I will be speed running with a game called Drakan: The Ancients' Gates for the PS2, and I am having a bit of trouble knowing when the speed running will start. I saw in the rules that speed runs start when you are able to control your character, but would interacting with the game by skipping opening cut scenes, leading to controlling your character, count as the official start of your speed run? In short here is how it is broken down.
1. Click "new game" which leads to a 30 second load screen, before the first opening cut scene.
2. A few opening cut scenes that I can spam START or X to skip, leading to about a 5 second load screen, after the last opening cut scene.
3. After the brief-load screen, I can finally manipulate and move my character.
Does the speed run start with scenario 1, 2, or 3?
Thank you for your help.
