A/V Quality - Good
No cheating here.
Excellent run. The only real mistake I saw is Lava Reef 2 where the runner missed the monitor and didn't get into the ground, thus missing the level wrap. Other than that, This run was nothing short of amazing. Launch Base 2 was especially awesome.
Accept, and good luck to the runner on his future endeavors.

A/V excellent, no cheating detected
AI1: A bit of slop here, which surprises me. It's still a good time, but was probably a near-reset.
AI2: Solid.
HC1: Very good stage; even better boss fight.
HC2: I think this is an ideal time (including the death to set up the wrap).
MG: Beautiful stuff.
CN1: Textbook wheel glitch.
CN2: Love this level as it is now with Sonic solo. Very solid level.
IC1: Missed the slope for the wrap on the first try, but that's a very minor time loss.
IC2: Glad I don't have to reject this run because the timer hit 1 second.
LB1: Almost got knocked the wrong way here... almost.
LB2: I think I may need to change my pants now... This level is fucking SICK!
MH1: Third try to get in the wall. Not ideal, but could have been much worse.
MH2: No midair jump, but otherwise very good.
FB1: Walls are just suggestions so they are often ignored in speedruns. The only hope is that you can ignore them as fast as is done here. Love this glitch!
FB2: Pay attention kids, this is how you go fast.
SO1: Missed a couple tight cycles, but that's almost to be expected.
SO2: I can only imagine how it must have felt to lose the lightning shield early here. Fortunately the level wasn't bad otherwise, but that one must sting.
LR1: Stair clip took a few tries and the level as a whole had some slop, but nothing too bad here.
LR2: Missed the wrap, which isn't surprising as Sonic, but still unfortunate.
At least the stair clip/zip and spindash through the barrier were fast, and the rest of the level good.
HP: Solid. Moving on.
SS: Missed the spindash jump off the retracting springboard, but otherwise good.
DE1: Good stage except for losing the shield just before Red Eye, but the fight was pretty good considering the circumstances.
DE2: And the run finishes strong.
There's still a decent amount of time to gain in this run, but improving it will be anything but easy, and not just because of LB2. An excellent run and an easy accept

Quote from CyberBotX:
A/V good, no cheating detected. Even with some of the minor mistakes that came up, this run is really solid. It's a good addition to the site, so I'm giving it an accept.

Run had some rather sloppy mistakes, but I believe these are fully outweighed by the simply amazing moments, not the least of which was LBZ2.
Accept, and I hope someone cuts this time down even further!
