If the start of the run can be fast forwarded by holding a button, why does the -5:30 rule exist? O-o
The minus -5:30 rule was set before I was added to the moderation of this leaderboard.
Probably this was set without the fact of pressing the 3 buttons by fast-forward-ing it and most Capcom arcade titles have the chance of doing it (CPS-1-CPS-2-CPS 3).
Officially for me... the start run could be STILL by choosing the character (BUT getting rid of the -5:30 stuff) or the start run could be when you gain control of your character (that is, punching-jumping-firing) but it will require to re-time all runs. So I am down more only for the 1st option.
I am gonna talk/dm the other moderator and MarthSR about the idea of getting rid -5.30 stuff. I will let you know and other runners about it I hope in a short time. Thanks for your question.
Ok... Tetsuya agrees that -5:30 should be discarded from now on, but all runs must be checked and re-timed. Leaving now as official when the character is chosen before the screen goes pitch black.
Soon, we will re-time all runs until the most recent submission.
Update: yesterday I did the re-timing of all runs, in 1P, 2P, and 3P.
All runs that are not available to watch are rejected, but the runner(s) can re-submit the runs in fresh link. Any difficulty category only goes to Very Easy/Easy/Easiest... that is: Easy 1 in the internal dip switches.
I just saw that you added the 5.30 to my run even though it started on the character select screen.
This might have been accidental, but can i have my 5 seconds back? :P
