I have two complaints about this run.
The audio and video quality could be better. The audio is stuttery, and the framerate is slow in spots. Plus the desktop shows at the beginning of the run. May have been a good idea to post a quality test in the tech support forum.
Second, you have an unintentional death at the end of the run which lost a couple seconds. I know it didn't lose too much time, but it's pretty noticeable due to the shortness of the game.
On the plus side, the control is really solid. The runner has clearly practiced a lot, and they use the wall bounces really efficiently. Really the only noticeable mistake is the death at the end.
The run is a second faster than the run currently on the site, but this run uses death abuse, while the other run does not. From that I would have expected more time to be saved over it, but I guess that may have been lost in that unintentional death.
This is a tough decision. Watching you play, I really believe you can get a better run, one without that death. Also I would recommend posting in the tech support forums so you could have a bit of help getting a higher quality recording, because this site's main redeeming feature is how high quality its videos are. I'm not going to outright reject it though, as it is a solid run, so I'm going to have to vote neutral.
I'd love to see you keep trying, and get a run with no unintentional deaths

A/v is alright, although it would be nice if the video had been cropped properly and the desktop wasn't showing at the start. No cheating detected. This run is a 1 second improvement over the current SDA run and has death abuse. It looked to me like there was 2 unintentional deaths, but I can't be sure if the first one at the end of the lava caves was intentional or not. There are also some minor movement mistakes. Overall, the run is pretty good otherwise, but it seems like movement could be optimized a bit, even with the game's floaty controls. I'm willing to give this an accept if something can be done about the video, such as cropping it to just the game.

The desktop is ugly edition/recording.
One bad unintentional death.
Very good gameplay during the rest of the run.
