Wow, you really just condensed a year and a half of hanging out in celestecord into 90 minutes. Amazing video.

[@Tiyo98]

I'm watching....

[@silphv]

I'm so sorry Tiyo.

[@Arcanilumia]

I've recently gotten back into speedrunning this game after 2 years of dropping the game, and I have to say, this is by far the single most comprehensive and high quality guide series I have EVER seen for any game. This genuinely makes me think that with enough practice, I can maybe begin to compete with some of the top players. Thank you so much for making these videos!!

[@Aimee_mrrow]

56:17 really really well explained room!! before the explanation i was scared but after it its actually really easy for my skill level :3 (i am grandmaster+1)

[@Misty_FT]

4 months later and I finally got sub-35! Thanks for these incredible guides, couldn't do it without them

[@Iegendofthegame]

welp finished once time to watch it 100 more times. Thank you❤

[@CelestialStrawberriesYT]

Haha true

[@AmberSixtyFour]

amazing video! my pb is already 33:20 but these optimizations will be so helpful for my sub-30 push! my previous resource was just watching a ton of other people's speedruns, this is -super- hyper helpful!!

[@thalant2723]

Finally finished watching and I can say without a doubt this is the new best "git gud" speedrunning guide for Celeste. These series do a fantastic job in progressing from entry level to fully fledged speedrunner, and it does in only 4 videos (counting the mechanics one), while managing to be entertaining all the way through. And hey, it's not me saying this, it's all the people you have helped over these years rightfully praising you for it. Looking forward to the sub 30 guide, but for now, enjoy this success :)

[@AverageImposter]

Thank you SO so so so goddamn much, Thalant. This means the world to me. And you’ve been such an incredible help in making this series what it is today ❤️

[@treytraytruy6592]

I have been waiting on this FOR YEARS

[@brunovilasb]

sub 30 on 2026 now

[@SebrinaTheSun]

I don't normally comment, but I wanted to express how much this series of videos has been helpful. My first run ever was a 1:36:xx, but over the last 8 months I've pushed all the way to a 42:xx. Thank you so much for all of this. These are such high quality and are so helpful. Not to mention that they're genuinely fun to watch! I'm looking forward to the sub 30 guide :)

[@SebrinaTheSun]

got the sub 40 today :D

[@yujene]

congrats on getting this video out and nice edits glad to see majority of the fixes turned out well

[@silphv]

Amazing. I can't believe how much work you're putting into these. Even just collecting and refining all the strats for all these thresholds is a lot, the editing is great, they're legitimately funny, but on top of that you've got a whole pedagogical approach that we can see unfolding over this series you started more than 2 years ago and it still feels like the same planned progression you set out to create. I've done a little teaching work, enough to know that writing any kind of learning materials that are actually effective is really (really) hard, writing new materials and making them feel consistent with exisitng ones is even harder, and getting them right on the first iteration seems close to impossible, and you're here putting out a whole curriculum, one by one, that somehow already feels polished. I think it's also so valuable how much attention you give to things like how to practice effectively, how to decide what's worth putting time into and in general just how to manage your damn emotions so you can practice well and then do the thing you practiced. That's where the magic is in teaching, and as I get closer to the 30 threshold I see those becoming the primary obstacles (or tools) for getting better, more than learning this or that strat. Looking forward to what you put out next.

[@AverageImposter]

I’ve read this comment multiple times in the last week trying to figure out how to accurately give my thanks to such praise in just a KZbin comment. Genuinely, this is so impactful and means a lot to me. My whole goal with this series has been to deliver information in a digestible way for a game I really love. So seeing a comment like this really makes my whole world. Thank you so much. This kind of support is invaluable and gives me a ton of motivation to keep producing more content like this. You’ll smash that sub 30 barrier, I know it. Thank you again for such a heartfelt comment, it’s made my whole week ❤️

[@henkspreeuw]

I love how this guide is twice the length of the time we are trying to beat. Thank you!!

[@atuliyengar9638]

Finally, a worthy guide. My improvement will be LEGENDARY!

[@ryansliwinski]

wow man that was well worth the wait. its very obvious you put a shit ton of time and effort into this. thank you. ill definitely be back a couple hundred more times as i practice (especially for the 5b strats )

[@AverageImposter]

Thank you so much!! yeeeeeeeea 5b is definitely just a constant grind, but you can do it!

[@arduino8919]

I was waiting for this. Thank you very much and GL everyone getting your sub 40. Love this community ❤️

[@Trees7420]

Most underrated youtuber on the planet

[@AverageImposter]

😭

[@FinnStrike]

I've waited so long for this video and it's everything I hoped it would be and more! I can't wait to start practicing ultras and cornerboosts and start smashing my PB time!

[@lessercrow]

Just got my first 37. The grind continues.

[@shadowdemonaer]

At some point while playing Celeste, the floor apparently becomes optional

[@schmorman773]

Havent ran Celeste in a while and im also never ever planing on aiming for a sub 40, but this video was still a great watch. Super nice watch, thank you for all the efford!

