Anyone know what the buttons you hit to make this work?

I hold up on the left stick and mash circle.

So hard to reproduce this. I'm starting to think it has something to do with the enemy pack right before the cut scene. Either that or its just really inconsistent.

Yeah, unfortunately all I really know about it is how I've gotten it to happen in the past, and I've only done it 5 or 6 times ever. I always do the same inputs and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I also know that just holding circle doesn't work, so it seems like you have to press circle at the right time. Unfortunately I don't know when that is, the timing might vary due to loading times, and there isn't any way to use a visual cue because the screen is black. I haven't paid attention to the audio so it might be possible that there's an audio cue that works, but for some reason I doubt it.

What effect do you think the group of enemies might have? I checked and it seems like I always start the cutscene right as I'm destroying the last group, but I'm not sure how that might be relevant.

It looks like in your run the enemy is a split second from hitting you. What's also weird is that the black screen appears very rapidly instead of the slow transition it usually does.

After watching a couple other videos of when I got it, I have a guess as to what might be happening. I think that after the fade out, I am getting hit by an enemy's attack during the black screen, which knocks Ratchet back quickly. I think the game may somehow be carrying over that increased speed from getting hit by the enemy into the rails section.

By the way, do you want to join the R&C discord channel?

It's basically the main forum we use now for discussing all the R&C speedruns. Message me on twitch or twitter and I'll send you an invite link.
