This video is soo well done, really an amazing work. I've been speedrunning celeste on and off for a few years, and never got a faster run than 1:02:01, and thanks to it I just got a 55:39.616. I am so stoked for the next episode of the series
Wow thank you so much 🥺 I’m so glad the video was able to help you that much!! That’s such insaaaane improvement! Trying to get the next video out as soon as possible 😁 it just takes a long time to make sure all the info is correct and concise lol
I really like that u don't go thru every room and instead highlight only the important skips, I feel like most of the fun I get out of speedrunning is trying to figure out different routes/strats. Thanks and I'm v excited to see what's unlocked w wavedashing
Learning how to speedrun any game takes a TON of time and memorization, but hopefully with this series I can continue to give you easy ways to incorporate new strats and rope you into speedrunning! 😁
Thanks for this, I just submitted my first run with a 49:13! I'm pretty comfortable with supers/hypers/wavedashes so I used them a lot but I just rolled my own strats for anything not covered here. I'd say it's a pretty good start. I'm excited to step it up!
Just set up livesplit and cranked out a 59:03.293. I like how much you explained the mindset you have to be in because I was going for the harder strats and losing time over it
Congrats!! I’m happy to have helped 😁 harder strats are always good/fun to grind out but absolutely no shame in needing to cut some strats to maintain your sanity in fullgame runs! Even top players need to do so when it comes to IL running vs fullgame running
As someone who's PB was 44:54, I'm embarrassed how long it was taking me to improve, but just by applying the mindset this video asks of you, it STILL helped me get my PB down to 43:10 over just one week. Very excited for a sub-40 Tutorial!
I'm an ex-runner from years ago who had a 41:13, and i'm trying to get back into the game. I agree, this video along with the sub 50 one are helping a lot. Good luck on sub 40 if you haven't reached it yet!
@@lilyyy456 btw, the sub 50 video does talk about chapter 5b, so its still worth seeing even if you're past sub 50 (I mean, unless you already do 5b, i never did and it seems a bit scary, just throwing everything i know about 5a away for this much harder chapter will be hard)
Wow, you guys did crazy amount of work on this video. I always thought the speedrunning is cool as hell but I never tried it myself. Now I’m on the part where you pick the game, so I’m choosing between Hollow Knight and Celeste. Have a lot more experience in HK but I’m a little scared to grind it even more and get frustrated in the end or even drop the game. On the other hand I just finished casual playthrough of Celeste a couple months ago and your video gives such a mood boost and it simply “talks” to me as a new player. It’s amazing. I might actually try it 😅 TL DR: Thanks for the amazing content! Loved it!
Hopefully ya do join the crew and run Celeste! But HK is also fantastic so I wouldn’t blame you lol. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words! 🥺
I legit got that backwards super skip first try... then proceeded to fail the next 5-10 attempts until I finally got it again. But I have since mastered it, and it feels so satisfying
Tbh i didn't knew that crumble blocks disappear faster if you jump from them... I love how this game can always surprise you with new tech. Thanks for teching me this and for this awesome video!
@@AverageImposter if i didn't like the jokes i wouldn't watch the whole video... twice, and i would lie if i say that this isn't helpfull, because it is by a really professional celeste runner. i will be waiting for more content!
Dang this is the perfect timing for me ^^ "Recently" got into speedrunning via Ori WotW (Goal was sub 30) and wanted to now also learn Any% Celeste (after only completing the game once but seeing TAS-Bot at GDQ and multiple other awesome runners). Already got a sub 2 hours run. ;) So I'm looking forward to this series to progess even further. :)
Ayyy congrats! I got into speedrunning through Hollow Knight but personally vibed with the Celeste advanced movement more. These videos take a TON of time to get out but definitely planning on trying to get the others out in a reasonable time frame! 😁
@@AverageImposter That's awesome, Hollow Knight is such an awesome game! A friend of mine is learning Hollow Knight right now so I wanted to learn something different to later on show each other the runs.. ^^ Looking forward to the 40 Minute ones, as I'm using some speedrun tech already, but I still suck too much to not die way over a hundred times per run. xD Especially summit is so hard the first few times, that level almost takes me 30 minutes...
