Zallard1 here. A/V is good, although I saw some weird pixelation at 2:25, 2:54, 4:37, and 11:56. It might just be my computer failing me or something though, it is very brief. No cheating whatsoever.
I am real glad that the run is being submitted, as it is way more representative of the community that has sprung up for speedrunning this game than my 2009 run.
I won't break this run down in a ton of depth, but just my general thoughts on certain points:
- That Katina mothership quick kill is ultra difficult to do and I have never once been able to skip the cutscene. It is real impressive how Dsx gets the full cutscene skip at about a 50% success rate.
- It is almost baffling how no one found out that half boosting seems so much faster than full boosts, considering Psonar did ALOT of testing with this run. I had pretty much assumed that he must've tested it before, but it seems I was mistaken.
- Bolse started off a little rough, but the 1 pass core kill more than makes up for it.
- The golem kill was pretty nice. It seems if you kill him at the wrong point in his running script, he will continue running while dead until he reaches a certain point, so it's good that he just pretty fell & died immediately in this run. Andross kill was not the fastest, but the hit detection on that robot is dumb. Even my old run had a similar kill.
Overall, run is pretty great. He improves the current SF64 run by over 2 minutes; it is pretty amazing how far things have come in speedrunning.
Accept. I hope to see more.

A/V good, no cheating detected. Very smooth run, nice route and great boss fights, especially the very, very close Katina mothership. I think the Any% is going to have a hard time getting beaten now. Accept!

Audio Quality - Good

Nothing much to say here. Very clean run with several new improvements. I don't expect this to get any lower any time soon.
