Professional Second Banana

Audio/video quality look great (could maybe trim off the 1st 54 seconds of the video since it lingers on the title screen for a while before the actual run starts, but it's not a huge deal).

Very well executed run of MGS3 (a game near and dear to my heart since it was from a MGS3 FAQ that I first discovered SDA) on its highest difficulty that looks to be the current WR. It might be worth SDA staff doing a loadless comparison since this run uses an SSD, but since the runner has also achieved a 1:18 with standard PS3 HDD, I have no doubt that this submission is an improvement over the current site run.

Easy accept.

A/V is good. No cheating detected.

I watched the current run and this one back to back. The Fury fight and cell escape are definitely faster here. Those are the two that stick out though there's probably more. I'm not sure if the in game timer counts loads or not but regardless, this run is faster. It appears to no longer be the WR according to the leaderboard but that run gets Pigeon rank instead of Foxhound so it's not comparable for our purposes. Definite accept to replace the current run.
