What's that gemma?
I've played this game casually, and I've enjoyed watching the game with commentary at a few speedrun marathons.

A/V is beautiful.  No cheating detected.


I watched this run side-by-side with the current SDA run, occasionally pausing to let the incumbent catch up.

Compared to the incumbent run, this uses slightly better routing (including a few new significant skips), and consistently has better or equal execution.  Better RNG versus the final Snot bungee battle is another big time gain.

I'd also like to give a shoutout to the runner providing detailed documentation for the viewers in both written and audio form.

Anyway, this is an easy ACCEPT.

This one's a pretty easy accept from me too. Very little in the way of execution errors, lots of difficult tricks (including turning For Pete's Sake from an escort mission into a pure platforming stage!) and clean fights all round.

A/V: Good
Cheating:None
Game-play: Very good, some slow downs but nothing worth crying over, new strats = yum!

ACCEPT
A/V: good
cheating: none
its good to have audio commentary with videos saves the trouble of reading then watching the video and going back again. faster than the incumbent run. great escort mission skip. game play is smooth sailing. clearly an Accept
I knew I was in for a treat with this run and it didn't disappoint. EWJ speedrunning has come really far from the first discussions a few years ago on the forum, via the current run on the site and now this. There are lots of skips, clever strategies and, not the least, tight gameplay throughout. The comments explain that there is still a bit of time that could come off, but so many things need to go right to get times this low. Overall, an excellent run, accompanied by excellent audio commentary that explains many of the finer details.
