I really like that u don't go thru every room and instead highlight only the important skips, I feel like most of the fun I get out of speedrunning is trying to figure out different routes/strats. Thanks and I'm v excited to see what's unlocked w wavedashing
Learning how to speedrun any game takes a TON of time and memorization, but hopefully with this series I can continue to give you easy ways to incorporate new strats and rope you into speedrunning! 😁
Just set up livesplit and cranked out a 59:03.293. I like how much you explained the mindset you have to be in because I was going for the harder strats and losing time over it
Congrats!! I’m happy to have helped 😁 harder strats are always good/fun to grind out but absolutely no shame in needing to cut some strats to maintain your sanity in fullgame runs! Even top players need to do so when it comes to IL running vs fullgame running
As someone who's PB was 44:54, I'm embarrassed how long it was taking me to improve, but just by applying the mindset this video asks of you, it STILL helped me get my PB down to 43:10 over just one week. Very excited for a sub-40 Tutorial!
I'm an ex-runner from years ago who had a 41:13, and i'm trying to get back into the game. I agree, this video along with the sub 50 one are helping a lot. Good luck on sub 40 if you haven't reached it yet!
@@lilyyy456 btw, the sub 50 video does talk about chapter 5b, so its still worth seeing even if you're past sub 50 (I mean, unless you already do 5b, i never did and it seems a bit scary, just throwing everything i know about 5a away for this much harder chapter will be hard)
This video is soo well done, really an amazing work. I've been speedrunning celeste on and off for a few years, and never got a faster run than 1:02:01, and thanks to it I just got a 55:39.616. I am so stoked for the next episode of the series
Wow thank you so much 🥺 I’m so glad the video was able to help you that much!! That’s such insaaaane improvement! Trying to get the next video out as soon as possible 😁 it just takes a long time to make sure all the info is correct and concise lol
Tbh i didn't knew that crumble blocks disappear faster if you jump from them... I love how this game can always surprise you with new tech. Thanks for teching me this and for this awesome video!
I legit got that backwards super skip first try... then proceeded to fail the next 5-10 attempts until I finally got it again. But I have since mastered it, and it feels so satisfying
I'm looking at doing a sub hour Celeste run for a charity event this year, so thank you so much for this. I have a month to practice, and I feel like you just saved me a ton of time, especially in mirror temple. Edit: yeah, you did save me a bunch of time in a good few spots. My rust run took 2:11:00.x, and since then, I got it down to 59:49.42 at the strawberry cake screen.
Thanks for this, I just submitted my first run with a 49:13! I'm pretty comfortable with supers/hypers/wavedashes so I used them a lot but I just rolled my own strats for anything not covered here. I'd say it's a pretty good start. I'm excited to step it up!
Thank you for the guide, my good man. I've tried a few half-hearted attempts at speedrunning and was relatively happy with my 1h25m run, but I figured I could do better if I put in the effort. After actually trying - with a good number of ILs and 4 runs from scratch - I just now finished my first sub-hour with a nail-biting 59:34.097 (116 deaths, mostly trying some things and taking it safely). I expected to choke hard on flag 1 but I somehow held in and did it. I'm looking forward to your sub-50 guide, as I'm feeling the urge to improve further.
Wow that’s incredible! GGs 😁 flag 1 is SO nerve wracking at the end of a good run so I totally feel ya. Sub 50 guide is being grinded out as much as possible at this point
@@AverageImposter I thought I’d add in a sneaky update with my progress, since I’ve still been practising since the original comment. Still only going A-sides for now, and no neutral jumping or wavedashes because I’m still terrible at executing them, but making reasonable use of supers, hypers and wall bounces. I’m now down to a cool 44:56. That run I thought I’d choked on flag 3 and 2, but overestimated how long flag 2 and 1 takes so just scraped in. I know I can still do better too, even with no route or mechanical changes, since I’m still hanging around 60-70 deaths a run. Thanks again for the video, and probably even more so for the consistent encouragement in comment replies to everyone here - that’s a really big boost to mindset that we really can do this. (Still feel like a scrub compared to the BTA competitions though, they’re packed with talented runners.) Appreciate what you do, and looking forward to more from you.
