Hey All,
I was just wondering if anyone had an opinions on changing the rules about how runs are timed. Right now it says start on character control, but Floatious found a bit ago that character control actually occurs a few frames before the map/king kong shows up on screen. This occurs during darkness so there isn't really a visual cue other than just backing the video up a few frames.
It might be easier to time runs using the visual cue of the black screen appearing right when start is pressed, especially since milliseconds are so important near the top. Then runs would end on the frame you leave the boss room as it is already.
This would involve going back and retiming everyones runs which I would not mind doing. Just something I kind of thought about since I want to be as accurate as possible. Feel free to offer some other suggestion
