Caramel being 2:47 pace, and then dying to the level 12 spikes three times in a row, was such a slap in the face. It looked brutal enough watching this video, I can't imagine what it must've been like to actually experience it.
the best part is that the fix changes 2 lines and about 5-10 characters in the code, and evgeniy should have just done it that way in the first place because it looks so much better
I'm usually very stingy on questions like that, but in this case it seems completely fine. I wouldn't even call it a spike fix, it basically just enforcers consistent framerate.
There's an epidemic of "Speedrun World Record History" videos that are almost exclusively about who the runners were and what the times were, which is an egregious missed opportunity. This kind of video that shows what their successes and failures were, the narratives and walls, community goals, etc- We need more like this.
This man may not know why his first RB video blew up, but I'm pretty confident it's that he's nailed the art of engaging storytelling for speedrunning.
Caramel, man. I feel so bad for that guy, just spending all that time grinding to get minimal results. It says a lot about your videography that I can get so invested in this game, despite never having played it and only hearing about it for the first time through your videos. Looking forward to the next one!
17:46 - Congrats on both your sub 3, as well as immediately cementing “The tingles just won’t go away!” into its iconic meme status for your community lol. I don’t know that’s the case, but how could it not be?? In before “The tingles” emote lmao. Hell of a day all around, brother!
As a fellow speedrunner, this was another well documented story. Never played redball, but I can feel the pain of the spike RNG caramel must have felt. My main speedrunning game lasts about 1 hour with the last levels being RNG when it comes to timeloss since it depends on enemy spawns and objectives. Which can be hassle. Losing time by something that is out of your control can really be taxing especially in late game. Even though redball is a short speedrun in itself, all the perfects tricks you need to pull off to just be even on pace can be as taxing as playing a longer game. Here it comes down to frames to even get a PB. Never have played redball before, but I could feel each runners' victory and choke in this vid. Stress can be huge when going for record or PB pace and you clearly visualised this in the story telling. When it comes to redball, you're the summoningsalt for this franchise imo :D always a fun watch to see a new vid of yours. Very well explained, sprinkled with a bit of humor here and there, and when it comes to explaining difficult or technical stuff, the visuals really help to understand your explanation. Can't even imagine how long it takes to document everything, grab footage and come up with visuals just to tell an intriguing story when it comes to the niche sport of speedrunning :D
I've been watching your videos since the first redball speedrun video and I've watched almost every single video of yours and seeing your channel grow and your editing improve is honestly amazing. Everytime you make a video I think that you can't top yourself, but you somehow manage to not only improve your video quality, but also your storytelling. Thank you for making such amazing content.
I only recently found your older videos of this, loved them, and was instantly upset that there hadn't been any updates for almost 3 years. Was super excited to see this pop up, and am stoked to see the "finale."
Damn, this is easily your most well-produced video. The pacing, editing, and presentation are all top notch! Love to see how you've improved over the years.
This video excited me so much that I legitimately was unable to click the video for a few days XD I first got into the game about a year ago, and I kinda was just. Out of date. And this intro is TOO EXCITING PLS MAX I CAN'T HANDLE IT. Seriously though. The return to the 3:07, even as someone who wasn't around when it happened, was still too much XD And seeing you bring up the IL side? Like. COME ON! The best part is that I had kinda caught myself up, so hearing you mention stuff like the *INSANE* IL SoB, and even show Starline getting *SUB 11 TRAIN* is just. TOO EXCITING. Of every video that could be made EVER, this is probably #2 for the most exciting one. (Only behind getting a Sequel to my fav video ever). I legit don't even think a theoretical Odyssey 2 announcement trailer would have this beat XD The craziest part is that even after writing all this, there is still just. More to how excited I am. I just both don't have the time, or the energy to write about it now lol. I'll probably add updates to this comment every once in a while. (For that reason. This comment was initially made at 7:00 PM on March 16th 2024) Edit Later 7:00 PM: I already have more to talk about XD The thing is. Even after watching it once. This video is still too much XD I clicked the video... And then went to leave this comment because this meant so much to me... And now I can't click unpause due to the same stun I was talking about on Line 1 XD (Does anyone have a better word to describe this than "Overwhelming excitement"? Oh yeah, saying "I clicked the video" is actually a lie. As an excuse to help me not have that stun, I decided to put all your RB1 WR Progression videos into a playlist. And now, I got to this one in the playlist. Edit 7:04 PM that same day: WHY MAX THIS IS TOO MUCH I just watched *7 SECONDS* AND I'M COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED. SOMEONE SEND HELP (jk on the help part... Kinda lol) Edit 7:05 PM that same day: I watched 3 more seconds. And I think you can guess what I'm about to say. THIS IS TOO MUCH I am just gonna say. I am 1000% gonna feel this way for a little while. I don't think I need to keep saying it Edit 7:08 PM that same day: Oh yeah. When I watched this for the first time, I remember feeling an insane feeling when I remembered that Niftski and Miniland are top RB1 runners XD (As while as Top Tier SMB1 runners)
It's crazy how much the red ball speedrun community grew from your channel and the impact it had on speedrunning in the game. I can't wait for the next part 👀
I'm consistently shocked by how the best speedrun history channel on TH-cam covers red ball and other Flash games. I never thought the janky platformers I would sneakily play in class or late at night as a kid could be so interesting, but the movement is actually crazy. Every time a new red ball video comes out, I get tempted to re-watch the old ones. Dunno why I wasn't subbed until now
48:19 "If you get 4x I am starting wrp" Indeed he did and I am sooo pleasant for that thank you max you make my day even better and can't wait to part 2
i remember discovering this game randomly when i was a kid and super excited to see that one video on my recommended in 2021, I'm so happy this simple game is still as popular as ever and thank you maximum for covering it all :D
Really funny when everyone started changing their username to their country. Sorta irrelevant fun fact, Sweden, Poland and Lithuania, the 3 countries in the top 3 spots on the leaderboard at the end of this video, were all ruled by the same person from 1592-1599, Sigismund III Vasa.
I can't believe it's been 1/2 years since I first watched one of your Red Ball speedrun videos.. And how people have so much time and patience to be able to just speedrun a flash game for hours straight with multiple frame perfect for each LEVEL. I could never imagine myself getting even close to their level
Congratulations to everyone involved, this is magnificent. And thanks for making this video, must have taken quite a while to make and without it, we mere mortals would not even know the glory of red ball.
I saw that sawblade clearing run at timestamp 2:39, i was waiting the whole video to see it explained, and now i have a pretty good idea of what you're going to explain next video.
Maximum, I love your videos a lot, especially the wr progression ones and red ball ones. I am in to speedrunning flash games now, and i thank you because i would never have as much fun as i am now speedrunning. Thank you. Also, i just finished watching every video of yours for the 3rd time. You're amazing
Fantastic video once again this documentary style of video is honestly some of my favorite stuff to throw on when I’m eating or some shit and you absolutely delivered
It feels good to see how the game developed over time. I too want to get involved with the community but it is not the place for me. Still though i think the red ball speedrun space is one of the most fun and wholesome spaces i have seen on the internet. I wish the very best to all the speedrunners and TASers and everyone else associated. And maximum being honest you uploading videos like this was the catalyst needed for the chain reaction. Thqnk you have q good day
good to see ypu back, maxuimum. if that is even your real name also got baited. i knew 51 mins was too short to explain all the new developments in red ball.
I mean, it really isn’t that bad of a laptop. Part of the lag did come from recording the screen as well. There were plenty of people back in the day dealing with even worse spike glitch consistency
speedrunners when they find out a "more consistent" setup (it has only 72 frame perfects)
true
fr
Geometry Dash players trying to explain how doing 200 frame perfects in 3 minutes is "fun"
LMAOOO
3 frame perfects: this is way too much
4 insane frame perfects: very easy
NorXor couldn’t grab the flag at the end of level ten this run, making him tonight’s Big Loser
:(
I'm with ya pal, don't worry
I feel you...
Womp womp womp
gg guys
I will never not watch the entirety of the speedrun history of an obscure flash game I’ve never played
if u never played red ball u missed out
its like watching a summoning salt video of a 2 hour explaination of why he was the best player of a NES game from 30 years ago
It is NOT obscure at all. Still epic tho
Play it 😭

