Prime is a very demanding speedgame, but I'd say it's doable if you put in the effort and are willing to accept what will probably be a sub-par performance. The nice thing about Prime is that there are alternatives for LITERALLY EVERYTHING, which allows you to essentially make a customized route that fits your needs. Find IBBF too hard? Do the inbounds route. Having trouble with Early Wild? Do the floaty jump method. Can't do Spiderless? Just get Spider Ball. etc etc.
Sure, alternatives are usually slower, but optimizing your movement is by far the most important thing when speedrunning these games. The harder strats can always come later when you feel like you're ready for them, but the only way to improve your movement is to keep doing runs/practicing.
Don't bother with IBBF. It's not worth it when starting out, ESPECIALLY when going for the 12 hour challenge.
