So I've been following a few speedrun communities for a few years now, and I'd really like to give it a shot! I've started by trying a few earlier run glitches for some of the games I'm interested in, but I'm struggling to pull anything off, and I'm starting to feel daunted by a lot of things (it's mostly timing, that's hard to convey without seeing the controller during the run).

What do you think is the best general advice for someone completely new to this, that's feeling a bit discouraged?

And am I maybe in over my head, and should set my sights on different games? Or are there easier ones that suit my preferences?

The games I've been considering are the ps1 Spyro Trilogy, any Ratchet and Clank games, and the Sonic Adventure games. I'm a big fan of 3D platformers, but we had Playstations growing up instead of Nintendo.
