disclaimer: i am uninformed and have never even beat one way out, let alone speedrun it; i am uninformed.

currently for full game categories, runs start the frame you load in. i think it would make more sense for runs to start the first frame you move, so you can get energy before the run starts. speedrunning one way out isn't about answering questions fast, so it would only make sense for that to not be a part of speedrunning the game.

i'd love to hear other peoples' opinions on this.

Tbh I agree, I honestly don't know why retro made that the starting frame when the starting frame for Don't Look Down hasn't included answering questions for months now.

@calumm The Top-Down nature of the game makes more sense to simply be when you load in, as opposed to platformer that makes more sence to start at a mark in the map.

The players that have been speedrunning this game before it was added to Speedrun agreed on this starting frame.

I agree with @calumm, idk why it is the frame you load in. It makes more sense to start a run once you move. How fast you can spam shouldn't be a contributing factor in your overall time
