FAQ:
Q - What platform are you playing on?
A - PC. I have this game on Steam.
Q - What controller are you using?
A - A classic NES brick.
Q - Why don't you do [insert idea here] instead?
A - I'm a total noob; this was my first session and I hadn't studied much of any gameplay before this.
Q - What's the point of this?
A - Speedrunning is a fun and extremely challenging way of adding replay value to your all-time favorite games, or any game at all! The first time I tried speedrunning River City Ransom EX (GBA) in 2015, no speedruns existed on the official speedrun.com leaderboards, so I had to create the page myself. I left it for years and forgot all about it. Then Redd92 beat my world record, and once I found out, I felt a brand new competitive fire! It motivated me to create entirely new routes for categories in that game, so I could experience new challenges with one of my favorite games ever. It's been indescribable fun, and triumphing over the game after it beats you down feels absolutely otherwordly. River City Ransom (NES) also has a lot of speedrunning history, so climbing the ranks in that game felt incredibly special, especially because it was the first video game I ever played.
