Ruling the cosmos!
I'm using this post to gain knowledge for myself, but feel free to discuss this topic as you would like.
So when I learn a new speed game, I do it in a very segmented "one part to the next" fashion, I creat a save state before one room, play it, load the state, and constantly reprat until I feel comfortable with the room in question. I like this is one sense because you know when you are ready for each little part, so every bit of the run feels so much more refined. On the other hand, I find that when I learn a game in this fashion, I get tired really quickly, so I'm only able to learn maybe one level at a time for a day throughout a practice session of a couple hours or so. Then when I eventually come back to the game through my limited schedule, I always feel obligated to do a run of what I know to start up, refresh my memory and all, but then it comes to a point eventually as I do this, it comes to a point where that run will be most of my practice session, and I tire out much more quickly and don't have time to learn very much more of the game, and this just continues to get worse and worse until it's taken me several months to learn a 40 minute speed game. And that's how I how I do it, it has it's good sides, but some severe backdraws.
So I ask y'all, how do you learn your speed games? Why does your method shine? What would you recommend to people?
