PS3 Model CECHA01 vs PS2 Model SCPH-90001
After extensive efforts to remove loads from both my run done on PS2, and DJ's Run done on PS3, here is the verdict:
Backwards compatible Playstation 3 Saves roughly 2 minutes in loading times over the Playstation 2 in the Kingdom Hearts Any% Normal speedrun, assuming the same route is taken. It should be noted that in longer categories, more time will be saved.
Proof: World Record Comparison 3/16/2021 - Backwards Compatible PS3 vs 90k PS2
It should also be noted that there is a part in this comparison where some footage is missing, Post traverse town wake up cutscene all the way until the district 2 heartless fight before Leon. I removed it from both runs for accuracy's sake.
Hey everyone,
It's been about a month since we first officially rolled out sh2_luck's Cutscene Skip patch and implemented the categories for it on the leaderboard. During this time, sh2_luck has been working hard on optimizing the patch, fixing bugs, and making it an easier and smoother experience
