I love this stuff. Anyone outside looking in would say "Why are a bunch of adults spending hundreds of hours in a kids flash game?" While the actual game is silly, the pursuit of the fastest speedrun/TAS is all about problem solving, optimization, and dedication. So fun.
@@kurocon6235 Thats sad if thats what you think football is, and plus, you actually get exercize from sports instead of sitting in front of a screen for hours
as one of the few people with a good bit of rb4 tas experience I cannot overstate how good both this run and subsequent explanation is! to put something this technical into such a concise video takes some real talent, big props to starline and max for their hard work on this! stay tuned for more :)
I am honered to have been a part of this community. You guys really got me through the height of quarantine. I learned so much from you guys, especially sage. Love yall
This is incredibly well explained! Adding the jump sounds during the explainers really helped with understanding what you're saying without us having to focus on the keys pressed
if you uploaded the entire red ball 4 tas to tiktok it’d probably get as many views as those videos where people roll glass bottles down staircases until they break
Brute force isn't that intensive on this game specifically, as you can ignore most of the inputs most of the time (you can't jump in the air), and you can save a list of the best times/speeds and stop early any tas that is slower by more than the amount of time it takes to lose that speed (which would cull most of the ones that don't hold right or hold left too much), so the amount of variations of the level is manageable. Note that I haven't seen the brute force tool, but those are "easy" checks to make/things that are intrinsic to the game (e.g. having only 3 buttons) that make brute force manageable.
I adore Red Ball 4 so this is a very welcome video for you. Your videos about the *original* Red Ball were very interesting and all, but I simply haven't had any experience with that game nor its sequels and spinoffs, except for Red Ball 4, which I hold very dearly in my heart as one of the most frequently played Flashgames by me.
I saw the old tas recently and I can say i am freaking floored on the improvements,,, I never thought this game could be as broken as the previous ones!!
The year is 2012 red ball's creater evgeniy fedoseev made a game as quality as possible but evgeniy himself dont think in this series have a forbidden fruit in the games Box2d engine and the dedicated man Max and TAS crew... thats why I love speedrunning so much keeping coming up Max
This game's TAS looks like the TAS in Celeste Farewell's level on the fast few screens, keeping the speed throughout scren transitions and zooming all the way to the end
I'm sure this has to be super flattering to the developers. That any community would put this much time and effort into clearing a game they developed. Though I guess that's not always true. Since the communities are often completely abusing exploits. Some developers, I'm sure, can only see their game not being played at all as intended.
I see you have a ton of corporate clash music in your list, do you play it yourself? Im personally maxed. I was so surprised to hear high roller theme at the beginning haha.
okay, i know the gameplay is insane, but can we talk about the song selection for the video? dude straight up dove into my younger self’s brain and pulled out every banger he could find. especially at level 5- who even remembers mario sports mix???
Wow this video is good! This video and all your other videos are kind of getting me into speedrunning flash games. Also, can you make a video about BFDIA 5B speedrunning?
Back when I was messing with Unity, I solved the problem of permitting double jumps as exploited by this TAS by disabling the ability to jump immediately after jumping, and then re-enabling it when the character is no longer airborne. To do this I implemented a mostly rectangular foot hitbox (the character was for all intents and purposes a circle) that was less wide than the character's circumference, which would be the main indicator of the character's state of motion. Since I never got very far, I'm sure there would be circumstances where the character would exit airborne state without actually ceasing to be airborne, like making contact with a wall in a certain way or something. It seems that Red Ball, instead of tying being able to jump to the grounded state, tied not being able to jump to the airborne state.
Hey, I would like to share a game called Sonic GT, its a game that is relatively unrun, but those who do have found crazy skips, I would just recommend it in general as its a its a super fun take on the 3D sonic formula for free. On top of that, there is a ton of characters, level, and game mode combinations to create so many categories, some being untouched. My favorite are reverse runs because they can take advantage of the wind barriers that are meant to keep you on track to your advantage.
In the Amazon Firestick version of red ball, the “level fail” just makes red ball frown, but it doesn’t actually reset the level. I made a point to try to beat every level with a frown if possible.
Part 2 is now finished; go give it a watch! ruclips.net/video/x17O_aKKvL8/видео.html

The quiet kid:
no
Rolling motion in 7th grade? Rip that kid

The TAS for the first level being generated by a brute force script is absolutely bananas. It makes sense that it would work but man
Brute force isn't that intensive on this game specifically, as you can ignore most of the inputs most of the time (you can't jump in the air), and you can save a list of the best times/speeds and stop early any tas that is slower by more than the amount of time it takes to lose that speed (which would cull most of the ones that don't hold right or hold left too much), so the amount of variations of the level is manageable.

@@satibelthats very likely how it was done. Invalid state exclusion is such an important step .
Red Ball 4 is my favourite game with red balls in it, so it's amazing to see it being beaten so fast!

