This is a thread for miscellaneous glitches, tricks, discoveries or ideas that anyone stumbles across that we might be able to work with for the sake of speedrunning. Whether or not these are RTA viable is not really the point, I just think having a spot to dump ideas would be good.

Announcer Speed: The announcer says the characters names at different rates. Of the 4 capable of doing the backwards throw strat, Boba is 15 frames faster per fight than Han, 19 frames faster per fight than Jodo Kast, and 17 frames faster per fight than the Stormtrooper. Boba Fett is the fastest character across the board, saving between 2 and 3 seconds over the other characters over the course of an Arcade Mode run, more in Survival.

Taunt-skip: The taunts when you defeat an opponent are a flat 2.5 seconds across all characters. If you fall off the ring after your opponent has already been declared dead by ringout, you skip the taunt animation. You can force yourself to keep moving after the announcer has started talking by performing a long combo. This doesn't seem useful as a main strat because the regular strat of throwing the opponent over the edge when they behave well is still faster, but it seems like a good back-up strat if the enemy AI does not behave and does not come directly to the edge for the easy Ringout, you can do this to make-up some of the timeloss. This video also shows a weird thing that happened where Thok flies back towards the ring, but falls through the floor and dies by ringout.

Instant Ringout: I have no idea what caused this, its a total mystery to me. I have yet to be able to replicate it, I will update the thread if I ever figure it out.