Damn I wish I had this video when I was first learning the run, very well done! Can't wait for the rest of the series :) Also I literally have 900 hours in celeste and a 32 minute any%, and did not know that badeline throws you high enough to grab that wall at 37:38
Thank you so much, Goose! Oh yea that little bit was something i just remember seeing top players doing and was like “wait… that’s not all too difficult!”
the last part of the escape from Oshiro at 17:40 literally broke me. I died over 1000 times in Resort alone. The rest of the game I was like "how the fuck are you supposed to do this without assist mode?" more than I care to admit. I actually won that game on a bet and I still felt cheated. >>
Bro I was so inspired by your video and went from not being able to get sub hour to getting a 49:33. I wanna grind more and more. Can't wait to get higher
yo nice video. I really liked the editing and presentation of it with the debug map and the highlighted rooms it makes it nice to look at. Also for example at 16:38 you also want to press confirm when you retry to skip a part of the animation which AverageImposter didn't do here
I'm looking at doing a sub hour Celeste run for a charity event this year, so thank you so much for this. I have a month to practice, and I feel like you just saved me a ton of time, especially in mirror temple. Edit: yeah, you did save me a bunch of time in a good few spots. My rust run took 2:11:00.x, and since then, I got it down to 59:49.42 at the strawberry cake screen.
I've consistently gotten my time down in every single attempt I do, I went from 4:06 to 2:07 to 1:38 to 1:36 to 1:26 to now 1:17 and the best thing I found is obviously to die less and just be consistent, I don't know how much longer my time improvement streak is going to last tho as now I feel like the improvements are going to get much smaller
Wow that’s insane!! Improvement every attempt is huuuuuge. Obviously the increments will get smaller, but as long as you keep practicing and having fun then you can keep pushing that time lower! Best of luck 😁
Thank you sooooo much for the guide! I just finished my first playthrough of the game, so it's time to move on to the next challenge. Again, thank you!
Just finished my first play through of celeste (a,b,c sides + moon berry), and I'm excited to improve! I think I'm gonna do a couple of casual runs before I start looking up other peoples strats (my first time for it was 38 hrs, I'm hoping for sub 10 for my second run), but when I'm ready to start speed running this is definitely where I'm going!
I think you can definitely manage sub 10! You’d be surprised how much easier the game feels after all the b and c sides and especially after farewell. You got this!
@@AverageImposter Finished the play through at 10 hours 30 minutes. I'm satisfied enough of that to start doing "Summit" speedruns- I imagine I'll be adding ~100 views to this video over the next few months! It had a totally unofficial time of 3 hours 45 minutes for a Summit playthrough, since it included all of the collectables. Its a long way to go but I'm excited for the journey!
due to this video i have gotten so much better, my best times were 1:10 and now my pb is 46:25. Friends of mine have all started running celeste and this video (And the mechanics video). They all have 1:10/20 ranges right now but with your help they will reach sub 1 hour to. cant wait for your new video to come out!
@@AverageImposter Most off us started playing a couple of weeks ago and we do races with eachother, explain eachothers strats and work together to make our times better, 2 of them have now a sub 1 hour in one of the races, we are looking forward to your new video's and hope we can get sub 50/40 one day, congrats on your sub 30 btw
first run was a 1:41 after like 1,5 years of not playing (i got 180berries, all crystal hearts + farewell) Hope to get 58minutes soon i was suprised how well i still knew the route
@@AverageImposter yeah, your video also helped. 3rd run 1 09 with 183 deaths If i halve my deaths i save like another 5 minutes Edit: OH, i HATE Ch3, that fricking last partindied like 7 times right on the final screen 49 deaths in ch3 is wayyyy to much
1000% recommend running Celeste! Personally the game really taught me a lot about the process of learning and that practice gets rewarded big time. You’ve got this!
this video is amazing, i love how you take everything slowly and not rush through anything while at the same time not making it super boring to watch, so much effort went into this and i appreciate it. I'll watching the rest of the series once I get my sub hour run! thanks!!
Thank you for the guide, my good man. I've tried a few half-hearted attempts at speedrunning and was relatively happy with my 1h25m run, but I figured I could do better if I put in the effort. After actually trying - with a good number of ILs and 4 runs from scratch - I just now finished my first sub-hour with a nail-biting 59:34.097 (116 deaths, mostly trying some things and taking it safely). I expected to choke hard on flag 1 but I somehow held in and did it. I'm looking forward to your sub-50 guide, as I'm feeling the urge to improve further.
