I'm fine with both. Your TAS made it easier to try these things.
Faster door: no need to press B only to fine tune x position, which we dont need here. We press A in opposite direction to skip the girls door handle animation
Pause: a bit buggy. Pausing and unpausing before taking control teleports our cursor to a specific place, seems to be room dependent.
I can just hope, that pausing will help in scissorman skipping.
edit: minor brainstorming regarding scissorman:
- you can use the cursor to select the stair after gaining control after scissorman introduction. going there ends with death
- you need to be within a specific gap to parry and repel scissorman after introduction. the first position is 60 right as he falls down (starting position is 144, if we could get just a little bit of earlier control, we could be exactly at that position sincs 12px is the unit of 1 running movement)
edit2:
- if your position is 61 (poked it, cause 72 is our achievable position), you need to go right first. simply going left will kill you. This is somewhat strange, as this also works when I freeze the value. No matter how I tried, moving back and forth with even cancelling (B) didn't helped me.
- parry and repel (the panic button that missing in this version) is done by spamming A, no other button helps in this situation.

edit3:
- after countless tests, I see some inconsistency, that is I could poke 72 but sometimes I can repel and parry and in other state I can't. The difference between my states is 1. original tas 2. my 3rd wip 3. my 5th wip 4. continue after death 5. "RTA" (no tastudio just playing the game). I guess I start optimizing those 1-2 lag frame saves and hope for a random earlier controlling opportunity.

mednafen 1.21.1 / 0.9.48 tests (freshly installed, zero configuration) AND Mame64 0.195b:
- quick start doesnt works, the game doesn't progresses after fade out and sound effect played. on the same vein, the game doesn't progresses any other ways... hmm... 01A5 - 0200 - D073
Oswan 1.73 (2007!):
- quick start works, everything behaves like wonderswan. there aren't many TASing tools, so I don't know about loading time differences / lag frames etc.
