Well, I wanted to love this run because save corruption is awesome. However, the yellow run is significantly more broken than this (less WTF, COOL! factor), and this run also does not show off anything the other run does not, aside from walking a rather long way.
Sorry, but I have to vote no.
I loved this. There was easily enough variety to keep me entertained through the entire thing, and the goal choice certainly allowed for a lot of neat tricks, as well as a lot of "narrow misses" for not only deaths but coins, particularly in 8-1.
I voted yes, but I have a feeling this is bound for gruefood delight.
This was fun! As I watched I got more and more overwhelmed with the amount of time it must've taken to optimise this at all. So, serious props there.
Yes.
I'm just going to chime in here for a second and say 'good luck,' I'm REALLY looking forward to this run and checking out your discussion has been enlightening to say the least.
iirc, RBA adds some items but removes others, ie impossible to use in 100%...
I'm pretty sure this has been hashed and rehashed in this thread before, but this argument doesn't work because the trading quest also does this.
For my money, the strongest argument against RBA in 100% is no one would want to watch it. The best reason to do 100% in the first place is to see the TAS player being a complete badass longer, and to see him/her facing more interesting problems.
Catching and releasing bugs does not qualify as "badass"
This game is quite long, and basically consists of running (though badass running, since he's carrying a saber) and boss fights. Still, you made the fights quite entertaining and I enjoyed it. Yes.
WOW. I have been looking forward to this since you announced you were working on it and it definitely does not disappoint. Great run. Very entertaining. Yes!
Serious nostalgia here.
Watching this was really fun, actually. I have no qualms with your end point, as any more would probably become stale quickly.
Yes!

Legendary ronald deck?
Felt entertained all the way through, even though one-shotting everyone does get a bit repetitive and the sound/music doesn't help much. Obviously quite a bit of work has gone into this.
Yes.
Sometimes I have dreams where I'm trying to run from something, and I move a bit like the character in this game.
...that said, this is much improved and the lag was at least consistent enough that it wasn't jarring. I'm voting yes so we can all go home and never speak of this game again.
EDIT: Also, "miserable pile of lag" in the submission text made me laugh out loud.
