Pikmin 1: Cutscene Skip Tutorial [Advanced Speedrun Tutorial Part 0]
30iid01 was the first to seriously consider going for cutscene skips, but the method was luck based and made use of mashing A.
I was first to route in all area cutscene skips and came up with setups for all areas. I also discovered that it was often preferable to use a part for the textboxes, though I didn't know why.
Jhawk discovered the method for cutscene skips used today, in which you time your A press for perfect buffers, and forcibly routed in more cutscene skips. He also proved that parts buffer 2 frames, therefore being the preferred choice.
Seriously, practice this and you will save over a minute in your runs easily. Cutscene skips are pretty important at the top level, and there's no reason you shouldn't skip half of them with this consistent buffer method.
Just practice timing the A press, don't spam A after you close the textbox. Take time to put all the parts in the landing site, go to sunset, then practice skipping with proper timing. You'll get the hang of it! It's really not that hard.
