The Hardest Celeste Screens | 2k-3 Explained.

[@ParrotDash]

I have finally expanded this video into a series of its own where I cover really hard Celeste screens and break them down to explain how they work and what makes them so difficult, so if you liked this make sure to watch my other videos like this one aswell! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5rRfX6npqmZnJI Also consider subscribing since I definitely wanna continue this series and make more videos like this one :3

[@TheMisterDarknight]

@DonutMaster56 no geometry dash. That game becomes so much harder than it looks it's funny. Usually, timings that are 3 frames are considered almost easy on my level and I'm nowhere near the best.

[@Introlabe]

@@TheMisterDarknight thats like, 1/100th of a second for 3 frames? are you 360 or 244 fps (or smth else)?

[@FinnishArsonist]

​​​​@@Introlabeit would be at 60fps (so 1/20th of a second), usually frame windows in that game are assumed to be 60fps unless they say. Also, Fun fact: The 2nd hardest (beaten) level starts with a 180fps frame perfect, and the hardest has somewhere like 140+ frame perfects (at 60fps).

[@MrMister5555]

Stuff like this is fun to watch, but Celeste is a game with a super high skill ceiling. Having multiple rng subpixel obstacles to overcome seems completely against the spirit of Celeste to me and would just be torture to attempt. I am glad there are those who feel otherwise and put in the dedication to doing these insane challenges and explaining and showcasing them. Cause it is still highly entertaining. Thanks for the video!

[@ParrotDash]

well im excited to let you know then im working on kind of a sequal video to what is the new hardest screen which is the completely opposite of this and actually pushes celeste difficulty in a really good way

There is definitely another cool one planned for in the near future but dunno how common of a thing this will be since this was wayyyy more work than I ever expected it would be and its hard to find time for such huge video projects.

The fact that this is humanly possible is unreal

[@anonymous-hj7zn]

yay someone explained that autoscroller blocks give you more precision control and that most of those are supposed to be buffered in the original map anyway and basically if you do it "right" every time then you still have a small chance of actually making it through

[@pogchimp9452]

TLDR: tons of extremely precise pixel perfect tricks is very hard, subpixels are basically random and super hard

[@blakeplusplus]

This video was sick! So good to finally have an explanation on this screen, as I never really understood what all went into it. In terms of criticism, your writing is very solid and the music choice is great, but I think your narration is a bit too fast sometimes (I think? idk for sure) , and the music is a little bit too loud. Still an amazing video! I really hope to see more from you like this in addition to your stream highlights. I love all of it

yeah im aware I have a bit of an issue with accidentally talking really fast, im gonna try to think about it for future projects. Thanks alot !

[@madlad255]

Awesome stuff! I was able to follow along with everything you said without rewinding too much, so that's a good sign. Furthermore, your editing was entertaining - especially the half frame joke was set up well. I do wonder if people who are somewhat new to Celeste (i.e. those who don't already know a couple of advanced strats) would understand everything on first watch, but maybe that's not your target audience, I dunno. Also, there was no volume warning at 10:18 😰

[@ParrotDash]

thanks! yeah looking back now this video for sure isnt perfect and there would be some stuff id change (including volume warning oops sorry) but yeah original intended target audience was people that knew about the room but not why it was so difficult, i still tried to make it as understandable as possible for people that just played the main game but that was quite difficult for something like this, im glad you enjoyed it though and thanks for the feedback !

It’s when you do a hyper dash midair to regain your dash during the hyper. A hyper is where you’re on the ground and use a downright/downleft dash and then jump to gain hyper speed in the air. A wave dash is where you start from the air and input a hyper to gain hyper speed and regain your dash.

man beautiful video, great editing flow and everything. ON THING please take more time while you record your voice-over, there is no rush, there is no one that is going to kill you in 5 second. Take your time, don’t stumble on your word, try to say clear sentences. I’m telling you this because you got potential, it’s just really hard to follow the video, next before doing the video try to send the voice over to someone for review, because you can understand everything obviously, but a new viewer isn’t as custom as you with your accent. Even worse (like in my case) the viewer may not be from an english speaking county. Everything else was great and really interesting, overall good video.

[@arti972]

Telling you this because I speak really fast too, and a lot of time people tell me to slow down

[@alexcallender]

Good advice. I could barely understand what he was saying, and I'm usually pretty good at deciphering unfamiliar accents or unique speech patterns. I also like to think I have good hearing, and this isn't at all something I experience often on KZbin. No offense to OP but I think his audio in general needs a bit of work.

[@EuniverseCat]

7:30 did you ever mess with doing a tiny right tap right before the walljump? could result in moving right the frame you hit the corner and preventing the zero frame. comes with its own set of issues ofc lol

[@ParrotDash]

that would theoretically work, though that would most likely also result in being much further right and probably ending up on the right side of the gap. Meaning there is a bigger range of pixels you could end up in and have to react from and also possibly making it harder to get into the left most 0.15 since your now on the right side of the gap. So it would probably make things less consistent all around and not be worth it for the rare instances of getting 0 framed there

[@EuniverseCat]

@@ParrotDash makes sense. the one time i actually did that in a setup it was 50% to happen so i'm probably overestimating how common getting 0-framed is