Thank you man, I’ve been trying to get a sub hour time for over 3 months now and thanks to your video I’ve finally gotten a time of 59 minutes and 59 seconds 🎉🎉
Bro I was so inspired by your video and went from not being able to get sub hour to getting a 49:33. I wanna grind more and more. Can't wait to get higher
@@AverageImposter if i didn't like the jokes i wouldn't watch the whole video... twice, and i would lie if i say that this isn't helpfull, because it is by a really professional celeste runner. i will be waiting for more content!
I just found this after getting sub-one hour for the first time - interesting to see some of your recommendations that I was already doing and others I had no idea about. Great video, thank you.
Over a year since I started running Celeste and first watched this and I still ocme back to this video regularly. Partially to look back on how far of come, partially to brush up and make sure I haven't forgotten any of the foundational strategies, and partially just because it's a great video. Thanks so much for making this, and I hope some day we get the sub 40 video! (Although just using the tips from the sub 50 vid I've already reached a low 39- but don't think that doesnt mean im hungry for more content like this!)
Thank you sooooo much for the guide! I just finished my first playthrough of the game, so it's time to move on to the next challenge. Again, thank you!
this video is amazing, i love how you take everything slowly and not rush through anything while at the same time not making it super boring to watch, so much effort went into this and i appreciate it. I'll watching the rest of the series once I get my sub hour run! thanks!!
due to this video i have gotten so much better, my best times were 1:10 and now my pb is 46:25. Friends of mine have all started running celeste and this video (And the mechanics video). They all have 1:10/20 ranges right now but with your help they will reach sub 1 hour to. cant wait for your new video to come out!
@@AverageImposter Most off us started playing a couple of weeks ago and we do races with eachother, explain eachothers strats and work together to make our times better, 2 of them have now a sub 1 hour in one of the races, we are looking forward to your new video's and hope we can get sub 50/40 one day, congrats on your sub 30 btw
Just started playing Celeste about a month and a half ago. I played the HELL out of it. (around 85hrs) and tried speedrunning. Got a top time of around 1:05:26. I’m used to speedrunning, I’ve done it for a while, mainly SM64. This video cut my time to a *49:54*. No joke, the routing here was my main issue. Huge time saves I didn’t know about, and awesomely in-depth. That Summit 2500 orb skip made me cry inside. Well made!
yo nice video. I really liked the editing and presentation of it with the debug map and the highlighted rooms it makes it nice to look at. Also for example at 16:38 you also want to press confirm when you retry to skip a part of the animation which AverageImposter didn't do here
Damn I wish I had this video when I was first learning the run, very well done! Can't wait for the rest of the series :) Also I literally have 900 hours in celeste and a 32 minute any%, and did not know that badeline throws you high enough to grab that wall at 37:38
Thank you so much, Goose! Oh yea that little bit was something i just remember seeing top players doing and was like “wait… that’s not all too difficult!”
Great video! Ive been getting into celeste speedrunning and recentlh got my first sub 50! I did want to point out that it will be a LOT easier to do the skip at 24:53 if Madeline as far as she can go to the left, then the normal reverse super as mentioned. Fantastic stuff!
Damn, thanks for this incredible guide, I followed it and the IL videos and got my first sub hour (57:33) aftet only a week of training! Now aiming for sub 50 and maybe 40 after
Recently came back to this game after putting it down for a year and a half for a variety of reasons. At the time my pb was a 1:07:51.568. Found this video. Decided I was going to be stubborn and NOT watch it until I got sub-hour first. Well I did it. 59:07.764. Here I am, and hoo boy I have SO much I didn’t even know about that I need to learn and implement. Amazing guide! Maybe I’ll try for sub-55 just using stuff from this video before watching the sub-50 guide. I think I just like torturing myself. But I will DEFINITELY keep watching these!
the last part of the escape from Oshiro at 17:40 literally broke me. I died over 1000 times in Resort alone. The rest of the game I was like "how the fuck are you supposed to do this without assist mode?" more than I care to admit. I actually won that game on a bet and I still felt cheated. >>
Just finished my first play through of celeste (a,b,c sides + moon berry), and I'm excited to improve! I think I'm gonna do a couple of casual runs before I start looking up other peoples strats (my first time for it was 38 hrs, I'm hoping for sub 10 for my second run), but when I'm ready to start speed running this is definitely where I'm going!
I think you can definitely manage sub 10! You’d be surprised how much easier the game feels after all the b and c sides and especially after farewell. You got this!
