 +
 +**Q: What is the difference single and multi-segment speedruns?** \\
 +
 +**A:** A single-segment speedrun means **NO** saves are allowed to be made or loaded **DURING** (this excludes loading the initial NG+/NG++ saves or making a save after score screen has been shown) the run. A multi-segment speedrun allows as many saves to be created during the run and is usually done in more than one sitting.
 +
 +**Q: Which is faster: single or multi-segment speedruns?** \\
 +
 +**A:** Multi-Segment. Saving and reloading the save at certain parts of the game can skip portions of codec calls. On PlayStation 3, you can use saves to maximize the timesave from loading trick.
 +
 +**Q: What Rose calls can be skipped during a multi-segment speedrun?**
 +
 +**A:**
 +
 +<html>
 +<ul>
 +  <li><span style="color:Red">+1.50</span> seconds during the first visit to Strut A Roof. This skips Rose's call in Strut B Transformer Room after meeting Pliskin.
 +  <li><span style="color:Red">+2.00</span> seconds anytime after meeting the Ninja on Strut E Roof and before entering the Shell 1 Core.
 +  <li><span style="color:Lime">-1.00</span> seconds directly after the Harrier fight.
 +  <li><span style="color:Lime">-3.30</span> seconds when calling Rose directly after Olga punches Raiden in Arsenal Gear Stomach.
 +</ul>
 +<b>OVERALL:</b> <span style="color:Lime">-0.8</span> seconds.
 +</html>
 +
 +Note: The "Do you remember what day it is" codec midway through Bomb Disposal segment needs be tested too.
