Red Ball - World Record Progression (Speedrun History)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- (Update from Maximum: 1/19/21) Recently, the Red Ball community has learned that UltraAug, who makes an appearance in this documentary due to his discovery of spike glitch and top route 7, tragically passed away in the summer of 2018. This came as a shock to us all. This video is now dedicated to him to honor his legacy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 2008, a concrete mixer salesman from Russia began development on Red Ball, a simplistic flash game featuring a red ball and 12 unique levels. Released in 2009, the game became an instant hit, being played by millions around the world every year. This one game ultimately spawned a franchise that would come to pull in hundreds of millions of players and RUclips viewers through the mobile release of Red Ball 4. In as early as 2010, speedrunners sought to complete the original Red Ball as fast as possible, drawn to the game's addictive sandbox-style physics and intriguing level design. The history of world records and community actions in the eleven years that followed Red Ball's release have produced an absolutely amazing, inspirational tale that this video will aim to display.

From the description: (Update 1/19/21) Recently, the Red Ball community has learned that UltraAug, who makes an appearance in this documentary due to his discovery of spike glitch and top route 7, tragically passed away in the summer of 2018. This came as a shock to us all. This video is now dedicated to him to honor his legacy.
He was a well known member of the community that has made new strats that have allowed people to get world record and new times. He will be remembered.
I came into the game well after him, but I knew about him from his discovery of spike glitch. I hope the best for his family, even 2.5 years later.
That's stupid how everything can be taken away from you so quickly. One day you are, the other you aren't.
D:
Michael b is that stupid? or is that why it matters
I'm a simple man. I see "world record progression"on the title and i click.
You did this to me SummoningSalt.
Me to
Yes, but is that a bad thing

It’s weird not hearing HOME “We’re finally landing” at the beginning
same here
my favorite part of this entire saga is flower being accused of cheating and replying with “ahahaah ok”
Yeah that guy's an absolute Chad
I have very scarring experiences with that car

Just need to clear something up here:
I was not active in the community when the "YOLO balls" strategy was named. I hope my pronunciation of it accurately conveyed my loathing of that strat name. Thank you.
I believe the delivery of the line was adaquate
I didn't know you were an early record holder in this game (not that I even knew it existed to begin with).
That name makes it seem lik everyone playing are 12 years old, major cringe shit.
@@MuscarV2 so mad over nothing
@@kylegregory2876 someone doesn't have to be angry to swear.
Nothing suggested they were angry, they literally just expressed a strong dislike.
Edit: I'd like to note that literally all I was doing was pointing out that Marcus was not necessarily angry, I am not defending the blatant failure of psychoanalysis of an entire group of speed runners they committed.
Wow, I can't believe that Jezs guy faked his world record like that. It's a good thing we had someone like Jezs to set the record straight. Still, it's a shame Jezs managed to hide it for so long until Jezs called him out on it. We need more people like Jezs, to protect us against people like Jezs.
Jokes aside, I never heard of this game before, but I ended up watching the whole video. Very entertaining.
Somehow Jezs managed to be BOTH the outlaw AND the ranger in this tale!

@Kyaru Momochi Get this, not everybody grew up with flash games
@Kyaru Momochi ah ok lol
@@jbbajangamer thankfully they were nice enough to not go full woooosh on ya
UltraAug was one of my best friends back in high school. It absolutely made my day to see him mentioned in this video as I had no idea that he was such an active member of the red ball speedrun community. Thank you for that :)
This was a wonder for me to see after all these years. I can remember him telling me about red ball in our discord calls sometimes :')
Is there any chance that you can add me on discord to share more details about this?
