i read this comment before i finished watching the main tas, and i thought i’d kinda gotten it spoiled… but that skip was *way* better than i’d imagined :0
Wow! What a spectacular ending to an already mind blowing TAS! The Celeste speedrunning community has come a long way since I visited it back when this game was less than a year old. I'm so proud of you all!
I have to say, my expectations going into this were low having seen the tas runs from previous years. However this surpassed not only my wildest expectations, but also every previous tas I've seen. Very impressive run, good job.
TAS gets enough speed to get past the heart gate before it closes. It's also very doable for humans. They have to collect hearts for the gate in core because it starts out closed.
We _could_ attribute the increase in Celeste running to the pandemic, but we should probably attribute it to the pandemic giving people time to themselves to figure out who they actually are and Celeste being good at helping new eggs. /hj
I struggled through Celeste for forever and eventually completed the main game myself in under an hour which I’m proud of. This, on the other hand, is disgusting in how epic it is. Daaaamn!
