What is speedrunning?
Speedrunning is when an individual attempts to beat part or all of a video game as quickly as possible. This can include individual levels, specific objectives, or unique limitations as decided by the community or player. Players must master tricks, optimize movement, and react quickly to improve their times and try to move up the leaderboards or potentially hold a world record someday.
Why Speedrun?
Speedrunning is about community, competition and a desire to be better than you were the day before. Through the advent of websites like SRL and now RT.gg, runners are now able to compete not just against themselves, but against competitiors all around the world.