Wow that’s incredible! GGs 😁 flag 1 is SO nerve wracking at the end of a good run so I totally feel ya. Sub 50 guide is being grinded out as much as possible at this point
@@AverageImposter I thought I’d add in a sneaky update with my progress, since I’ve still been practising since the original comment. Still only going A-sides for now, and no neutral jumping or wavedashes because I’m still terrible at executing them, but making reasonable use of supers, hypers and wall bounces. I’m now down to a cool 44:56. That run I thought I’d choked on flag 3 and 2, but overestimated how long flag 2 and 1 takes so just scraped in. I know I can still do better too, even with no route or mechanical changes, since I’m still hanging around 60-70 deaths a run. Thanks again for the video, and probably even more so for the consistent encouragement in comment replies to everyone here - that’s a really big boost to mindset that we really can do this. (Still feel like a scrub compared to the BTA competitions though, they’re packed with talented runners.) Appreciate what you do, and looking forward to more from you.
super well made i love this video! have a sub 40 and still find myself learning new things from this like death confirming and auto skip cutscene buttons, guess i need to make those :D
@@AverageImposter true, this game became my all time favorite before I even learned anything new, and after I started running it, it became even better to me with imo the best movement mechanics in any game I have ever played
Looking forward to speedrunning celeste, totally earned that sub! I just finished summit and it took me 14 hours (143 berries collected) and I can't wait to start learning proper running the game!
Thank you for the support! I’d definitely say enjoy and relish in all the vanilla aspects of Celeste including the berry collections and all since once you start running the game, you look back and think “huh, I’ve come a long way!” And it can be super rewarding. However you decide to take on the game, you’ve got this! 😁
Just started playing Celeste about a month and a half ago. I played the HELL out of it. (around 85hrs) and tried speedrunning. Got a top time of around 1:05:26. I’m used to speedrunning, I’ve done it for a while, mainly SM64. This video cut my time to a *49:54*. No joke, the routing here was my main issue. Huge time saves I didn’t know about, and awesomely in-depth. That Summit 2500 orb skip made me cry inside. Well made!
watching this video having just been running 7A and nothing else (I got a 13:46 so far)!! I have caved and am finally seeking speedrun advice instead of working the techs out on my own
Oh goodness I don’t even wanna go back and check how long ridge took me the first time. I had like 35 hours of playtime total for the base game first time around lol
11:15 I found that it’s easier and faster to do a diagonal dash into the bottom left coin first, then after collecting the next two use the dream block to get to the last one quickly
Joystick definitely cost me a lot of deaths back when I was using it too but you’ll get the hang of it! I’m glad you were able to get sub hour with the help of this video!
Over a year since I started running Celeste and first watched this and I still ocme back to this video regularly. Partially to look back on how far of come, partially to brush up and make sure I haven't forgotten any of the foundational strategies, and partially just because it's a great video. Thanks so much for making this, and I hope some day we get the sub 40 video! (Although just using the tips from the sub 50 vid I've already reached a low 39- but don't think that doesnt mean im hungry for more content like this!)
interestingly enough, i do a lot of these in my il runs other than the cycle stuff, my best bet is to probably practice up resort, temple, and ridge and i should be good to get a sub hour. im still not majorly confident since my best times put together are ~57 minutes but hey might as well try
26:26 when you get some more *advanced mechanics under your belt* also averageimposter: *extended hyper into a corner boost into a reverse wavedash into an ultra and using the momentum of the ultra to up right dash into badeline*
i love this video i got motivated to speedrun the game and almost did sub 2 hours on my very frist attempt thank you a lot! which this video i am truly motivated to get the sub hour 🤩
Got a 1:05 :( its was sub hour potencial just needed a 18 summit but my nervous was to high and cound't Control also its had an insane resort almost sub 8
just got a 1:02 i chocked summit and with that im going to review the video and try again i got an INSANE TIME in the others and i leaved reflection with sub 40 and i ended up no even doing sub 20 summit
This video is great. I already have a sub 1 hour (55 minutes) but I learned tons of good stuff like the time skip in chapter 5 (yes I was getting the keys for this one and didn't know yet about the secret bubble). This will surely help me get close to sub 50 :)
@@AverageImposter Thanks! I made 48:49 and still a lot of room for improvement (my death count is still quite high). So eventually I think I can get near 45 mins with my current routing and movement. Thanks again for your well done video.
