Daniel Enright's guide in SDA

http://speeddemosarchive.com/SummonNightSCS.html Daniel Enright's segmented run serves as a great guide for learning the game as it gives details on each segment of the run. Be sure to check the site when starting to speedrun this game.
Also, play in NA version cause it is faster than JP version by a lot since JP version doesn't have Kanji in the texts, only in Hiragana and Katakana.

Teleporter Selection Glitch (Originally floor 6 glitch) Observations and Notes

Description:
This glitch occurs when in the teleporter menu when scrolling down to select a floor and canceling out of the menu with the B button. It seems to be an input perfect glitch. One needs to release the down input as the B input is being inputted. The menu will stay on screen, the camera will lock to the menu and the scroll bar on the right hand side of the menu will disappear. If another menu is accessed the game will glitch and selecting another option will cause the game to softlock/crash. The game music will persist, but no button inputs will be read.

Notes/Observations:
You can move around during this glitch.
Entering a random encounter will clear the teleporter menu. 
I have had success playing the game while being able to access the main menu and other menus and not causing the game to lock. 
Text boxes become glitched, and the same with accessing the teleporter menu again.
Menu's that let you switch between the protagonist and summon beast stat or equipment menus will clear up if you press L or R.
Battles and post battle results seem to be unaffected.
Multiple Activations:
Reactivating the glitch and then making a text box appear bugs the floor graphics. If an encounter occurs, the graphics will be restored. They can be bugged again by accessing a text box. 
Behavior of the game changes. I have experiences small artifacts appearing after the battle screen in the top left corner. I have had the menus clear up after accessing the weapons menu and canceling out. This caused only some text to be incomplete and the Status and List texts disappear from the menu. I caused the game to lock by leaving the glitched teleporter menu up and talking to Zantek.
