[TAS] Celeste - Dash Trials Clear

[@Natalie7777]

not sure if you know this but there's actually a dash button in the game, I think the default is X. you should try it out, it'd make some of these rooms a lot easier!

[@Alec1029]

If for some reason that won't work, you can even bind a demo dash and use that! It's like a cooler version of the normal dash!

[@NotNochos]

@@Alec1029as someone who just got into the community wtf is a demo dash 😭

[@Alec1029]

@@NotNochos you can bind a crouched dash in the control settings. Its just like a normal dash but you are crouched during it. Its used to make your hitbox smaller during the dash and for some other stuff. It was a bug initially but then devs added a keybind for it. Oh and also when it was initially found it was named demo dash after the person who found it

[@NotNochos]

@@Alec1029 ohh alr. Ty!

[@billiboi122]

When you just nonchalantly walked through the spikes i just felt insulted

[@tisaconundrum]

wow using Theo to basically jump like that was really insane! So cool

[@wmeowlissa]

this is insane to watch, idk how you manage to figure this out unrelated question but will there be an updated min dashes farewell tas using the new 3 frame pause unload spinner thing?

[@Cr33pyCat]

Yeah, it'll take a pretty big time commitment but I am planning to remake farewell mindash with spinner stun

[@wmeowlissa]

@@Cr33pyCat ooh nice, looking forward to it

[@garretshadow152]

Just wait for it. This tech was invented less than a month ago, and I think now many are trying to optimize the main categories

[@justarandomdood]

holy shit, this is legitimately mind blowing :O

[@spki4524]

your game knowledge hits different, gg

[@DarkLeviathan8]

That was an amazing watch.

[@calypso2099]

gg figuring out 1:40 that shit looks wild

[@ZheoCeleste]

What happens at 1:23?

[@Cr33pyCat]

Due to float imprecision, when you jump directly onto the ground from a lower platform you can get a very small amount of downward speed that lets you walk through the downward spikes without being harmed

[@adrianreyes1773]

I don't even have to watch and I know you did amaZing 🤩

[@marttielvisto3519]

What the hell is happening at 1:55, pure magic lol. Also, this is a tas only map, right?

[@MekrinGD]

The gimmick is that it is a very simple map, it is only difficult if you do it dashless

[@Ecl1psed276]

Wtf happened at 1:54 lol Why did the dash at 2:03 not count on the counter?

[@Cr33pyCat]

I don't think 1:54 has an official name but I like to call it a dummy drop, you're able to fall indefinitely if you manage to fall off the ground while in the StDummy state (e.g. while using a bino) The dash at 2:03 is actually a dash from the bubble, which you're able to store and carry through rooms by using the bino.

[@Ecl1psed276]

Wow lol that is certainly something

[@thunder7433]

@@Cr33pyCat so it’s just a hyper but the dash comes from the bubble?

[@Cr33pyCat]

@@thunder7433 Yeah, that's why you don't hear the dash sound with the hyper

[@kolskytraveller1369]

@@Cr33pyCat but how the dash "gets spent" the first time (indicated by blue hair) and why are you able to jump in the air afterwards, have you somehow stored multiple bubbles? That's so awesome

[@MatteoSalotti]

0:40 i choose to believe spikes are not real, therefore, my opinion shall be respected 1:40 i shall also feel free to believe this floor in particular is not real either 1:56 exercising my right of opinion, i shall also be free to believe i can also teleport wherever i want

[@Gardengap]

2:00 how did you do that

[@Cr33pyCat]

By falling at the same time as using the bino (dummy state) you can fall infinitely through rooms, which lets you backtrack downward from the top room

[@Gardengap]

@@Cr33pyCat what do you mean “fall”, surely you can’t

[@Cr33pyCat]

@@Gardengap It's not visible without enabling hitboxes but at 1:53 Madeline's hitbox starts falling off the right edge while using the bino, then her hitbox falls down indefinitely until we reach the bottom room (you can keep falling forever until you hit a solid tile like the ones in the bottom room)

[@Gardengap]

@@Cr33pyCat and also, I did see Madeline dash a few times, like at 2:03. Is that some weird glitch where it doesn’t count?