Thanks for this video - it is wonderfully made. After lots and lots of practice, I worked my way from 1:20 to 1:15 to 1:10 to 1:05 and then...1:02...and 1:01, and finally just scored a 59min 10sec with 140 deaths. Definitely room to keep going, too.
I've been speedrunning casually for 6 months or so now, and after finding this video, I got my time down to 1:20:25 or so. but after the sub-50 starts video, I managed to get a sub hour with a 59:30! I know it'll take a while for the next one to come out (just see the delay between sub-hour and sub-50), but I'm super excited and can't wait.
Damn, thanks for this incredible guide, I followed it and the IL videos and got my first sub hour (57:33) aftet only a week of training! Now aiming for sub 50 and maybe 40 after
Just bought that game yesterday and I liked it so much and could tell I'd love to speedrun. Unfortunately seems like my job will be a bit difficult, as I play on console, but I'll stick it out nonetheless!
You got this! Sometimes Celeste can be overwhelming but something that’s kept me going is knowing everything can happen in due time! With any amount of practice you can do whatever you set out to accomplish 😁
When are you going to make the sub-50 minute video? Also this video is great! Also 28:15 is the best way I’ve ever seen that segment of the game shown.
Something I've noticed is for any room with rithm blocks, like finding b sides or that part of farewell, is you wont respawn at the same point in the cycle every time because the blocks follow the music, so dying on different beats will respawn you at different points
I just found this after getting sub-one hour for the first time - interesting to see some of your recommendations that I was already doing and others I had no idea about. Great video, thank you.
When ever I play a platformer I'm always trying to beat each room very quickly dieing a lot because I always find it easier (and more fun sometimes) to find a death cycle route then to just be patient.
Death cycles are always fun and very important to learn in speedrunning! Lots of top runners resort to having a backup plan in a lot of problematic rooms if things don’t go the way they plan to
Mmm... I don't know why but even though I use wave dashes, skips, crouch dashes I still don't get sub 1 hour... Its probably the Deaths since I usually get Atleast 100 deaths per run... Also definitely not an alt account of the nr1 nessi fan
I already used all these strays in my casual playthrough and after b sides, I can confidently do most of these tricks. One problem: I’m bad at not dying! Lmao
I wanna get good but I’m on Xbox and we don’t have version 1.4 for some reason so I can’t demo dash or fast menu or anything. Rn I’m obviously not at a level where that’s a huge deal but it’s still sad
This has been a lot of complaints I’ve seen unfortunately :( hopefully they’ve got 1.4 on the way for Xbox, but highly recommend the PC version if possible regardless since the extra modded tools help so much!

AAAAA wow thats incredible, congrats to all of you and im so glad my videos can help all of you starting your Celeste speedrunning journeys 🥺
@@AverageImposter Most off us started playing a couple of weeks ago and we do races with eachother, explain eachothers strats and work together to make our times better, 2 of them have now a sub 1 hour in one of the races, we are looking forward to your new video's and hope we can get sub 50/40 one day, congrats on your sub 30 btw
first run was a 1:41 after like 1,5 years of not playing (i got 180berries, all crystal hearts + farewell)
Hope to get 58minutes soon
i was suprised how well i still knew the route
Wow that’s pretty amazing for not playing in so long! Muscle memory goes a long way. Each run helps more and more in getting the time down
@@AverageImposter yeah, your video also helped. 3rd run 1 09 with 183 deaths
If i halve my deaths i save like another 5 minutes
Edit: OH, i HATE Ch3, that fricking last partindied like 7 times right on the final screen
49 deaths in ch3 is wayyyy to much
thanks, this came up on my timeline. im a washed up super mario odyssey runner and have always been interested in celeste
1000% recommend running Celeste! Personally the game really taught me a lot about the process of learning and that practice gets rewarded big time. You’ve got this!
damn i feel called out by this comment lol
A little late to the celeste party, but just got my first sub hour run at 58:37! Thanks for the amazing guide :)
Great guide! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Happy to have helped 😁 good luck getting those speedy times!
this video is amazing, i love how you take everything slowly and not rush through anything while at the same time not making it super boring to watch, so much effort went into this and i appreciate it. I'll watching the rest of the series once I get my sub hour run! thanks!!
