My feelings on The Demon Rush
Game Page: Doesn't exist yet
Single-segment 100% run
Verifier Responses
I talked to the runner about the mixed nature of responses:
Decision: Reject
Reason: The runner rejected it himself.
PM me if you want to see the run, I'm keeping it up for about a month.

All synched with no graphical glitches. No cheats either.
The route is optimised to include character switches where it's an advantage, and the abilities of various combinations are used often. The last few bosses perhaps don't go according to plan, but as they're late in a single-segment run they can be let slide. They're compensated for by generally great level runs. It'd take an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game and amazing skill to beat this run, so it's an accept.
PS. On the topic of timing: there might be a problem with the first credits. I don't know if this game does, but a lot of handheld games only show the '[company] of Europe' credits on the European version, making that version's credits slightly longer. I don't know which version this was, but it might be a problem if we're using manual timing. The game clock seems accurate, but that would be complex.

So, we'll start with the standard stuff. No cheating, good video quality. Actually, when was the last time a run was rejected due to video quality? I know I've never done it.
Anyways, though, the quality of the run itself is...a bit questionable. There are a lot of noticeable mistakes, especially the unintentional deaths (though I'm not exactly the best person to be criticizing for that... >_>). Still, flawless execution of the special stages is good, and the run did still show some impressive stuff. Not to mention the rather bad luck factors he mentioned, which always suck in a SS run.
Hmm...I'll give this run a weak accept. I think its merits outweigh its flaws, but I could understand if the other verifiers reject.
Also, that was one hell of a commentary. I think Psonar's still got him beat, but still...

I'll vote "may" to this.
There's a couple of comically bad moments, the most notable of which is a death on the final boss, and the Cyber Track boss taking forever. Also, though it's been a while since I've played, I believe you can save a chunk of time by exiting out of the final boss fight with the quit option after being sent there, but I'm not sure. It may just be me having misread or misremembered something I read a long time ago. There's some other moments worth noting, but I've been experiencing technical difficulties, and just want to get this sent out.

me: oh hey we went over this but I forgot
me: should I accept your sonic advance 3 run?
me: it was accepted
me: but not very strongly
Runner: well I'm still on the fence about it myself
Runner: I'm not very happy with it (the end in particular)
Runner: but on the other hand me improving it in a short space of time is very unlikely
Runner: I think in light of the much improved standards that it should be rejected, to be honest
