Pea-shooting madness! My right thumb hurts just from watching.
Accept.

Level 1:
I like how he didn't shoot that one red sniper. Stylish.
Bad luck on the 1st boss, but his button mashing speed makes up for it. However, it's still a second slower than the original low% run, which had an uncooperating boss too.
Level 2:
The original run has a faster boss battle (it could even be still a few seconds faster), but he saves plenty of time getting to that point. So the level ends up being slightly faster, which is nice. His comments say that "a second or two" could still be cut on the boss. Based on my experience, at least 5 seconds is possible.
Level 3:
I like how he absolutely murdered the last tank on the right. Wow. Too bad that speed was wasted when he had to wait for the moving platform.
Level 4:
Very fast overall. Mashing speed could've been faster in spots, but I'm just being nitpicky.
Level 5:
Some unfortunate missteps in the beginning.
Awesome how close he was to dying right after the lake.
And that boss battle! One bullet away! So close!
Level 6:
Not much to say other than f' him and his cooperating boss.
Level 7:
The mashing ... so fast.
Level 8:
Ditto. Perfect boss fight.
Definitely accept. Oh yeah, audio/visual is fine, and he didn't cheat.

Verifier: hey
Verifier: you know that piano fingers technique?
me: uh sort of
Verifier: the one I did
me: I know of it
Verifier: where you use three fingers on one button
me: I don't know the specifics
me: yeah you use three fingers on your right hand
me: to hit one button
Verifier: yeah
Verifier: and one on your left
Verifier: it'd be pretty useful here
Verifier: in the base stages
Verifier: verifier comments:
Verifier: Run is good, but the runner fires excruciatingly slow. Maybe he's a girl or something.

Verifier: Damn. The enemies really wanted to kill Frezy at the end of level seven!
Verifier: If Frezy were any sexier, heterosexuality would not exist, and the human race would perish.
Verifier: Those are my comments for his low% run, by the way.

Contra -
I am not Frezy-Man, although I am trying very hard to be.
Jungle - Can not be faster
Base1 - Awesome boss fight!!!
Waterfall - I won't fault the runner for missing the last rock platform. I can atest that there is something about running with no items that puts that platform out of reach pretty consistently
Base2 - All your base are belong to us
Energy Zone - Absolutely flies through this level, but bad boss luck. But if that's the worst thing to happen, then that is just fine
Hangar - The hand of God is on the runner as he escapes death at the end. You should make an animal sacrifice for that luck.
Alien's Lair - Easy level and made to look so.
Verdict - This run is finger lickin' Frezy-licious.