No problem!! Thank you so much 😁 I put a lot into these so I’m glad that people can watch it through without it being too boring! best of luck!
Underrated af thank you so much I want to start speed running now lol
Ayyyyy thanks! Do it!
This video is incredible. I know your gonna get a lot of subs soon
Thank you! I’m already at a sub count waaaay higher than I ever thought I’d be 😭
Golden ridge cliff face wind killed so many of my runs for the a-side golden strawberry. Chapter 4 is my favorite and least favorite chapter.
Thank you for the guide, my good man. I've tried a few half-hearted attempts at speedrunning and was relatively happy with my 1h25m run, but I figured I could do better if I put in the effort.
After actually trying - with a good number of ILs and 4 runs from scratch - I just now finished my first sub-hour with a nail-biting 59:34.097 (116 deaths, mostly trying some things and taking it safely). I expected to choke hard on flag 1 but I somehow held in and did it.
I'm looking forward to your sub-50 guide, as I'm feeling the urge to improve further.
Wow that’s incredible! GGs 😁 flag 1 is SO nerve wracking at the end of a good run so I totally feel ya. Sub 50 guide is being grinded out as much as possible at this point
@@AverageImposter I thought I’d add in a sneaky update with my progress, since I’ve still been practising since the original comment.
Still only going A-sides for now, and no neutral jumping or wavedashes because I’m still terrible at executing them, but making reasonable use of supers, hypers and wall bounces. I’m now down to a cool 44:56. That run I thought I’d choked on flag 3 and 2, but overestimated how long flag 2 and 1 takes so just scraped in. I know I can still do better too, even with no route or mechanical changes, since I’m still hanging around 60-70 deaths a run.
Thanks again for the video, and probably even more so for the consistent encouragement in comment replies to everyone here - that’s a really big boost to mindset that we really can do this. (Still feel like a scrub compared to the BTA competitions though, they’re packed with talented runners.)
Appreciate what you do, and looking forward to more from you.
super well made i love this video! have a sub 40 and still find myself learning new things from this like death confirming and auto skip cutscene buttons, guess i need to make those :D
Thank you!! 😁 it’s so wild that a game with only 3 core mechanics (jump, dash, grab) has SO many things to learn from!
@@AverageImposter true, this game became my all time favorite before I even learned anything new, and after I started running it, it became even better to me with imo the best movement mechanics in any game I have ever played
Looking forward to speedrunning celeste, totally earned that sub! I just finished summit and it took me 14 hours (143 berries collected) and I can't wait to start learning proper running the game!
Thank you for the support! I’d definitely say enjoy and relish in all the vanilla aspects of Celeste including the berry collections and all since once you start running the game, you look back and think “huh, I’ve come a long way!” And it can be super rewarding. However you decide to take on the game, you’ve got this! 😁
@@AverageImposter thanks a ton!! Already tot 1:50 chap 1 and 3:20 chap 2, now to the third one!! Not looking forward to it, but i gotta learn it
I love this so much I can’t wait to do this and I Believe I’m your 1000 subscriber if I’m not that’s fine I’m going to get sub hour soon I can feel
YO LETS GOOOOOO THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT! You’ve got this!!
Just started playing Celeste about a month and a half ago. I played the HELL out of it. (around 85hrs) and tried speedrunning. Got a top time of around 1:05:26. I’m used to speedrunning, I’ve done it for a while, mainly SM64.
This video cut my time to a *49:54*. No joke, the routing here was my main issue. Huge time saves I didn’t know about, and awesomely in-depth. That Summit 2500 orb skip made me cry inside.
Well made!
Whoa that’s absolutely insane what the heck! Biiiiiig ggs! Thanks so much 😁 sub 50 video coming soon!
@@AverageImposter I’ll look forward to it! I’ve since got my time down to a 47:34, can’t wait to see what strats you’ve got in store
watching this video having just been running 7A and nothing else (I got a 13:46 so far)!! I have caved and am finally seeking speedrun advice instead of working the techs out on my own
"if you're Ridge time is less than seven minutes we’re sitting pretty comfy"
Me with a rigde time of over 7 hours (granted it's my first playthrough)
Oh goodness I don’t even wanna go back and check how long ridge took me the first time. I had like 35 hours of playtime total for the base game first time around lol
I watched this video a while back and just today I got a 59:41. Sub-50 next?
nice, i'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the guides come out 👀 this is a great start to the series
Amazing video! I love the idea of making a video for every skill level. You did a good work with this one, keep It going! 💪
Thank you so much! Working hard to get the next one out soon!
