Emblem cutscene skips on GC banned?

Hey, so I noticed that my unlisted video of a 1:00:50 Hero Story on GC was added to this leaderboard. I'm assuming this was pulled from congratsio since I did not leave a record of that time anywhere else; however, I also have better times listed on congratsio (current "PB" of 50:49).

I can only assume these times were not considered because I made use of this emblem cutscene skip on GC:

I'm asking for clarification on this because MasterC's 39:24 is on this leaderboard, and it also uses this glitch.

As MasterC notes in the video description, I discovered the credits method of this glitch by accident. I did some attempts after accidentally activating it the first time, and got a "PB" of 57 with no knowledge of it at all until he pointed it out to me. I decided to continue using it since I reasoned it was only bridging the time gap between GC and PC, but I believe this glitch was banned when it was discovered on PC since having to set it up and obsolete the records on PC with a purely artificial timesave would've been dumb.

I agree that my 50:49 should not count, but I think that rule should apply to everyone as well.

I also went and deleted all my SA2B runs for personal reasons, so you guys should probably just remove my time.

Hi Elm. The emblem scene skip has not been banned as of now and I believe that it will not be banned in the near future. Your old PB in hero story was used as no one could find your current PB's video. This video was found on your YouTube channel and uploaded to the leaderboards before it was removed (link deleted). If you could submit your current PB with the video if you still have it (and if you want to), that would be great. Thanks!

Oh, alright. Strange coincidence though that the only video found was the last run I did without the cutscene skips. I deleted my videos though, so I'm afraid I can't submit my current one. Thanks for clarifying!
