i cleared the original A and B sides before they were combined and had an additional room appended to them:
Ultra Skrimbles (originally the A-side: room 1 in this video; 4 sections): 1:59:50 // 5803 // 10-19-23
Ultra Skrimbles Too (originally the B-side: room 2 in this video; 3 sections): 4:17:19 // 15035 // 10-28-23
Ultra Skrimbles Definitive Edition (the map's current version, and this whole video): 2:20:57 // 6950 // 11-01-23
from this video, 1:20:27 is spent reclearing the A and B-sides. 1:00:30 is spent on third and fourth rooms (the new sections). you can find exact room time breakdowns on the Room Clear Times sheet on my spreadsheet.
anyway,
i like this map and i'm going to try to tell you why.
before, i didn't understand the lack of cb block usage in splowon's maps. cbs are inconsistent and rng, and i was kinda annoyed while playing mg+ that they weren't used. however, after playing that and ultra skrimbles, i realized a couple things:
1. cbs aren't technically rng (as you probably know), but they are practically rng because the frames on which they work (or don't work) are arbitrary. there usually isn't a continuous frame window; the good frames are peppered with the bad frames. this creates a sort of filter where some percentage of your attempts automatically fail because they didn't hit one of the good frames.
2. with the introduction of this filter, something interesting happens. for extremely short, input-dense, tight gameplay like in this map (and mg+ to a lesser extent), the filter forces you to become more consistent at the entire section's inputs than you would otherwise need to be. to compensate for the percentage of attempts which don't pass through the filter, you must raise your percentage chance of success in other areas. this makes fluking more difficult, because you not only have to fluke the inputs, but you have to fluke past the filter at the same time.
there are a few things i'd like to point out now which may have been misconceived by the way i've been talking:
- not every cb in this map has to be a good cb. for most of the sections with a lot, you have a little bit of wiggle room in the number of good cbs you need to hit out of all the available ones.
- despite what i said in #1 while describing the filter, you CAN actually aim for the specific good frames amongst all the bad frames. often, you'll find yourself gravitating toward good frames subconsciously through the sheer amount of data you acquire as you attempt something hundreds of times (i will say, however, that this is much less common for me on something like omauve, probably because there's much more variation in your possible positions compared to Ultra Skrimbles). in addition to that, you can lab cbs. for example, you'll find that one might always work if you nearly buffer the jump after an ultra, or this other cb tends to work more often if you jump late just before it, or (moreso in mg+) you can find setups from which you can start a hyper or wavedash and always get a cb to work. even staircases of cbs have strats to make them more consistent. it's hard to express if you haven't experienced it, but there is actual nuance and skill involved in labbing these cbs. you have some power over the filter.
- I LIKE CB BLOCKS!!!! please use them if you are going to map a mauvelike. i am simply pointing out that they are not DIRECT upgrades; there is a tradeoff in the use of them because they inherently change the gameplay. frankly, i don't know if i would prefer Ultra Skrimbles with cb blocks or not, but the choice not to use them is not 100% a loss. as long as i've convinced you of that, even if you don't enjoy this unfair, inconsistent gameplay like i do, i'm happy.
so yeah imo it's like right around mg+ in difficulty. really hard to compare directly because the gameplay is surprisingly different, but it felt like a similar level. i'd place it just above mg+ to be safe, because i did have a weirdly bad time with that map, and also because splowon thinks it's above mg+.

the design is very human
i am not entirely familiar with celeste so at the start i thought the challenge was that the white splotches on the ground kill you somehow. i feel silly now.
Rain world music! If i remember correctly this track is called "lack of comfort"...