[@taobiaci4027]

finally a good level speedrun video its so usefull you are a legend

[@tysufa]

Thank you sooooooo much for those videos, I would have never go so far in celeste speedruning if they were not there !!!!!

[@expensivecrayon]

these videos are an incredible resource to the community and anyone interested in running this game

[@Vonek]

Best video for learning how to speedrun. Love it

[@csmhpiano5193]

Without a doubt one of the best speedrun tutorial of any game on youtube so far. Entertaining, informative, concise, and entertaining. I won't be surprised if there are many more Celeste speedrunners in the future thanks to the existents of video guides like these. I for one has certainly joined in thanks to it and loving the ride so far :3 I seriously can't thank you enough for your hard work! Those subscriber goals are a matter of time now with high-quality videos such as these!

[@LunaLuminary]

I have no intention of speedrunning Celeste but I just find learning about it super interesting

[@CelestialStrawberriesYT]

I’ve been waiting for so long, so glad it’s finally here. Thanks for all the help, this got me into Celeste speedrunning in the first place!

[@Mewter_YT]

Good job man! That video was definitely worth the wait and still good job for editing a video that is 1 and a half hours long OH MY GO-. Still thank you so much for these videos because they have helped me and so many people get into Celeste speedrunning and also get me my first sub 50.

[@Ampharite]

Very happy to see you back with another great guide!! Thank you for the very in depth tutorial on sub 40!

[@GDANARCHY]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS HELL YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH, youve been massive help in getting me to a sub 50, its time to shoot for 40

[@ExzaktVid]

No, I am not ready, I have only beat this game once and it took me almost 8 hours, but theyre fun to watch so I shall continue anyway!

[@moody1337]

Finally another peak guide

[@Semyazi]

LET'S GOOOOO! tysm for making these :)

[@isabellaokeefe6358]

Really great job dude! Very cool! 💖

[@gabrielpicanco9658]

Commenting to help with the algorithm :) I'll watch and re-watch this for dozens of hours while I practice. Thanks for the amazing guide!

[@Ninthalias1]

So glad you had this released! I know it was a TON of work. Great job! Can't wait for more.

[@JinGaster]

WOAH! this looks really well done!! though i'm not a speedrunner, i can tell this video will help out a lot of people who want to be, congrats on making this!!!

[@moncefgaming1372]

Time to start grinding the last 4 and a half minutes remaining to sub 30 with this video! ❤

[@Zeurunix]

Your guides have given me a ton of help in my runs. Thank you.

[@smaster9758]

Banger video man, ggs

[@wibs20]

awesome video, lots of great insights. thanks for putting it together!

[@albiecatt]

Yooo this video arrive in the perfect time for me. One of my goals of this year is get a sub 40. My pb is 41:47, im really close and my sum of bests is already 39, but i know i have to get an actual improve and not only trust in my current abilities which are mostly casual strats. Thanks!

[@xijnin]

I finally got it, thx br My pb is now: 38:14:150

[@spitfyre8688]

Tbh, I've been stuck trying for sub 45 for so long, here's hoping for this guide to be by breakthrough like the last two!!

[@TopologyGoddess]

Amazing video (: I'm excited to learn from this before pushing for 34 and beyond.

[@Thomas-sk2ro]

I cannot BELIEVE how much quality is in this video! For 1h30, this is litterally thousands hours to practice

[@lessercrow]

AverageImpostor is quickly becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs. Super excited to hear there will be more videos this year! (Even if sub 30 takes some time)

[@Second_ace]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Watching it gave me the Strats and motivation to finally reach my goal of SUB 35. I truly think I wouldn't have been able to do it without the massive help this series has been. Thank you for your help and I hope to see more content from you in the future.

[@clay112]

PERFECT TIMING THANK YOU!!!

[@pazuimusic]

Ahah sometimes there are signs in life : I started to speedrun Celeste a year ago, thanks to your first 3 videos on the subject (and some other videos reaally less clear than yours). Arriving at a pb of about 48min I stopped. But recently, I decided to get back to it after about 6 months of break, to reach the 40min mark. I checked and noticed like a week ago that your video on the subject was not released during my break, and now it comes out ! Naah this definitely can’t be a coincidence… 😌 Anyway, thank you so much for those videos, they are complete, crystal clear, and gave me motivation to go beyond my limits and improve ❤

[@Second_ace]

I can't imagine how much work you must have put in this series, but it is honestly invaluable for small speedrunners like me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making Celeste speed run this easily accessible.

[@AverageImposter]

Oh goodness thank you so much for watching 🥺 I’m just so glad that the work put in is helping to make a difference in approaching Celeste speedrunning

[@Lucario445MC]

I'm so glad I found this. I've been delaying a donation goal that was met during a caritative stream I was participating in, which is place in the top 100 any% runs. I wanted to push myself, but didn't know where to start, and where exactly to get the guides and setups I'd need to achieve that. Top 100 is currently sitting at basically sub 29, so that's still an insane time to beat and effort to be put in practice, but I feel a boost in motivation after seeing this very well put guide, knowing that there are still harder, but also faster strats out there to learn. Thank you for making these guides

[@devilbob]

Finally managed to sub 40... Now I can watch this video and compare my routs with optimal ones =3

[@moomoo-jt8yq]

This came out at the perfect time I am at a 36:15 and I think I am ready to move on from the sub 50 video. Thank you for making these they are super helpful!!

