Either everything that lets you skip an "unskippable cutscene" should be allowed, or none of them should be allowed, because they are all glitches, and grandfathering in old ones, while not allowing new ones in is not in keeping with the existing rules of the category.

I think it should be allowed in glitchless. You aren't skipping the fight, or making it easier. If anything, based on the tutorial, it looks pretty timing specific, and you are making it harder.

Firstly, The category rules state the following things:

"Complete the game defeating all bosses without performing any major skips or glitches."

You still complete the game while defeating all bosses, and without performing a major skip, or a major glitch. You are just PPKing and PPTing as intended by the boss fight, you're just doing them in a way that lets you beat the boss more quickly than other ways of beating the boss.

Secondly, I don't see how the following can be allowed by the cateogry rules, and this cutscene skip can't be allowed:

"Skipping the Communication Tower A cutscene at the start of the stair climb by throwing a Grenade is ALLOWED"

Skipping the Comm Tower Cutscene is far more of a glitch than skipping this cutscene is IMO, as it even makes the ascension easier, and changes the behaviour of the guards/software in a way that is opposite to the developers intention. Skipping one cutscene in the ninja fight doesn't.
