Good run to learn off of?

The difference between a run a year ago and now is the difference of less than a minute, so that probably works fine.

And may I be the first to say, welcome to our community! Any of the runs that are within the last few months should be fine to review: the newest WR will be very advanced but a great starting point for what could be attainable, I recently put up a run that uses some more basic versions of the same strats. Feel free to post on the forums all you want, or we have a Discord server that we run that has more active people on it for better communication.

The most important thing though about any speed game is to beat it once, then again. A few more times couldn't hurt. This has to be a game that you A. like enough to play and B. like enough to play for many many hours when runs last less than ten minutes (once you start learning it of course).

Feel free to respond to this thread with any questions you have as well :)

Hello and welcome here, it's definitely a good choice for speedrunning :)

You should check out this thread : http://www.speedrun.com/ots/thread/whz1y , BeardedBusker made an excellent tutorial for beginner.

If you want a beginner friendly route I would suggest checking out abbys' 6:52 run https://www.speedrun.com/run/9mrn927y (and look at the stuff busker has been recording). It skips the hardest tricks, but otherwise is pretty much up to date and is well executed. As a beginner I think it's good that you skip the hardest tricks because resetting over 2-3 tricks over and over again isn't a good way to learn. You need to get the general hang of the movement and mechanics. Once you feel up for it you can then incorporate the tricks that you see in the sub 6:30 runs.

If you really want to deal with the "advanced" version of the route right off the bat you can look at any of the top 5 runs or so. The main difference you will find is that some go for 2 hp routes and others go for 3 hp routes (current wr is 3hp route and rezoons and tihmmw say it's faster). There will be other small differences depending on each runner's preference and how hard they find certain tricks.

Most tricks have a dedicated forum thread here or are self-explanatory once you get the hang of teleporting mechanics and green beam jumps. If you have questions you should feel free to ask though.
