Yo so i just started like a month ago. I got bored of all the normal games so I decided to start speedrunning. I love it so far and have speedran mainly snake and gun mayhem 2.

what i did:

1. looked up what to do
2. got OBS
3. got LiveSplit
4. decided what to speedrun (it was google snake)
5. got a Youtube account
6. trained for 7 hours strait
7. improved by 8 seconds
8. submitted a run
9. waited for 2 weeks till it got accepted
10. felt accomplished in that i was now a true speedrunner (soon after i became a record holder)

Question:

1. What did you do to get into speedrunning, what game got you into speedrunning?
2. (if you speedrun snake) What is your fastest time and what category is your favorite.

Hello! You can find some stories of people's first speedrun in this thread—my reply is here.

The one thing I didn't mention in that post is that I had been grinding times on Newgrounds games with speedrun leaderboards for about a year before Foxbot came out, starting with Duke Dashington Remastered. So you could say that's the game that got me into speedrunning, although I never went back and recorded anything for it.
