Celeste Any% Speedrun in

27:2x is right around the corner.
This run got off to a not-so-great start but a really solid end-game balanced it out. This is WR for now :)

[@june_005]

To explain, TGH did a hyper dash to the left, then jumped right, Celeste for whatever reason allows you to change your direction on a dime with a jump, and maintain the dash momentum. Those moving blocks on ever move once you dash, so what happened was TGH got this momentum of the moving block and the reverse hyper dash, and flung himself across the room.
