Celeste: MOCE // LXVI - Golden Strawberry

lolxdvi
map: gamebanana.com...
done on a private version with a golden berry added specifically given to me by the map creator, Isabelle. when i goldened this Isabelle then fixed the golden color grade not working, reworked the golden ending sequence a bit, made it impossible to die in the heart room, and uploaded that version as an update.
difficulty opinion: rank 3 low t0, definitely seems easier than o7d1dg to me.
its pretty funny this map is the second hardest map cleared right now but is only a top 3 golden. the combination of being short and well made causes this to just not beat out both other t0's that have been done.
the final room in this map is still one of the hardest rooms to have been cleared and even took me 20 hours to clear originally but its simply just too fair to make the golden be as hard as people thought it was. like i thought this was the hardest available but still viable golden for a while, thinking it was tX and harder than 9dp but no lmao its rank 3 not even harder than o7d1dg lmao laugh at this user :funwa
time: 126h across two save files, counting everything from start of clear to end of golden excluding bug testing.
final 97 hours were from the goldening effort which started on like the 2nd of august, the rest of the time was spread out from before then and since i cleared the map originally which was on the 10th of november last year.
^ holy shit i have missed how awful this miscommunication is for way too damn long, the final 97 hours were POST CLEAR TIME but the FULL, SERIOUS GOLDEN GRIND ATTEMPTS FOR THE FINAL TIME STARTED AUGUST 2ND, there was a lot of time between those two eras, which was were things like the 15 death came from, and i think brought me up to around 70 hours in the map before the actual golden push. sorry for making myself seem way cooler than i am for so long holy shit
5 deaths to venus, all were at the start to 4/5 stupid shit. im so fucking happy i never died past first third holy shit

HOYL SHIT CLATRNOS. I was really not expecting such an insane achievement but here we are once again. To even beat this map u must show multiple skills such as skill. Dedication. And passion and you have shown all of these to the highest levels. I am truly proud of you and the double planets are also super proud of you. We at DV hope you enjoyed your stay with this map and look forward to your next achievement . Congrats and GG clarneos

[@realtag846]

Your insane dude

[@PretzelBS]

I need a frame perfect counter this is insane

[@clantis247]

there are no frame perfects in the MOCE series, which is one of the main design points of the gameplay. the creator had a rule for LXVI that no timing can be less than 3 frames lenient. celeste has a capped framerate of 60fps, so that's 1/20th of a second. one of the ways that the map achieves this is using the freeze frame effect when touching a crystal refill, the game pauses for 3 frames when touching a crystal refill as a visual effect, but inputting in this period will not void inputs and will apply at the end of the freeze frames, allowing the creator to put a freeze frame on an otherwise 1 frame timing to make it a 3 frame timing instead. so if an input looks frame perfect, look if it happens on a crystal refill, because that means its a 3 frame. i don't know if the 3 frame minimum rule applies to CPVL as well because it actually has a few 2 frames scattered about and i don't know if those were unintentional. this is a lot of the reason that LXVI has a reputation for being completely skill based and consistent despite being hard enough to currently qualify as the second hardest map, being behind Dashless+ which is basically specifically designed to be hard by being unfair. there is ONE unintentional 2 frame timing in LXVI that i know of, but its purely accidental, and there are no unintentional 1 frame timings.

[@PretzelBS]

@@clantis247 oh wow that’s super cool how it was designed for no frame perfects. That must have taken a long time and shows how much care was put into this map

[@clantis247]

​@@PretzelBS ok correction apparently refill timings are actually 4 frames of true leniency and i have been consistently misinformed for the last year, what the hell

Now I’m curious. Is this harder than tidal wave?

[@krzysiekee]

Tidal wave may refer to: Seas and oceans edit A tidal bore, which is a large movement of water formed by the funnelling of the incoming tide into a river or narrow bay A storm surge, or tidal surge, which can cause waves that breach flood defences A tsunami, a series of water waves in a body of water caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, although this usage of "tidal wave" is a misnomer and is disfavored by the scientific community. A megatsunami, which is an informal term to describe a tsunami that has initial wave heights that are much larger than normal tsunamis The crest (physics) of a tide as it moves around the Earth A tidal bore,[1] often simply given as bore in context, is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travels up a river or narrow bay, reversing the direction of the river or bay's current. It is a strong tide that pushes up the river, against the current. A storm surge, storm flood, tidal surge, or storm tide is a coastal flood or tsunami-like phenomenon of rising water commonly associated with low-pressure weather systems, such as cyclones. It is measured as the rise in water level above the normal tidal level, and does not include waves.[1] A tsunami (/(t)suːˈnɑːmi, (t)sʊˈ-/ (t)soo-NAH-mee, (t)suu-;[1][2][3][4] from Japanese: 津波, lit. 'harbour wave',[5] pronounced [tsɯnami]) is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.[6] Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are in turn generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water from a large event. A Crest point on a wave is the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point in a cycle.

yes this is harder than tidal wave blindfolded while doing a handstand however if tidal wave had specifically one more triple spike at the end then this wouldnt be harder anymore

[@meta04]

would the room 3 fix push it down to tier 1?

[@clantis247]

probably not that far but its hard to tell how much of an effect it actually has actually edit it definitely wouldn't, it can only do that if you use some specific golden difficulty definitions that exclude clears or early learning processes. i had like 70h in this before i stopped playing until starting the golden, and i got like a 15 death in that time, which is significantly harder than 9bb as i got the entire golden in 60h while being delayed 30 entire hours due to bad luck.
