Nice to meet you.

I would like to make a suggestion about the Japanese version of LifeLine (Japanese version: Operator's Side), since there was no Any% category.

There is a person who practiced it, although unofficially, in 2017, and I play Any% copying his way.

As for the Japanese version of Any%, if you watch the predecessor play, the timer starts after pressing Newgame, and the timer stops at the moment when the last save data screen is displayed.

However, this video was not submitted to SRC, but appears to have just been challenged.

I also play according to the rules in the above video.

I posted it here because unlike the international version, the first movie cannot be skipped, there is a language barrier, and many other differences. What do you think?

Hello! I have registered my game system as a Japanese version of SPEEDRUN.COM because some parts of the game system are slightly different from X-Squad's. For example, you cannot choose the difficulty level after starting the game, the number of ammunition for weapons is different, etc. There are differences between the Japanese version and the international version. If and when I ever play X-Squad, I will sign up at "https://www.speedrun.com/xsquad".
