This strategy absolutely should be Banned from the Run, or separated to another category (Along side Credits Warp). This strategy skips the following in Arcade Mode:

• Megaman's Respawn Animation
• Players Respawn Animation
• Player vs Enemy Scene
• Stage Completed Scene
• The Three Second Startup Timer All of these skipped saves over Half of the runs time, and with this alone, would cause Sub 2, or even Sub 1 to be free.
