Due to inconsistent timing methods being used on the boards, I have gone ahead and updated the rules to include the exact frames to use for timing runs. This is based on authorblues' run, which also seemed to be the most common timing method used by other runners. All runs are being retimed with the new rules in mind. The complete rules are as follows:
Category Rules:
-Player must be set to "Level[1/2/3]" and opponent must be set to "CPU" and "Level[1/2/3]."
Game Rules:
-Timing starts on the first frame that the cursor is visible on the game map.
-Timing ends on the first frame that the screen is completely black after the final battle that results in victory.
-The game must be reset between runs. A visible reset must be included in submitted runs.
-Game video and audio must be clear in submitted runs.
-For emulator runs, please state the name and version of the emulator used. Smartphone emulators are banned.
