It's possible to Brush Adventure and clip the camera out of bounds before hitting the first cutscene trigger where Issun explains the Gold Gate. You can then use Vine on one of the giant flowers in the arena, allowing Ammy to fly through the first cutscene and into the arena. The first cutscene prevents Ammy from hitting the trigger which starts the fight, allowing you to just chill in the arena itself. This is a softlock since you can't do anything in there and the fight trigger to too high up to reach afaict.

![Okami in 2:23:28 - New Game Any% Speedrun [Former World Record]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/k88UtutOe3g/mqdefault.jpg "Okami in 2:23:28 - New Game Any% Speedrun [Former World Record]
This run was beaten on April 28, 2020 by me (https://youtu.be/HYXkM8-eK6Q).
By the miracle of Amaterasu herself, I managed to get first try tab skip in another run. Tab skip 2 was unfortunately a fair bit worse than last time, so I cant say both were great, but on the other hand this run lacked the categorical errors of the previous, and just played better overall. The big mistakes were these:
- Ryoshima Dojo Clip: I lost over a minute here just from failing to clip and falling into the void twice. This really sucked and I do not like this trick right now ;_;
- Wawku Cannons: I kept flubbing my execution here which lost a ton of time. Ive practiced this segment a fair bit but it still went worse than Ive seen before. Just needs more practice I guess.
- Ark Blight: I messed up the one cycle. This is my own fault for not practicing it enough.
If those mistakes hadnt happened, this run couldve been 2:21 or better. I dont know how much longer I can stand to grind this category, but sub 2h 20m would surely be inevitable if I had the perseverance.
This run beats the previous WR by me (2h 25m 09s https://youtu.be/sRRZ9IDqdBI) by 1m 41s. The WR text in the top right is erroneous because I forgot to update it before the run
