Featured Runs of the Week
Week 17 brought some truly spectacular performances to the forefront. While it’s impossible to cover every single amazing run, here are a few that caught our eye and are definitely worth checking out.

Tips and Tricks
For aspiring speedrunners looking to set their first
PB or even contend for a
World Record, remember these core principles:
* **Master the Fundamentals**: Before attempting complex
glitches or
skips, ensure you have a solid grasp of the game's core mechanics. Consistent movement and control are paramount.
* **Study the Best**: Watch top runners in your chosen game and category. Analyze their routes, their execution, and how they handle different situations. This is invaluable for learning advanced
strats.
* **Practice Consistently**: Speedrunning requires muscle memory and deep familiarity. Dedicate regular time to practicing specific sections or the entire run. Break down difficult segments and practice them in isolation.
* **Understand RNG**: Many runs involve elements of Random Number Generation (
RNG). Learn how to manage or adapt to good and bad
RNG. Sometimes, a good run requires accepting slightly unfavorable
RNG and still performing well.
* **Join the Community**: Engage with other runners on Discord, forums, or Twitch. Sharing knowledge and getting feedback can significantly accelerate your progress.
Patience and persistence are key. Every attempt, even failed ones, contributes to your learning and eventual success.
