Imagine a run being so outrageously long that someone finds an entirely new skip well after it starts and the runner can just incorporate it on the spot.
Happened in Zelda as well, if I bad don't remember.

@@Ender_Onryo indeed
@@Ender_Onryothat’s exactly what I thought of when I saw this vid, along with the link/rupees skip in twilight princess
i sit around and do nothing for hours at a time
Had a great time working with Sushi on this! If you have any questions about the run, I _might_ see it if you reply to this, but I'll definitely see it if you comment on the vid linked in the description!
I played this game a while back and it was by far the hardest platformer i played
I would like to formally apologise to your computer for making it sit running for so long, may its fans have a good rest
As someone who dipped their toe into Celeste speedrunning, I’d be curious if this would have any applications in the minimum dashes category? Or if those rooms requiring dashes are mostly with dream blocks and not spinners
euni my goat
@@monkeyman55667 This definitely saves dozens of dashes for TAS but the minimum dashes category isn't really run by humans because many of the dash saves require multiple frame perfect inputs and subpixel precision

When I saw the title I was immediately like: “this either low% or 100%”
and it was both!
Reminds me of the Twilight Princess low% run where you stare at a rupee for 17 hours to glitch through a wall to avoid grabbing a key
nice pfp
Speedrunners have made Link go through hells not even Ganon thought of.
hewwo fellow trans person :3
i love it when devs make a mistake where animations dont loop and let you phase through walls
The difference is, of course, scale. Instead of running the game overnight and while you're at work, you need to leave it running for almost five full days. Four times.
I never thought a video about doing nothing would grab me, but Msushi pulled it off!
I see what you did there
ha, grab
It is truly an example suited for the museums so we may teach future generations about this
They carried the video pacing well
there is another video about a low% speedrun and afking for hours
celeste speedrunners in 2020: spikes are a suggestion
celeste speedrunners in 2023: what is a spike?
"What is a spike? Nothing more than a miserable little pile of pixels!" -- Madeline, probably
This reminds me of Hollow Knights Low% True Ending run where you kill bees in the same room for 45 hours
Essence grind my beloved
Me too.
Is there a video explaining this?
Do you have to actively kill them? Because staying at your controller that long sounds way harder than going afk for 3 weeks
@@nadeen3157 You can macro it but its less efficient than actually standing there killing them. The speedrunner Skurry has the wr I think and yea, they stood there for the full 46 hours just killing bees
finally, a Celeste run that mirrors my own approach to mental health struggles
Exactly!
As soon as you hear a timer based value that relies on a floating point you know the glitch is gonna involve several hundreds of hours waiting
The limits of Low% categories are always hella interesting to watch, great video as always man 💙
when is 602 highlights dropping
(jk)
I love how the rules eliminate the "half a-press" debacle outright by instead counting how many times you have to grab a wall.
Half an a-press is not a debate, it's a notation. Just means you're holding an a press between uses
@@ExplosivePine They said debacle, not debate.
@@Snakebyte42 oh I'm so sorry. I guess that's what happens when you're browsing TH-cam at 3am xD
don't worry, we still have it in minimum jumps! old site is 0.5 jump presses
@@RichConnerGMN XD
Neat video thanks for covering it! The comment at the end "honestly I'm offended by the concept of doing this again" is the most hilarious thing I've ever heard by a WR holder.
plot twist: the glitch was intentional and it was just the developer's way of saying "you've been here for 118 hours. i'll help you get through this as best i can, but *please* take a break"
there's no way this could be intentional; unless they're being really smart with floating point imprecision
Most likely an engine limitation or careless programming. There is no logical reason to store an integer number of frames in a float variable unless integer data types simply don't exist (like in JavaScript).
So this is the reason why the latest TAS has achieved things never seen before
Since that day, I wondered how they were managing to go through certain spikes that you would never think were possible
Doctor: You only have 16 grabs left to live
Me:
Imagine a speedrun moderator finds out that someone cheated this type of run he gon just leave it cause he ain't watching all that
Speedrunners are insane. Low percent speedrunners are beyond insanity.
I feel bad for the speedrun moderators
I think my new favorite categories of speedrun are all the ones where the optimal strategy takes literal days.
The term "longplay" has been given new meaning.
