I should first say hi I am new here and don't know much about the community but I'm very interested. I want to start running Paper Mario (N64) and a game called Mega Man Network Transmission (GCN).

So I've been watching the SGDQ 2016 and I've fallen in love with the idea of speed running. The only thing I'm afraid of is that I'm not good at getting frame data or counting frames in general, I've gone off muscle memory and intuition for a majority of my gaming career. I didn't know if there was a correct way to study a game or not, so any help would be appreciated. At this point I'm just going to try and do a 'for fun' run until I'm comfy.
