Only to the extent they can't skip them which they're always rigorously trying to do. If you watch them try to do randomizers with a set of items they're not used to they fumble on mechanics constantly.
depends on the game
super mario bros players and mario 64 players are extremely good at them
ctr speedrunners are also extremely good
morrowind speedrunners just skip the entire game so there's no evidence they're actually good
they aren't good at video games, they're good at playing a particular video game in a very specific way because they've spent 10,000 hours playing it that way over and over
I watched a lot of hitman speedruns
and they found the most streamlined route.
hitman is a game where you explore many options.
if you don't play the game normally and make mistakes, you might be missing out on a large portion of content.
An extreme example is someone finishing morrowind in 5 minutes when there easily 50 hours of gameplay in there.
they aren't good they can just play the game really fast
does making breakfast as fast as possible make it good?
this is a moronic comparison, speedrunners have to be incredibly in tune with the mechanics of the game they play and know them inside and out

works for me!
Is Forbidden Memories fun to speedrun? Been thinking about learning it since I like Yugioh games.
it's all RNG, so it's among the most frustrating speedruns
their not that good at games in general
I am a speedrunner and I fricking suck at games
Anon, you play games for fun and games you should get good at are not the ones that ought to be speedrunned
and that's a good thing