@@AverageImposter Finished the play through at 10 hours 30 minutes. I'm satisfied enough of that to start doing "Summit" speedruns- I imagine I'll be adding ~100 views to this video over the next few months! It had a totally unofficial time of 3 hours 45 minutes for a Summit playthrough, since it included all of the collectables. Its a long way to go but I'm excited for the journey!
Looking forward to speedrunning celeste, totally earned that sub! I just finished summit and it took me 14 hours (143 berries collected) and I can't wait to start learning proper running the game!
Thank you for the support! I’d definitely say enjoy and relish in all the vanilla aspects of Celeste including the berry collections and all since once you start running the game, you look back and think “huh, I’ve come a long way!” And it can be super rewarding. However you decide to take on the game, you’ve got this! 😁
This video was EXTREMELY useful. Thanks so much! It must've taken a really long time to make as well. The one downside to it was that the room with that bunny you really hate is now harder for me than it previously was just because you emphasized how difficult it was so often!
I've been speedrunning casually for 6 months or so now, and after finding this video, I got my time down to 1:20:25 or so. but after the sub-50 starts video, I managed to get a sub hour with a 59:30! I know it'll take a while for the next one to come out (just see the delay between sub-hour and sub-50), but I'm super excited and can't wait.
You got this! Sometimes Celeste can be overwhelming but something that’s kept me going is knowing everything can happen in due time! With any amount of practice you can do whatever you set out to accomplish 😁
Thanks for this video - it is wonderfully made. After lots and lots of practice, I worked my way from 1:20 to 1:15 to 1:10 to 1:05 and then...1:02...and 1:01, and finally just scored a 59min 10sec with 140 deaths. Definitely room to keep going, too.
Dang this is the perfect timing for me ^^ "Recently" got into speedrunning via Ori WotW (Goal was sub 30) and wanted to now also learn Any% Celeste (after only completing the game once but seeing TAS-Bot at GDQ and multiple other awesome runners). Already got a sub 2 hours run. ;) So I'm looking forward to this series to progess even further. :)
Ayyy congrats! I got into speedrunning through Hollow Knight but personally vibed with the Celeste advanced movement more. These videos take a TON of time to get out but definitely planning on trying to get the others out in a reasonable time frame! 😁
@@AverageImposter That's awesome, Hollow Knight is such an awesome game! A friend of mine is learning Hollow Knight right now so I wanted to learn something different to later on show each other the runs.. ^^ Looking forward to the 40 Minute ones, as I'm using some speedrun tech already, but I still suck too much to not die way over a hundred times per run. xD Especially summit is so hard the first few times, that level almost takes me 30 minutes...
Wow, you guys did crazy amount of work on this video. I always thought the speedrunning is cool as hell but I never tried it myself. Now I’m on the part where you pick the game, so I’m choosing between Hollow Knight and Celeste. Have a lot more experience in HK but I’m a little scared to grind it even more and get frustrated in the end or even drop the game. On the other hand I just finished casual playthrough of Celeste a couple months ago and your video gives such a mood boost and it simply “talks” to me as a new player. It’s amazing. I might actually try it 😅 TL DR: Thanks for the amazing content! Loved it!
Hopefully ya do join the crew and run Celeste! But HK is also fantastic so I wouldn’t blame you lol. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words! 🥺
1000% recommend running Celeste! Personally the game really taught me a lot about the process of learning and that practice gets rewarded big time. You’ve got this!
super well made i love this video! have a sub 40 and still find myself learning new things from this like death confirming and auto skip cutscene buttons, guess i need to make those :D
@@AverageImposter true, this game became my all time favorite before I even learned anything new, and after I started running it, it became even better to me with imo the best movement mechanics in any game I have ever played
I just started seriously speedrunning the game a few days ago (I had been doing it like 2 years ago but I just never did research) and like a day after watching this I not only got sub 1 hr, I just hit 47 minutes. You are a champion
Dude, i was trying to get sub hour for soo long and after 250 hours of gameplay i gave up, but thanks to my brother and you, it gave me enough confidence to try again, and this night i did it. By even doing it casually. Lmao. Thank you soo much for giving me enough confidence to try again and let me succede. Love you man, i hope i will get sub 50:00 one day or another ^^'
No offense, but with 250 hours I'd expect you to be some type of celeste god. Is it mainly because you've been playing very slowly/forgot to turn off your game sometimes?
