I just started watching celeste speedruns and tbh i didnt understand what was happening the most part of the time, thx for this video i like how u explain

[tokisuno]

me a melee player: man celeste looks so cool but idk if id play much

this video: celeste has wavedashing

me: god damn it im in

[Helaman]

I love Celeste. The b side and c sides are basically speed running tutorials. It’s really smart. Take your most dedicated fans and teach them to speed run. That way your game stays relevant for longer. Brilliant

I'm not new to celeste speedrunning, but this video is so well put together and entertaining, that i still enjoyed every second of it.
Massive props to you and anyone else who worked on this one, projects like that have a massive impact on the celeste community as a whole.

Excited to see what mechanic you'll cover next :)

If you're planning analog stick I highly recommend a gamecube controller or another controller with a octagonal gate for more consistent dashes

[kumorineleo]

This was fantastic. I'm nowhere near at speedrunning Celeste, but the hidden mechanics would be useful on Side B areas

[mugtoasterr]

OMG I got Celeste a month ago, and beat 7 chapters then wanted to try out Hyperdashing. You are the BEST teacher I've ever seen

+1 sub HAHAHA :)

[Piton]

Surreal! I can’t decide what impresses me more: the developers hiding it or players figuring it out and mastering theses skills. Hats off for both!

[Noved]

The modding scene for Celeste has some of the best maps! For anyone wanting to learn tech in depth, the 2020 spring collab is an amazing and polished project. It has 5 chapters based on different difficulties, each having a gym that helps teach them! Its amazing

[vgzimrlankey]

To learn mechanics, definitely complete the game (inc c9) and i recommend the modded map spring 2020 collab (they have gyms for each difficulty that teach you mechanics) i managed to learn a LOT from these :)

[ameliasmith]

This video is so polished, can't wait to see what else you have in store

[someoninte]

Tip for controller stick users: GameCube controllers with the notches are VERY useful because it gives the precision of the dpad and is a joystick. I also found the face button layout pretty useful for just going through the game.

[Amoongus]

This video reminded me of how simple the moveset seemed when I started playing Celeste, how wrong I was...

[lilponcle]

Solid tutorial. I feel like this will be a lot for new players to take in, but it’s pretty easy to digest. Good stuff!

[Eze]

I am having hard time trying to beat chapter 9 so I decided to try and learn some speedrun tricks to try and help me complete it, this is the perfect video for that kind of guides. very informative and detailed and to add to that there are visuals and key directions too! thank you for this!

[TheTroupeMasterGrimm]

So you just finished summit.

Me: for your information…. I have yet to play this game…

[nene_]

Great work on this video! I’ll definitely show this to my friends that are newer to Celeste speedrunning.

[LazyBN]

bro finished chapter 8 with 2 deaths wtf

[thalant]

This video has so much effort put into it, good job!

[batbec]

great video, you explained everything very well. as someone who is new to celeste speedrunning i'll be keeping this as a handy reference guide, thanks a bunch!
