What's going on. This is my first attempt at speed running games since I started watching AGDQ since 2014. Been trying to think of a game to speed run, and the only one that wasn't a RPG that I would have to spend 5+ hours each run was my favorite game while growing up, Castlevania 4. I know there are a LOT of people who have been playing this game longer than I have that have 33 min runs that I'll never beat in the next 5 years, but I wanted to get started trying to do the whole speed run thing.
At the moment I'm aiming to beat the game at least once a day and see my progress just getting through it without dying, then move on to the more advanced things like glitches and damage boosting. Does anyone have any advice for someone new to speed running in general or for the game? I've watched a handful of speed runs done by different people, and that's really all I have to go off of. Also, if anyone knows where to find game specific advice for certain glitches, b/c I've watched people do some of them, but the explanations aren't the clearest of how to do them.
