The "Any%" portion of this run was pretty good, but the "All Stories" portion had a mishap that lost a large chunk of time.
I tried out a trick that saves a little bit of time at the end of each saga. If instead of selecting "Skip" on the final cutscene of a saga you instead select "Select Scenario" then you will also skip the save prompt, saving perhaps a minute over the course of an Any% run.
The thing I didn't realize about using this method to skip cutscenes this way is that the game has to get to the end of a cutscene before it counts the previous fight as complete. This caused my completion percent to not be at 100% when I thought I was done with the run. I had to figure out what happened and then go back and redo the fights that the game did not recognize as complete to satisfy the requirement of the "All Stories" category which is "Timing ends when 100% completion ratio is shown" which occurs at the 5:19:52 mark in the video. The timer started at the 55 second mark in the video putting the "All Stories" run at a time of 5:18:57.
