Quote from RedArremer:
Overall a good run, with some mistakes. There's a few time savers (cleaner fights against Golden Diva and Aerodent, in particular), but in a 45 minute run, it seems like it's negligible.

A/V is good enough. This run is faster than the currently posted run and should therefore be Accepted.
I gotta say, though, it's not the prettiest run. Many levels have obvious movement imperfections, which can be forgiven with how tight this game's execution can get, but it does add up over time. Major scars, though, are the completely botched Aerodent and Diva fights, which by themselves cost over half a minute, and the only half successful Arabian Nights zip. I assume the runner chose to accept these flaws because of the clean execution of the other zips, and he does make those look easy, despite the frame-perfect input requirements and all. It's a shame it couldn't be better.
I haven't seen the new WR, but if it's much cleaner than this run, I hope it'll be submitted eventually.

Gameplay is decent, though not perfect. Small mistakes in general movement.
Main problem though is you can do more zips which all save a more or less amount of time. They're really inconsistent which is why the runner did as few as possible of those, but there are other single segment runners who do more, even if they have to be done first try in order to save any time at all.
The zips the runner did went unlikely good measured at the inconsistency.
Few days after this run was made, becored reclaimed the world record w/ 47:33. More zips, less good zips, far better gameplay, some bigger mistakes.
This run is imo just barely good enough for SDA, so I accept it, but I'd like to see becored's run submitted in order to replace this ASAP.
