They're competitive, so just about any speedrun is going to be highly skillbased (as long as it isn't too RNG heavy). Fun to watch... honestly, in my experience speedruns are a lot more fun when you understand the tricks they're pulling off, so I'd pick a game you've played, and ideally watch a summoning salt video on it first so you know what you're seeing.

Or if you mean GDQ runs specifically, basically any of the Super Mario Relays are great.

Hell yeah!! Congratulations. When I saw the list go out I made a comment about how excited I am to see this run just based on the game and time, so I'm doubly excited now to hear that you're the one running it.

I love Mr Gimmick speedruns because the star grinding looks cool as hell. I can only assume it’s very hard to pull off.

New Summoning Salt video just dropped, this time on the history of NES Tetris speedruns.

It's kind of insane just how much things escalated from the developer-intended "end" of the game.

Weird, I watched a long video on NEStris speedrunning a while ago and I'd have sworn it was him, but I guess it was someone else. It's a pretty wild run at any rate, for a game which at first glance looks like it doesn't have an end.

Found the Tetris video stuff I had seen in January on the NEStris killscreen (thank you Youtube history). Only 16 minutes, so easier to slot in as an appetiser for the 2h one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuJ5UuknsHU

I presume things have moved on since.
