Old Celeste Speedrunner Reacts to the New Any% WR

Sorry for the stutters/slow speech. I was tired and this is my first time speaking without a script. Bear with my skill issue I guess.

[@Bluebarracks]

its fun leaving a speedrun scene for a while and then coming back and seeing how much more optimal its been done and what new things were found

[@hypertheo3683]

That's right, this was so much fun!

[@Jazzy_Maximus]

List of things that you were confused about/were new: 3:20 - 2 frame (I think) cutscene skip allows retention of speed. This is also used at the start of huge mess (5:01) and at the start of 6a rock bottom, but the latter isn't in this run ofc. This is followed by a corner kick to get past the block 4:49 - grounded ultra in the previous room into down right at the end of the previous room allows leaving the room with lots of horizontal speed. nuf said 5:07 - corner kick, but was this not used since like last year? I'm surprised 7:55 - so this run was very smooth yeah, but a couple months ago I think one of his world records had something along the lines of 13 unintentional deaths, which was the most unintentional deaths in a WR run since 2019 I think. Insane. 8:53 - very precise (i think 2f) momentum wounce 9:04 - lake skip but if it was 5b 10:17 - lake skip but if it was lake skip 10:43 - I think the cycles just make a direct up bounce impossible, or at least very difficult (1f). Entirety of fast fall section - yeah pretty much these are strats that had been found a while ago but a) setups have made them a little easier and b) this guy is really good at the game lol 11:29 - pause buffering to get 1f momentum jump allows you to hit that crystal without dying or using a dash, which facilitates the kevin skip 11:55 - ultra into corner kick 12:15 - ultra is slower 12:24 - corner boost (i think 3f?) allows you to skip waiting for the zipper 12:27 - corner kick 12:38 - skip waiting for the zipper to go back by just going directly to badeline 13:28 - corner boost into corner kick into spike jump (that strat is sub pixel dependent but i think the corner kick sets it up) Fun vid :) thx for uploading

[@hypertheo3683]

Thank you, this is quite helpful. I knew the spike jump at 5:07, but the setup for it seemed a bit different, that's what I meant by "we used to do it different" there. I think everyone was reverse dashing into the room to get that spike jump. I'm glad you liked the video :)

[@ziwuri]

There's no ultra at 11:52, it's a hyper into a coyote bhop I think 13:28 is just -a double cornerboost- two cornerboosts in a row, although it's still very difficult and almost nobody does it in runs

[@realtag8466]

@@ziwuri i dont think you can dcb a dash

[@ziwuri]

oops, I forgot that a dcb is a technical term and not just generally two cornerboosts in a row @@realtag8466

[@kivov]

fun video! it was pretty relatable since our pbs are seconds apart and i also haven't played any% in a super long time lmao the rise of secureaccount is definitely one of the craziest things to happen to celeste speedrunning. dude is such a grinder and has saved so much time through grinding out near perfect movement

[@kivov]

also i believe we talked a long time ago and you mentioned you were interested in celeste superdash any%? so if you want to react to my superdash any% run that might make for a fun video 😳

[@hypertheo3683]

@@kivov Yooo Kivov! Yes I did say that, I say a lot of things don't I... Couldn't even get my first steps into superdash runs so seeing a run would be a good idea! I think it will be an interesting video, thank you for suggestion!

[@ericlee2433]

If you are new to Celeste modding I would highly recommend starting with the Strawberry Jam collab! Even if you’re experienced with the game there’s a lot of content ranging from vanilla difficulty to really really hard (you should probably start with the easier stuff though)

[@hypertheo3683]

That's a great idea. I just found out SJ is very popular among modded contents. It would be a long and fun video series so why not!

[@nebulae5236]

I knew it was gonna get hard but nothing could prepare me for what grandmaster had in store… Good luck if you decide to play it!!! It’s a ton of fun all the way through

[@hypertheo3683]

@@nebulae5236 I played a little but begginer lobby was way too easy that I don't even know how I would make a video about. Would it be enjoyable to make an individual video about every map? Or do I just skip the easy bits?

[@nebulae5236]

@@hypertheo3683there me some custom mechanics and ideas introduced that seemed pretty cool, so if you had a reaction to any of them that might be fun to see! Otherwise either making a highlight reel or skipping it would be most enjoyable for me to watch

[@ericlee2433]

@@nebulae5236 I think for beginner lobby especially you might wanna just make a highlight reel or skip it if you don’t think there’s enough content. For later lobbies you might want to do a couple maps per video (collab maps are short), or one video per map when it gets tough.

[@megalampada2372]

11:25 I gotta say, this is one of the funniest bits in the video

[@mailbruh4548]

You are very good at English at both grammar and speaking. Also nice commentary man!

[@hypertheo3683]

Omg thanks 😭 that's an unexpected complement. Gotta improve on some pronounciations though.

[@weillio1993]

If you haven't seen the tas in a while you need to see it lmao

[@hypertheo3683]

Alright, next reaction video is decided then!

[@Energy_2048]

I can only find a 21:43 any% TAS on KZbin, so I suggest running the TAS yourself with Celeste studio (the current TAS is around 21:27) for the best experience.

[@hypertheo3683]

@@Energy_2048 I'll need to find out how before I do that, thank you tho!

Not sure if you were still running when Zkad got this awake run, just posting so you can see what it's come to lol. I'm not super involved in the speedrunning scene but I believe this is at least pausebufferless awake wr if not just awake wr kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqOTqmNtr5dseZofeature=shared

[@hypertheo3683]

It seems only the beggining setup for the delayed ultra is different from what I did. Which is significantly faster and I understand why it can go as down as 10 seconds now. Thanks for providing the link, I was very curious about it.
