Hello, I'm fairly new to speedruns but I'm currently learning bits and pieces here and there and was hoping to find personal tips and tricks from speedrunners when they first started out. I'm sure there's a topic of this somewhere and I've been overlooking it but still it's nice to have a starting point.

As for me personally, I'm just a box wearing goof getting into speedrunning just to get better at it, I've done 2 streams where I've played from the start to the end so far and I have to say they were the done badly since I wasn't speedrunning them. The first one (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity) lasted 29 hours and the newest one (Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart) lasted 11 hours which was yesterday. Let's just say I'm very terrible at speedruns right now lol.

In the end I just want to pull off speedruns while wearing a box on my head and nearly passing out from the heat.
