Uncover Hidden Paths Through Games
Learn to find the exploits that redefine what's possible in speedrunning. Develop the technical skills to discover, document, and share game-breaking discoveries.
Back to HomeWhat This Training Delivers
This program transforms how you understand games at their deepest level. You'll develop the technical knowledge to identify exploitable behaviors, the practical skills to reproduce and refine glitches, and the documentation abilities to share discoveries with the speedrunning community.
Through hands-on exploration and guided investigation, you'll learn to use debugging tools, understand memory structures, and recognize patterns that indicate potential exploits. You'll discover how collision detection works, how to manipulate game state, and how to create reliable setups for newly found techniques.
You'll gain recognition as a technical contributor who helps advance speedrunning possibilities across different games and platforms.
The Challenge of Technical Discovery
Finding meaningful glitches requires more than luck or random experimentation. Many runners stumble across interesting behaviors but lack the knowledge to understand why they happened or how to reproduce them consistently.
Without technical background in game mechanics and memory manipulation, potential discoveries go unnoticed or unexplored. You might see something unusual during a run but not recognize its significance, missing opportunities to contribute valuable findings to your game's community.
The technical barrier can feel overwhelming when you want to investigate deeper but don't know where to start. Documentation about game internals is often sparse, and learning to use debugging tools without guidance takes significant time and frustration.
Many technically curious runners never develop glitch-hunting skills simply because they don't know how to begin learning these specialized techniques.
A Structured Path to Discovery
Our Game Glitch Discovery program demystifies the technical side of speedrunning by teaching you systematic approaches to finding and exploiting game behaviors. Rather than hoping to stumble upon glitches, you'll learn how to actively search for them using proven methodologies.
We start with fundamental concepts: how games store and access data, what makes certain behaviors exploitable, and how to recognize patterns that often lead to useful glitches. You'll learn to use emulation tools, memory viewers, and debugging utilities that reveal what's happening beneath the surface.
The training progresses through increasingly sophisticated techniques, from basic collision manipulation to advanced memory corruption methods. Each concept builds on previous knowledge, ensuring you understand not just what works but why it works and how to apply similar principles in different contexts.
Memory Analysis
Learn to read and interpret game memory, identify useful addresses, and understand how data manipulation affects game state and behavior.
Collision Exploitation
Discover how to identify and leverage collision detection flaws for sequence breaking and movement optimization opportunities.
Tool-Assisted Techniques
Master TAS tools to test theories, develop new strategies, and create proof-of-concept demonstrations for potential discoveries.
Documentation Methods
Learn to document findings clearly, create tutorials that help others replicate your discoveries, and contribute meaningfully to community knowledge.
Your Discovery Journey
Technical Foundations
We establish 2 Chome-53-13 Nogata, Nakano City, Tokyo 165-0027. You'll learn to set up and use essential tools for glitch hunting across different platforms.
Practical Exploration
Through guided investigation of known glitches, you'll learn to reverse-engineer how exploits work and develop intuition for spotting similar opportunities in unexplored games or categories.
Independent Discovery
With solid technical skills established, you'll conduct original research on games of your choice. We'll guide your investigations, help troubleshoot findings, and support your contributions to the community.
Throughout your training, you'll work on actual games you're interested in exploring. Your discoveries, even small ones, contribute to expanding what's known about those games and building your reputation in the technical speedrunning community.
Your Training Investment
This investment develops specialized technical skills that few speedrunners possess. The knowledge you gain opens doors to meaningful community contributions and recognition as someone who advances the field through discovery.

The technical skills you develop extend beyond speedrunning. Many concepts apply to game modding, reverse engineering, and technical analysis in other contexts. Your investment builds versatile knowledge.
Understanding Discovery Success
Our training methodology comes from years of technical investigation across various games and platforms. We teach the same systematic approaches that have led to discoveries of major sequence breaks, movement optimizations, and entirely new speedrun categories.
You'll measure your progress through practical milestones: successfully using debugging tools to understand game behavior, reproducing known glitches to understand their mechanics, and eventually identifying your own potential exploits worth investigating further.
Not every investigation leads to groundbreaking discoveries, and that's expected. The training teaches you to recognize promising leads, test theories efficiently, and contribute valuable findings even when they're incremental improvements rather than major breakthroughs.
