Hey, i am new to the speedrunning (although i am watching a lot of them over the last year). I wanted to start with one of my favourite games - Dark Souls. But i have some troubles starting. Should i just go for it and time my run and then try to tweak it or should i imediatly start with some of the harder skips and try them until i can execute them perfectly? Sorry if this is a question you guys read a lot. It may help, if you can provide a link with an answer, how to start speedrunning https://vidmate.onl/ https://mobdro.onl/
Tbh you can only answer this yourself: how do you think you'd do better? Have you looked at the speedruns? When I learn a new run I usually take my time looking at a run and trying to replicate the things in it in segments. This way I get a feeling if a trick is hard or easy. Quite soon I start with runs of the game without much practise and mostly do the tricks that I found easy and/or ones that I still remember during the run. And then the grind starts learning the harder tricks one by one till I feel comfortable with my run.
