I'm trying to replicate the glitch where the exit animation for the N. Tropy boss is skipped (for an example see the SGDQ 2014 run)

So far I've had luck with SFX on and it seems to be a frame perfect blue vortex cutscene skip. I haven't had luck with SFX off and wanted to ask if anyone has done it with SFX off or with any other levels/bosses?

What you're talking about has been done without sfx here (on n.tropy): http://www.speedrun.com/run/9mrop6dm

Thanks for the reply but I think we're thinking of a different glitch. The glitch I mean is after returning to the warp room crash immediately gains control rather than tumbling out.

Ah yes I think I know the one you're talking about actually, I can't answer that sorry

To my knowledge, it has never happened with the sfx off. Back when I played with the sfx on, it seemed to be simply a matter of luck, and nothing more. I got it maybe 20% of the time. It certainly is not some frame perfect thing. It only saves 3 and a half, maybe 4 seconds anyways. You're better off just playing with sfx off and not worrying about it, since that saves about a minute.

Yeah I'd agree that it's luck based. But skipping the vortex cutscene at a certain time seems to manipulate the RNG. It might be a different timing depending on when the cutscene starts, but I'm not sure about that.

I haven't had it with SFX off even when testing with frame advance and savestates. Thanks for giving more evidence that it isn't possible with SFX off.

It would be interesting to see if a TAS would turn SFX on just for the skip, but I doubt that would save time.

It's just some random disc-reading error and it's very hard to do consistently (if at all, but I did get it on emulator once so there's no physical stuff to it)
