My feelings on The Demon Rush
Game Page: Doesn't exist yet, but it should.
Daniel 'Kareshi' Brown's run
Decision: Accept
Reason: A straightforward run with very few mistakes.
Good thing we have verifiers like the second one, unlike the other two knuckleheads.
Kareshi: I just put your tape in the mailbox today. You need to send me comments (if you sent them, I don't have them).

Verifier: this run was incredibly well thought out and also very well executed
Verifier: the only real rough stretch was near the end of stage 5
Verifier: other than that, it was great quality as expected
Verifier: ps why didn't you record the ending, it's hilarious (he did, I guess nate cut it)
Verifier: pps your dance along with the dancing zombies was hawt

No cheating that I can see.
No deaths.
Audio and video are okay.
Level 1...
At first I wasn't sure why the runner killed the first pair of legs at the beginning. Then after I did a few tests, it seemed like the third pair of legs that drops his first pill doesn't turn up without killing that first pair for some reason. I assume that's his explanation. Otherwise that part doesn't look right to me.
Level 2...
Nice job beating up the fried foods.
Level 3...
He showed good forethought in killing the cow boss near the exit, as well as a few others later I think.
Level 4...
This is probably the worst level. It doesn't have any major mistakes, just a little less smoothness than some of the others. It amounts for a loss of 5-10 seconds total maybe.
Level 5...
The most aesthetically unpleasant mistake is here, when he falls in the water. It's only a loss of 1 or 2 seconds though.
Level 6...
I've never memorized the maze in this level so I can't say whether the route is optimal. It all looks the same to me. It seems fast enough though, with no major backtracking that I can detect.
Level 7...
One of the best looking levels. Royce is easily turned into, uh.......bird food?
Level 8...
Also one of the better levels. The bosses are all beaten easily, thanks to some optimization of Bert's laser.
Here's some overall thoughts. This is some absurd nitpicking, but he could be inching forward whenever he needs to duck. The crawl/floorhump move is really slow though, so he only loses fractions of seconds doing that. The bosses seem slightly random at times, and that will never completely go your way.
Some people might think he kills some monsters unnecessarily. I thought so at first, but after watching it several times, I decided he kills almost as few as he can. You simply need a certain amount of energy for fighting bosses, as they are inevitably going to hit you a few times. As far as character selection goes, it's beyond me. You probably lose about 6-7 seconds every time you transform. There are parts where Bert might be faster, but not fast enough when you have to sit through that changing animation. You have to be careful with that. If there's a faster tactic there, I don't know of it.
So it's not completely flawless. However, it is an entertaining run and probably won't be beaten soon. It's easily the level of quality I'm used to on this site. In my opinion it should be accepted.

This run was awesome, the only really obvious mistake was getting stuck on a platform in stage 5, though I'm sure the runner felt worse about that than I did.
