Oh hi sup, newbie trying to figure out his next speedgame

Hi I haven't actually posted on these forums but I've been lurking for a while. Anyways, sup it's Veiyr. I've mainly been grinding out Kirby's Canvas Curse and waiting on my irl friend to let me borrow his 3DS (which has a capture card, unlike mine) so I can get to recording runs and finally nab that WR !_!

Outside of that I've still been pondering over what games I should speedrun next. Canvas Curse has been hella fun in terms of optimizing individual parts to lead to a good run, but there really isn't much routing involved because of how linear everything is, something that sounds really exciting but really frustrating at the same time. Mainly been considering

-TWEWY (long game that I haven't gotten 100% in yet but man is it fun. There are some guides and a few runs but I'll still have to experiment on my own, which sounds hella fun) -Mega Man ZX (I gotta get good first, those were some insane combos at the AGDQ run) -Super Mario Galaxy (see above, need to learn the good routes) -Azure Striker Gunvolt (It's so much fun to go fast in this game oh my god, but I actually need to beat it first) -Some Pokemon game (I love these games man, but I'm not sure if speedrunning them is really a good idea. Maybe the N64/GCN/Wii RPGs? Or I could try ORAS once I'm done with that or pick up XY and try that, those seem more simple)

I'm of course open to suggestion cause I sure don't know better. Mainly looking for games that are really fun and/or overlooked (so that there is a lot to explore in terms of speedrunning them). What do you guys think I should go for next? (I also have a backloggery account if you want to know everything I own for whatever reason http://www.backloggery.com/veiyr)
