Possible cutscene skip
3 years ago
United States

After experimenting, I have found that quitting the game before a cutscene and manually entering the next stage is several seconds faster than waiting for the cutscene to play out:

As far as I can tell, the category rules don't prohibit this. One possible concern is that this would make splices easier to hide, as the score and timer are reset when the game is quit. However, one could theoretically count the fish that the player eats during the stage and compare it to the Food Bank count displayed at the end of every stage for consistency. I want to make sure that this method of skipping the cutscenes has the OK of the community and moderators before using it in runs.

If the player verifies the Food Bank count I think this is a good idea to implement in the run :o

@Patron Hello, it is definitely OK for the community. The purpose is to speedrun the game as fast as possible and in that video, I think you just found a way to skip cutscenes :) And if you prefer to quit the game and went back to the game to continue because it is faster then it is OK. Just make sure you pressed the correct level.

(Edit: My apologies, but I have a favor to ask. Can you do that video again with a new file and reach level 8 then when the cutscene shows, quit the game but saved. I wanted to know if you went back into the game, does level 9 pops up or you have to do level 8 all over again?

If level 9 pops up then I will allow doing what you did since it is the same thing but if its not and you have to redo the level 8 then I am afraid I can't allow this.)

I don't think there is a way to skip cutscenes. We just have to wait for it.
