I was looking at the vods for Kiettezend and Megami_infini and the end splits are different. One was on start of special while the other was once the special kills. Are we calculating from when we start the special as we know it's a instakill or when the hp actually gets to 0 and the animation changes the Hell's Gate's face? I'm looking at a almost 5 second difference from one to the other.

Technically rules state from last hit so to me that would be on kill but it's a little vague as it says when you loose control which you technically do on a special.

I plan on running this for a while and might be submitting it to a local marathon so clarification on the rules would be nice.
