+===Summary===
+  *Snake Eater PAL is overall the fastest version for speedrunning on the Playstation 2 platform. Pros: Eva skip, shorter credits. Cons: Slightly harder to play, slow 1911/SVD spamming, Very Easy quirks, stun grenades on Ocelot don't deal damage, extra stamina management (Extreme/European Extreme).
+  *Subsistence (any region) is also a great version, especially for Very Easy. Pros: Easy to play, similar to HDC, includes 3D camera, stun grenade damage on Ocelot/The End is fixed, VE/E-EX oddities are fixed. Cons: Full length credits sequence, no Eva skip (if NTSC).
+  *Snake Eater NTSC-U/J/K are versions to avoid. Pros: Shorter credits. Cons: No 3D camera, VE quirks, stun grenades on Ocelot and The End don't deal damage, The End's randomized spawn, no Eva skip, unskippable cutscenes during Eva escort.

+The Xbox Series S and X consoles load the HD version the fastest and have zero to no lag/slowdowns in framerate. Making this the ideal HD version to speedrun.\\
+* Leaderboards currently separate PS3 as a platform into its own leaderboard, so PS3 and Xbox Series as speedrun platforms stand on their own.
