-WIP as this is a very new glitch. Believed to save 7 seconds in Shell 2 Core 1F and 8 seconds on KL Connecting Bridge (Substance PC, Very Easy). Believed to be slower in Strut L. Console SoL/Sub/HD needs testing + timing. Consistent and safe setups needed. Eventual dedicated section on the wiki should this become standard part of the route. Name needed too.+**DONE!

 +WIP as this is a very new glitch. Believed to save 7 seconds in Shell 2 Core 1F and 8 seconds on KL Connecting Bridge (Substance PC, Very Easy). Believed to be slower in Strut L. Console SoL/Sub/HD needs testing + timing (DOES NOT WORK ON XBOX SERIES X HDC). Consistent and safe setups needed. Eventual dedicated section on the wiki should this become standard part of the route. Name needed too.

 +<del>If you can't remember if you obtained someone's dog tag, equip the Camera/Scope and hold triangle in their direction. If their name shows up, you have their dog tag. If not, then you need to get it.
 +
 +Could be useful as a backup.
 +
 +Note: Possibly doesn't work on the HD Edition? Needs testing</del>

 +====Dump 19 Boss Survival Stuff====
 +
 +**DONE! MOVED TO [[https://metalgearspeedrunners.com/wiki/doku.php?id=metal_gear_solid_2:boss_survival#general_information | Boss Survival]] page.**
 +
 +Boss Survival needs its own dedicated page. Maybe something similar to Snake Tales.
 +
 +  - Load times and lag do not affect IGT.
 +  - Menus are counted towards IGT.
 +  - Final score screen time is always one or two frames less from what the player sees after final hit on Solidus.
 +  - The optimal boss fight strats are NOT ALWAYS the same as full game optimal strats.
 +
 +Number of guards per diff (tested on Substance pc):
 +  - Easy = 4 + 3
 +  - Normal = 5 + 3
 +  - Hard = 8 + 3
 +  - Extreme = 8 + 3
 +
 +Number of tengus per diff (tested on substance pc):
 +  - Easy = 20
 +  - Normal = 22
 +  - Hard = 25
 +  - Extreme = 25
 +
 +Difficulties somewhat follow the japanese SoL naming convention:
 +  - "Easy" = Very Easy from most versions.
 +  - "Normal" = Easy from most versions.
 +  - "Hard" = Hard from most versions.
 +
 +Extreme can be accessed via the dev menu (check the resources page for a link to it). It follows Extreme from most versions. \\
 +
 +Bosses include: Olga, Fatman, Harrier, Vamp 1, Rays, Solidus \\
 +
 +NOTE: Substance added Guard Rush + Tengu 1 \\
 +
 +Region/Version Differences:
 +  - HD Edition will have a slower Tengu or Guard Rush fight if you use stun grenades (since grenades take longer to blow up).
 +  - Sons of Liberty (NTSC-J) has a slightly faster Solidus since you can hit the walls with the blade, cancelling the animation halfway through.
 +  - PAL50 should (didnt check lol) run at a lower framerate, therefore should be slower.
 +
 +Other Notes:
 +  - Guard Rush and Tengu 1 NOT added for Substance Xbox NTSC-U. That version and region has SoL boss fights.
 +  - Tengu 1 cannot be skipped using door glitch. There is no loadzone on the other side of the door. However, Coolant/Choke/Stun skips work
 +  - Coolant/Choke/Stun skips for Tengu 1 might be slower depending on difficulty, but choke skip could be safer for higher diffs especially with Snake.
 +
 +====Dump 20 Something to do with Nikita dont know where to put this===
 +
 +When the Nikita missile's timer runs out and it blows up, you gain control of the player a few moments before the camera shifts back to Snake/Raiden.
 +
