There is a skip that allows runners now to skip the early fight in chapter 1 by the two statues. This skip was introduced by Psychedelist. This skip is performed by Jumping to Grab the side wall, and then doing Triple Punch Triple Kick (PPPKKK), Jumping again, and then another Triple Punch Triple Kick (PPPKKK). The attack combinations allow for the player to move across over the pond of water, and onto the distant platform to progress forward skipping the angel fight. This skip saves around 25~ Seconds.
