Your experience doesn't invalidate mine. I watch speedrun events very often and and runners will say stuff "Im not really sure why he wants to kill us but skips the entire fight with clever use of game mechanics that was the boss fight!". Many of them did play the entire game without speedrunning at first, but many dont.

You're correct. I've watched many live speed runners mention that they only know how to speed run the game because they started playing the game with the intention of speed running it to begin with.

Thanks for confirming, I know it's true but it's funny seeing people downvote my comment as if there was an unspoken rule for speedrunners to experience the game in full before speedrunning
