The only situation(from memory) where the run is exciting by means of waiting is having to avoid Lisa by starting after 1m:55s～ which allows you to complete the necessary objectives before she gets up if you play fast enough. Other than this, just seems redundant. I will submit a run in father category following this concept of waiting first.

The problem from my perspective with time-based games is there is always waiting involved, and having the player stand still with a timer on their phone until they can do the objectives the same way they have been doing them before, is just the thing of "now you have no time to act silly when waiting". I think it will be boring to watch top players not play the game for １～２ minutes at the start of every attempt, no?But for the main categories, there is a boundary(?) to the waiting that can be executed, so many theories exist.

Congratulations on your promotion.

I am leaning towards first input timing with delay strats being a thing. If everyone can choose how much to delay, how much risk to take, everyone is on a level playing field compared to the previous system of unwitting timesave or timeloss.

Unsure. If time starts the same for everyone the focus is more on what happens during the end where there is the concept of time attack gameplay. I do not know if skill expression means standing still for long time before picking up 5 items and doing the exciting segment the same as everyone else. （?）

I look forward to these changes.

Very interesting discovery !!

Because not everyone will be able to use this, there should be enforcement of a rule of playing on the fastest graphic setting for all for the main categories.

本当です。 説明なんては明らかに言い訳になっています： 「（ここらで少し裏話） パソコンの動き少し軽くして観たら振り向く速度が少し上がった気がしました！」 えっ？（笑） ゲームを加速させたという意味では派手な表現ですねぇ。 黒い態度けど…