Vertic! You should speedrun Red Ball btw. I think you would be really good at it!
Ehh idk, not really my style of game. Maybe I'll try it someday
@@MaximumI want to try speedrunning, but why does the mobile game look completely different now?
Vertic play vex egegegegeegegeegegegeegegeege

Caramel didn't quit, he just gave the rest of the runners a chance
lol
also where are the replys
@@PixelZyxelPH it's an underrated comment
Nah bro is wild
it's good to see friendly rival between top contestants
Every video from your channel is literally an instant click for me man, keep it up
Appreciate it Ricky, your channel is the same way for me!
Both my favorite youtubers in the same place, heck yeah.
14:18 bird nuts is a hilarious strategy name, I would love to see that
the speedrunning philosophy experts in the comment section will NOT be happy about the spike glitch fix
I am greatly looking forward to all of the thoughtful debates I will be having in the coming months
the best part is that the fix changes 2 lines and about 5-10 characters in the code, and evgeniy should have just done it that way in the first place because it looks so much better

Jokes aside, im very happy to have been a part of this and this video is very very awesome :)
Thanks for all of the help with making it! I had to post it early enough for the euro bros to see :^)
@Maximum its all my pleasure man 🔥🔥🔥
Omg it's the entire country of sweden
As a fellow swed, I appriciated that you were representing me.

