I saw 17:59 on the 100% SS w/ deaths, 13:18 on the Any% SS w/ deaths (making it faster than the currently published run), 14:11 on the Any% SS deathless.
I put an accept on all 3 runs. I am quite impressed by the skips in the deaths runs. Even with the mistakes that the runner made, they are very solid runs. And even if the deathless run isn't as impressive as the Any% deaths run, I am still impressed by the Gravitron run. Very well done, and congrats!

The 100% SS is an amazing run, on par with Tranquilite's segmented aside from the few deaths. Easy accept there.
The any% SS is a great improvement to the existing run utilizing the added suicide button to break the game, skipping the gravitron. Accept for being an optimized improvement.
No Death Mode is hard enough to beat. There's a speedrun of it. The fastest strategies are taken when there is little to no risk to do so and there is very little hesitation. Accept.
Now get on that 100% no death mode

100% with deaths
I've only beaten the game, so I'm not familiar with speedy routes. I'm going to assume that you're taking the best route.
Good use of suicide to save time after secrets.
REALLY good navigation through all of the obstacles.
Very nice use of death on the tower to speed up the scrolling!
Great leading of Vermillion, and nice use of death to lead them faster!
Minor slip on Gordian, doesn't cost much time.
Veni Vidi Vici on first try, no problem.
Another couple of minor deaths near Trench Warfare, small time lost.
Audio and video are fine, going to assume time is ingame time.
ACCEPT 100% run with deaths.
-----------
Any% with deaths:
Again assuming best route is taken.
Great execution on everything up to first rescue!
A couple of double-takes on the screenwrap areas, but those probably cost less than a second combined. Otherwise, solid execution on second rescue.
Once again, great use of deaths to speed up tower. On a side note, I'm still getting shivers from the intensity of the music in this area. Third rescue is still fantastic. Great leading of Vermillion again.
Thankfully you don't have to do that annoying trick in Gordian Knot again since this is any%.:D
Still liking the use of death to skip cutscenes. "Hey, I'm happy that I managed to rescue you and that you're-- Aaah!" Fourth and fifth rescues are great.
I think in outer space you could have saved a couple of seconds by squirming more effectively. (Kidding, of course.)
Not much else to say here. A/V fine, ingame time assumed again.
----------
No death mode. Oh dear.
As noted by the runner, cutscenes are disabled. Anyone that decides to compete (best of luck) with this run should also disable the cutscenes.
Route differences are explained quite clearly in the comments, looking forward to the gravitron! Honestly quite surprised that only one run ended there.And I think to the other verifier that commented on the possibility of a 100% no-death mode run, I don't think that's possible since one of the trinkets requires a death.
Even if this particular run is more of a survival based run than a run that aims for the absolute fastest time, everything's still being executed relatively quickly. In particularly risky areas, the runner uses safer strategies, so obviously this time could be improved. Under the conditions of the run, I'd say this is still rather impressive. Nearly every room has me biting my nails in suspense, even though I know the run is successful.
I nearly had a heart attack at the gravitron.
Audio and video are still good, still no signs of cheating, assuming ingame time.
SS deathless gets an emphatic accept.

For all runs: AV is good, no signs of cheating detected.
Any% No-Death mode (14:11 in game time)
Only 6 tries to get through the gravity line on Three's a Crowd
Slightly faster strat on $eeing Dollar $ign$
A bit of hesitation on V stitch (such a deceptively tricky room)
The first intermission went well aside from all the hesitation on "Don't Be Afraid," you must have lost 4 seconds there. I find that the safest way to get your buddy off the ledge is to rapidly tap the arrow keys.
Always nice to see a deathless gravitron.
The Tower was a bit slow (jk)
Despite those nitpicks, this really is a spectacular run. A definite accept (though there's room for improvement)!
Any% (13:18 in game time)
Ah, it's fun to see just how much the suicide button broke the game. SS1 is almost completely skipped now, and the accursed gravitron is completely bypassed to boot. However, Veridian must have a crush on Violet because he is now sad for the better part of the game.
This time it takes a not-too-shabby three tries to flip through the gravity line in "Three's a Crowd"
A few double takes on the Warp Zone, but these are mere trivialities.
New-and-improved room strat on "Time to get Serious". It requires some fairly precise, but isnt too hard to accomplish with practice.
Nice death abuse in the tower (Shoutouts to Blechy for making some nice screenshots to help with timings).
Nice death abuse on "You're Falling Behind".
No any grav line skips on "Three's Company"?
I must say though, this is an excellent run. Accept.
100% SS (17:59 in game time)
Despite being the only run with unintentional deaths, I must say that this is probably the most impressive of the lot. 100% is not easy to do without making mistakes.
I love how you incorperated the edge glitch in edge games. While it's "not that hard" to do, it just adds to the difficulty of the run and is way impressive.
Hah hah, I love how the screen almost kills you in the Tower when you were getting the 2nd trinket.
First two unintentional deaths in "Gourdian Knot". Hardest screen in the game right there.
Flawless Veni Vidi Vici (easy peasy, right?)
Reverse SS1 was impressive despite deaths on "Stop and Reflect" and "Trench Warfare" (anything to skip the gravitron I guess)
"Just Pick Yourself Down" claims another victim.
See. You died on "Three's Company" because you didnt skip the grav lines
Looks like "The Villi People" got you too
Goooooaaaaaaaaaal! (Accept)

These runs are mad good. I don't even want to think about how long it would have taken to memorise the whole game like this, especially the outside areas without the map and the 'escort mission'. Accept, on all three counts. Hope everyone enjoys watching them 
Quote:
Since everyone else has gone into some depth, I'll keep this simple:
A/V is fine. No cheating etc.
All of these runs are of an extremely high standard, a pleasure to watch and will be excellent additions to grace SDA. Accept on all accounts.