And I thought the 17 hour wait in Twilight Princess was long holy carp
The Mario 64 DS minimum b button TAS would theoretically take 20000 years!
@@KieranDavy Dude, ok pls elaborate
@@axehead45 look up Adeal’s TASes improvements using RIG and for a description of the technique, click on the video in the description. Yoshi can swallow an objects and every time this happens, the ID increases by 1 until it overflows after over 4 billion objects are eaten. Then, when the ID of the object is the same as this star, it can be eaten and the star is collected. This can take hundreds or sometimes thousands of years each time it is used and it is used each time the b button would otherwise have to be used to jump. However, it was made into its own category because of its power and the ridiculous amount of time required. Edited because the explanation was wrong + more detail
Hollow knight has you killing bees for 20-45 hours (manual or macro) to grind dream essence just to reduce completion percentage from 26% to 23% out of 112%, which isn't as crazy as celeste, but still, come on, those poor bees-
Celeste is rare for me in that I followed the game from the start, not realizing at its release how popular it'd be for speedrunning. So as such, despite not being a speedrunner, I had the unique opportunity to follow how strats developed and encourage as a fan and even friend to some streamers in their efforts to complete their runs and find new strategies.
Despite all that, I had _no_ idea this insane minimum grabs run was a thing. Thanks for informing it!
6:23
"The community discovered that spikes don't actually do anything."
Imagine if normal spikes would unload their hitbox too, but only after an integer overflow on time or so, requiring several months of waiting. Suddenly, traffic blocks with spikes that were required grabs become standable
floating point variables are the pot of greed of speedrunning videos at this point
Reminds me of Hollow Knight's Low% TE story a lot. Minimum something run. More stuff than just normal ending. Spending the majority of the run on one thing. Only one person did it once, then returned to it after a huge new discovery.
Skurry is a blessing upon the world of ridiculous hk speedrun categories
@@violettiaras realllllll
If only Sample had known about these strats when doing his Celeste run lol
My thoughts exactly
Maybe he'll come back to it, lol
Thank you for giving this infamous category the attention it deserves!
omg a real fux, can I pet?
@@olekkatan6614 only if I can eat your bread
Imagine if that float was a double and suddenly you have to wait for a year for this to happen.
this is basically doing part of a speedrun every 5 days lol. im imagining someone buying a whole new pc for this speedrun in particular while they practice during the 5 days of break, its so impractical but funny
I have no idea why they would use a float instead of a discrete integer type to store the active time, but I'm glad they did if it gives us this run lol.
Because the variable is also used for a lot of visual stuff, and it has to account for different game speeds so they couldn't really make it a fixed integer amount.
@@SSM24_ Nanoseconds, kiddo. Just store the number of nanoseconds in a 64 bit integer. That should be good for half a millennium.
A lesson in "don't make everything a bloody float"
Is it though? No normal player is ever going to leave the game running for 118 straight hours in order for the glitch to happen.
@@ViperhawkX I never experienced a single bug playing Celeste and now I'm getting a lot of entertainment out of this video. So I don't mind the floats
@@ViperhawkX It's a lesson for the programmer, in case they made a vital variable in an otherwise secure program a float, in which something like this could be exploited by hackers.
Summoning Salt and now Msushi? Today is a brilliant day to be a speedrun enthusiast!
Mushi
Agreed
I feel like making/using a mod that increases the TimeActive variable should be fair game. It would definitely increase the amount of people willing to try the run.
Currently, I dont think it would be able to count under speedrun verification,however, given the fact that the run isnt exactly moderated, not a bad idea
@@vividescence That's what I mean, I feel that the moderation should allow that for this category. Maybe make the mod still affect the ingame timer. It won't be the first game. Crosscode speedruns for example permit a specific mod that allows you to set your fps to 60(I think) for specific skips.
Oh please. Speedrunning communities winge over skipping 30 minutes of unskippable cutscene at the start of a game, allowing a mod to skip 400 hours of pointless AFKing is out of the question.
@@stevethebarbarian9876 did a speedrun mod kill your parents or something
@@stevethebarbarian9876it depends. Portal 1 runners are allowed to skip the intro in the relaxation chamber
damn those traffic blocks! insane dedication on doing this run though, god bless Euniverse cat
absolute insanity and dedication, props to the people who have this much persistene

