Please refer to the Verification Guidelines before posting. Verifications are due by Aug. 21, 2014.

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.

why is it segmented when it is in a single video file? are edited together?
A/V: good
cheating: none
ok I have no clue what is going since there is no runner's comment. all I see is glitches and wall clipping. thankfully there is the other run with major glitch skips which has a runner comments so that helps explain a bit in comparison. seems the skips were well executed with no delay. Accept.

Not a walrus

It's not uncommon for segmented runs to be edited together into a single video, so as long as there's no discrepancies then it's fine.

A/V: good
The run seems to use two new glitches. An item duplication glitch and a out of range pickup glitch which gives an enormous speedboost to the player. These are used to cut out even more parts of the game than before and change the beginning route completely. Since I couldnt find a video or description of these anywhere i would really like the runner to comment these. Undecided

The order of events matches the one in the runs on the site so no discrepancies there.
The only discrepancy I could see was That the runner killed the fat bat boss(Queen Shilla??) in a single arrow shot even though the prior runner states that it "takes randomly between 3-8 hits". A runner comment about this would be nice as well.
Well, about the gameplay i cant say much. The route looks solid and well executed, only at the new dragon wall clip at the end he looses .5s and he duplicates one item less than he should midrun otherwise its a great run and way faster than the SS on the site.
Since i cant test any of the things mentioned above(i dont have the game, nor have ever played it) i would really love a reply of the runner, but since that cant be expected I'll hesitatingly accept this run for now.
