I have a run I need to frame count before submitting and I want to make sure I do it right. Where do we begin the frame count? Is it when the screen goes black, when the playing screen comes up, or during the fuzzy part in between? Thanks!

Hopefully answered my own question. I downloaded the top two Game C 250k runs and frame counted them and it looks like the beginning frame is the earliest possible frame that the title screen starts to get fuzzy on game select. If that's wrong please let me know.

You got it correct
