If the method of timing is changed to what I think is best the #1 spot would be timed as 3m 42s
Current WR at the time of this post is 3m 48s. The timer starts a few seconds after new game is selected and ends when the game title pops up right before the credits. Just so there is no confusion could we have more accurately timed runs and say that timer starts as soon as you click new game here: https://gyazo.com/b1a3f979a46b97f557ca923209d62a25 https://gyazo.com/3000f6da3a82906060ddecf3aa418ce1
and timer stops once the screen is entirely black here: https://gyazo.com/0905fdf0d0f93713f914757f46ab2c9b
Just a suggestion to the mod so we don't have have a discrepancy between verified runs :D
I don't know if you can really call this a "skip" sure I guess technically you're skipping all the other missions but often a skip in speedruning has something to do with a sequence break or something. You are literally just loading the campaign from the last mission. Why isn't that just an IL?
Here's a video comparing 2 vaults and 3 vaults. The times are rough not exact but generally speaking doing 3 vaults is faster by a few seconds.
This video was made with the ps4s video editor so having two syncd videos on the screen at once is pretty hard to setup but I did the best I could.
