@@civel Unfortunately the footage is a bit messy, with tons of background noises (I live in the family house) throughout the whole run, and even my mom entering the room a few times during the recording, so I can't just drop the whole 22 hours of unedited footage (without even taking into account the fact that 22 hours of footage would literally take like 4 full days to upload, and would eat up all of my monthly data) I could try to trim it down to only the successful attempt for each room and cut the audio on the parts where we hear background noise to avoid both of those issues while still showing the setups, but I don't think I'm willing to spend the time to go through all the footage again If you have any questions about setups for a specific room though, I'd be happy to answer!
Thanks :) I didn't expect to see you here! Your videos inspired me a lot, they're basically the reason why I started making challenge videos! I can't wait to see that Pikmin challenge you're working on :)
As someone with a pretty good understanding of celeste's mechanics and speedrunning strategies, I cannot imagine trying to beat the game without the ability to see.
i was fully expecting the answer to be that you just learned to echolocate and i was not disappointed this is so impressive oh my goddddd YOUR CAT IS SO CUTEE
For a good bit of the beginning I was like “hey, why aren’t these strats normalized or super consistent?” Then I remembered that it was a challenge run and not a speedrun.
The amount of time not only doing this difficult challenge must've been, but to also make a 1 hour video out of it, (doing scripting, editing, etc.) Had to have taken a lot of dedication. You definitely earned a sub.
I absolutely love your editing, making your camera go transparent when Madeline is behind it, the nice editing of showing how your memory warps at 14:10, I'm not even done with the video and I am 100% subscribing
Extremely impressive run! Love you paying attention to small details, like webcam overlay becoming transparent when Madeline is behind it or changing the dialogs :D
a lot of the technical stuff with regards to different types of dashes/jumps has always confused me, but you explained it really well! that's an impressive feat on its own to me
unfortunately quite a few rooms have bunnies that move on different cycles, and you would have to time the metronome start with the level load perfectly
@@emmyciyat9904 Your brain can probably make that phase shift mentally, all you really need is a consistent beat to work with. Tho, I wasn't thinking about how basically every room has a different cycle duration, making this very hard to do....
Metronomes are typically disallowed in blindfolded runs. Fortunately, the beat of the music would be just as effective. Unfortunately, because the cycle starts from when you respawn and the music does not, you'd have to mentally calculate the exact phase difference each death. HOWEVER, I believe the time taken to respawn is fixed. Therefore, if you delay your respawn until the correct point in the beat using the retry menu after each death, you should respawn in time with the beat. I haven't touched celeste in years, so this may be wrong.
I clicked this video because of a little curiosity, but ended up watching entire thing. really respect all of your will and patience to make this challenge success, I really enjoy it :D
i wonder how it must feel editing this video and looking at your own blindfolded footage, like it must be weird being like ''why am i doing this. it's right there''
I went wasn't already subscribed so I checked your channel to see what else might be interesting and turns out I've watched and enjoyed LIKE 8 OTHER videos by you without realizing they're the same person. Finally subscribed 😂😂
@@Rhododooh fuh I still alive Joke aside maybe you should try to upload your video at internet cafe. Usually they have very good internet Edit: i suck at english
@@DanrayHT Thanks for the tip but I'd much rather use my own internet for that, firstly for security reasons, and secondly because even though my internet is pretty slow, uploading the video from home would still be faster than driving to the closest internet cafe (i really live in the middle of nowhere, hence why my internet is bad), on top of also being a lot more convenient
ive said it once and ill say it again. I love your editing style, the way you speak and the silly jokes. I dont even like celest, but you hadnt made a video in a while so ill watch it. This quality of work deserves more views
hey!! super cool video, i just wanted to say i really appreciate that you added subtitles, as someone with audio processing disorder. the effort you went through to make it easier for people like myself to watch your video really means a lot, as well as adding some fun humor haha
"My memory is so bad" It is AWESOME. Your dedication to mastering the game is truly inspiring, because that's some serious skill! Your determination and perseverance never fail to amaze.
+1 abonné, tu le mérites, tu m'as impressionné sur les 2 vidéos que j'ai vu (celle là et Celeste avec le moins de sauts possible). Je vais continuer de découvrir les autres vidéos.
I’m happy that it just happened to release on April Fools, and wasn’t purposely released on April Fools. Congratulations! This looked like it took a lot of work, and the video is funny!
i saw a video eariler that said "celeste strawberry jam advanced lobby blind!" and i didnt realize until like 5 minutes in that they meant it was a first playthru, not that they were doing it blindfolded lmao
You should try to beat Super Meat Boy blindfolded next. Seems totally do-able lol. Absolutely fantastic video! I cannot contemplate how good one has to be to beat a game blindfolded. Amazing!
wait what i expected this to be a video with millions of views, i just finished watching the entire video and saw that it only has 38k views, this deserves a LOT more and i hope someone in the future is reading this right now and thinking "wow it has so many more views now"
You're probably one of my favorite youtubers when it comes to gaming challenges. Your humor, editing, and how go through every thought process is highly entertaining and engaging. You deserve a lot more subscribers for the effort you put in your every videos. Also btw, love your voice and accent it is very nice
I bet you could use Mr Oshiro’s head noice to figure out the positions of the oscillating red blobs, which could make the run more consistent. E.g. if he charges you at a consistent interval, then you would have a snapshot of the red blobs locations.
I think Oshiro's pattern is a bit awkward and changes depending on your position on the screen, so it would probably be a bit awkward, but yes the game music definitely would've helped. I've decided to mute the game music though since a heavily edited video has cuts everywhere, so that's kind of incompatible with in-game music, it would basically make the audio of the footage unusable.
WAAAHH yay rhododo posted ~w~ can’t even imagine the amount of work & effort that must’ve gone into this lol. U did an incredible job (& tell ur cat she’s amazing lol)
8:14 I have been looking so hard for the last strawberry in this level, I cannot believe that the way I learn about it is you blundering into it by complete accident 😂
20 minutes in and I'm surprised you haven't figured out how to position yourself on the edge of any platform you know has a climbable ledge. you should be able to hold cling and tap twice in a direction (or slow walk if that's a thing, I can't remember as I haven't played it in a year) then quickly in the opposite direction to walk slowly to the edge and cling to it after walking off, then you can just climb up and guarantee your position on the lip of the platform.
I did something somewhat similar on a few parts (falling off the edge to cling to the other side), but didn't think of this exact setup for it. Doing it this way definitely would've been a bit more consistent, and would've allowed me to do it on more platforms
in theory you could use a metronome to know where some of the dust bunnies are, but i guess timing it with the respawning would be unrealistically hard
1600 deaths in chapter blindfolded? I got almost trice that amount with my full vision for 6A. (not mentioning some screens in 6B making 800 deaths for me).
@@Rhododo Yeah, I understand you played a lot, not started blind. Still my expectations was in thousands of deaths for each chapter. especially when you say you get like few hours in single room. I guess I underestimated time between each death to make slow and steady setups.
I don't blame you for skipping Farewell, but I would love to see Core (8A) and Maybe the easier C sides. Because while hard, they are only 3 screens. I def think 1C and 2C could be doable :)
Wow, the fact that lvl 3 and 6 are possible is insane. I cant imagine how much practice some of the jumps took. Cant wait for Core Blindfolded (joking)
May i ask what your keybinds are? Im used to using a controller but i want to learn how to play on a keyboard as i prefer to keep everything on a keyboard but i just cant wrap my head around the keybinds :

