NG Single Segment The New Game route uses a luck manipulation until the first boss, Harab Serap. After that point, the general route depends on the stage and needs at the time. You need to be careful with your points, which cards to sell or upgrade that may drop along the way. While you will want to purchase card packs, make sure to leave enough points…

Metal Gear Ac!d 2 General Speedrun Tips and Gameplay Mechanics * It is highly recommended that you read through the play guide, which can be opened at any time during gameplay by pressing X and selecting GUIDE. * When a square is highlighted blue AND the character enters it, you can input the next direction. In other words, a character can still be moving on the square, they do not need to stand in the center for the next move to occur.

Testing indicates it is not. Due to the fact you must travel out of the way menu and there's a longer trip out of Sokrovenno. You also do not get a Moison Nagant which slows down The Fury.

This trick is known as First Frame Rise, Frame 1 Rise, or Frame 1 Out Of The Water. While there are many ways to do this (possibly faster setups), these are the most consistent setups that I was able to come up with.

MGS3 Speedrun FAQ Game Mechanics Q: Why do guards get tunnel vision when they call the radio and ignore Snake? A: Enemy AI has stages of priority. If they get fired upon and go to call for backup, they’ll ignore most sounds around them and get tunnel vision. This is why Caution strategies are used in the speedrun. Once the radio is at their head, they will ignore what's going on around them.
