I'd say, totally go for it! Go for the best times you can for speedrunning, I'm yet 14, and one of my speedruns (at the time I posted this) is already awaiting verification.
I recently quit speedrunning for a good year, but came back on it with New Super Mario Bros. 2 with Warpless as my category.
I look forward seeing myself and others on leaderboards, and I'll try my best to get the fastest time I can. (sounds kinda basic tbh).
I don't have much to say, so that's all.
Aw, that sucks, I guess. I don't have a capture card or anything, and my phone can't record the whole speedrun since it's an hour long.
I just finished speedrunning New Super Mario Bros. 2 on my 3DS, and posted times about when I beat bosses in Discord. I got the snip, but I'm afraid it won't get verified or looked after.
My end time was 1:39:55. I ended the time I was speedrunning right when I hit the switch. Any% run.
Also, can you post snips or ordinary pictures in these forums?
