Hello, thank you for your interest and question.

Is it still need timing while I wait other player finish

Yes, you have to continue the timer while waiting, because it could be a break time. However, I added a new variable named "Downtime (mm:ss)" to specify the length for which you cannot play the game due to external factors. If you want, please add a new value and fill out the time.

Or there are reason for banning DUO MODE.

There are mainly 2 benefits of DUO MODE.

1. It is easier to access EXTRA STAGE than SOLO MODE. This will reduce the frequency of the login process and make the time shorter.
2. Some secret songs could be picked early by playing with the player who unlocked them.

The second one could be avoided if both players ran the speedrun with fresh cards. This has the potential to become a new category, but I have no plan to cover this for now as it is a rare case.

I hope these answer your question.

Mod Message: Time starts at 614.533 and ends at 4528.933 at 30 fps to get a final time of 1h 05m 14s 400ms. Retimed using yt-frame-timer

On July 16, 2021, the subtractive time is revised from 1.87(112/60) to 1.31 (79/60) seconds. To move faster, you must mash the cursor key after the alert. Not hold.

This time I tweak 2 rules about the timing.

1. The timing of timer start New: Timing starts when the screen of the first mission appears. Old: Timing starts when you select the first mission. By this change, the loading time of the first mission is excluded from the measuring section. The new start timing is 0.43 (26/60) seconds after you press the O button on the mission checking screen.

2. Added "Alert Cut" value Yuk1_1206S's run and gahou's run show that the "新しいミッションを解除できます！ (You can unlock a new mission.)" alert does not appear under the certain condition, and I confirmed this can save at least 1.31 (79/60) seconds. (On July 16, 2021, the subtractive time is revised from 1.87(112/60) to 1.31 (79/60) seconds.) From now you can indicate that you have seen the alert or not with the "Alert Cut" value.

• Select "No" if you did not cut the alert and saw it. If so, the Real time can be subtracted by 1.31 (79/60) seconds.
• Select "Yes" if you cut the alert.

Thanks for participating!
