Hello,

Is it possible to add the real new game plus category for this game? There is the concept use the new game plus in mid-game though, but since this is part of the story, you are going to have to complete the full game to unlock the true new game plus option. There is actually no difference between the new game plus during the game and the new game plus after the game. The only thing to avoid in the first option is to enable the SP when battling the Kaizer. But it's better to use the new game plus after the game completion.

Now, when you select the true new game plus option, you have the choice to jump to any chapter in the game. However, to accept runs under this category, I suggest we void this idea and start from the very beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be considered as a full-game run. Another thing about the rules is the timing start which I have two possibilities in mind: start the timer right when confirming the "Are you certain?" prompt, or right after the save is created. The first choice would be more accurate for the timer and (I think) it is common for speedruns. The second choice is less accurate, but the run would start at the frame where the game really begins. It is still a possibility, but I guess most people will go for the first choice.

To resume this post:

• You must complete the game in order to get the real new game plus.
• The run must begin at the Prologue.
• The timer starts after the "Are you certain?" prompt.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please post in the thread!

Is it really necessary to add a video link when submitting a run here? I don't have a 3DS capture card.
