**--__TytyKiller's Definitive Guide to Speedrunning(SSF HC)
I'm not TytyKiller, I'm just a humble fan of the sport. Back in October TytyKiller did a Hardcore SSF(Standard) speedrun of acts 1-10 in [2 hours and 10 minutes] after watching his run, I decided to make a step-by-step guide using his run. All information from this guide is from watching his run, featured here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srfn1qAQReY I watched and made this guide as it was occurring, as well as a PoB Tree(With segments, so you can view how he leveled per act.) This guide doesn't capture everything he does, but it captures most of it. I also list what level he is by the end of any given map(If he levels in the map) to give you an idea what level you should be for optimum experience gain. If your level is higher, you're going too slow. If your level is lower, you're not killing enough. Remaining 3-4 levels below Map monster level is key for optimizing your EXP gains so your damage/defense remains viable.

Sowwy T_T for any errors or mistakes, or lack of information. I tried my best and I hope what I have been able to gather is of great help to everyone. All credits goes to TytyKiller for such an amazing speedrun. Definitely watch the video before you read/use this guide, it'll make more sense. I initially made it for me alone to practice; however, I felt like I owed it to the community to share. Thanks for your time friends. "You're my Sword's canvas." ~Totes Adorbs.

Thanks for this mate . Its a big help .

This is a spicy writeup. Might need to do some dry runs of this before the new league hits to see how it feels.
Big props for the effort put in here dude. (And to tytykiller ofc) Souls along a conduit of blood, from one vessel to the next.

" Thanks chu Zion and Uce! <3 Good luck! "You're my Sword's canvas."
~Totes Adorbs. |

Good writeup. I'd be interested to see this for other classes as I don't think OOS will be as good in 3.9 and all the other speedruns are 1+year old for stuff like Sunder Marauder.

Good guide, helped me reach act 10 in 70 hours. Now i qualify for becoming an IGN reviewer :)

" You could be right, but I've never personally liked Melee myself T_T Always felt slow. "You're my Sword's canvas."
~Totes Adorbs. |

Yeah, I haven't played melee since Abyss (only restarted PoE in Synthesis) but I think I've created a non-cyclone build that's actually got decent clear. Levelling is a pain so I'd prefer to leaguestart with it rather than OOS and reroll but need a good leaguestart this time. Can't decide what to do lol

" Cosprii's Cyclone Cast on Crit Assassin? Always very fun. "You're my Sword's canvas."