@@leo99zeren69 Same for me, most of my time wasn't learning any strats, but with only ~50 hours I've already gotten 193 berries and a sub 45 min time. Playing a lot is bound to make you improve regardless of what you do.
This video is great. I already have a sub 1 hour (55 minutes) but I learned tons of good stuff like the time skip in chapter 5 (yes I was getting the keys for this one and didn't know yet about the secret bubble). This will surely help me get close to sub 50 :)
@@AverageImposter Thanks! I made 48:49 and still a lot of room for improvement (my death count is still quite high). So eventually I think I can get near 45 mins with my current routing and movement. Thanks again for your well done video.
watching this video having just been running 7A and nothing else (I got a 13:46 so far)!! I have caved and am finally seeking speedrun advice instead of working the techs out on my own
i love this video i got motivated to speedrun the game and almost did sub 2 hours on my very frist attempt thank you a lot! which this video i am truly motivated to get the sub hour 🤩
Got a 1:05 :( its was sub hour potencial just needed a 18 summit but my nervous was to high and cound't Control also its had an insane resort almost sub 8
just got a 1:02 i chocked summit and with that im going to review the video and try again i got an INSANE TIME in the others and i leaved reflection with sub 40 and i ended up no even doing sub 20 summit
Thank you! Went from 1:50 to 0:59 in one week thanks to this video. However I did use a bit less strats than the video recommended and mainly improved through just dying less and knowing where to go. The "big skip" in chapter 5 was oddly consistent for me. Never missed it once in like 10 runs. If you suck in one chapter you can make up the time in other chapters. There is a lot of time to be gained from just not dying a lot :)
You know I’m surprised I haven’t played Celeste in a long while and I look at these room maps and I’m like “oh yeah that’s that bit of the ruins” or “that’s the mapping to the temple”
@@ShadowDancer1000 I use Everest in order to get access to debug mode. If you download Everest as a mod (downloading Olympus then using it to get Everest makes this easy) you can enable Debug in settings if it isn’t already active, then see which button is configured to open the debug map while you’re in the chapter. You can also change the binding that exists for it
@@AverageImposter I’m gonna be honest with you idk what you’re talking about but I’ll figure it out somehow Oh I play Xbox btw so I might not be able to do it anyhow
Something I've noticed is for any room with rithm blocks, like finding b sides or that part of farewell, is you wont respawn at the same point in the cycle every time because the blocks follow the music, so dying on different beats will respawn you at different points
26:26 when you get some more *advanced mechanics under your belt* also averageimposter: *extended hyper into a corner boost into a reverse wavedash into an ultra and using the momentum of the ultra to up right dash into badeline*
11:15 I found that it’s easier and faster to do a diagonal dash into the bottom left coin first, then after collecting the next two use the dream block to get to the last one quickly
I've consistently gotten my time down in every single attempt I do, I went from 4:06 to 2:07 to 1:38 to 1:36 to 1:26 to now 1:17 and the best thing I found is obviously to die less and just be consistent, I don't know how much longer my time improvement streak is going to last tho as now I feel like the improvements are going to get much smaller
Wow that’s insane!! Improvement every attempt is huuuuuge. Obviously the increments will get smaller, but as long as you keep practicing and having fun then you can keep pushing that time lower! Best of luck 😁
Thanks for this guide! I got a 1:13:48 then a 1:06:13 yesterday and did a little practice today using the tool and despite a ton of silly deaths my movement is starting to feel cleaner and I got a 58:43 my 3rd run! :)
ive been wanting to try out speedrunning celeste but i play different games too much so ive never felt like properly investing time into cutting down time. ive done 2 full run games with basically no practice playing just of my main game knowledge and some strats i saw in this video. my first time was just a few minutes under 2 hours (i was basically just trying out and learning some strats lol) and my second was 1:15:00. it was actually surprisingly fun to try and go through the game fast
Oh goodness I don’t even wanna go back and check how long ridge took me the first time. I had like 35 hours of playtime total for the base game first time around lol
25:29 was hilarious, madeline and the seeker looked each other in the eyes and the seeker just kinda did a little **boop**
I really like that u don't go thru every room and instead highlight only the important skips, I feel like most of the fun I get out of speedrunning is trying to figure out different routes/strats. Thanks and I'm v excited to see what's unlocked w wavedashing

nice, i'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the guides come out 👀 this is a great start to the series
I love that you explain it so excited!
