I love this stuff. Anyone outside looking in would say "Why are a bunch of adults spending hundreds of hours in a kids flash game?" While the actual game is silly, the pursuit of the fastest speedrun/TAS is all about problem solving, optimization, and dedication. So fun.
@@kurocon6235 Thats sad if thats what you think football is, and plus, you actually get exercize from sports instead of sitting in front of a screen for hours
as one of the few people with a good bit of rb4 tas experience I cannot overstate how good both this run and subsequent explanation is! to put something this technical into such a concise video takes some real talent, big props to starline and max for their hard work on this! stay tuned for more :)
I am honered to have been a part of this community. You guys really got me through the height of quarantine. I learned so much from you guys, especially sage. Love yall
This is incredibly well explained! Adding the jump sounds during the explainers really helped with understanding what you're saying without us having to focus on the keys pressed
I adore Red Ball 4 so this is a very welcome video for you. Your videos about the *original* Red Ball were very interesting and all, but I simply haven't had any experience with that game nor its sequels and spinoffs, except for Red Ball 4, which I hold very dearly in my heart as one of the most frequently played Flashgames by me.
Brute force isn't that intensive on this game specifically, as you can ignore most of the inputs most of the time (you can't jump in the air), and you can save a list of the best times/speeds and stop early any tas that is slower by more than the amount of time it takes to lose that speed (which would cull most of the ones that don't hold right or hold left too much), so the amount of variations of the level is manageable. Note that I haven't seen the brute force tool, but those are "easy" checks to make/things that are intrinsic to the game (e.g. having only 3 buttons) that make brute force manageable.
if you uploaded the entire red ball 4 tas to tiktok it’d probably get as many views as those videos where people roll glass bottles down staircases until they break
I saw the old tas recently and I can say i am freaking floored on the improvements,,, I never thought this game could be as broken as the previous ones!!
The year is 2012 red ball's creater evgeniy fedoseev made a game as quality as possible but evgeniy himself dont think in this series have a forbidden fruit in the games Box2d engine and the dedicated man Max and TAS crew... thats why I love speedrunning so much keeping coming up Max
This game's TAS looks like the TAS in Celeste Farewell's level on the fast few screens, keeping the speed throughout scren transitions and zooming all the way to the end
I see you have a ton of corporate clash music in your list, do you play it yourself? Im personally maxed. I was so surprised to hear high roller theme at the beginning haha.
okay, i know the gameplay is insane, but can we talk about the song selection for the video? dude straight up dove into my younger self’s brain and pulled out every banger he could find. especially at level 5- who even remembers mario sports mix???
Wow this video is good! This video and all your other videos are kind of getting me into speedrunning flash games. Also, can you make a video about BFDIA 5B speedrunning?
Back when I was messing with Unity, I solved the problem of permitting double jumps as exploited by this TAS by disabling the ability to jump immediately after jumping, and then re-enabling it when the character is no longer airborne. To do this I implemented a mostly rectangular foot hitbox (the character was for all intents and purposes a circle) that was less wide than the character's circumference, which would be the main indicator of the character's state of motion. Since I never got very far, I'm sure there would be circumstances where the character would exit airborne state without actually ceasing to be airborne, like making contact with a wall in a certain way or something. It seems that Red Ball, instead of tying being able to jump to the grounded state, tied not being able to jump to the airborne state.
I'm sure this has to be super flattering to the developers. That any community would put this much time and effort into clearing a game they developed. Though I guess that's not always true. Since the communities are often completely abusing exploits. Some developers, I'm sure, can only see their game not being played at all as intended.
Part 2 is now finished; go give it a watch! th-cam.com/video/x17O_aKKvL8/w-d-xo.html

I'm back here before watching part 2 because in the three month wait I've forgotten everything from this video lol.

hi
hello person with the word "good" in the name
@@LavaCreeperPeople is that not what this video is about? I'm confused
@@poopsmithjones1I honestly have no idea what some people on the internet are saying
All for a game about a red ball.
True😂
yup
Tbh BALLS ARE COOL
OH MY GOD AND ITS CALLED RED BALL, DO YOU THINK THEY KNEW THEY WERE DOING THAT?!?!?! ARE THEY EVEN ALLOWED TO THATS CRAZY
man i love balls
33:00 I like how the splits are named based on what the speedrunner thinks while going through them.

Thank you so much for everything that you have given to the community!
@@Maximumone question though
What about red ball 4 volume 4 (in the intro)
@@Maximum Can you make TAS Red Ball speed run explained part 3?
7th grade math test: "This red ball wants to go to this location, what is the fastest route?"
The quiet kid:
no
Rolling motion in 7th grade? Rip that kid
As a robot myself I can confirm this is how we do this. (Using my robot skills I have seen this video in the past so I already know what happens.)
lol
Im glad I at least made someone laugh with this, that wasnt myself
O' robot in the comments what is your wisdom?
Peak robo-comedy
This is truly one of the robot comments of all time
This is incredibly well explained! Adding the jump sounds during the explainers really helped with understanding what you're saying without us having to focus on the keys pressed
Also I just have to say, I really appreciate the accurate closed captions on this video!
If this game wasn’t your childhood, we cant be friends.
Then we can be friends :D
not only just red ball 4, but 1 2 and 3
I'm so happy to hear the Corporate Clash soundtrack getting recognition, thank you so much for using it!
its holding up my channel right now fr (18/28 of the songs used in this video were from corporate clash lol)
Already know this is going to be sick! Great job Maximum!
fr
love the use of the clash music as always
always make me wanna go play the game even more than i already do, Pace Place sweep

The TAS for the first level being generated by a brute force script is absolutely bananas. It makes sense that it would work but man
Brute force isn't that intensive on this game specifically, as you can ignore most of the inputs most of the time (you can't jump in the air), and you can save a list of the best times/speeds and stop early any tas that is slower by more than the amount of time it takes to lose that speed (which would cull most of the ones that don't hold right or hold left too much), so the amount of variations of the level is manageable.

