Hello! I was granted moderator status recently, and upon being granted access, I noticed a lot of the runs were inconsistently timed. I wanted to make the timing consistent, as there were no clear rules in the board rules on timing, and at least 3 of the 5 existing runs were all verified with different timings.

I went ahead and retimed every run to fit these guidelines: US TIMING: Time starts when you press "START" on the title screen, as this begins your run. JP TIMING: Time starts after you select your blood type, and on your final menu button press (meaning that after you press that button, if you didn't touch the controller, the game would still start, if that makes sense).

The two are roughly the same timing.

Time stops on the very last hit on Zod; when he begins exploding, your run is completed.

If there's any feedback I'm all ears. This way, the board will have accurate timing for the future across all versions of the game. Thank you.
