Speedruns are a battlefield, streaming is the crowd, so I treat it like a raid with a timer overlay for every split. I pre‑plan every move, practice the core loop until it’s muscle memory, and keep a joke or meme queued up for any hiccup. If a glitch hits, I turn it into a laugh track and still run the rest like clockwork. The secret sauce? Train both fingers and timing, stay on autopilot for the serious part, and let the chat fuel you with jokes while you hit those record splits.

Yeah, one run I was crushing every meter, clock ticking, and then a boss glitched—he spun and hit the ground twice, sending my combo timer all over the place. I almost froze and stared at the screen, but then I remembered the chat was chanting “Nice glitch!” So I laughed, kept my head in the game, and the split just got that extra 0.3 second of drama. It's all about staying in the zone, even when the chaos hits.
