videojuoksuun

Videojuoksuun is a Finnish term that translates to "video running" or "video race." It refers to a form of competitive video gaming where players race through a game level or a series of levels as quickly as possible. The primary goal is to achieve the fastest completion time, often referred to as a "speedrun."

Videojuoksuun is a popular subgenre within the speedrunning community. Players meticulously study game mechanics, level design, and enemy patterns to identify the most efficient routes and exploit glitches or shortcuts. The practice often involves extensive practice and repetition to master precise movements and timings.

Competitions in videojuoksuun can range from informal online challenges to organized events with leaderboards and prizes. Players often share their runs on video platforms like YouTube and Twitch, allowing others to learn from their strategies and witness impressive feats of skill. The community thrives on collaboration, with players often sharing tips and discoveries to improve collective performance. While many speedruns aim for any% completion (finishing the game as fast as possible, regardless of other objectives), there are also categories like 100% (completing all in-game objectives) that offer different challenges.
