Hello there!

My History with Rayman

I first played Rayman 1 (GBA) and Rayman 3 (GBA) on my Nintendo DS lite when I was four or five years old. I believe I couldn't get past the Blue Mountains in R1 but could defeat Grolgoth in R3GBA back then.

In 2016, I first got introduced to the Rayman community by stumbling upon a Twitch Stream by Thextera. I installed R1 on DOSbox and first beat the game then.

In 2017, I joined the Speedrunning Community and started to learn the speedrun for Rayman 1 (PC). After getting an okay run of a sub 1:30, I switched to the more popular PS1 version and started to stream my attempts too. After taking breaks here and there, I finally squeezed out a sub 1:20 in 2020.

Right after, I started to grind for the first ever No Hit Run of the PS1 version. Due to Mr. R already achieving such a run on the PC version two years prior and the support of the community on Twitch, I was able to achieve that goal in late 2020 :)

I also speedran Rayman 2 Forever as well as R3GBA in the past, and beat Rayman 2, Rayman 3, Rayman Legends and Rayman Redemption (a fangame by Ryemanni) casually somewhere down the line. As I enjoyed all of these games, my interest in the series is vast.

So I guess it's now time to wait for Rayman 4. Right, Murfy?