@@satibelthats very likely how it was done. Invalid state exclusion is such an important step .
if you uploaded the entire red ball 4 tas to tiktok it’d probably get as many views as those videos where people roll glass bottles down staircases until they break
don't give me ideas

I've been in the tassing community for a while, and i have never seen a tas so intricately and perfectly explained before. Amazing work!

Amazing stuff as always, looking forward to part 2!

Damn, the editing in this is top notch, and the tas is wild. All these minute velocity tricks and calculations...
Been waiting for this. Thank you!
the strategies here were incredible. the information was shown in a clear way which made this a good watch.
Love TAS explanations, amazing vid as always!
The year is 2012 red ball's creater evgeniy fedoseev made a game as quality as possible but evgeniy himself dont think in this series have a forbidden fruit in the games

editing is insane in this vid amazing talent man
MY BOY IS BACK WITH A BANGER VIDEO!!!
New maximum AND summoning salt? Great holiday.
I guess Red Ball wanted to save the world so much, he went to travelling faster than light to do it
Karl Jobst, Summoning Salt, and now Maximum all in a day?! Is it my birthday?
max the goat, thanks for another banger
Summoning salt video then a msushi video then it’s maximum video. Speed running heaven for me today
Perfect, I love your speedrun explanations
34:16 and now, for a brief moment, he has become a sun God!
half an hour of explanation for a 1.5 minute speedrun. Perfection.
i'm actually shitting myself i clicked on the video then got jumpscared by toontown corporate clash music
seems like someone has been playing ttcc, most of the music in the song list is from it
yeah I’m 148 Laff 😎
@@Maximum holy shit
what are the 2 remaining laff boosts?
@@SurmenianSoldierCEO. I don’t really care about maxing atm.

time to rewatch because i don't remember any of the tricks going on in part 2
17:47 bready steady go
the clash music is making me so happy, i need people to use it more
Another impressive TAS, and another perfect explanation by Maximum. What can be better?

@@Maximum Awesome, what's your toon if I may ask?
3:53 thanks gamer, it does make it an easier watch
All these people could be solving world hunger or some shit, instead they speedrun silly games in the most efficient way possible.

okay, i know the gameplay is insane, but can we talk about the song selection for the video? dude straight up dove into my younger self’s brain and pulled out every banger he could find. especially at level 5- who even remembers mario sports mix???
you are approaching bismuth levels of explanation dude
imagine being a strong and powerful enemy that takes many hits and then quite literally getting dribbled by a small red ball
First summoning salt and now you. This week has been great for speed running videos
Lets go new maximum video dropped
What a channel. Love it all
Wow this video is good! This video and all your other videos are kind of getting me into speedrunning flash games. Also, can you make a video about BFDIA 5B speedrunning?
YES NEW MAXIMUM VIDEO
Childhood memory unlocked❤
Imagine being the boss and seeing a pepperoni looking thing superman your way, hit you, then carry you across the place and hit you again
Redball is so entertaining to watch at a high level.

Despite the long waits these videos are almost always amazing and well edited.
This video feels like I’m at a professors physics class lmfao
One of the best og mobile games for sure.
It's a good day when Msushi and maximum upload

this game changed a lot when i first saw the first TAS for red ball 1
We have fitMC for minecraft 2t2b server lore, we have Max for RedBall Lore, I love it here
One day I expect yall to make your own sequel.
Can you make a video explaining the red ball 4 lore
I already did that, it’s called “Red Ball Iceberg Explained” 🔴
I just looked and thought I hadn’t watched this one yet but then realized it was posted 12 minutes ago

It is! The developer has seen most of the TASses and he loves them!
Always a channel I immediately click on the videos on, no matter whether I've played the game or not
Im happy that an underrated game finally got some attention
33:50 Good youtuber, making the thumbnail ahead of time XD
I was in lack of red ball content, thank you
5:31
that ratio converted to 1:x exactly is equal to 1:1.985028125
which is ~99.25% of the full 1:2 ratio
Good content as always!
God I love how in-depth these videos are
My small brain loves hearing about the logic behind the physics engine for those glitches to happen
great work again, max!
Bro this game was the only mobile game to ever be good
I did this once without a TAS, forgot to record though.
what a coincidence I saw this right after finishing all 80 achievements. anyway awesome video man
Love your content bro
Great Work!
I love these types of videos so much
been watching for a while
Yes its so fast thanks for explaining another excellent video! Keep it up!
TAS are always fun to watch
ooo new video! i always love watching these while i draw lol
Great video, many numbers 😵💫
Paused a solar sands video to watch this, that's just proper etiquette.
IM SO EXCITED FOR (PART 2)
