Hi ! I'm Fox, a 12 years old little french kid. I played video games for the first time when i was 4 years old with Sonic 3 on the Mega Drive. [That's why i'm a SEGA fan] And i discovered speedrun when i was 9 years old and i immediately liked it. But... i did not have a computer ! Now i got a new Windows 7 [Not new lmao] and i can submit runs on speedrun.com ! But another thing, i CAN'T do a good record of something and i'm not good at speedrun [even though i'm training] ! So... it's going to be difficult to enter the vast world of speedrun... And i wanna know if someone have a game who'll be one of the best game to start speedruning.
You started playing 16 bit Sega after 2010? wow, Such different time. You should live in my country, lol People love Master System and Mega Drive so much that these consoles keep being released oficially licensed by sega still today. Welcome kiddo
As for the game, there's no secret. You just pick a game that you love so much that you will never get tired of playing over over and over again, watch videos of other runs, start on easiest categories, etc
I already know that Brazil release Master System 3 and Mega Drive 4 but in France, it's the opposite ! Everybody hates SEGA [not me] and i don't know why !
Ok it's better to speedrun a game that i love and i never get tired of finish, but Sonic 3 is the only ojne that is not so LOOOOOOOOONG... I love Ninja Gaiden [not the NES version, but the Master System version] but the last level is so fucking difficult ! And that's the problem of so much of the games i love: Ecco the Dolphin [Mega Drive] Mortal Kombat I, II and III[ I'm a noob at fighting games, but i'm really good at platformer games]
And so much more...
I LOVE Ninja Gaiden for Master System. I first knew this one even before NES ones. And when I knew NES Ninja Gaidens I didn't wanted to play them because I loved the master system version. It was like a Sega territory here on 8 bit era. Not Nintendo. I know that in Europe, At least in UK it was the same with Master System. It dominated instead of NES. I don't know what people in US see in NES anyway xD
Try the MKs. The Arcade versions have some strats to manipulate the AI that if you do correctly you will always troll the cpu and win. Specially the MK2
I'm trying to speedrun Mario Kart Wii and i can't play the arcade versions of Mario Kart because i can't play with an emulator [I have a poor PC]
And in the US, the NES was the favorite... :(
