. The analog stick is screwed and isn't used smoothly.
The originals were on Dreamcast a realy old game console by Sega and barely anyone ons one anymore. Sonic adventure 2 battle and Sonic adventure DX are on new consoles like Nintendo Game cube. P.S. that Chao garden ting doesn't work but when u get all A ranks u unlock alternate costumes and the action stage: Green hill zone like the old one from Sega exept it's 3D!
Truly the best game of all time!
How did u get get that white glowing orbs coming to u wen u held b?
I cant ever get up to the higher handle on the rocket. I guess i'm just not fast enough.
I uses to ranked all A's on others sonic stages with ease but this stage was the most challenging for me to get a A rank, I always get rank C.
I cannot get on the second jump ting to get on the missile, I think I've broken my controller trying, it's making want to rip my hair out >.>
Good run
If you do get all the rings, you get an automatic A, though.
@fergal5963 Mine's white, but you can tell it's a third party controller cause there's no Nintendo on the controller, and my friend has other coloured gamecube controllers. And I'm pretty sure they're not third party controllers.
Yeah once I learned about the extreme at the end I cant get anything but an A...Once you learn it getting an A on every level (1-5 here) is easy.
If you collect all of the rings in a level, you automatically get an A-rank.
how do u get ancient light
At 1:34 I NEVER knew that was there. All this time I thought but getting under 1:30 would get me an A but damnit...
And you got every ring too. i could get all the rings but probably not get an A rank at the same time.
Can you get the phoenix in the secret area?
Why am i the only one who seems to knw that at 1:12 if you do a big jump and land on the left side of the rails you will get an tight=800...it's not that much but in all the videos that i've of this level, it seems that everyone just disses that part...i think...
John Taylor hello there, 10 years later i came back here for my A-rank push and saw your comment.
I did that too on my first try to get A-rank !! But unfortunately i didnt have enough points(19.5k) because i didnt know about the rocket secret !! ._.
Have a nice day!
wow i could only ever get D rank on this level. makes me want to play again ;)
Hey at least you got a B rank. Everytime I play this level I only ever get an E rank. But at least now I know what to do to fix that.
@Clawd87 That's pretty much what sonic's all about.
@PrincessElise320 mine is the pearl coloured remote (the only colour available for the remote) but urs mite be different lol
my favorite stage
Oh really?? So if searching for all ring take more than 3 minutes on metal harbor I'll get A rank??
i needed to spent 35 lifes to get that last part with the rocket...motherfucking hard
how did you get over 92,000 rings any cheats or did you just not spend any i think its cool you have that many
You got 20000 and all the rings, Has dr.hax visited your house lately?
I'm playing this on PS3 and I could never get an A-Rank I always got a B. Thanks for helping!
What happens if you reach the rocket too late?
well,
FIRE.
NOOOOOOOoooooo
@@tetrasonic91 After all those years... I finally have the answer... Thank you.

@@SEGAsonicstuff yeah, no problem.
FIRE
Sonic : NOOOOOOOO
lol couldnt find the last ring at the top of building....
But having all rings = instant A rank...
he justed bouced and and went up
It came out on PS3 a few days ago.
PERCEFT RING! i never colect them all just like free style
cool dude thanks
i got a b rank yesterday. had the game for 8 years and this is the highest i ggot
That's why I always missed one ring when doing this! @ 1:00 he bounces on top of that thing. shucks
you automatically get an A if you get all the rings
It was the only way I could get an A on this level
@PrincessElise320 patience friend, u could be xtremely quick or get every coin in the level either way you will get a A rank ;)
Actually, I think it is difficult to A rank this mission since it requires a perfect run.
correction. 1min. 50sec. and it wasn't 21.4k it was 21140 :/
i do it a different way i dont need to get all the rings but nice vid ^_^
To get an A rank do you need to collect EVERY ring in the stage?
@fergal5963 lol to get every ring I need to get the second missle. Not helpful. XD Especially since I have a crap third party controller so I don't have as smooth gameplay as my other console's controllers.
Needs more jpeg
finally i got A rank in this level
@PrincessElise320 lol okayz
@ASPERGER0584 first sonic adventure was dreamcast
i know right....it seems so slow.
@PrincessElise320 i use a 3rd party control but i hav long fingers :) sooo em, get a regular controler or just giv up lol
I always got a D on this level no matter how perfect I ran it
is time a factor for a ranks? i notice you went pretty slow
ranks are calculated with your total score. speed, score, and rings affect the total score. in metal Harbor, the total needs to be at least 20000. in city escape it's 18000 and 19000 in the dreamcast version iirc
I thought getting all the rings got you an S rank or something.
fuck all rings i never seen it b4 you sir are a god
1:02 wait wait wait....what?.....ha....hahahaha are you FUCKING SERIOUS!!!!? THERE IS ONE FREAKIN SINGLE RING THERE???? 10 YEARS OF TRYING TO GET A A RANK BUT IT KEEPS COMING UP B!!! IF I HAD ALL RINGS I WOULD HAVE GOT A A RANK ON THE SPOT AND THERE IS 174 RINGS BUT IM ALWAYS ONE SHORT!!!! NOW YOU TELL ME ITS RIGHT THERE.....SEGA... THAT EMINEM AND RIHANNA SONG MY SONG TO YOU!!.... thankz darkspine you help a lot of us out XD
so i already got an A on this
There are no S ranks in Sonic Adventure 2. The highest rank is A here.
you don't need to get the 174th ring to A rank it though... I A-Ranked it with 173 Rings, 1:55, and 21.4k score
I fucking love you
Really? I never even knew that and I wasted my time getting all emblems on this game lmao.
Oh that's bull shit there's a single ring on top of the roof at 1:02. XD
@Herochanluver i always get a b o_o
look just try to kill as many enemies as possible and collect lots of rings
*know*
dear god.. ô.ô
u play just like me, we got same time lol
How do you rip shit off of tv shows and video games without recording it with a camera dont call me stupid either i herd it was somethin like firewire
