This will be simple AF for me, die to the fact that I already have a YT and can just embrace tradition by not editing ANYTHING (Otherthan the public release of the run)

The easiest game to begin with is the one you're already most familiar with, as that will save you time relearning movement. If you're looking for easy games, you could try flash games, though a game's difficulty does not match how optimized leaderboard times are. This also depends on your end goal—do you just want something you can wrap up quickly and be proud, or do you want to see your time fall significantly?

Great! If these games are on the site, then speedrun those games.

A game doesn't have to be on the site for you to speedrun it.

Literally half the web games on this site take 5 mins to learn, I suggest those of you want a real easy game.

If you have any attraction to the NES console, I would recommend "Pizza Pop" or "Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers" (the first one).

I made a tutorial for Chip & Dale you can find via the SRC guides/resources section there. Both, at least on a basic level, have no RNG and fairly straight forward execution and good learning curves. On a very optimal level (say, top 10 or 20), both also just have a few "difficult" tricks. I really think both games are also very easy to learn considering their length (about 10 minutes). A few hours, or maybe at most, a day of learning.
