Celeste Any% in 24:58.023

?????????

comments on the run:
wasn't the best temple exit but the second half just crushed it, absurd reflection split even with timeloss in reprieve and I somehow didn't die in summit. flag 1 was an embarrassment but my heart was pounding out of my chest

The gap between 1st and 2nd place in any% is now over a minute. The next 1-minute difference on the leaderboard doesn't appear until the gap between 4863rd and 4864th (1:50:36 vs 1:52:15)

I don’t know how you do it but you have pushed this game to a level I don’t think anyone expected until at least a year from now.

Insane grind and huge ggs, thanks for making me the only 25 again 😅

[Spirityy]

the flag 1 fumble were beautiful this is what celeste speedrunning is all about... on a more serious note this is an absurd accomplishment, didn't think we would get here so soon! in fact most of the time i thought such a time was not possible lol. but there really is no ceiling for humanity when something is reachable with skill and dedication, you're incredible

[ZheoCeleste]

They always said sub 25 was impossible.

Secure didn't know it was impossible, thus he got it!

[Lmjacks]

missed the 25:00, you'll get it next time champ
(ggs, incredible to see this barrier get broken so soon. truly the best to ever do it)

[GoldenHeartNecklace]

The fact that even the WR fumbles Flag 1 is just the best thing ever, is like no matter the level, we can all still get that heart-in-my-throat feeling when we get there <3

[trevabc]

from appearing out of nowhere with a 1:59 mirror temple b-side to this...
what an accomplishment, gg

[lombre]

"24 is impossible"
secure: "that sign cant stop me cuz i cant read"

[victorjohnson]

I'm just some guy who likes celeste, but this is beautiful. the fact that this run has a few small mistakes is what the game is all about. Godspeed to you my friend.

"Postcard to : Speedrunners

Did you knew it ? It should be impossible to outrun your own reflection."

[kazt]

This time seemed impossible for so long, but if there was someone who could achieve it it was you, and what an achievement it is. Seriously huge congrats, you skill and consistency is so absurd, every time I watched you run it was just awe inspiring because it just didn't even make sense lol. An insane wr for those who aren't too familiar with the game, and an even crazier one for those who are. GGs

[strawberryemma]

this is seriously absurd. your movement is just perfect, it's inspiring to watch. huge congrats, you're a generational talent 😤

congrats on getting pretty good at the game, actually. wasn't expecting anyone to do it

[globglogabgalabyeast]

Absolutely insane. Probably my favorite WR run I've watched (for any game). So many cool strats I had to rewind to fully take in (and sometimes even frame advance). Congrats!

[douze-onze]

That setupless diagonal cornerboost at 25:40 goes WILD

[volanceleste]

LFG huge ggs, if you told me about a 24 run a year ago I wouldn't have believed you, but here we are now.

[funnylittlecreature]

i just put my hand to my face and realized there were tears on my cheek. either this is so impressive that it literally brought me to tears, or there's just *so much going on* on screen that my eyes can't handle it.

[justlookaroundpeople]

Just absolutely incredible the dedication and level of commitment to get a run this optimised is truly insane to think about! Massive Congratulations on the WR and sub 25 you deserve it!

[the_tpm]

these were the best 24 minutes and 58 seconds of my entire life thank you
