Loading times both into the level and out into the final score screen are wonky and can be longer or shorter depending on the performance of your device.

The WR holders load time into the level is 2.2 seconds and the load time out into the final score screen is 4 seconds flat

In comparison to my PB which has a load in time of 2.9 seconds and a load out time of 4.6 seconds

That's why I believe the timing rules should be changed to only contain the actual gameplay so that performance during load times does not have an affect on the final time. With the rules currently in place someone could have a faster gameplay time but have slower load times making their run not as fast as someone else's only because they have a better performing device. I believe this could make things more fair for people with slower devices such as myself and could make runs more accessible.

I agree with the rule change, will my record stay as is or does this only apply to future records?

I will change all records to fit the new timing rule as I did with the other timing change, and this will of course only apply to records for IL and not full runs of the game.

times have just been changed

In two words this means that time only goes when we see a level only?

pretty much, when the black begins to fade and when he begins the end level pose

How about level selection section?

no, all eliminated. except for actual gameplay

OK got it

Wait, one last thing, it pauses when animation of end pose starts or ends?

starts

That will be hard to see Cuz frames are almost identical at the start but okay

And last last thing, does pause count as in-game time?

pausing in the game will count as in game time

and I've gotten pretty good at seeing when the animation begins

Yeah, I Recorded a speedrun today and now I'm good at it too

Have you fixed your first run?

yes, I have changed every time to match the new timing rules. except for full game runs of course

Wait, so it doesn't affect full runs or I don't get it?

The new timing rule only affects Individual level runs, when it comes to full game runs it will go from beginning to end loading included