@@Maximum Yes! I am Brick#6461. I sent you a friend request
EG is such an unreal person, he had his friends over and bought champagne for a race of red ball
he kind seems like an asshole, pouring champagne into a trophy and slamming on his walls after playing red ball good
@@namazu5976 hes living life
What a baller.
realizing the channel i was watching was maximum himself was like watching summoning salt’s punch out video
When he revealed he had the record on Tyson by a massive margin lmao
@@Ellie_2810 Haha yep :)
@@Ellie_2810 lmao he was so humble about it like, “oh yeah I tried running for a little and got a pretty good time”
Same for both omg, I had no idea the video was from Maximum until near the end
looks at channel name randomly
*Wait what.*
Yeap, you're learning history from the ones who made it jsjshs
Same vibe as Low percents documentary on smo minimum captures being narrated by smallant
Lmao my exact reaction biggest plot twist of 2021
@@thatoneguy9666 the channel this video is on is ItsMaximum meaning that one of the main people on the leader boards and who has a large chunk of the video talking about his achievements is the one producing this video
Reminds me of when summoning salt started talking about his own records in the quest to beat Matt Turk
I never thought a record progression of a flash game about a red little ball would be so interesting. Fantastic job on this video!
@Jayden London there is, u could use your own standalone flash player and the swf of game which is on speedrun.com
ANY world record progression video of any game is interesting, and for some reason flash games are even more interesting than everything else
The checkpoint is introduced in level 2, just nobody cares about it.
NOT FALSE
I just wanted to comment this but then I saw your comment
Ok haha
Stair at lvl 9 is more ignored
Hi yellowskarmory
This is unironically one of the best speedrunning history videos ive ever seen, Bravo!
I was shocked. Especially after seeing his sub count..
Please go watch the speedruning history of battle for bikini bottom by SHiFT
and not only is it that good but guess what, they somehow made you get interested in literally just a red ball going trough obstacles
Fantastic video, very well prepared, enjoyed it a lot!
prawda!
masz racje
"well prepared", what? That can mean two things and none of them make any sense in this context.
Trollface w prawdziwym życiu
Wow ostatnie czego się tu spodziewałem to młody chłopak, gimnazjalista
I don't think I've seen anything more 2009 internet than a Red Ball playthrough with a Clannad Afterstory wallpaper
took me a while to realize itsMaximum was you, love seeing dedicated members do stuff like this, "Summoning Salt isn't going to cover the game I run? Fuck it, I'll do it myself." Extremely well made!
Summoning Salt dropping the Punch Out record was legendary
this has been the only thing on my mind for the past few days, especially now that its premiering within the hour, cant wait!
SO TRUE!!!
big fan norxor
Bro, 53:28 that's a wild stream you have there hajsjsh
lol, nice overlay there on the 3:12 osu.ppy.sh/users/14936736 this you?
@@enchantedspider8842 yes :)
This is legitimately a fascinating video about a obscure game, with a gripping progression. Well done!
Thanks for the kind words!
this isnt that obscure but yeah you're right
58:23
"Between EG and I..."
wait what?
*checks channel name*
WAIT WHAT?
So glad that Jezs came out clean.
And prove much later that he actually can do it without spacing.
Yeah, that's how splicing works. It doesn't denote a players skill, but rather their patience. Jezs clearly had the skill to pull it off, just not the patience to do it all in one go.
Jezs is the perfect example of not only guilt being a deadly weapon. But also someone who fell way downhill but than climbed back up. It's pretty damn inspiring.
The narrator switches remind me of a school project presentation lmfao
"Aw a flash game, it's been a while since I've seen those! I'll just watch this cute little video before bed!"
the video: *a little over than an hour long*
Cute little video?
@@mrnubbones8626 lmao did you only read half my comment. I thought it'd be short, simple, and sweet lol
@@szymon200000 I know it’s just that the wording is weird I dunno I’ve never heard anyone call a vid cute
@@mrnubbones8626 ok lol
i didn't even realize it was over an hour long till i read this comment lmao i swear that felt like 20 minutes
This game was my childhood. Even tho I’m still a teenager, I was literally raised by this game. The nostalgia is immeasurable.
Wow, this is quite a high quality documentation of the speedrunning history, with a lot of intrigue, drama, and complicated gameplay. This video deserves hundreds of thousands of views.
its over 600k now and will I'm guessing go over 1M in time.
Popping champagne over red ball is on another level man, this was a trip
I never thought I would feel so betrayed by someone cheating on a flash game about a ball.