Amazing video! I love the idea of making a video for every skill level. You did a good work with this one, keep It going! 💪
Thank you so much! Working hard to get the next one out soon!
I was very satisfied with my
AYYYY congrats!! That’s huge!
Damn I wish I had this video when I was first learning the run, very well done! Can't wait for the rest of the series :)
Also I literally have 900 hours in celeste and a 32 minute any%, and did not know that badeline throws you high enough to grab that wall at 37:38
Thank you so much, Goose! Oh yea that little bit was something i just remember seeing top players doing and was like “wait… that’s not all too difficult!”
Great video! Ive been getting into celeste speedrunning and recentlh got my first sub 50!
I did want to point out that it will be a LOT easier to do the skip at 24:53 if Madeline as far as she can go to the left, then the normal reverse super as mentioned.
Fantastic stuff!
Damn, thanks for this incredible guide, I followed it and the IL videos and got my first sub hour (57:33) aftet only a week of training! Now aiming for sub 50 and maybe 40 after
780 subs?? You deserve way more! Great job guys!!! Just finishing up Farewell after having beaten all the C-sides, then my next goal is sub-hour!
Thank you so much! GL with farewell and can’t wait for ya to try for sub-hour! 😁
Thank you so much, because of this video i got in to speedrunning celeste and i just got a 54:53. I'm so happy since i've been practicing for weeks.
LETS GOOOOOO congratulations!! Practice is always rewarded!
Recently came back to this game after putting it down for a year and a half for a variety of reasons. At the time my pb was a 1:07:51.568. Found this video. Decided I was going to be stubborn and NOT watch it until I got sub-hour first. Well I did it. 59:07.764. Here I am, and hoo boy I have SO much I didn’t even know about that I need to learn and implement. Amazing guide! Maybe I’ll try for sub-55 just using stuff from this video before watching the sub-50 guide. I think I just like torturing myself. But I will DEFINITELY keep watching these!
the last part of the escape from Oshiro at 17:40 literally broke me. I died over 1000 times in Resort alone. The rest of the game I was like "how the fuck are you supposed to do this without assist mode?" more than I care to admit. I actually won that game on a bet and I still felt cheated. >>
This game is by NO MEANS easy, major props for finishing it! If you beat it, it definitely wasn’t on a whim. You deserve the win 😁
8 minutes into the video. I'm really liking this. Besides being informative it's also funny. Thank you mate :D
Finished the video. It's a really great video. Recommend it.
A little late to the celeste party, but just got my first sub hour run at 58:37! Thanks for the amazing guide :)
Just finished my first play through of celeste (a,b,c sides + moon berry), and I'm excited to improve! I think I'm gonna do a couple of casual runs before I start looking up other peoples strats (my first time for it was 38 hrs, I'm hoping for sub 10 for my second run), but when I'm ready to start speed running this is definitely where I'm going!
I think you can definitely manage sub 10! You’d be surprised how much easier the game feels after all the b and c sides and especially after farewell. You got this!
@@AverageImposter Finished the play through at 10 hours 30 minutes. I'm satisfied enough of that to start doing "Summit" speedruns- I imagine I'll be adding ~100 views to this video over the next few months!
It had a totally unofficial time of 3 hours 45 minutes for a Summit playthrough, since it included all of the collectables. Its a long way to go but I'm excited for the journey!
Looking forward to speedrunning celeste, totally earned that sub! I just finished summit and it took me 14 hours (143 berries collected) and I can't wait to start learning proper running the game!
Thank you for the support! I’d definitely say enjoy and relish in all the vanilla aspects of Celeste including the berry collections and all since once you start running the game, you look back and think “huh, I’ve come a long way!” And it can be super rewarding. However you decide to take on the game, you’ve got this! 😁
@@AverageImposter thanks a ton!! Already tot 1:50 chap 1 and 3:20 chap 2, now to the third one!! Not looking forward to it, but i gotta learn it
Thank you so much for making this video, I just got my first sub hour run thanks to this
This video was EXTREMELY useful. Thanks so much! It must've taken a really long time to make as well. The one downside to it was that the room with that bunny you really hate is now harder for me than it previously was just because you emphasized how difficult it was so often!
