Win losses

You know winning and losing doesn’t have to be what people think it is. Winning could be a whole spectrum of things. Victory could be completing a self-imposed challenge while losing could be not being able to do the self-imposed challenge.

 Speed runners are the master of this. They don’t just want to save the princes or the world, they want to do this as fast as possible. A speed runner, simply put is somebody who tries to complete a game as fast as possible. And a speed runner by definition is a player of a game who is trying win as fast as possible in whatever method or stipulation the speed runners want.  

Speed Runners will use methods that can take hours, days or even weeks to master but will only save a second of play time. Some may say this is absurd but the point of a speed run is not to beat the game quickly but to beat the game as quickly as possible. Doing all of these insane tricks is all part of the fun of speed running and that is what makes me respect speed runners.
