This allows you to bypass the event trigger for Aerith at the Sector 6 part of the game, if you decide to not do the Sector 7 Guard Skip. The hardest part is not the positioning actually. You just hold down from leaving Sector 5 until you bonk, hold left until you stop moving, and then hold L1 and tap up until you get into position, and if you need to go back down because you moved too far, you do R1 and tap down. No, the hardest part is actually getting past Aerith, since even if you position perfectly, it's a literal 50/50 chance that you even get past her at all because the game checks every other frame if you're near her.

It's easier to just do the Guard Skip than this, way easier, and you save a lot more time doing that skip, but in case you ever wanted to try this skip, here you go! More for the collection, I guess! If anything, if you DO manage to do this skip, you don't have to waste 1-3 minutes tapping through textboxes just to get to Wall Market, but you are going through Sector 6 with only Cloud as technically Aerith isn't in the party at all.
