Hey I was looking over the speed runs for Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 cause I am looking to start running it soon. I noticed that the rules aren't super clear on when time starts and ends. I noticed that the wr is calling time after the cutscenes at the end of the last mission but the 2nd place run is calling time after defeating Sasuke. I was just wondering if the rules could be more refined.

oh just realized that the second run is incorrectly timed though.

I agree, the timing standard should be set in the rules. Something like "Timing starts when entering Chapter 1 on the chapter select screen. Timing ends when the chapter select screen loads after Chapter 20."

Alright I will be changing the rules to "Time starts when Chapter 1 is selected on the chapter select screen. Time ends when the chapter select screen loads after the ending cutscenes of Chapter 20.". Due to the rules being ambiguous during the time of Kurrigohan's run his time will stay as is.
