Summarized explanation of the skipLink to section: Summarized explanation of the skip
The skip exploits the softlock prevention mechanism in the game, which dispawns any guard that prevents a scripted movement by a character during a cutscene. In the beginning cutscene, Murray is scripted to run from behind the corner. If you place a rooftop guard next to the table around the corner, Murray gets stuck and the guard is dispawned. Since in Tar Ball Murray must not damage guards (unless in Ball Form), this causes a Job Fail screen and the cutscene is skipped.