Incredible video, wasn't expecting to enjoy this so much. Love eg's hype crew
Me after seeing who made this vid: WAIT ITS THAT GUY
same lol
I got to the part where Rareeg came back to claim WR and was like “aight, that was a good vid and a cool way to end it” and was about to close tab when i saw i was halfway through the video. Then i saw who uploaded it! Rollercoaster of emotions
When it showed "ItsMaximum" had started running the game, I stopped and thought "I heard that name before... Maybe they commented?" not realising you made the video lol
I cannot understate this:
This might be the best video to ever exist. I used to play Red Ball as a kid. I thought as a joke recently: what if there was a summoning salt style video on red ball
I turned this on as a joke to watch for 3 minutes, and here I am after watching the full hour. This video was very well made and was very interesting to watch. Who knows, maybe I'll even attempt to play it 0.0
Please save me i watched it 7 times already
This was like an actual movie, thank you for providing us with this content!
Imagine creating a world record progresion video so good that it's partly responsible for making itself outdated.
Car: *exists*
Red Ball: I must go, my people need me
Not sure what this is about, but I am not complaining and will definitely be tuning in at 1:00 PM tomorrow. 😎
Didn't even know this exists up until now, my bad on the leaderboard thing lmao. Solid work
YO ITS SIX ROCK!!
glad you found the video lol
ahahahaha ok
You got rekt by Flower lol
I am still crying to this day
ahahaah ok
Idk why this is in my recommended but I’m so glad it is
Check out Summoning Salt and Karl Jobst if you liked this. Way better and a more pleasant voice to listen too.
@@pinut187 they're good too, but it's especially cool when someone without a background in speedrunning history just makes a video on something they're passionate about, which can be seen here
outstanding video! it’s always cool to learn about lesser-known speedrunning communities and their accomplishments
glad you liked it!
Really well made, loved every second of it. Especially the overview graph every few minutes, all speedrun progression documentarys should have that
Glad you liked the graph! I think it is a great visual tool.
Did you really just make me watch a full hour video of speedrunning a 12 year old flash game of a red circle?
Yes, yes you did. and I loved the whole thing. Epic.
Commenting to help the most important speedrunning documentary on this site
This is the pinnacle of internet culture
I came into this video saying "fuck it why not", I ended up deeply engrossed into this roller-coaster of a story.
I am so glad that this video is as long as it is. I have seen a lot of world record progression videos before, but I feel like this one has a full 20 minute long speedrun progression video for each phase of a categories lifetime.
Man I remember sitting in high school playing this game nonstop thinking I was a speedrunner back in 2010
"but what is angular velocity?"
Hey that sounds like something Vsa-
*Moon Men starts playing*
I keep coming back to this video, something about your content is so entertaining and no matter how many times I watch your videos they still never bore me.
pretty cool story, it seems the community for this game was pretty cool, that clip from the discord call when the guy got the record was really nice and i like how several of you took part in narrating/producting this.
What a great video I clicked it out of curiosity and stayed for the whole video. I got so invested in this history I was so hype and jumped when WR 3:19 was achieved. Great editing and so interesting to see how this game and community developed.
I already watched that same vídeo 7 times and every time it reaches jesz fake speedrun, eg first ever submited speedrun i always genuinely smile lol
I love how RUclips decided to make Redball super popular through this single video.
Most of the people who saw this video have probably played Redball 4 in Coolmath.
Never would have thought I'd end up here at 3am in the morning watching a Red Ball speedrun documentary. This vid was amazing.
same!
same here lol
29:09 who’s that guy i really wonder who that guy is
hmmmmmmmmmm
Geo! :D
@@FloofleGD nah I don't think it's geo it's definitely someone else playing
lol hi
This is honestly a fascinating topic, and i commend all of you for your dedication and persistence! This is super accessible to people with no knowledge of the run, and it's just generally super well made c:
Never did I think I would be fully captivated watching a one hour documentary on a game I used to rage at on my dad’s iPad.
32:52 Jezs must have Been so happy when people were finally able to play with him again.
