This is about the run in the "Extreme"-category.
There's no onscreen timer. The game is frequently paused, but not as a strat, but because the runner is audibly distracted by other stuff and this is happening right from the beginning and goes on for the entire 45 minutes I spent watching this run. At around the 40:35 mark, he starts explaining a menu item to a viewer of his stream. There is so much time wasted here on non-game related things that this can only be considered to be a training session at best. How did such a poor recording get verified in the first place? If this is really up to the standards of this site, then I'd be interested in hearing the reasoning for the decision.
And don't get me wrong: I'm happy that someone is tackling the category and I'm looking forward to see a run for that, but one that deserves to be called speedrun.
Locking this thread. None of the issues this user has described in this post are relevant. However, the run does appear to be timed incorrectly, so the moderators should definitely look into that and re-time the run.
