How is this faster than Shiner's run? Let me count the ways...
- nameless monsters, saving countless frames in combat
- opts for a Stealth round against the first ZOMBIE. This happens about 1 in 10 times from a hard reset, at least when I play.
- Much better GEN-BU fight. No SHELL.
- Higher overall damage output due to 4th character being added sooner.
- Because of a different route, the proper, faster path through the second cave in World 2 can be taken by going left first...but he doesn't go that way? wut?!
- Only 1 MAGICIAN in the 6x "can't run" sequence.
- One less SHRAMP to kill before Sei-Ryu's penthouse.
- Deals with a missed BEAM in a 3 WEREWOLF fight very well, still ends the fight in 1 turn.
- Knows the route well enough to not have to rely on stupid safety net NEEDLEs.
- Only buys two STONE books and skips the REVENGE sword. Less inventory clutter.
- Gets a WARRIOR without having to farm for meat.
- Replaces the squishy BEETLE with a DEMOKING in a single eat, good utility critter. SLEEP is very helpful against those run-killing SORCERERs.
- Skips the HYPER cannon.
- Plays chicken with the Mutant M in the underground train, and wins
- Goes around to the left on 16F after teleporting. :>
- You can walk up the right side to get to AsHURA?!?
- Manipulates a nice series of free escapes for the final ascent.
- Makes use of so many more meat drops. It's a free resource that keeps the rape train rolling.
BUT there are possible improvements:
- when using a SPHERE, you can mash Down+Right alternating to scroll down the menu extra fast.
- CURE book should be moved to the top if it's going to be used a lot.
- The runner is extremely timid with controlling the vehicles, especially the bike...come on, it's not even that fast!
- The GETA shoe, ROD and SUIT can almost certainly be skipped. Defense is not an issue when running this game. If you're scared of people dying, just keep them in the back. If you KNOW someone will die, make a note of it, then equip your Mutants with healing items and heal them in battle.
- DINOSAUR is vulnerable to WARRIOR SAW. Why wasn't it used at 45:05?
- The runner forgets to walk into elevator exits early when going down in Skyscraper.
Good visual, good audio, good legit play. Accept it!

Audio/video quality is fine. Not much else to add to the other verifiers' comments - runner had excellent knowledge of the maps & monster growth progressions, excellent menu control, and used the saw glitch to its full potential.
I vote to accept.

Watched it last night. Overall impressive. Good audio and video with no cheating detected, just lots of RNG manipulation. I wish the bike was handled a little more smoothly though; seems he stops short nearly every time. Another SS RPG!
Oh yeah, accept!
Oh yeah, accept!

Video/audio are fine, verifier #1 covered all the points better than I could. I can't imagine how many attempts it took to score this kind of manipulation for a SS run (well, I guess I could just read the submission notes to get an idea). Splosion Man would be so happy with all the meat!
Easy accept.