This video is incredible. I know your gonna get a lot of subs soon
Thank you! I’m already at a sub count waaaay higher than I ever thought I’d be 😭
I've been speedrunning casually for 6 months or so now, and after finding this video, I got my time down to 1:20:25 or so. but after the sub-50 starts video, I managed to get a sub hour with a 59:30! I know it'll take a while for the next one to come out (just see the delay between sub-hour and sub-50), but I'm super excited and can't wait.
YOOOOOO huge!! Hopefully it won’t be THAT long until the sub 40 😂 but hopefully I can get it to ya sooner rather than later!
I was quite tired of all these Celeste attempts but after watching this video it give me a nice boost to continue, thank you!!
You got this! Sometimes Celeste can be overwhelming but something that’s kept me going is knowing everything can happen in due time! With any amount of practice you can do whatever you set out to accomplish 😁
Nice video ! Thanks a lot, really helpfull !
Wow, this is such a good video!! I hope you are very proud of yourself
Thank you! After so much love and support it’s been overwhelming 😭
Underrated af thank you so much I want to start speed running now lol
Ayyyyy thanks! Do it!
Thanks for this video - it is wonderfully made. After lots and lots of practice, I worked my way from 1:20 to 1:15 to 1:10 to 1:05 and then...1:02...and 1:01, and finally just scored a 59min 10sec with 140 deaths. Definitely room to keep going, too.
CONGRATS! That’s some huuuuuge progress! Hopefully I can get the sub 50 video out before you break that barrier!
@@AverageImposter I'm at sub 52 - where that video?! lol
@@paulballance7943 check back in a week from now 👀
Dang this is the perfect timing for me ^^
"Recently" got into speedrunning via Ori WotW (Goal was sub 30) and wanted to now also learn Any% Celeste (after only completing the game once but seeing TAS-Bot at GDQ and multiple other awesome runners).
Already got a sub 2 hours run. ;)
So I'm looking forward to this series to progess even further. :)
Ayyy congrats! I got into speedrunning through Hollow Knight but personally vibed with the Celeste advanced movement more. These videos take a TON of time to get out but definitely planning on trying to get the others out in a reasonable time frame! 😁
@@AverageImposter That's awesome, Hollow Knight is such an awesome game!
A friend of mine is learning Hollow Knight right now so I wanted to learn something different to later on show each other the runs.. ^^
Looking forward to the 40 Minute ones, as I'm using some speedrun tech already, but I still suck too much to not die way over a hundred times per run. xD
Especially summit is so hard the first few times, that level almost takes me 30 minutes...
Wow, you guys did crazy amount of work on this video. I always thought the speedrunning is cool as hell but I never tried it myself. Now I’m on the part where you pick the game, so I’m choosing between Hollow Knight and Celeste. Have a lot more experience in HK but I’m a little scared to grind it even more and get frustrated in the end or even drop the game. On the other hand I just finished casual playthrough of Celeste a couple months ago and your video gives such a mood boost and it simply “talks” to me as a new player. It’s amazing. I might actually try it 😅
TL DR: Thanks for the amazing content! Loved it!
Hopefully ya do join the crew and run Celeste! But HK is also fantastic so I wouldn’t blame you lol. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words! 🥺
dude,thanks for the guide! i used some of the strats from the video and just got my first sub-hour!(:D)Really excited to learn more tech
thanks, this came up on my timeline. im a washed up super mario odyssey runner and have always been interested in celeste
1000% recommend running Celeste! Personally the game really taught me a lot about the process of learning and that practice gets rewarded big time. You’ve got this!
damn i feel called out by this comment lol
super well made i love this video! have a sub 40 and still find myself learning new things from this like death confirming and auto skip cutscene buttons, guess i need to make those :D
Thank you!! 😁 it’s so wild that a game with only 3 core mechanics (jump, dash, grab) has SO many things to learn from!
@@AverageImposter true, this game became my all time favorite before I even learned anything new, and after I started running it, it became even better to me with imo the best movement mechanics in any game I have ever played
this video helped a lot. thank you. i needed an in depth guide thats not too overwhelming
I just started seriously speedrunning the game a few days ago (I had been doing it like 2 years ago but I just never did research) and like a day after watching this I not only got sub 1 hr, I just hit 47 minutes.
You are a champion
Thank you! I am so close with 1:09.10 as my current time. This helps a bunch!
