I ran this category for a couple weeks' worth of time and ended with barely a sub 15 (A frame count after the run revealed this to clock in at a 14:59.950, 3 frames below the 15 minute mark). This run has some mistakes in it, but I'm happy to break a major minute barrier in this category and I'm probably done for a good while.

This run makes use of a wrong warp from block 4 to block A (final level) found by Producks. It can only be done with Grant and it involves swapping from Trevor to Grant within a 5 frame window before going down some stairs to another screen, which provides a misalignement and allows to go back up and beyond the top of the stairs to access a glitch world. With careful navigation, it's then possible to corrupt certain ram addresses and warp to the final level. For more information about the setup and for anyone who wants to learn this wrong warp I've made a detailed tutorial here: https://youtu.be/83x3j7htTFs

The "Grant launches" are a (often) frame perfect trick involving left-facing walls. If Grant is in the middle of the stab animation, starts to grab the wall and "dpad-right" is released at the same time it's grabbed, for some reason he'll be teleported half a screen above or below, depending on whether the trick is done in the lower half or the upper half of the screen. I went for this trick in three separate spots in this run.
