Legacy Strategies
Legacy strategies have been replaced with easier or more consistent strategies.
Bryan B. Glass
Obsolete because it is slower than modern strategies. Still has a place in modern RTA runs as a backup for failed mainframe attempts. It is also used in LTK runs.
Consistency rating: MEDIUM
Henrik Glass
Very viable for good PBs but newer strats are likely easier and more consistent.
Consistency rating: Medium-Low
Non-Standard Strategies
These strategies are not commonly used or are theoretical.
Fast Glass
Still viable for UWR on all difficulties. Just really hard and unreliable even on agent.
Consistency Rating: LOW
Crouch Glass
Very viable for UWR, but relies heavily on guard animations which makes it terrible to play for. There are several variations of it and Henrik needs to write this section. Crouch glass is the main strat on the XBLA version of Goldeneye which some might find interesting. It's possible we can learn some from the way they do it. There is also a trick where if you pause buffer the moment the guard finishes running, the guard will run further which might help with consistency.
Consistency rating: LOWish?, more info is required.

Debunked Strategies
Glass Door Warp
The comparison is often drawn to the Depot warp, but it is not possible to warp the glass door on standard settings.