10:42 reminded me of the vine of they flying lawnmower
Unironically a really, really, really great video. Well-produced, well-edited, and a great showcase of how this great community came to be.
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.
backspaced, everybody know rb5 sucks ass
@@RyanYakovich You've never run it so how do you know huh?
DO NOT run RB5
You KNOW what you're doing
@@CacoPholey What am I doing?
@@Backspaced_ Encouraging people to run RB5
AKA encouraging them to torture themselves
out of this world editing, brilliant video!
The Super Mario Galaxy Soundtrack is a treasure to us all
The fact that people are making world record progression videos about less popular games really inspires me to make my own world record progression videos! Thank you so much for putting so much time into this amazing video!
I love speedrun WR progression vids and this is definitely top tier.
Cinematic masterpiece, good job
Rare.eg is hilarious! Also great video
man that dk jungle theme was hot, i never knew that version existed
Masterpiece Of A Documentary Didn't Expect To Watch It All
weird seeing certain strategies were discovered by certain people in certain years knowing full well me and my friends playing this absolute A tier game back in 2010 in the school ICT suites were doing them accidentally while trying to not get caught not doing our scratch projects - serious nostalgia in this video good work!!
10:31
red ball in the car ignoring physics: oh no, great view from up here!, oww I am now 30 miles ahead of the checkpoint, ooo leme just cram into the car and fly away!
Me, realizing i just watched the history of Red Ball speedrunning for an hour.
I've never seen better music in a speedrunning documentary.
Well this was the last thing I expected to appear in my recommendations today, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great video.
Who would imagine that im addicted to videos of speedruns of a game that i loved as a child
The rare gang is comedy. Had me geeked when the whole squad pulled up after the tournament win
I feel like I'm going to cross paths with red ball speedruns when I ask Alexa what happened this day in the past
R.I.P. UltraAug, you will be remembered
I like how the chapters refer to the music. It is very helpful, and should be done by more RUclipsrs. Also, as a Mario fan, I was happily surprised with all the Mario music.
Holy shit nearly went through the whole video without realizing YOU were maximum
You weren't a kid if you didn't play this during IT class.
I love the car level segment a lot, both because it seems funny, and because you also use coconut mall, which is my favourite track from Mario kart Wii (both as racing track and sound track)
Crazy how the WR is almost 30 seconds faster than the WR here, time flies so fast
it's also faster than 2:45, the fastest segmented run when this was uploaded which is even crazier
Yep, this is going in the save to watch later list
The amount of times I've finished red ball as a teen is embarrassingly high
Easily one of the best flash speedrunning videos ever
YEP
Used to play this game in middle school, I have very fond memories of discovering most of the speedrun strats with my friends when we would race eachother
Having Jezs not only describe his own villain story, but also be a co-narrator for the parts involving your own records, was an inspired choice. It's nice to see that some speedrunning communities have redemption stories. Cheating almost always results in excommunication forever.
This is epic! Incredible that you're able to talk about the speedrunning history of a simple flash game for an hour
48:48 Laughing at this, going through all the different version files to find the one with the correct jump. CLASSIC!
55:34 CLASSIC
I didn’t know it, but I needed this
It’s finally time bois... too bad I wasn’t with y’all to see it but it doesn’t matter cuz red ball 1 wr history is finally here
I literally cannot believe that I just spent an hour watching people do something that I don't care about on a game I've never played... You're welcome
Let's freaking go. High quality vid as always
This deserves so many more views! Outstanding speedrunning documentary!
I need you to understand that this is top tier content. I’ve never played this game before and watched the whole thing. Thank you for what you do.
This is some dedication to a 12 level game
This is one of the most entertaining things I’ve ever watched
Glad I got to be here before 1 million subs, the qualitiy on this video is insane!
this is a great video. thank you so much for taking the time document this
i’m so invested oh my god this is amazing g
I played this game for years not knowing there was a whole community dedicating their free time to speedruns. Glad to see that there's others who enjoy the game as much as I did :)
Gratulations to the 1k :D, u REALLY deserve it!
i just love that video so much, never have felt so much hype watching a 1 hour video in months, i just wanted that this had more hours lmao