*how fitting*
I thought I heard that music somewhere
ok so yesterday i went on an adventure or something and i forgot to tell you the story afterwards so you can have it here. i had finished all my lectures for the day and was just about to leave campus until i realized i had been fully starved of interaction with other human beings the entire day and it was making me go insane. so i texted a friend who was in the area and asked to meet up, but i also wanted to actually do something instead of just do my daily commute with another person, so i told him we could try out this ice cream place that i used to get cravings for all the time like 3 years ago, and there happened to be a franchise that was like a 5 minute walk from one of the train stations. so we took a train and got off at that train station which was underground, and because it was like -3 degrees celsius or something all of the homeless people were sleeping underground. we went down a long hallway to find an exit and there were like 4 people following behind us. when we turned a corner to get to an exit we saw a group of like 5 homeless people cuddling together in the staircase for that exit, and silently turned around and walked in the opposite direction upon processing that. the people who were following us immediately received the message from watching us turn around and also turned around without even seeing the homeless people themselves which was kinda funny. anyway we eventually made it out of the station and my phone was on like 14% or something and i didnt want to waste my battery cause it would prob be like 2 hours before i got home so i asked my friend to check the directions on google maps for us. it said that we just needed to walk in a straight line for 5 minutes. ok. its been 4 minutes and i still do not see this ice cream place anywhere. i assumed that i was just blind and it might be around the corner or something but i made a joke among the lines of “what if we get there and it’s actually just not there” which sounded ridiculous at the time but actually turned out to be the case. we got there and it was just. not there. then after about 30 seconds of being confused the map updated and it turns out that it actually misled us and made us walk for 5 minutes in the exact OPPOSITE direction that we needed to. sick. i didnt trust his map anymore so i forfeited my battery life and used mine instead, and we proceeded to walk for 10 minutes in the opposite direction. now my original plan was to show whoever was working at the place a list of things to order that i made on my phone and have her do it for us, but when i showed her she said the menu on my phone was for a completely different franchise and that made me sad because all my favourite mixins were at that other franchise and not here, so i was inevitably going to design the most depressing ice cream ever. oh well. what matters the most is that she said she would give us a 30% black friday discount on anything we bought, and then just didnt give us that discount. we each paid like $15 cad just for 2 half litres of ice cream with the dumbest mixins ever. on the walk to the place we also passed a subway and i had $20 left in a subway gift card so we decided to go to that subway on the way back to make the experience a little bit better. while making our sandwiches the girl that was working in there asked if we were together, and we were, but she also asked if we both wanted the same sandwich. we obviously didn’t so i said something among the lines of “we’re together but doing separate orders” which was bad wording on my part and she interpreted it as us wanting to pay separately which wouldn’t have made sense because i had enough money left in the gift card to pay for both of us. or well, that’s what i thought at the time. when we fixed all the misunderstandings and had to pay it turned out that the gift card was $0.96 CAD away from being able to afford everything. awesome. then we did the rest of my commute while eating silly ice cream and subway which was kinda chill except for the constant thought that i spent $15 on that shit. also fun fact i fell asleep in the middle of typing the subway story
sorry for your ice cream loss
you could sue them for false advertising over the discount if you want to
It took the whole video for me to read that lol
@@plat6164LMAO THE VIDEO JUST ENDED AS I READ THAT
Shed a tear reading that
This map is similar to another map, the name of which I have forgotten, but which uses the same "idea". The "idea" is to gain speed by making non-obvious and complex movements in an unsuitable room (At first glance!!!). That map was more "open", and this one is claustrophobic... (Oh, thank you! Your channel reminded me of the name of that art. This is "Mauve".)
Every video you upload just gets more and more Celeste
wow you literally can't die*, golden must be easy
*except from insanity going back to the start every time
What a fun map I’m sure he has a lot to say about it
glad to see my suggestion made it in :3
Not the type of mauve we needed, but a type that we deserved:
This map feels like a trip, and I bet it plays like one too.
the scrimbler
this map is silly, goofy, and some might even say wacky.
a little skrimbly, if you will.
rainworld music jumpscare
Ptsd
Looks like this map goes back to celeste's roots
Metal roots
YO LACK OF COMFORT I'M PLAYING TRHIS RIGHT NOW
wtf the skrimbler
I thought splowon was going to get someone to deco it 💀
ultra scrimbles
Lack of Comfort
Wouldn’t it be so funny if this was placed on hard list
I just went wwwaaaaiiitttt that music
It’s from rain world
Those are some skrimbly ultras
Very uncomfy
Is every map becoming Mature Grape+ or something???
this map plays surprisingly different from mg+. imo it's better
Rain world music yea
Question, what does cb mean?
cornerboost, it's when you climbjump near the top of a block to gain or preserve speed
@@telehops ah I see.
ultra or smth idk
huh.
mcuve?
i think theres quite a big distinction to be made between splowon's maps and mauve.
