If I could throw in my two cents, I think that this is a perfect example of mastering game mechanics, rather then memorizing game patterns.
What are you talking about?

If Nyquil isn't meant to be abused, then why does it come with a shot glass?

Screw stigma about bumping, I'll do it anyway.

987 deaths and many swear words later...

Congrats! it took me over 1000 deaths to get my first win. I should install this game again... I have never beaten the speed run goal.

Well in most hard games, like say I want to be the guy, you have to memorize what happens, when, and where. You have to remember the pattern of the game, it never changes.
But Spelunky is always different. It's random, so instead of remembering the pattern of a specific room you have to learn the pattern of the jumps, the enemies, and such.

Also good job on winning!
