Happy 15th Anniversary! #sonicrivals2

Some trivia on my experience to get to this/these videos:
In 2007/2008 ish, I completed Sonic Rivals 1, getting ALL outfits and cards, having an absolute blast playing the game, unlocking the abilities to change the character themes in the title screen.
When I eventually completed as much as I could in single player for this game, it somewhat did bug me, similarly to how you'd need XBL/PSN to get the last few achievements/trophies. I did manage to connect to multiplayer for this once or twice in the past, which thankfully allowed me to get the Omega Card (Win 5 Multiplayer Battles).
Eventually, when I got a second PSP/SR2, I tried to set this video up on my I-Pad, recording either battle/race or two, only to find that the cup(s) would crash upon loading. I have no idea what happened to this video, but I assume I lost it when I thought I'd backed all my photos/videos up from the I-Pad when I decided to format it to free up its space that was dangerously low on. Thankfully I was able to salvage the second video I did on the I-Pad (the one that made it into the first part of this video), but because I lost the first video, because it was an absolute nightmare getting the almost-hour video off the I-Pad, and because I couldn't connect the capture card for the PSP, AND because cups weren't working, it was very hard to get motivated to return the video project I started.
But eventually a little over a year later, I returned to finish the playthrough, completing at the bare minimum, all the 06 cards, I was just very fortunate that the cups decided to work on this returning playthrough. (apologies for the audio quality, I did try to isolate my voice, but it didn't seem to help much.)
3 Years Later, I only had about 48 minutes of the video edited from the I-Pad video, still needing to get the videos I recorded a few years ago off the I-Phone. I wanted to get this out on November 13th in respect to its first and main 15th Anniversary date, but because I left it so late, and looked at the anniversary date a few days after then, disappointed, I stopped being slack and grabbed all the videos and went full throttle on the video editing to get it done and have it ready by today.
It's not perfect, but I'm glad to have shared my experience, good and bad with returning to the game, relearning things, reaffirming that I can't commentate and read hoping to remember the objective lol, remembering to cover all the outfits that I unlocked in this experience, even at the expense of doing a tournament cup again when I had already won the card for it, and of course, in general, completing the game for the first time, about 10 or 11 years after completing Rivals 1!
