    Since its inception in 2009, the red ball series has had a very interesting and unique history. Likewise, the speedrunning scene that surrounds it contains events, strategies, and stories that may be somewhat unknown or hidden to casual observers. In 2021, a Red Ball Speedrunning iceberg was created in order to collect these various aspects and topics, ordered from most known to least. Moving down the layers, the light from the sun shines dimmer and dimmer, as the relative knowledge of the topics becomes more sparse. This video will aim to analyze just the first three layers of this iceberg, the surface, while the subsequent part will aim to explain the bottom three, the depths.

    Also, for any new runners out there, I highly recommend playing the fifth game in the series, Red Ball 5. It's a little underrated because it's not an official game in the series, but it's a very neat game nonetheless. Please play it, I am begging you.

    The uneven ground might be an explanation for double jump? The brief window in which you can jump in midair might be a safety net to make sure uneven ground doesn’t lock you out of jumping.

    • @Maximum
      @Maximum  2 года назад +1

      Yeah, we believe that mid-air jumps or "coyote jumps" exist partially because of the uneven ground. The mechanic doesn't exist in Red Ball 3, so the bumpy ground just causes jumps to be completely missed. A buggy implementation of coyote jumping is likely why double jumping exists.