Ayyyy you’ll make it there in no time! So glad that it’s been helpful 😁
Back again after being shaken a bit, again thankful this exists.
Dude, i was trying to get sub hour for soo long and after 250 hours of gameplay i gave up, but thanks to my brother and you, it gave me enough confidence to try again, and this night i did it. By even doing it casually. Lmao. Thank you soo much for giving me enough confidence to try again and let me succede. Love you man, i hope i will get sub 50:00 one day or another ^^'
LESSGOOOOO! there’s absolutely nothing wrong with doing it casually. You had a goal and you achieved it and that’s all that matters
No offense, but with 250 hours I'd expect you to be some type of celeste god. Is it mainly because you've been playing very slowly/forgot to turn off your game sometimes?
@@dickurkel6910 most of those hours i put in i wasnt doing or learning speedrun strats so i still have new things to learn
@@leo99zeren69 Same for me, most of my time wasn't learning any strats, but with only ~50 hours I've already gotten 193 berries and a sub 45 min time. Playing a lot is bound to make you improve regardless of what you do.
@@dickurkel6910 guess im bad then ^^'
This video is great. I already have a sub 1 hour (55 minutes) but I learned tons of good stuff like the time skip in chapter 5 (yes I was getting the keys for this one and didn't know yet about the secret bubble). This will surely help me get close to sub 50 :)
GL on sub 50! You can do it!!
@@AverageImposter Thanks! I made 48:49 and still a lot of room for improvement (my death count is still quite high). So eventually I think I can get near 45 mins with my current routing and movement. Thanks again for your well done video.
Thanks a lot! Helped me get my first sub hour!
Hell yea! Congrats!!
Incredible video, absolutely incredible!
Thank you!! Hopefully the next one can measure up the same way 😁
@@AverageImposter Keep at it!
watching this video having just been running 7A and nothing else (I got a 13:46 so far)!! I have caved and am finally seeking speedrun advice instead of working the techs out on my own
i love this video i got motivated to speedrun the game and almost did sub 2 hours on my very frist attempt thank you a lot! which this video i am truly motivated to get the sub hour 🤩
Let’s goooooo you got this!!
Update:i keep getting Faster and now my PB its a 1:07 close
Runs that i got bettwen
Sub 1:50
Sub 1:30 skiped 1:40 pog
1:18
1:16
Got a 1:05 :( its was sub hour potencial just needed a 18 summit but my nervous was to high and cound't Control also its had an insane resort almost sub 8
just got a 1:02 i chocked summit and with that im going to review the video and try again i got an INSANE TIME in the others and i leaved reflection with sub 40 and i ended up no even doing sub 20 summit
Thank you! Went from 1:50 to 0:59 in one week thanks to this video. However I did use a bit less strats than the video recommended and mainly improved through just dying less and knowing where to go. The "big skip" in chapter 5 was oddly consistent for me. Never missed it once in like 10 runs. If you suck in one chapter you can make up the time in other chapters. There is a lot of time to be gained from just not dying a lot :)
You know I’m surprised I haven’t played Celeste in a long while and I look at these room maps and I’m like “oh yeah that’s that bit of the ruins” or “that’s the mapping to the temple”
I felt this same way using the debug map for the first time. It’s so cool to see the layout of everything!
@@AverageImposter how do you do that btw
@@ShadowDancer1000 I use Everest in order to get access to debug mode. If you download Everest as a mod (downloading Olympus then using it to get Everest makes this easy) you can enable Debug in settings if it isn’t already active, then see which button is configured to open the debug map while you’re in the chapter. You can also change the binding that exists for it
@@AverageImposter I’m gonna be honest with you idk what you’re talking about but I’ll figure it out somehow
Oh I play Xbox btw so I might not be able to do it anyhow
Something I've noticed is for any room with rithm blocks, like finding b sides or that part of farewell, is you wont respawn at the same point in the cycle every time because the blocks follow the music, so dying on different beats will respawn you at different points
Yep! The only way to reset the cycle is to leave the room and come back in
Thanks to your video i got a 58:54 run
Let’s go! That’s awesome!! Breaking the hour barrier was my first huge sense of accomplishment in running this game
This vid was so helpful! Just went from a 1:35:30 to a 57:40 with these strats
gg bro
26:26 when you get some more *advanced mechanics under your belt*
also averageimposter: *extended hyper into a corner boost into a reverse wavedash into an ultra and using the momentum of the ultra to up right dash into badeline*
Oops, just the simple things no big deal 😬
dash to the right. JUMP! to the left! HoLd JuMp fOr dEaR lIfE!!!!!
