Editing Guard Skip (section)

===Execution===
Using either the D-Pad or a keyboard is highly advised, and using a control stick is highly discouraged.

# Run (do not walk) to line up Clouds head with the stone texture in the middle using only left and right to adjust. (See Cloud's head position)
# Run down. Cloud will bonk into the guard. Keep holding Down, then release Run. Cloud will twitch against the guard he has bonked on. [[File:Arm pixel.png|thumb|246x246px|Cloud arm position]]
# While still holding Down, press and release R1 so Cloud turns towards the left and back down again.
# Release Down. Walk left and right to line Cloud up to a specific position against the guard. The net displacement you want is one frame of walking to the left. There are two visual cues for the correct position: one for Cloud facing left and one for Cloud facing right. When facing left, Cloud's hand is in line with the guard's shoulder. When facing right, Cloud's foot is poking about halfway out of the guard on the right. Also Cloud's arm will be an hour glass shape. (See Cloud's arm position image)[[File:Cloud position.png|thumb|245x245px|Cloud's position]]
# Run down-right, and Cloud will run deep into the corner. (See the image of Cloud's position)
# Hold R1 and tap left once to walk up-left for 1-3 frames.
# Walk down-right until Cloud stops in the corner.[[File:Gspixel.png|thumb|Clip position]]
# Hold R1 and tap left for 3 frames of movement, until this cue, then run down-right to run past the guard. Run down-left for a bit to get to the loading zone. (See image clip position)
