It could've been around a ~5:30 if I wouldn't have wasted one CS, also my first run of this session was a sub 5 pace. But in any case, this is a good improvement for this cursed category.

The CS into Gateway to Destiny has a completely random chance of giving a crash. If you're lucky, you'll have a window to skip the cutscene that doesn't crash, this window could randomly be between ~10 frames and 3 seconds (as far as we have found), or there could be just no window at all. After surviving the Gateway to Destiny crash, the rest of the "run" is completely safe, you just gotta get 3 more frame perfect tricks.

If you want to know more about the main glitch used in this category, Cutscene Storage (CS), you can read the explanation I posted on this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/e6luj7/eternal_darkness_sanitys_requiem_any_cutscene/f9seug4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

If you want a shorter explanation, it's a frame perfect glitch that allows you to do warps and skip chapters, at the price of watching a 30 second cutscene every try (+ some seconds of menu scrolling sometimes). It is also the reason why Any% is splitted into two sub categories.
