Discovering the source of door clips has made me want to discover the source of the enigmatic Patsy Skip.

For those that have no idea, check the above link

Patsy skip is seemingly random, but I feel like some combination of elements can trigger the skip. If her AI only slightly glitches out (as in the above video) you can shoot her car to slow her down somewhat, but hopefully we can hunt for a full fledged version where she never gets in her car.

Don't know if anyone still cares about this, but I was able to get a beautiful example of the famous Patsy Skip in a run that ended up dying really badly towards the end. Sadly I was also not recording my mic, so you don't hear me screaming "PATSY SKIP! PATSY SKIP!" over and over.

I've sliced up the original recording of my run to just start when you first enter the car Ricky gives to you, and end on the ending of the Uncle Po split. It really does seem to have something to do with that jump you can do off the stairs, possibly distance.

Theory:

1. Be in slow-mo as you enter the trigger area
2. Aim as close as you can to the palm tree
3. Land somewhere on the sidewalk near the fountain Let's see if we can get it???

Possibly, my theory is more how close you can get to her via that jump, as I'm thinking being airborne while entering the designated area that flips the game's dialogue trigger is what scrambles her AI into not activating. This could possibly mean that burning time by hunting down and hijacking a faster car could mean getting the skip more consistently, leading to a faster split. I'll definitely get around to testing this more once I get some IRL bullshit surrounding moving and college cleared up this week and report back here with what I find, if someone doesn't beat me to this.

I don't think it's trying to get as close as possible. When trying for it, from all the times I recall getting it, I always remember getting the good version of it at about the location where you landed; just a little bit away from the fountain with my jump hitting slow mo (I think). The car we get in the section is already decently fast, if Patsy starts to gun it like she did in the first post's vid the best option is to attempt to make her swerve into something by shooting the opposite side of the car, the set speed of of their takeoff is almost impossible to outspeed even with a class A car.