Red ball looks so happy juggling the boss! It is hilarious.
0:00 BONUS ROUND Jumpscare, the Clash music earned my sub
Amazing stuff as always, looking forward to part 2!
hello mysterious man
I saw the old tas recently and I can say i am freaking floored on the improvements,,, I never thought this game could be as broken as the previous ones!!
wow.
I've been in the tassing community for a while, and i have never seen a tas so intricately and perfectly explained before. Amazing work!
love the use of the clash music as always
always make me wanna go play the game even more than i already do, Pace Place sweep
The year is 2012 red ball's creater evgeniy fedoseev made a game as quality as possible but evgeniy himself dont think in this series have a forbidden fruit in the games
Box2d engine and the dedicated man Max and TAS crew... thats why I love speedrunning so much keeping coming up Max
"This game was my childhood" mfs when you jump over literally every puzzle:
well he kinda ran into the one in 12 lol
Damn, the editing in this is top notch, and the tas is wild. All these minute velocity tricks and calculations...
the strategies here were incredible. the information was shown in a clear way which made this a good watch.
Love TAS explanations, amazing vid as always!
editing is insane in this vid amazing talent man
Karl Jobst, Summoning Salt, and now Maximum all in a day?! Is it my birthday?
I guess Red Ball wanted to save the world so much, he went to travelling faster than light to do it
New maximum AND summoning salt? Great holiday.
Been waiting for this. Thank you!
i'm actually shitting myself i clicked on the video then got jumpscared by toontown corporate clash music
seems like someone has been playing ttcc, most of the music in the song list is from it
yeah I’m 148 Laff 😎
@@Maximum holy shit
what are the 2 remaining laff boosts?
@@SurmenianSoldierCEO. I don’t really care about maxing atm.
This game's TAS looks like the TAS in Celeste Farewell's level on the fast few screens, keeping the speed throughout scren transitions and zooming all the way to the end
half an hour of explanation for a 1.5 minute speedrun. Perfection.
Summoning salt video then a msushi video then it’s maximum video. Speed running heaven for me today
time to rewatch because i don't remember any of the tricks going on in part 2
MY BOY IS BACK WITH A BANGER VIDEO!!!

It is! The developer has seen most of the TASses and he loves them!
17:47 bready steady go
34:16 and now, for a brief moment, he has become a sun God!
you are approaching bismuth levels of explanation dude

This video feels like I’m at a professors physics class lmfao
"How did you become a professional at math?"
Me: "...a game about a Red Ball"
Wow this video is good! This video and all your other videos are kind of getting me into speedrunning flash games. Also, can you make a video about BFDIA 5B speedrunning?

"So why didn't you save that frame in level one?"
"It's a surprise tool that will help us later"
3:53 thanks gamer, it does make it an easier watch
Another impressive TAS, and another perfect explanation by Maximum. What can be better?
the clash music is making me so happy, i need people to use it more

First summoning salt and now you. This week has been great for speed running videos
I love how this guy made an entire channel showcasing exactly how he dunked on the competition
i (borrowed) my mom’s credit card to tell you too long not watching
Ik right, how does one man talk about balls for 36 minutes straight?!
@@cringekiddocuase BALLS
max the goat, thanks for another banger
I appreciate you using the terms velocity and momentum correctly. A rare sight these days
I just looked and thought I hadn’t watched this one yet but then realized it was posted 12 minutes ago
33:50 Good youtuber, making the thumbnail ahead of time XD
We have fitMC for minecraft 2t2b server lore, we have Max for RedBall Lore, I love it here
Despite the long waits these videos are almost always amazing and well edited.
this game changed a lot when i first saw the first TAS for red ball 1
imagine being a strong and powerful enemy that takes many hits and then quite literally getting dribbled by a small red ball
Always a channel I immediately click on the videos on, no matter whether I've played the game or not
I was in lack of red ball content, thank you
Imagine being the boss and seeing a pepperoni looking thing superman your way, hit you, then carry you across the place and hit you again
what a coincidence I saw this right after finishing all 80 achievements. anyway awesome video man
3:18 LOL I GOT THAT GD REFRENCE THATS SO GOOD
God I love how in-depth these videos are
My small brain loves hearing about the logic behind the physics engine for those glitches to happen
I did this once without a TAS, forgot to record though.
Im happy that an underrated game finally got some attention
Can you make a video explaining the red ball 4 lore
I already did that, it’s called “Red Ball Iceberg Explained” 🔴
It's a good day when Msushi and maximum upload
One of the best og mobile games for sure.

You know it's gonna be a good day when maximum uploads a new video on youtube

That club penguin card dojo music brought back a lot of memories
YES NEW MAXIMUM VIDEO
okay it caught me off guard that as soon as the video started toontown corporate clash music played
33:54 tbf I think that V1 is by far the most insane lol
Paused a solar sands video to watch this, that's just proper etiquette.
so the game is called "Red Ball" and you play as a red ball
Correct
What a channel. Love it all
Amazing video man. I'd love to see TAS explanations of Vol. 2 & 3
at 29:17, "this is a boss fight! but not for me!" ~red ball
I wish we had one of Red and Balls 2&3 of these
YO BABE WAKE UP NEW MAXIMUM VID IS OUT
woah this is the first time i've ever seen radians actually being useful rather than simply serving as a source of rounding errors
Me too
TAS are always fun to watch
