Need what?
As I wrote, plymouth should normally be started early enough, and it is not really possible to start it earlier.
My point was that it does not make a difference whether plymouth displays a black screen or an actual picture.
Don't you want slick clean boot up.
Well, I don't see a flashing cursor after the boot menu that you mention. But then I'm still on 13.2.
TBH, I don't really care though. I normally boot/shutdown my system once a day, and even then I'm normally not sitting in front of the screen and staring at the boot splash while it boots/shuts down...
It's the annoying white flashing block AND the login prompt that appears just before and after plymouth. It also appears when we select shutdown from KDE gui. I'm not sure about GNOME.
That's a different problem, and is caused by the fact that plymouth is quit before the display manager starts, to free up the console. And when you shut down, plymouth has to be restarted again after the display manager quits, so you see the text mode console for a short while.
AIUI, gdm has a better plymouth integration than kdm or sddm, so you might try this one if that bothers you.

The issue about the log in prompt. Which selection should I choose for Bugzilla to report this bug? Plymouth? I'm also using openSUSE 13.2 as my main workstation as it has the most stable version of KDE4 where everything is working. The boot up is smooth. I will follow your advice and see about switching sddm to gdm. Cheers!
