When talking to some of the clancers in the game, the in-game timer is stopped. However, Marina can still freely move, so you can activate a a text box, and then dash ahead, while the clock is not ticking.
This was found by closely studying memory addresses of the game itself, and experimenting with different techniques. Trick co-found by veysey and myself; the initial basis of the trick was found by reik for 4-04 rescue 1.
In order to abuse the trick to the max, you need to activate the text as fast as possible, then slide jump away and watch Marina's X sub pixel position to see which variation of movement gives you the farthest X distance before the text box disappears. The TAS time for 1-02 is 13.07"; using the trick, you can get as low as 12.57".
This trick will not be used in the upcoming TAS. It may be used in some individual level speedruns, in a separate category.
good trick haha
