Hmm... If a game is out then I thought it is completely fine to start ripping/submitting any time after the release date. The exception is if the company gives a restriction on how long they can wait until they can be submitted (like what happened to Melty Blood and Undertale) or have rules not to submit.
Then again its a visual/sound novel and something like this can get spoiled. Personally would wait a week for people to play the game however if your rips get into the queue, it's when its done, it's done.
As for your second question. Its up to you but generally its update the sheets.
alright, and with higurashi spoilers arent an issue since the cg's and stuff dont really give anything away, they're mostly just character sprites and backgrounds. and ive already got a few characters ready to be submitted again (ill have to revise satoko and rika since i have them submitted right now but i might need to add new sprites for them since they have some outfits in this one not used before. also, what if im not the one that submitted ones that i would update with more sprites, would i ask the original submitter if i can update their existing zip file and put that both of us submitted parts of it? im new to updating existing sprite files. ive only submitted things that arent on the site yet.

If you are simply adding to or modifying the existing submission, you can just add your name to the submitter field but include the original submitter too. If you've basically re-ripped the entire thing and the original was extremely lacking or bad quality, then you can only include your own name.
If the original submitter is still active (many are not) it's generally good manners to contact them about it, but revisions are moderated by staff just like submissions anyway so it's not necessary.
