Please refer to the Verification Guidelines before posting. Verifications are due by June 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.

I watched this run without having played the game (still haven't) and without checking any resources or anything. It reminded me both of Ninja Gaiden 3 and Strider, so pretty cool game. Anyways, the strats looked sound overall (but of course not all were verifiable without knowing more about the game). The gameplay was pretty good, but I got the feeling that there was room to tighten it up. Nothing too major, just small mistakes adding up. After having watched the video, I found out that the runner had improved the time by 20 sec. I think the run is acceptable as is, but hope the runner decides to submit the improvement instead.

Accept (but I would prefer to see the runner's improved run submitted instead...)

This looks nice and pro all through really.

13:21 - The screen kinda hops a little here. Also happens in another speedrun I checked so it's cool.

Accept

hi i herd dis were WR happens yes

First things first: A/V is great. No cheating seen.

Solid run, only minor mistakes at some points in the game, mostly in the later stages. Nice strats overall, runner shows he knows where and when enemies will spawn, and gets quick kills on (mini)bosses. Will look into this particular game some more in case the improved run (mentioned above) is submitted Wink

Definitely accept.
