EDIT: on GC if you have a memory card saving actually adds half a second to one second each cutscene skip. The "now saving" text lingers before the level loading screen appears.

On DC it's a second slower than GC, relatively speaking. Also Sky Rail requires the strat where you grind, jump to the pumpkin platform that's still there and spin jump onto the church.

Hi, I'm looking to run Dark Story on DC because I've been practicing, in inverted commas, it on console as well as on PS3.

I'm aware there are other things besides slower loading on DC (no pumpkin platform shortcut in Sky Rail) but I've found that I can have faster cutscene skips if I delete my save file and start the run without one.

DC is a non-standard legacy platform for a run anyway (apart from Nimputs's SA runs), but I thought I might make a video about this.

(updated video) I've been practicing a strat in Sierra 3 that I think would be possible in an Any% RTA run on my CECHE01 running version 1.20. My driving is unoptimized but if you go just fast enough, you can get gold prize with this strat that minimizes your combo.
