 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. WIP as this is a very new glitch.

 +**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.
