Greetings everyone. New speedrunner here

Hey. I've been watching the AGDQs for a few years and finally decided to commit to some speedrunning myself. A friend of mine (purjo83) posted some runs on my Facebook-feed so I decided to give him some competition.

I'm starting out with Ducktales (NES) and have submitted two runs. One easy any% (5th place) and one difficult any% (9th place) waiting for approval but hopefully I will climb higher in the ranks. After Ducktales we'll see which game I commit to.

See you around everyone! Keep up the good work.

Thank you decipher. I really like the speedrun community. Tips and tricks are never far away.

Managed to grab tied 3rd place on Ducktales difficult Any% so I'm off to a good start. The WR is not as far out of reach as I thought a few days ago.

Thinking of what I should run next. Batman or Mega Man are a couple of top candidates.

Welcome! :)

Managed to improve 5 seconds (will submit the run a bit later this evening) so WR is only 5 seconds away, but I'm starting to get a bit tired of the game so gonna pick something else up for variation (perhaps Ducktales 2, haha).

Thank you Svenne! =)

That is always something that will happen as soon as your mechanics are set deeply, because of the constant grinding, but I believe you'll get it eventually ;)

Thnx bamz0rs. 1 second away now. As soon as I get it I'll probably not touch the game in quite some time.

Interesting to read this introduction in hindsight. At time of writing I didn't expect to grab the Ducktales WR and climbing the Batman-boards so quick. Enjoying every second of it so far. Big thanks to the community for support.
