Regarding save deletion on DC

Hi, I'm looking to run Dark Story on DC because I've been practicing, in inverted commas, it on console as well as on PS3.

I'm aware there are other things besides slower loading on DC (no pumpkin platform shortcut in Sky Rail) but I've found that I can have faster cutscene skips if I delete my save file and start the run without one.

DC is a non-standard legacy platform for a run anyway (apart from Nimputs's SA runs), but I thought I might make a video about this.

dc and gc would better apart from other platform ?

EDIT: on GC if you have a memory card saving actually adds half a second to one second each cutscene skip. The "now saving" text lingers before the level loading screen appears.

On DC it's a second slower than GC, relatively speaking. Also Sky Rail requires the strat where you grind, jump to the pumpkin platform that's still there and spin jump onto the church.

As the main timing method is "loadless"/ in-game-time + pause menu, this wouldn't matter at all.

Although 180 Emblems has DC as its own boards, it would technically matter for DC, since it's RTA. Unless we are still going to retime runs under 12 hours (which I understand we probably won't do). But then of course, like I said, DC is its own board there, so maybe it doesn't really matter because you're not comparing to the other runs lol.