This vid was so helpful! Just went from a 1:35:30 to a 57:40 with these strats
gg bro
Thanks a lot! Helped me get my first sub hour!
Hell yea! Congrats!!
Back again after being shaken a bit, again thankful this exists.
i finished the entire video at school and understood only like 20% of it 💀
welp time to speed when i get home
11:15 I found that it’s easier and faster to do a diagonal dash into the bottom left coin first, then after collecting the next two use the dream block to get to the last one quickly
Thank you so much, because of this video i got in to speedrunning celeste and i just got a 54:53. I'm so happy since i've been practicing for weeks.
LETS GOOOOOO congratulations!! Practice is always rewarded!
I got a time of 59:11 thanks to this but since I play on switch and use the joystick I ended up getting some dumb deaths from dashing the wrong way
Joystick definitely cost me a lot of deaths back when I was using it too but you’ll get the hang of it! I’m glad you were able to get sub hour with the help of this video!
I hate resort.
It has amazing music but I f**cking hate the map
Honestly, it grows on ya. Very hard to learn, but super rewarding!
Over a year since I started running Celeste and first watched this and I still ocme back to this video regularly. Partially to look back on how far of come, partially to brush up and make sure I haven't forgotten any of the foundational strategies, and partially just because it's a great video. Thanks so much for making this, and I hope some day we get the sub 40 video! (Although just using the tips from the sub 50 vid I've already reached a low 39- but don't think that doesnt mean im hungry for more content like this!)
interestingly enough, i do a lot of these in my il runs other than the cycle stuff, my best bet is to probably practice up resort, temple, and ridge and i should be good to get a sub hour. im still not majorly confident since my best times put together are ~57 minutes but hey might as well try
Trying is what’ll get ya there! The cycle stuff is always good to have a plan for them it just becomes another room that gets done. You got this!
I have a 48 minute Any% time and I did not know about the climb jump stamina tech, more you know
I still don’t even have it in my muscle memory with a 32 any% so I don’t blame ya, but definitely good for consistency
26:26 when you get some more *advanced mechanics under your belt*
also averageimposter: *extended hyper into a corner boost into a reverse wavedash into an ultra and using the momentum of the ultra to up right dash into badeline*
Oops, just the simple things no big deal 😬
I got a 59:27 on my second attempt after watching this video
Ayyyyy congrats!! That’s awesome! Are you gonna keep running the category?
@@AverageImposter I got a 53 minute run a few nights ago actually, do you think you could make a sub 50 strat video?
i love this video i got motivated to speedrun the game and almost did sub 2 hours on my very frist attempt thank you a lot! which this video i am truly motivated to get the sub hour 🤩
Let’s goooooo you got this!!
Update:i keep getting Faster and now my PB its a 1:07 close
Runs that i got bettwen
Sub 1:50
Sub 1:30 skiped 1:40 pog
1:18
1:16
Got a 1:05 :( its was sub hour potencial just needed a 18 summit but my nervous was to high and cound't Control also its had an insane resort almost sub 8
just got a 1:02 i chocked summit and with that im going to review the video and try again i got an INSANE TIME in the others and i leaved reflection with sub 40 and i ended up no even doing sub 20 summit
This video is great. I already have a sub 1 hour (55 minutes) but I learned tons of good stuff like the time skip in chapter 5 (yes I was getting the keys for this one and didn't know yet about the secret bubble). This will surely help me get close to sub 50 :)
GL on sub 50! You can do it!!
@@AverageImposter Thanks! I made 48:49 and still a lot of room for improvement (my death count is still quite high). So eventually I think I can get near 45 mins with my current routing and movement. Thanks again for your well done video.
Thanks for this video - it is wonderfully made. After lots and lots of practice, I worked my way from 1:20 to 1:15 to 1:10 to 1:05 and then...1:02...and 1:01, and finally just scored a 59min 10sec with 140 deaths. Definitely room to keep going, too.
CONGRATS! That’s some huuuuuge progress! Hopefully I can get the sub 50 video out before you break that barrier!
