Ran another Sonic VS speedrun, this one came down to the wire! I'm on the right, playing as Tails Alone with the stated goal of collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds, with C/J on the left playing as Sonic Alone.

In Hill Top Zone there is a decent amount of video corruption due to errors recording on a real old, beat-up laptop that we transitioned away from last year to prevent similar issues (C/J was recorded simultaneously on our current rig).

I reconstructed the pieces as best I could by fixing the broken audio first, then aligning the video based on a combination of frame-counting for timer second increases as well as synching with sound effects.

Obviously it's not perfect, but hopefully between the reconstruction attempt and the live commentary still going alongside it this should still be acceptable.

Mod Note: is the raw unedited video file used to verify the run. I added 14 seconds for the known special stage timer inaccuracy.
