• How much it saves depends on the length of a tick in a given stage, the maximum so far is 0.25.

Setup:

-Run towards the goal
-Turn when you are ~1 meter away, so you are parallel to the goal
-Press and hold triangle
-Immediately after the triangle input (but not at the same time) lean to the left or right with L1 or R1
-Be careful, as equipping/unequipping an item/weapon can mess with this
