I've been setting up an auto-splitter and I would like to know what the exact timing conventions for this game are. At the moment, the rules state:
"Time starts once you select first race, ends after Captain Braddock screen advancing from Bogmire Division A."
However, I've seen people end the timer at different points; during the victory screen, during the ship cut-scene, when the Captain Braddock screen fades out and even when entering the final Braddock screen, in this case leaving out the ship AND ending cut-scene altogether out of the run.
In my opinion, the timing should end when the last input has been made that activates the ending at the very least. That would be the frame that you press the advance button, and the rocket starts moving.
On another note, the timing for the start of the run seems to be very clear. But we have to be precise about this, especially considering how different some submissions are for when the timing has ended.
I was a bit inspired by the speed running communities that made their own Discord. So I made one for Toy Story related stuff.
