Please refer to the Verification Guidelines before posting. Verifications are due by March 6, 2015.

Please post your opinions about the run and be certain to conclude your post with a verdict (Accept/Reject). This is not a contest where the majority wins - I will judge each verification on its content. Please keep your verification brief unless you have a good reason otherwise.

After 2 weeks I will read all of the verifications and move this thread to the main verification board and post my verdict.

A/V is good.

There is not much to say about the run itself. The execution is pretty good, especially with the cursor which is pretty slow. RNG is very good, only two things could've went better and that in a RNG heavy game. And naturally there were no messups/deaths.
Now about the game. It's extremely trigger and RNG dependant, with most walkthroughs stating things you dont actually have to do, so i dont feel very confident about discussing the route. More detailed runner notes would've been nice. For example i dont know which is faster scepter or idol, but most of the route is pretty straightforward. He picks up the needed items(scepter, ham, perfume, robe,...(?)) and keys to open the rooms and watches the needed events(deaths and secret prison + crows + demon baby(aka dan)) in a pretty straightforward way and with minimal walking distances. So it seems pretty solid.

I give this a clear Accept , but not in the any% category. We already have a run on the site labeled with "Best Ending H Time",which is much faster, so this should be "Best Ending S".

Want to put it out there that I've beaten this submission and plan on re-submitting once I get some info on how to go about making the files updated. Sorry for taking a while to post this but I wanted to get the files encoded before saying anything.

Please hold off on this verification until the new files are provided. I'll post again when they're ready to go.

The new files are available. Sorry for the delay. There are actually duplicate files in there now (UA may clean these up later), so the only files you need to care about are:

Well execution looks equally good in both videos (can you even make mistakes with that in this game?). Can't comment on other things but if the old one was going to be an accept so is this.

This run is really good. Very minor mistakes and some bad luck with room locations, but that's it.

Accept.
