 This glitch will instantly and completely kill whatever enemy you face if a cutscene is known to occur in the middle of the battle. To achieve this you must have a transformation style in your hot keys for styles. Then right before the cutscene is known to occur, transform. During the cutscene, you will notice that you have changed back to your normal form, but are blinking oddly. When you enter battle again, you will slide along the floor without walking, and will not be able to attack. Now use the transformation style again and the enemy will die, instantly.</blockquote>

-In the Necropolis, you can skip some fights by rotating the camera away from where the fight is supposed to take place. Watch what happens at 12:06 and 12:15 in Segment 6 of the current run. The theory is that you can apply this trick to other fights in the game. So far, no other places have been proven to work.

 There are a couple of opportunities where a sequence break can be performed. Essentially, you're pausing, saving and reloading at a time and place that you're not supposed to. Here are all the places that have been tested to work:
-* While talking to Forest Shadow, immediately after she says "A woman in blue? ..." and immediately before the "oh-God-here-comes-the-Water-Dragon" sequence. (Go to 12:46 in Segment 3 of the current speedrun.)

-* Upon defeating the Emperor, immediately after Master Li approaches the throne and the statue crumbles, and immediately before the music starts. (Check out 1:50 in Segment 9 of the current run.)

 * Use Fortune's Favorite instead of Golden Star. The sword can hit many enemies simultaneously, and your enemies don't go flying if you use a power attack.
