I've taken a look at the other speedruns and one thing that differs in them is that most people seem to be able to skip the crab dialog super fast after freeing him. In my case if I spam escape after freeing him it takes around 4 seconds for Freddi to stop talking. Has anybody encountered that? I'm playing the steam version, norvegian on the best seed save provided in resources.

edit: I put subtitles only and changed the subtitle speed to 0 and that seemed to have improved it but it's still slower than what I see the in other speedruns :|

I'm in the same boat. Did you ever work this out?

Period key skips dialogue.
