Bleed 2 is an absolutely perfect game to start getting into speedruns. Why, you may ask?

To start, there is no need for Menuing. At all.

There are no fancy glitches or out of bounds tricks to learn.

No boss fight skips to spend hours practicing.

Just straight gameplay. Speedrunners just play the game normally, but "Fast."

The game is easy to learn and hard to master, with a high skill ceiling. Bleed 2 already makes you feel super cool while playing casually. Just imagine how good it'd feel once you learn how to fully control the insanely fluid movement it has to offer.

Pair the game's perfect arcade-style length with multiple different playstyles, difficulties, and characters, and you've got yourself tons of variety to never burn out on.
