[@JM-us3fr]

@@thediscordmemer5851 The skill jump is huge in Celeste. If you practice the movements tricks and speed strats even a little, you become way faster than a novice. Also, the extra content after beating the game (such as the core, the B sides, the C sides, and the DLC) teach you many of these tricks and test you on them as well.

when you speedrun this game it can be frustrating that is until you FLY through the levels MAN it feels good

[@ToyKeeper]

Celeste is the single most enjoyable speedrunning game I've ever played. It just feels soooo good to play.

Watching these speedrunners, I actually feel like I could beat them in a Celeste race (but only cause they don’t know wavedashing lol)

[@ToyKeeper]

Right? It's so strange to see top speedrunners going slower than me. And not just because of wavedashing. I've done the beginning of this game faster than these guys... _while blindfolded._ If you've never done an audio-only run, I recommend trying at least the first stage. Just get some headphones and turn off the music so you can hear sound effects better. It's crazy how good the sound design is.

[@griled_chez647]

I don’t know if you would do this again, but if there is another Celeste speedrun video, you could use a mod called celestenet. It’s a mod which basically makes Celeste a multiplayer game, where you can see everyone who is also on celestenet play the same level as you. It would help make the video a lot less choppy and it would be cool to have one screen and compare each runner to each other.

[@Sykale]

CELESTE This is game is really good, not only because of its great mechanics, but also because of this story. Celeste story is a simple one, I connected with it really well and it helped me through certain key moments in my life. I am currently mid Farewell, after completing all of the C sides. The difficulty in this game is through the roof. Know that the way is long, but completely worth it. Please do more! ✨

[@mediocrates34]

Good luck with Farewell

[@thejoeyguy_]

Same! I’m stuck on the last room, it takes several minutes and it sucks

[@royceblack6752]

Wait a minute. There definitely were a few C Side screens that are much harder than the farewell screens in my opinion. Even if I consider the jellyvator skip

[@b4ube]

Do check out some mods after you're done with Farewell! I especially recommend Glyph, which is visually stunning and has great gameplay, and the Spring Collab collective mod, which has levels of different difficulties ranging all the way from beginner (think 1A) to grandmaster (think Farewell, but every room requires multiple pixel and/or frame perfect inputs) to everything in between. Celeste has a great modding community.

[@yeahme437]

HI GUYS HERES HOW UNCAPPED SPEED WORKS IN CELESTE IN A VERY SIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION! normally, your speed increases dramatically with a dash, and immediately falls off as soon as the dash ends however when moving downward and diagonally your speed does not get reset after your dash, it instead decays at a normal rate if you have proper momentum and you can get a bunny hop out of a high speed movement tech, you can dash down diagonal to retain your speed and get a stacking 1.2x multiplier to your overall speed. this is called an ultra! normal speed tech is to wavedash or hyperdash, usually with extensions. dashing down diagonal into the ground and jumping before your dash ends makes you go nyoom. to be precise, there is a five frame window to retain your dash after a hyper or wavedash usually out of a hyper or wavedash, if they have the speed, runners go for ultras to skip entire rooms-- theres an additional way to land an ultra, called a delayed ultra, but i dont know if humans do that. if you dash into a corner and jump just before connecting, even without proper vertical berth to do an ultra, you can get the 1.2x multiplier from the ultra. its very cool basically madeline go zoom

[@yeahme437]

as for the stamina-less/fast climbing kosmic mentioned, theres both wallbounces and wall boosts. the first is simple, dashing up against a wall and pressing jump multiplies the speed and distance, allowing some obstacles to be skipped entirely (notably used to skip berry rooms in chapter 3 during a screen transition). This becomes an official mechanic is chapter 7 b side wall boosting is weird and im not good at it, but basically if you jump away from the wall after a sequence of fast wall climbs, the game refunds the stamina, assuming all those wall climbs were meant to be jumping away, which does not consume stamina for longer distances or walls that arent normally climable, there are neutral climbs, which are just only pressing jump while touching the wall before drifting back in, no grabbing or anything. this costs no stamina, goes farther, but isnt as fast as wall boosting or other tech wall boosting and neutral climbs are very useful in the final room of chapter one, allowing you to skip the moving blocks and instead climb up the left side of the room. cool!

[@yeahme437]

Also worth noting! ultra momentum carries on diagonal upward dashes, too, but unlike normal ultras, the momentum dies instantly, like a normal dash

[@yeahme437]

also hyper bunny hops exist.
