Straight run, or can you reload??

You can save and reload during the run but it must be done in 1 sitting, with real time. If you do it in multiple sittings then it is considered Segmented which I would not mind adding as a category.

Ok so i was thinking of segmented asia n europe for 100%...but would i go about the timer and two separate videos, are the times just added together?

Yeah pretty much. You would time each of your Segments then add them together for the final time.

Alright ive been routing, Asia...pretty much same as any% just get all 8 of lottery memebers...after getting minds eye just run the "dungeon," bout 10-20mins with boss at end *make sure you have Leon bears on. I did Pit fights, after Kowloon, they are simple low lvl enemies, no round should need be more that 3 or 4 turns, i equipped rosewood/minds eye/flash badge (some enemies can paralysis) Yamaraja: Wind is one of rounds but he takes physical damage, so no worries.

Working on Europe atm...