[@yourlocalfemboywastaken]

me: wow this is a cool video with cool graphics and a cool script, wow this dude must have a billion subs. *checks subs* me: humanity has failed.

[@AverageImposter]

😭 maybe one day, I’ll keep pushing til we get there!! Thank you so much!!

[@CelestialStrawberriesYT]

I love that one strat (not mentioned in this vid but this vid made me remember it) where in the room with the ‘dust bunny from hell’ in 1500M you start with a reverse wavedash then demo through the bunnies. It’s so fun, and I hope it gets implemented in the sub 30 guide

[@AverageImposter]

Oh yea you’ll DEFINITELY see it in sub 30, don’t ya worry 😬

[@thomasdagino2366]

31:15 My personal solution : extended hyper instead of super, then do one climb jump before dashing up, much safer

[@SplodZ]

bro now i need to learn summit

[@BWithey-1]

I started my speedrunning journey into celeste about a year and a half ago and your first couple videos helped a huge amount. I'm glad that you put out a new one with the pace I'm looking to get to now. my pb is a 40:27 all I need to do is clean up the deaths and I've finally got it!

[@clay112]

I just got a sub 50 recently it is, very awesome to have a new next step!

[@Dr.Purple01]

My favorite part was when I was in the video. 3:53

[@ThreeletterIGN]

I was there too :D

[@anholer3947]

amazing video. Keep up the great work

[@JesusMartiinez1603]

Ive been running celeste for a week now and I got 41:49 already, im probably going to start doing some of these strats, my goal is to get sub 35 soon!

[@Rapidfire370]

FINALLY SUB 40 DROPPED

[@ismellsalt]

Even though I'm still working on sub 50 it was still an interesting watch, maybe in the future I will be able to put it to good use :P

[@eastpontiff]

Wow good vid! Just broke sub 50 and this is intimidating, but I know I'll really need much less than this to get sub 40. Thanks man, if you get 100k that would be interesting

[@alphabitserial]

Thank you! Time to get back into it!

[@vanandsan27]

AYYYO BRO NO WAY I thought your channel died! Thank you for the vid!

[@th-ys6vo]

I am only starting my journey, but this literally motivates me to try my best

[@AverageImposter]

HELL YEA YOU GOT THIS!!!

[@djathome2915]

This video is so well-made!! I'm confident I'll get that sub-30 eventually this way :D

[@Iamgoodatnames]

amazing video, it's really helpful and well explained!

[@jaminojujanja3738]

Oh my god, finally!

[@chickentechno3410]

would a 7:30 reflection be good? also can the demo dash be used as the hyper or do you need to hit it twice? 1:17:00 thank you so much for this video, you need a break but If you wait too long you will need to make a sub 20 video

[@Profeit_637]

so you're telling me im a lunatic of a gm player bc i've never used a demo for dream hypers in my life and have only been making my life 5x harder... sick!

[@LiamGuberman]

I didn't expect this so early

[@Muddytony20]

Just managed to get a 42:00 run, this is EXACTLY what i needed :)

[@innb]

Finally the next part

[@Luna-lp9op]

this is amazing

[@chumpo6130]

Pog

[@Trees7420]

It's been a while!!

[@mooshiros7053]

48:39 I always thought this was called the yeet strat :( (yes I watched the gdq run)

[@ItzHudzon]

Dub

[@mistergoldminer7764]

Seeing as I got sub 40 with the sub 50 guide, wondering what this will do👀

[@silphv]

Same. It helps that the IL strat videos for sub-50 actually added up to about 32 min. For sub-40 they add up to 28:xx so sub-30 is definitely possible with what is shown here.

[@Qu4ntvm]

FINALLY!!!! I can finally do this again! Gave up cause I wasn't improving Edit: I felt like I was held behind due to my skill, and I am proud to say after taking a several month break from celeste I am able to beat some advanced maps (spring collab) :D i hope this helps

[@David111IsHere]

It's Speedrunning time

[@Gritchèqe]

Honestly, I'm having a hard time with this part 27:58 . I can't glide on the books after the wave dash, I always dash too late and end up in the void, almost every time. As if the delay to be able to redash after the wavedash was too long, and when I try to go too fast with my inputs I just fail my wavedash. Sometimes I manage to touch the book platform but really on the right edge, not once I managed to dash in the middle of the book platform like in the tutorial. I only managed to pass the room a few times, I know it's difficult but I feel like I'm missing something here 🤔 Anyway great video ! It was worth the wait, I passed the sub 50 thanks to your videos, I am now aiming for the sub 40 but I feel that it will take me a lot more time ahah 😄(sorry for my english)

[@GamingCat-px2vb]

i just put demos everywhere into my resort route XD hope i can memorize every pixel line-up

[@smooshymemes]

now I kinda want "mechanics you DON'T need to speedrun celeste"
