Does the timer start once the level loads or when you press X to start?

The timer starts once you enter a (lvl) and press X / Enter to start, regardless if you manage to not do it correctly, me and Justas will retime the run manually.

lvl = the sqauts level for ng+ or the tutorial for any%

Ok, thank you.

Question for this just to clarify, the moment i enter lvl 1 it istn allowed to stop after i beat the lvl to get to the next one?

When does the timer stop? As soon as you hit the buttons to kill the boss or when the cutscene ends? Also is there a "with shortcuts" category?

@Yoke No idea what you mean by that question if you're talking about the timer then no as we are going for RTA

@ThePineapple420 As soon as you hit the two buttons to kill yang as is stated clearly in the rules, that type of category is probarly considered NG+, so far until the 2 week embargo (22nd of Feb) is done, nothing else other than the 3 main ones listed will be considered.
