About
Hi, I'm Pan (Stephen).
Right now I'm just a Metroid Prime speedrunner. I started learning Prime in early February of 2019 and started runs in March. I've been doing runs on and off since then. On February 1st, 2021 I became the 23rd person to complete Metroid Prime in under one hour.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any.
"FAQ"
Q: Does Pan mean anything?
A: It's a nickname my friend gave me
Q: No Facecam/mic?
A: Sometimes I stream without either depending on if i don't feel like it or other factors.
Q: Why Metroid Prime?
A: I played it a lot as a kid, and I wanted to learn how to speedrun. After I saw [Edzan's 100% TAS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAaUm_WldJE&t=2999s) (go watch it, it's sick) I became interested in running it, and eventually started learning it.
Q: Why not Metroid Prime Remastered?
A: The game physics are very different in the remaster. I recommend the game casually but it doesn't seem like a fun or rewarding speedrun. I may learn it in the future but I have no plans to atm.
Q: Are you going for WR?
A: Probably not.
Q: Do you plan on learning other categories/ speed games?
A: Eventually I might run Echoes, but I want to improve more in Prime 1 before I commit to that.
Q: How can I start speedrunning this game?
A: I highly recommend checking out the [Prime Speedrunning Discord](https://discord.gg/GPuf3Rx) for tutorials and resources. everyone I have met so far is very nice and supportive, so feel free to ask questions if you have any.
Q: Will you stream other games/not speedruns at some point?
A: Maybe?
