Hello all! I'm still dipping my toes into speedrunning. Is this a good run for a beginner? Are there any resources for learning besides the VODs? Thanks for any input you can give!
If you're looking at getting into speedrunning with a W&W game I'd really recommend starting with the first game any%. It's got infinite continues, almost all terrible RNG is in the first level, and there's some good video guides from DarkTerrex.
Ironsword isn't toooo bad for the first three worlds. The glitches are relatively easy and the route is simple. The problem is the last few stages you lose all continues and some monsters can basically one shot you. Also the last boss is a real runkiller.
I'll agree with everyone else - this game is absolutely brutal for the final few stages alone. Heck, even casually, I still cannot beat the final boss consistently, it's a nightmare!
The first game might be a better pick, or really, many other games on the console!