@@AverageImposter I'm at sub 52 - where that video?! lol
@@paulballance7943 check back in a week from now 👀
I've been speedrunning casually for 6 months or so now, and after finding this video, I got my time down to 1:20:25 or so. but after the sub-50 starts video, I managed to get a sub hour with a 59:30! I know it'll take a while for the next one to come out (just see the delay between sub-hour and sub-50), but I'm super excited and can't wait.
YOOOOOO huge!! Hopefully it won’t be THAT long until the sub 40 😂 but hopefully I can get it to ya sooner rather than later!
si tehre a videoo where io can learn how to use the speedrun tool?
This guide was very very helpful, I was able to get a 54:03 by this after practicing.
Congrats!! 54:03 is huuuuuuuge
Damn, thanks for this incredible guide, I followed it and the IL videos and got my first sub hour (57:33) aftet only a week of training! Now aiming for sub 50 and maybe 40 after
Thank you! I am so close with 1:09.10 as my current time. This helps a bunch!
Ayyyy you’ll make it there in no time! So glad that it’s been helpful 😁
Just bought that game yesterday and I liked it so much and could tell I'd love to speedrun. Unfortunately seems like my job will be a bit difficult, as I play on console, but I'll stick it out nonetheless!
Aahhhhh console is always tricky but definitely can still do so much!! Best of luck 😁
I was quite tired of all these Celeste attempts but after watching this video it give me a nice boost to continue, thank you!!
You got this! Sometimes Celeste can be overwhelming but something that’s kept me going is knowing everything can happen in due time! With any amount of practice you can do whatever you set out to accomplish 😁
Thank you so much for making this video, I just got my first sub hour run thanks to this
I searched how to beat Celeste and this was the top video
When are you going to make the sub-50 minute video? Also this video is great!
Also 28:15 is the best way I’ve ever seen that segment of the game shown.
Hahahaha too late I already got 49:20 lol
It’s been in the works! Currently done with strat building, writing up the script 😁 it’s pretty far along..
Something I've noticed is for any room with rithm blocks, like finding b sides or that part of farewell, is you wont respawn at the same point in the cycle every time because the blocks follow the music, so dying on different beats will respawn you at different points
Yep! The only way to reset the cycle is to leave the room and come back in
I really wish ps4 had speedrunning mods like that
God I know :( id get it on other systems too if that were the case
I just found this after getting sub-one hour for the first time - interesting to see some of your recommendations that I was already doing and others I had no idea about. Great video, thank you.
When ever I play a platformer I'm always trying to beat each room very quickly dieing a lot because I always find it easier (and more fun sometimes) to find a death cycle route then to just be patient.
Death cycles are always fun and very important to learn in speedrunning! Lots of top runners resort to having a backup plan in a lot of problematic rooms if things don’t go the way they plan to
I did my first speed run of this game
you ar sus
You deserve waaay more subscribers
Wow thank you! 😁 I can’t believe we’re almost at 2k already tbh
Mmm... I don't know why but even though I use wave dashes, skips, crouch dashes I still don't get sub 1 hour... Its probably the Deaths since I usually get Atleast 100 deaths per run...
Also definitely not an alt account of the nr1 nessi fan
O hi not nr1 nessi alt account, yeeeee deaths can take up a tooooon of time. But once you start minimizing it then everything falls into place
I love that you explain it so excited!
great tutorial im surprised that it doesnt have that many views
Thank you! It’s honestly got more views than I was anticipating lol
I just beat sub 1 hour!! Ty so much for making it easy for someone who doesn’t have the fingers of a TAS bot (I use a controller)
YOOOOO congrats! I also use controller. No worries, the next parts of this series will get ya fingers there!
I already used all these strays in my casual playthrough and after b sides, I can confidently do most of these tricks. One problem: I’m bad at not dying! Lmao
Lol not dying is surprisingly hard! But you got this 😁 just keep going at it!
I wanna get good but I’m on Xbox and we don’t have version 1.4 for some reason so I can’t demo dash or fast menu or anything. Rn I’m obviously not at a level where that’s a huge deal but it’s still sad
This has been a lot of complaints I’ve seen unfortunately :( hopefully they’ve got 1.4 on the way for Xbox, but highly recommend the PC version if possible regardless since the extra modded tools help so much!
