Since Dugongue refused to post any timing rules, I took the liberty to post a fixed set of rules. That set rules can be seen in my run on this game. Why this?

1) Start on blackscreen because it eliminates the RNG on Mickey's audio.
2) End on animation since that's technically the last input you place, your controller not being functional after that.

Agreed.
Visual cues should be prioritized.

So I'm planning to actually do a run so if timing rules are changed that would be awesome. So can we make it official on first frame of black out?

I would but the existing runs would have to be retimed.
Should I just change the rules now and then work retroactively on retiming the old runs?
I'll go set up the video software I need now in preparation.

OK, I went ahead and changed it.
Thanks for letting me know what software to use.
I will work on this as well.
Just leave a dated comment afterwards to note that you retimed it, I guess.
