Since its inception in 2009, the red ball series has had a very interesting and unique history. Likewise, the speedrunning scene that surrounds it contains events, strategies, and stories that may be somewhat unknown or hidden to casual observers. In 2021, a Red Ball Speedrunning iceberg was created in order to collect these various aspects and topics, ordered from most known to least. Moving down the layers, the light from the sun shines dimmer and dimmer, as the relative knowledge of the topics becomes more sparse. This video will aim to analyze just the first three layers of this iceberg, the surface, while the subsequent part will aim to explain the bottom three, the depths.

Would Newgrounds player happen to apply here too? I know that Red Ball is not a newgrounds series, but their player is intended for flash games and it seems quite reliable. If it were possible to "download" these swfs

thought the "red ball elite" was gonna be about the secret red ball government conspiracy and was sorely disappointed

[@jorjo4807]

yea i heard about that

[@YellowSkarmory]

Information gathered has revealed the poster of the comment that I am replying to is suspected of being part of the red ball government.

[@ArjunTheRageGuy]

Probably the Red ball goverment would be just like a company making some Red ball games and turning it into some franchise.

Honestly, Red Ball is my love at first sight when I played the game on Friv back when I was a kid, and despite that it has no story, it's has a simple premise. Now, we need a deep analysis about Tarzan Ball.

[@PrimeRicci]

Hey i remember your name and profile pic...

[@auralunaprettycure]

They're really well made games, as many of these simple arcade-y internet games are. My choice for a net game love would be Crush the Castle, probably, but I'm also quite fond of Tower of Heaven

I can’t find the ost for red ball 3 mobile cuz it’s “no longer supported in my country”

[@Backspaced_]

Unironically a really, really, really great video. Well-produced, well-edited, and a great showcase of this great community. Also, for any new runners out there, I highly recommend playing the fifth game in the series, Red Ball 5. It's a little underrated because it's not an official game in the series, but it's a very neat game nonetheless. Please play it, I am begging you.

The official Red Ball 5 PALES in comparison to the unofficial one, for anybody wanting to play that one

[@sweatyylemonss5237]

I remember on the iOS 2 player version of the game, redball 2p, the app allowed local multiplayer via Bluetooth. My friend and I, who had iPod touches with no wifi, would use the Bluetooth function to connect our phones to play Minecraft PE locally. It tricked the game into thinking you were connected to a LAN, and we could play

[@LiamLimeLarm]

how do u even make an iceberg of this

[@Livestreamlurker]

I think it's crazy that there's so much depth and even lore to these silly little flash games with a red ball. Such a cool community honestly.

[@Skye3979_]

Red Ball was my favorite game years ago. I was very surprised to find it has such an active speedrunning community. Who would have thought a flash game from 12 years ago would still have such a dedicated following?

[@409guzzler]

as a thicc ball speedrunner i appreciate the mention of the hack at 7:25

[@qmelzthevoid]

youtube recommended me the sub 20 train video and it seemed interesting so i watched it. 2 days later, now, i am here watching this video i don't think i have ever played red ball.

[@hadensbigfatclipstackaroon2695]

I've never actually played Red Ball yet I have still watched over 9000 random Red Ball videos in the past two weeks

[@AnnoyedGamer123]

I just set through a 22 minute video about a game series that I only know from EazySpeezy and don't care about in an other fashion. Saying all that though good video mate.

[@bubbadunnam3944]

I know you are young, I’m almost 40, and I played very few flash games as when I was younger they weren’t as polished as many of the ones your speed run videos showcase. And like summoningsalt you have multiple WRs under your belt, therefor you have the Knowledge and experience to make your “little KZbin channel” a premium source for professional documentaries about video games. I am so glad KZbin recommended you to myself.

[@trailhorn5268]

all of your uploads are too high quality i’ve never even played red ball and i’m addicted to your videos

[@TW-qq6fi]

this is an epic video, I'm completely new to red ball speedrunning and I know only 1 fact in the tier 3 section so these are accurate, I love these docu styles of videos!

[@generic4417]

[@sully1492]

Its hard for me to believe that a video game I played on CoolMathGames in Ms. Vega Crum's class in 1st grade would get a iceberg video. But it exists, I guess

I am honestly suprised we're getting a volume 6, it felt so far!

[@itztaken]

very cool video

[@veloxplayer098yeeeah7]

I think that in the lore, RB4 comes before RB3 for the swimming fact and because at the start of RB3, red ball and pink ball already knew themselves but in RB4 they first meet in the Vol. 5 opening scene

[@thisisacallforhelp3484]

The uneven ground might be an explanation for double jump? The brief window in which you can jump in midair might be a safety net to make sure uneven ground doesn’t lock you out of jumping.

[@Maximum]

Yeah, we believe that mid-air jumps or "coyote jumps" exist partially because of the uneven ground. The mechanic doesn't exist in Red Ball 3, so the bumpy ground just causes jumps to be completely missed. A buggy implementation of coyote jumping is likely why double jumping exists.
