This is the fourth of four new sequence break skips for the Silent Hill Homecoming NG (and NG+) All Bosses speedrun categories. This skip takes place in the Sewer level, and lets you skip half of the level by clipping through 2 important roll-up gates. I explain how to do this skip in the video, and more information is also below in the description.

------------------------------
Skip #4 of 4: Town Hall Cutscene Skip
Difficulty: 5/10 (the clip itself isn't hard, but there's a chance you get stuck in the wall and the run is basically over. It's hard to rate this skip since it's easy to do, but a fast run-killer if failed).
Time Saved: Around 3 1/2 minutes.
------------------------------
A.) The Skip:
What you need to do is get the gun clipped into the wall to the right of the gate. This needs to be as close to the gate's metal frame as possible. This will not work if you are too far away from the gate (and being too far away from the gate also makes getting stuck in the wall more likely to occur).
Once the gun is clipped into the wall, rotate Alex while at the same time holding down on the control stick. These two movements should push Alex into the gate itself, where his body can slide through the gate. Continue rotating and holding back until it seems Alex is on the other side, then let go.
The two main gates you should worry about skipping are built the same way, so if you can skip one gate, you just have to basically repeat the same skip, only at a different place.
I would not worry about skipping the first gate. Since it takes roughly 17 seconds to pass it normally, that's about the same amount of time it takes to perform the skip.
------------------------------
B.) What this Skips:
The first gate clip skips the entire upper left section of the level.
The second gate clip skips having to fight the monsters in the arena after Elle is attacked.
------------------------------
This skips save about 3 1/2 minutes if both are performed well.
If you did this skip along with both of the Hotel skips and the Town Hall skip (linked above) you can expect to save about 9 minutes total.
For example, if you're getting a run average of 1 hour flat, you can expect to drop your personal record down to around 51 minutes.
At the end of the video is a time comparison of what you could expect your new runs to look like vs your old ones.
