In regards to this subject. I'm looking into social links (to make things go faster), and I am curious if anyone knows the actual percentage rating of Ryuji's Instant Kill Skill (Unlocked at Confidant Level 7), and if it's worth getting, or if it causes more trouble then it's worth. I can see it being useful in order to avoid encounters, but if the percentage is too high, it seems that it may also interfere with desired encounters (to get persona's or a routed battle to gain certain levels). Or is it strictly random?

I wanted to open this thread to see if anyone has looked into little time savers. One of the first ones I'm wondering about is holding Triangle during Fast Forward. I know it makes it a little harder to hit X, but I've also noticed that it removes the "Click" sound when it speeds through the text. Is it a little faster? Or does it just remove the sound effect? That said, I do know that mashing X while holding triangle does speed up text-boxes you can't fast forward through.

Honestly, the only possible alteration to NG+ run I can see that could potentially make it a little more difficult would be if it were to become NG+ solo run. I'm not saying that this should be a thing, I am just saying that that is the only run I can see getting some attention in the NG+ category.

It's most likely due to the fact that it wouldn't be much of a run. It would be more a long the lines of "Can you stay up for 10 hours mashing X and pressing up on the analog stick". That's just my opinion though, there could be more to it. EDIT: Additionally, thinking about it, I believe Safety, unlike easy, grants extra experience and money, which makes it a fundamentally different run all together.
