canGateGlitch (Hard)

The ability to open a left-facing blue or green gate from the right, using Missiles or Supers.

Dev note: A number of tries can't be applied as leniency on this tech, because the resource cost is not included in the tech (it varies with circumstances). There is a helper for all combinations of circumstances, and it's recommended to apply a number of tries as leniency on all such helpers that use this tech.

Clears obstacles: A

Dev note: There is still some leniency built in, so that perfect execution is not required, but Samus ends without losing resources. Without leniency, this can be done with about 235 heatFrames.