[@Cr33pyCat]

@@Gardengap The dash at 2:03 is stored from the bubble at 1:52, so the game doesn't count it as a dash

[@soup4219]

spikes are more of a suggestion really

[@ChunkyM0nkey6]

2:02? wasn't that a dash? your hair turns blue and the speed lines are there

[@bubbacat9940]

That was what's known as a dashless dash. The bubble state from the bubble was saved somehow and that was a bubble dash

[@blockofbudder]

That was awesome! what happened at 40 tho i'm hearing some wall grabs and then you're inside of spikes lol

[@Cr33pyCat]

The first part of the trick is a spike clip to get past the upward facing spikes (by passing 4 pixels through the spike's hitbox in 1 frame), then lowering your vertical speed using wall grabs until you have a low enough speed on the ground to walk all the way through the downward spikes

[@gatetm]

are the tas files for this availible? i understand if its like super secret or something, because its supposed to be a puzzle, but if they are availible i think it would be great for learning.

[@Cr33pyCat]

Sure, I added the TAS file to the video description

[@gatetm]

@@Cr33pyCat thanks!

[@idkjfuff]

Im pretty sure that knowing most of those tricks says something about me, but I don’t know what

[@renatotheflowey2615]

rta when

[@RichConnerGMN]

ok i just actually watched this and... what.

[@marycabezas5329]

how do you gain so much momentum by jumping on corners?

[@marycabezas5329]

same question for the water

[@Cr33pyCat]

Each jump gives you a speed boost, and in many cases you can climbjump multiple times on the same corner for more speed

[@cosmnik472]

1:32 how the hell you jump mid air

[@cosmnik472]

Is this like jelly bump but theo or smthn? because i remember doing that in hell gym

[@cosmnik472]

Wait nvm im just stupid

[@DRX_Amade]

Ah hell nah yo ahh tweakin jigsaw

[@olypoly7936]

YOU LITERALLY DASHED AT THE END

[@arandompan4197]

they still had the bubble state from the room above, so that was just a bubble hyper.

[@AnimEnthusiast9]

bubble hyper

[@notxevy]

holy fucking shit 1:08 looks like straight up bitflip

[@proton..]

i think what happens is that if you interact with something after touching a green / red bubble it saves the state youre in before actually dashing in the bubble. this makes it so that when you press the dash button, it makes you dash in the bubble because in the state, you can press the dash button to make you dash earlier. (i have no idea if what i said makes sense)

[@jongyon7192p]

were there float perfect stuff? eyesEmoji

[@Cr33pyCat]

None in this TAS unfortunately

[@KaileyTheAlien]

Watching this again after leaning a lot about the game… gotta say… there’s so many small things that nobody will even notice when watching the video! BUT I DID BECAUSE I THOUGHT IM SO SMART with my little dultra gwob but apparently not only does it exist but IVE ALREADY SEEN ONE before I knew what it was :D Also I really need to improve my understanding of corner slips this is embarrassing 😶‍🌫️

@@Cr33pyCat thanks. Btw what's with the pause at 1:16?

[@furryrecorder]

I could do this.

[@TimOder]

It seems like it does a lot of unnecessary things, why?

[@Cr33pyCat]

Technical maps like this one might have some confusing movements but everything I did was intentional. If you have a specific timestamp I can explain what the TAS does

[@TimOder]

0:56, 1:08, 1:53

[@Cr33pyCat]

​@@TimOder 0:56 - Dashing downleft with the bubble gives you an ultra, which then lets you get additional speed with the grounded wallboost, which lets you enter the bubble while crouched for 2 pixels of extra height in order to wallbounce on the block above. 1:08 - I'm assuming you mean the usage of the bino, you have to look into it to remove your stored bino state so that the red bubble doesn't get canceled at the start of the next room. 1:53 - In that segment you store a bubble dash using the bino, then build up speed to fall off the edge while using the bino, which lets you fall below the screen.

[@Wpxtmvpsxm]

Why do you have a stored bino state at 1:08 that needs cancelling? Not sure what the purpose of the green bubble is

[@Cr33pyCat]

@Wpxtmvpsxm The green bubble needs to be popped so that the red bubble can pass through it, so you need to store the green bubble dash and use it close to the red bubble