"Unless we find another game-breaking glitch"
You mean _until_ , surely.
NEW MSUSHI VIDEO !!! annd it's about a celeste challenge run !!! banger video as always
OMG NEW MSUSHI LETSGO
Didn't think I'd see Blue in the recent comment section but here I am.
low% always makes the funniest discoveries. Love the twist they bring to speed running. I wonder if these games should consider using a cheat or smth to skip time (and add it retroactively to the final time) so that the runs can be submitted more realistically (472 hours is daunting and gates the run off from ppl, i think the 17hr rupee isnt so bad as you can realistically do it in weekend but how many people are willing to wait 3 weeks?)
At 6:31 theres FTL music. I immeadetely recognized it in the first second of hearing it, and you actually credited it in the description! Thank you allot, please play FTL for everyone reading this.
7:55 I LOVE when portal music starts up. You know it's an Msushi video when there's suddenly portal music. Such good vibes.
This just in: Trans Woman refuses to grab things while climbing a mountain, stands completely still for 472 hours to change the physics of reality so she can grab things less. “just because i’m on the emotional journey of self discovery doesn’t mean I have to get my hands dirty” more at 11
Hot person activities frfr
I was literally planning on starting this waiting game today, and then I saw this video in my feed LOL
Good video, though! It's way better than the video I'm making on this topic
I just so happened to be talking about this particular challenge yesterday for any%, very convenient to see coverage for 100% which I was curious about.
Really great title and video, keep up the good work
Yoooo FTL music, that game is sick, also the kinda things some people do speedrunning is completely nuts. Great Video
love your videos msushi
1:20 “a grab press is a grab press, you can’t say it’s only a half”
tj strikes again it seems
Reminds me of the twilight princess speedrun where you have to stand still to move slowly backwards through a gate because one frame of animation is missing so it stops one frame further back than it starts 😂
It’s a great day to be an Msushi fan
happy to have another celeste related video
HELL YEAH MSUSHI UPLOAD GOES HARD‼️‼️💥🙏
honestly this is the video that got me to get celeste.. and it's amazing. so thanks! :)
This reminds me a lot of that Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess low% speedrun XD

it s a new msushi video about the game i am just finishing! what are the odds feeling blessed
YES your Celeste videos are so good
I love the use of the FTL sound track, super fun game, great soundtrack
You know, I already knew this, but I had to give it a watch
I love how silly some glitches sound but in practice help so much
my attention span has increased just for this video
thanks msushi 👍
baba is you ost absolutely caught me offguard. made me smile:D
6:58 I didn't know the stand "King Crimson" existed in real life, but here we are :)
7:48 why does it feel like vsauce music was about to kick in at that pause?
Oh man that ftl track is such nostalgia for me
After finally playing this game myself i can acknowledge how ridiculously difficult these movements are without even needing to try them myself, the speedrun community is insane
It's always the floating points isn't it
3:10 demodashing is officially recognised within the game now, made clear by the fact theres a keybind for it in the newer versions of the game
really good quality video!
gotta love celeste speedrun content :D
Epic video :)
Also you can do it manually if you pause frame perfectly multiple times lol, I’ve actually done it before SOMEHOW
I'm pretty sure I saw a video of someone getting it like 8 times in a row to skip the last part of 2k-3
the 8b one requires over 200 in a row :)

Ngl, forgot Msushis channel existed, so time to binge watch what all I've missed
wait... spinner freeze being acknowledged outside of technical celeste communities? woah
I've never felt a sentence more viscerally in my bones than "Honestly I'm offended by the concept of doing this again"
Celeste should be a proof of how determined humans are
Euni Grabless and Msushi, best day ever
I speeedrun celeste any%, and those tricks confuse me enough. But this... Oh my
greatest crossover episode of all time with two of the best humans
Speedrunners... always asking if they could, never wondering if they should.
Ah, the wonders of low% categories, if it will save you a single percent, jump, grab, coin, ect, even if it adds 100 hours to the run, it instantly invalidates all previous runs without it and REQUIRES you to use it.
Imagine making a miniature mistake in one of those 472 hour runs that lead you to having to scrap the run
Why would you scrap it though if it’s the first one to exist, there is no deadline, besides it’s low%, not a speedrun
@@ireallydontknowifiamhonest a low% is the type of speedrun in this scenario
@@vorez_ i suppose that makes sense
In context, the minimum grabs RTA run does not count grabs for any non-completion of a room. So if you have to grab in the start of a room, then die near the end of the room, as long as you dont 'save' the grab by room transitioning, it doesnt count. This ruleset comes from a similar challenge run that does have a leaderboard
Edit: if you somehow room transition and mess up with a grab, rip run
eventually, madeline stopped thinking
I love speedrunners so much lmao. The knowledge of the games is just unreal, its just awesome. Whether its using SRM or ACE, whether its a 100% glitchless run, and everything in between, I love it all.
Ill never understand why people get so angry about glitched runs. "Ohh theyre not even playing the game" youre right, theyre solving a puzzle they created, its fun lol. Thats what categories are for.
I didn't know about the dead spinner glitch thing. Pretty fascinating! I hope you do more Celeste vids
I feel like it's just not a well-worn low% or minimum x run of a game without a reason to sleep mid-run or go relax for a few weeks. It's like the reverse of how any% for a lot of games turns into a credits warp.
Spinner stun is so funny
I don't know man, this sure seems like a lot, maybe even too much done in 472 hours. You might have to beat this, tbh live on stream.
Baba is you music goes so well with celeste
