SpeedRunners 2 Community Reddit

The SpeedRunners Reddit community is one of the oldest platformer communities online. The community has been active since the original SpeedRunners 2016 release and has grown alongside the sequel. This page covers the relevant subreddits, what content works in each, and how to use Reddit to find players, share replays, and follow patch notes.

Relevant subreddits

• r/SpeedRunners — the original subreddit, active since 2016. Covers both SpeedRunners 1 and SpeedRunners 2.
• r/SpeedRunners2 (if active at launch) — the sequel-focused subreddit. If inactive, the main r/SpeedRunners handles both.
• r/IndieGaming — broader indie game community. SpeedRunners 2 launch posts appear here.
• r/CompetitiveGames — competitive game discussion. SpeedRunners 2 tournament posts appear here.

Subreddit rules

Each subreddit has its own rules. Common rules across the SpeedRunners subreddits:

1. No cheating discussion — exploits and cheat-engine posts are removed.
2. No doxxing or personal attacks — strict moderation.
3. Use megathreads for patch notes and tech support — standalone posts get removed.
4. Tag spoilers — some content requires spoiler tags.

Game-finding posts

Game-finding posts (“LFG”) are common in r/SpeedRunners. The format:

• Title: “[LFG] [Platform] [Region] [Skill] [Time]”
• Body: brief description of what you want to play and your timezone

Reply to existing posts if you fit. The Community Discord is faster for LFG; Reddit is for slower, more reflective posts.

Strategy posts

Strategy posts are popular on r/SpeedRunners. Common topics:

• Wall jump chains on specific maps
• Item rotation strategies
• Character-specific tips
• Counter-strategies against common tactics

The Wall Jumping, Items Strategy, and Advanced Tech pages cover the same topics with citations.

Patch-note megathreads

Major patches get megathreads on r/SpeedRunners. The megathread format:

• Top comment: official patch notes
• Comment threads: community discussion, balance opinions, bug reports
• Pinned comment: link to the dev blog

The What’s New page covers the most recent confirmed updates.

Replay-sharing

Reddit supports video uploads. Common replay-sharing formats:

• Title: “[Clip] [Map] [Outcome] [Length]”
• Body: short description of the play, link to the full VOD if applicable

The community upvotes clean plays and downvotes panic plays. The Items Strategy page covers the difference.

Tournament announcements

Tournament hosts post in r/SpeedRunners and r/CompetitiveGames. The format:

• Title: “[Tournament] [Name] [Date] [Format] [Prize]”
• Body: rules, signup link, schedule

The Tournament Mode page covers the in-lobby flow. The Tournament Prep page covers the prep cycle.

Bug reports

Bug reports should go to:

1. The SpeedRunners Discord Tech Support channel first — fastest response from Fair Play Labs staff.
2. The Steam Discussions page second — official support queue.
3. r/SpeedRunners third — community discussion, but not the fastest path to a fix.

Reddit flair

Most SpeedRunners subreddits use post flair. Common flairs:

• Discussion — general talk
• Tip — strategy advice
• Clip — replay
• LFG — looking for group
• Bug — bug report
• Meme — humour
• News — official announcements

Use the right flair to avoid post removal.

Posting etiquette

The Reddit community is generally welcoming to newcomers. The etiquette:

1. Search before posting. Many questions are answered in existing threads.
2. Use megathreads for patch notes. Standalone patch-note posts get removed.
3. Title your posts clearly. “[Tip] How to chain wall jumps on SpeedForce” beats “wall jump help”.
4. Cite your sources. If you are posting a strategy, link to a video or replay.
5. Accept criticism. The community will downvote bad advice. Take the feedback.
