Decided to start SpeedRunning with Psychonauts! Question for the group.

I've been wanting to get into speed running for a long time now and I'm ready to start. Was trying to decide between Mischief Makers or Psychonauts. I picked Psychonauts.

I have a quick question to start things off. Is there a preferred platform for download? I was going to just use steam, but I figured I'd ask in the forums before I do anything.

In the meantime, I'll be digging through the Guides, Resources and Forums in this section.

Thanks!

steam is fine. Watch Peach's beginner guide in the guides section. She goes over all the info you need to get started and she does a very good job of making the run easy to jump into. It's not the WR route, it cuts out a frame perfect trick at the end of the run and some of the more tricky strats to make it more beginner friendly. You can very easily transition into a more optimal route later if you want to.

Honestly this game is very beginner friendly and all the necessary strats are pretty easy. Really happy to see more people interested in the run!

also I'm not like suuuper good at the game or anything and you're probably better off asking one of the better runners but if you ever have any questions feel free to DM me on twitter or discord, I'm happy to help out as best as I can!

Benzene, thanks! Appreciate that information! Glad to hear that as well. Speedrunning does seem a little intimidating, I do think that picking a game I enjoy should help. It sounds like I picked the right game as well.

I definitely will!

Thanks again.

Is Xbox one accepted under the rank 101 category? I was wondering since any% and any% console are separate categories.

Thanks for any help you can give.