The techniques are the really interesting part to me. All the frame-perfect glitches and exploits to save a few seconds

bro i got like a 350 ms reaction time i dont get how anyone does that shit
@@smoceany9478you can practice that, and better equpment helps too
@@smoceany9478 keep in mind it could be because of yout monitor, they can have huge delays.
@@matiasgarciacasas558 maybe but i dont think so, my reaction seems slow in real life too
@@matiasgarciacasas558 this is true, I went from 190-200 to 150-160 by getting a new monitor
Looking forward to the Mario Bros invasion arc. "Sup guys, did anyone say frame-perfect inputs?"

the way all those jumps were synked up with the jetpack joyride theme was *chefs kiss*
new hour long maximum redball video we are so back

no mention of Motorjam's world record of 2:47 set a week before yak's 2:48? I thought you did your research, what a shame...

i cant wait for my favorite redball speedrun explained speedrunner youtuber man with hat to two part explain the red ball game speedy speedrun
never thought i would be watching a 50 minute video explaining the speedrun history of a game called "red ball", but welp here i am
I know this is so not the point, but you syncing the songs to the inputs of the runners was the cherry on top. Don’t think I didn’t notice 😏
Fantastic video once again this documentary style of video is honestly some of my favorite stuff to throw on when I’m eating or some shit and you absolutely delivered
I just watched all the other red ball videos... and then you posted this one in less than 24 hours, well played
Absolutely love to see a Maximum upload
Great video like allways, you've become 1 of my favorite Creators on this platform
Seeing another long Maximums video always cheers me up. Can't wait for part 2.
epic vid. can't wait for the last one
After 4 months of no maximum content it is over and we have a 50 minute red ball video to watch
Thank you
Maximum is the reason I have no motivation to game whatsoever. Subbed.
Great video! Can’t wait for the next.
deadass found this channel today and been binging everything the timing on this vid is perfect 😍
Yay, love these videos! I hope we'll get a video on new developments in Red Ball 4, as a sub-2 was reached
25:18 Finns stay mad, Åland is now officially recognized as Swedish clay by the Redball speedrunning community
RAAAHHHH 💪💪💪
New Maximum video makes my day :)
Finally, I've been patiently waiting and asking for this. Amazing work Maximum!
Man I just commented on your previous video from 2 years back a few days ago asking for a sub-3 update. mashallah
my child will watch grown men spend their lives on an obscure flash game and enjoy it
35:43 the moment when you remember something cringy you did years ago
Been waiting so long for a new redball vid. I'm so excited. Love this channel!

I was like "this video only covers like 6 months wtf"
But I stayed to the end and now I'm all hyped up
cant wait, love watching your red ball videos :D
Man this game keeps on giving, cant go a year without something wild coming up
You're great!
I think you're the best red Ball speedrunner ever!
I love these videos and I hope you continue getting more and more attention for them, and toward the games you play.
great video, i remember how i was able to get my 2:58 around the caramel domination era, but the strats have just become so precise at this point lol
Ohh boyy how excited I am about the next video...

Another maximum banger dropped i see, time to go get popcorn!
Holy guacamole i cannot express how excited i am for these vids
This video was really fun to watch 🙏
good to see ypu back, maxuimum. if that is even your real name
also got baited. i knew 51 mins was too short to explain all the new developments in red ball.
Great video the jetpack joyride music was a great track to play during the first sub 2:50 also good munecraft music remix at the end
I remember watching your videos while eating lunch during distance learning lol good to see you still upload
you know it's gonna be a good day when maxicum uploads a red ball video
I've Been Waiting For This!
31:55 The pain I felt when my computer showed up on the screen. My potato isn’t slow, it’s just not fast
I mean, it really isn’t that bad of a laptop. Part of the lag did come from recording the screen as well. There were plenty of people back in the day dealing with even worse spike glitch consistency
Poor guy has to update the script for next video. Gg Niftski
YESSSS im so excited.... im so glad there is another rb1 video to binge watch ! :DDD
Here I was _celebrating_ when Max hits the 2:55 then I tap the screen and realize *_The video isn't even HALFWAY over_* 💀💀💀
Nice video documentary! I can’t wait for the next one!
I could never use this much of my energy on red ball but I'm glad to see your happy at least ~w~
Nice job bringing people to the game, maximum.

One word to describe this video , a Banger.