hmmmmmmmmmmm oke, incredibly impressive then!
Do you have a full VOD of the whole run? I am (legit) interested on looking at it for strats 😃 and also to accept the run for the blindfolded site 👍
@@civel Unfortunately the footage is a bit messy, with tons of background noises (I live in the family house) throughout the whole run, and even my mom entering the room a few times during the recording, so I can't just drop the whole 22 hours of unedited footage (without even taking into account the fact that 22 hours of footage would literally take like 4 full days to upload, and would eat up all of my monthly data)
I could try to trim it down to only the successful attempt for each room and cut the audio on the parts where we hear background noise to avoid both of those issues while still showing the setups, but I don't think I'm willing to spend the time to go through all the footage again

@Rhododo So is it fake?
was litteraly thinking "hey did anyone beat celeste while blind folded" like 2 hours ago
prophecy
and this comment was posted 2 hours ago.. that's like, two instances of "2 hours ago" in one comment. that's crazy
@EktoAnim and your reply is 2 hours ago, and is the second one.
Same...
whats even crazier is the reply above me was written 2 hours ago
'if you crouch the wind doesnt push you anymore'
Im sorry WHAT
I've just spent hours struggling to get the golden 4B and I'm only just discovering this...
yall just stupid, i found out about that the first time i got there
happened to find that out during my complete beginner playthrough iirc
i’m half way through chapter 9 and i didn’t know this 😂
i casually speedrun celeste and i didnt know this

You could also remove the monitor entirely after opening celeste, it would be funny to see you staring at the wall

beating getting over it with your foot would be hilarious
