Metroid Prime (Low %) (Single Segment)
Verifier Responses
Quote from Miles:
Rejecting because this isn't a speedrun.
21% Single Segment is obscenely difficult, and it's incredible to pull it off at all. However, it doesn't aim for speed, only for survival, which is against the purpose of the site.

Quote from Paraxade:
I'm not going to watch this run because it's plainly apparent from the final time of 6:30 that it's completely unacceptable. There is absolutely no reason for any Metroid Prime speedrun to be anywhere near this long. Even taking 21% route differences into account and adding some allowances for mistakes, that final time is still far slower than it should be by a margin of hours.
The runner's mindset from his comments seems to be that just completing the run at all means it's acceptable. While it's true that this is an extraordinarily difficult category and simply completing it is an accomplishment in itself, that doesn't mean it qualifies as a good speedrun. I believe a margin for errors should be allowed for this category, but a time like this exceeds the threshold of what should be accepted by far too much.