I didn't hold jump and now I am a ghost. I died.
Just started trying to speedrun and got a 2:12:36. Glad you've made this video lol, wish me luck.
Yoooo good luck! You got this!
@@AverageImposter Managed to PB with a 1:27:13 just now. Was doing some single chapter runs but kinda forgot about doing a full game run lol.
11:15 I found that it’s easier and faster to do a diagonal dash into the bottom left coin first, then after collecting the next two use the dream block to get to the last one quickly
I've consistently gotten my time down in every single attempt I do,
I went from 4:06 to 2:07 to 1:38 to 1:36 to 1:26 to now 1:17 and the best thing I found is obviously to die less and just be consistent, I don't know how much longer my time improvement streak is going to last tho as now I feel like the improvements are going to get much smaller
Wow that’s insane!! Improvement every attempt is huuuuuge. Obviously the increments will get smaller, but as long as you keep practicing and having fun then you can keep pushing that time lower! Best of luck 😁
Bro even made the vid under an hour
You deserve waaay more subscribers
Wow thank you! 😁 I can’t believe we’re almost at 2k already tbh
Really cool video! Nice quality!
This guide was very very helpful, I was able to get a 54:03 by this after practicing.
Congrats!! 54:03 is huuuuuuuge
I love this so much I can’t wait to do this and I Believe I’m your 1000 subscriber if I’m not that’s fine I’m going to get sub hour soon I can feel
YO LETS GOOOOOO THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT! You’ve got this!!
2h30 of speedrunning and I'm at 1:37.920 in forsaken and 3:26.023 in old site :D
so happy rn thanks for the vid 😁
Of course! So glad it’s been helpful! 😁
Thanks for this guide! I got a 1:13:48 then a 1:06:13 yesterday and did a little practice today using the tool and despite a ton of silly deaths my movement is starting to feel cleaner and I got a 58:43 my 3rd run! :)
Nice video. Here’s hoping there’s a sub 50 guide in the future
Slowly but surely! End of August/Beginning of September seems to be a good projection for release
@@AverageImposter I am soooo hyped for that video! Wish you the best!
Thank you so much i learned a lot ! going to train rn :D
Ay let’s go!! GL on your training!! You got this
great tutorial im surprised that it doesnt have that many views
Thank you! It’s honestly got more views than I was anticipating lol
ive been wanting to try out speedrunning celeste but i play different games too much so ive never felt like properly investing time into cutting down time. ive done 2 full run games with basically no practice playing just of my main game knowledge and some strats i saw in this video. my first time was just a few minutes under 2 hours (i was basically just trying out and learning some strats lol) and my second was 1:15:00. it was actually surprisingly fun to try and go through the game fast
"if you're Ridge time is less than seven minutes we’re sitting pretty comfy"
Me with a rigde time of over 7 hours (granted it's my first playthrough)
Oh goodness I don’t even wanna go back and check how long ridge took me the first time. I had like 35 hours of playtime total for the base game first time around lol
I just got a sub 1:50 earlier today and was super happy cuz that was like a 40 minute time save (even more!)
Congrats! 😁
@@AverageImposteroh by the way sub-hour done at some point i can’t remember when but I’m practicing chapterssss
I searched how to beat Celeste and this was the top video
Gotta be honest. I watched a more than 40min long video and my only real takeaway: Learn Search Skip
Takeaway #2: dont die
Hey man you make great videos, keep it up.
Thank you!! Definitely have plenty more on deck. The sub 50 video is coming together swimmingly so we’ll see how soon that drops 👀
Don’t know if you meant this but I love that you used the Hornet “GET GUD” thing lol.
Also the bubbles from chapter 4 IS GREEN? I THOGT IT WAS TEAL.
My second ever celeste speedrun :), 1:30:40.272 in game time and 307 deaths
HECK YEA! Congrats! I hope you keep pushing your limits and keep running!
I have a 48 minute Any% time and I did not know about the climb jump stamina tech, more you know
I still don’t even have it in my muscle memory with a 32 any% so I don’t blame ya, but definitely good for consistency
