In this video, we'll be exploring 9 tricks, ideas, and changes that saved their respective speedruns from death. Saving a speedrun oftentimes means making the run more enjoyable for everyone playing it, but can sometimes be as literal as reviving the community from an active playerbase of 0. This video covers a wide variety of games, from Playstation to PC to Nintendo. I hope this video inspires some of you to pick up these games and try them out yourselves!
This is the spiritual sequel to my previous video on 8 speedruns that have been completely ruined. I put in much more research this time around and worked even harder on this video than I did the first time around. Let me know if you have any constructive feedback on this video! I hope you enjoy it.
