Hello everyone,, I'm excited to start speedrunning, but before I start streaming I want to make sure I don't submit an improper run or anything.

I plan on running a pretty dead game - https://www.speedrun.com/pso_ep3#Dark_Side https://snaptube.cam/ https://9apps.cam/ No rules are defined for either category. The videos that are available for Hero Side seem to go by in game time. I assume this starts when choosing Hero/Dark Side after character creation, and ends after opening the last card pack before the credits. Would this be a safe assumption?

Also while I will be starting from a fresh save, I plan on using a certain bonus card obtained from having a Sonic Heroes save present on the memory card. This shouldn't be a problem correct?

Thanks and good to meet you all!

Welcome to the site!

For your questions - it is more useful to ask game-related stuff in the game forums, or ask the mods directly, because they can help much better than the general community.

Looking on the leaderboard of PSO, there ARE rules defined for all categories for objective and timing. You can also directly message the mods for more explanations, they are not super inactive and have social media links.

I don't have an idea what the Sonic question means, but you can ask in the forums/mods of the relevant game as well.
