Easiest Rayman game to speedrun?

Post by EdgyRabbid »

Hello!

Im very new to speed running, i have been wanting to speedrun for a while.

So my question is, which game is easiest to speed run? Or is at least beginner level.

Are there also guides that i can note down?

Any and all help is useful!

(sorry if this post is against the rules, i just wanted an answer.)

Depends on what kinds of platformers your better at. If you're better at 3d platformers, then Rayman 2 and 3 will be easier. If you're better at 2d platformers, than Rayman 1 and the Ubiart games will be easier.

I'd recommend Rayman Origins to start then, as its movment is easier to get good at than Legends, can't speak for Rayman 1 as I've only played it once, and because im biased (I speedrun it myself :D).

I'd beat the game once at least, then focus on practicing levels and learning the routes. Not sure what the best way of practicing full game runs is tho, I do IL's. :|

Rayman Jungle run, Fiesta run, Adventures and Mini are easiest to speedrun since they are auto runners. If we’re talking actual games, probably legends or origins

Or I can suggest Rayman Revolution: with an Any% world record of 10m 34s, you won't waste a lot of time when restarting. :lol:
