New to Speedrunning
3 years ago

Hello everyone! I'm both new to this game and new to speedrunning. I just wanted to let you all know that this might be the first game I've ever been interested in speedrunning! I hope that I can submit for this some day and appreciate any tips or tricks!

Hope to be a part o this community some day!

I will be running this on PS4! Thanks!

Welcome! I'd say completing your first playthrough if you haven't already would be the best starting point. After that, checking out the vids for the full game and IL runs will help you get a general idea of how some of the speedtech is implemented. There are some good notes about tech and game systems in the other forum posts too.

Even now, the run is still pretty unoptimized and can be pushed further. Getting your speed up early by taking turns will save time over the course of a given level, but you want to find a speed that you can maintain. Which will be different from person to person, and increase the more you play. Taking efficient early turns is important too, so looking for sections where you can repeat the same turns in very quick succession or while making necessary movement progress will help your times drastically. I haven't run this in ages, but I think the ILs for levels 2 and 3 are pretty good examples.

This isn't the easiest first speedgame, so take your time and enjoy. I've suggested to folks before that focusing on ILs initially will make the process a bit less painful, especially if you struggle with level 7 as much as most folks do.

Good luck!

Howdy!

rarelike summed up most of the main points of doing a run. I’d recommend doing a few full game runs to get the hang of stuff. Turns are vital and getting as many as possible early in is the name of the game.

As previously mentioned, there’s a ton of optimizations that can be made to most of the runs, especially the WR any%.

Also, level 7 sucks. It’s a huge spike in difficulty and killed most of my runs when doing any%.

Hope to see you run the game, and best of luck!
