My mind simply cannot comprehend even with a tutorial what's going on here. It's as if your mind is inside the games code and knows what to look for. But the baffling question of all is: How in the world do you even discover such skip methods/glitches? How do you know what to look for? Or that sound pile up has anything to do with this. I would really appreciate if you could elaborate.
Speaking from experience, glitches generally are discovered by accident, whether you are hunting for it or it just comes up unexpectedly during a playthrough of the game. To put it simply, when someone notices something that feels to be a bug or a glitch, then we try to investigate it. As someone who has discovered this glitch, I can share what I was doing. When I was in theater, one might say that I have an illusory mindset that somehow there is a glitch that can skip Eclipse. Essentially, I was basically banging my head against the wall trying to glitch Eclipse to see if something happened. Then something happened. When walking back and forth, I noticed something was not quite right. I remembered pausing during the sun portion of Eclipse, but for some reason the theater video jumped to the corona portion of the video, which I thought does not happen whatsoever. If I had not noticed that jump, I would have just shrugged, keep trying, and eventually give up on trying to find a skip. Instead, I pressed forward, intrigued on what I noticed, and eventually learned the rudimentary stuff about the skip. I then recorded a video of that glitch, and from then on it was history. Other people who saw the video eventually helped out. While I discovered the glitch, I was not technically knowledgeable about the inner workings of the glitch. Darkid, however, does, and he discovered why the jump happens. There were also other people who helped out with the glitch. gaesenpai found a very consistent setting up the glitch, and hatkirby discovered that holding pause can speed up the skip to the point where the skip became ludicrously consistent. But to answer your question, we discover glitches by accident. Once we do discover something weird, we report it to the community and investigate it to understand it. Most of the time we don't know what to look for when trying to find glitches since they can be rare or be nonexistent. But when we do find glitches, then we try to learn as much out of it as possible.
@undalevein4749 Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation, I appreciate it! It's just mind-boggling stuff for me to be honest. Speedrunners have a unique talent and hopefully your talent will be much more appreciated in whatever you do. It's really a gift! Btw, did you really memorize all the puzzles/panels? If so, how can you remember every unique panel? Cause the sheer possibilities to remember must be overwhelming! 🤯

Question: does this eliminate the 99.8 category altogether or wil it still be run by community?
Anyways, crazy skip for crazy puzzle. Love it!
thanks!
Bro how do you only have one saved game? Plz make a vid on this I have like a million saves, and want to get rid of some! (1:16)
