Impossible Celeste Speedrun Finally Done After 5 Years 

Thank you so much for making the video!!! It feels weird having someone talk about exactly the stuff that was going through my mind. The video turned out really well! I wanna make my own in the future, too. Here's my twitch for anyone interested: twitch.tv/rickfernello Good luck with future projects!! 💚💚

5:20 damn I can't believe he became the first brazilian, he inspired 216 million people to become brazilian too

that ending clip of rick brought tears to my eyes. cant even imagine that feeling

I love how every video about celeste can just use the games soundtrack. Lena Raine is a treasure

i remember seeing that he had done 202 deathless and my jaw DROPPED. rick is genuinely one of the best players to touch this game, i have a lot of respect for him.

him completing the run is one of those clips which is impossible not to smile at.

I can't tell if Rick's reaction is laughing, crying, or both. I cannot overstate just how crazy such a run was, 202 deathless in one run!

"It's hard to believe that it's over, huh?" That must've been the most difficult challenge i've ever seen in a game. Holy

So this is what Ralsei has been doing while waiting for Kris and Susie to come back to his castle for chapter 3

When you said he got 201 deathless on his first try my eyes popped out of my head like a cartoon character

0:10 ahh yes, a "wavedash". that's what that was. it defiantly wasn't an extended midair demohyper.

Love the videos! Great edits, commentary and coverage. Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more :)

Hi, thanks for making this video, it's really great to see Rick's accomplishment being celebrated, it truly is one of the most insane achievements this game has ever seen. That being said I do have some criticism that I think is important to mention: The beginning of the video where you compared Rick's run to speedruns had some points in there that I think are unhealthy. Calling Rick's run "a far greater challenge", or saying that "speed is only the first stage of mastery in a game" both feel like very misleading statements. They are different playstyles, completely incomparible to each other in terms of difficulty. Using speedruns which were played with the sole intention of going fast, risking death with difficult tricks to save fractions of a second, just as a way to build up to saying that a completely incomparible achievement is "a far greater challenge" felt pretty disingenuous. I'm sorry to be a little negative and I am not trying to take anything away from Rick's achievement or the rest of the video that is focused on Rick's journey. I just don't like the precedent that if a run is deathless it is better than a top level speedrun that has a few deaths in it, that is simply not true.

I have no words. I still remember trying farewells final screen for a couple hours and trying to get the golden strawberries for a couple levels. To think someone did it all in one go with 0 deaths like that

I actually cried watching this. As a celeste player,i never really had much interest in even doing deathless,so i just moved on to modded levels. But after watching this? I think i will go back to it. Corgratulations man! You are amazing,and a legend.

For ages I always joked about someone doing a 100% deathless. And now, I have witnessed it

I actually forgot that the winged golden was in this run. It makes even more impressive than It already was

The power of fluffy bois truly shines in rickfernello.

I'm approaching 202, but it has been such an arduous battle and I may never finish Farewell's golden strawberry. The mere concept of doing it all deathless invokes some kind of primal fear in me. I have tremendous respect for that achievement.

I watched the whole VOD of the run because it’s such a cool thing to see how it happened, as well as Rick and chat being entertaining the whole way through. Mostly Rick, though.

The minute you mentioned goldens I knew who you were talking about, massive respect to Rick, 1000 days is certainly something 😅

The indomitable human spirit vs the cruel indifference of the universe

A cool video to highlight an amazing achievement! Although I don't think it's fair to compare speedrunning and deathless runs and call the latter "a far greater challenge" than the former (0:19). They're both very impressive and difficult disciplines to master, just in different ways.

As a (pretty bad) Celeste speedrunner, this has to be the most impressive videogame-related achievement I've ever witnessed

man put his heart and soul into this game for a whole 8 months. Literally day in and day out. dedication. And to see it all pay off in that single moment is almost heart breaking as Rick because now you know you did it and the training paid off but now you have no where to go.

Wait I had no idea golden farewell was that special. I did it on nintendo switch, now I don't have any receipts 😭

Descobri sem querer que ele é Brasileiro alias. Em um momento da live, ele começou a falar um português cheio de sotaque em resposta a um colega. Quando ele confessou que tava de zuera eu fiquei Q???? Hahahahahah parabéns a Rickfernello, consegui meu 100% 202 moranguinhos 🍓, mas sequer consigo imaginar conquistar o mesmo feito que fez.

I felt that reaction so hard :O What an achiefment, Crazy stuff and really well done.

8:56 - Yours truly has summoned the egg army

This is amazing. I found rick on twitch last year, and I began watching his 202 deathless attempts, and the day I found out he got I was so excited and happy for him. He is one of if not the best celeste speedrunner I’ve ever heard of.

Dude the fact that you only have two videos and they are this amazing is incredible! I love your stuff

This should be a documentary movie/series.

That was a incredible moment to watch live on stream. GG to @Rickfernello for this greatest achievement 😊

I amazed on how people manages to push the boundaries and exceeding something that would be deemed almost impossible, puts to show anything is possible as long as you just put your soul into it!

It’s obvious that we hit the zenith of this game! Another truly legendary accomplishment completed! I know of other many legendary accomplishments like a Coda Hard run and Boss Rush SN2.

You and your videos are amazing. I need more! This was mind blowing! How I haven't heard of this one yet is unbelievable, you nailed it. 👌

I cannot imagine all the pain Rick had to go through, i can just feel the sadness and the joy he had when he finished the speedrun

Every run of Celeste is a speedrun as long as you don’t turn off the timer in settings

A very informative video able to make people interested about a game style that they don't play. It's very good. Thank you for all the efforts

bruh the reaction is so sweet I can feel a clot in my throat just watching him accomlpish something so great

It's truly incredible that someone managed to do this

The 202 bpm run

Amazing video and an amazing accomplishment by Rick! Subbed and excited to see what you do next!

I'd be crying too if I put myself through that kind of torture.

Sometimes you can feel people’s emotions through the video. I felt his relief and his joy.

Incidentally, that's exactly 7*7*7...*3 days! Gotta love multiples of perfect cubes

im glad that rick finally got the attention he deserved i remember when he had less than 1k subs on yt, that guy is absolutely wild

How the heck is your video such god quality and you only have 1k subs? You're getting a sub from me. Love the video and hope to see more of it in the future. Surprisingly enough, I was getting back into Celeste only recently and I'm so glad this video manage to make its way to my recommendations. Seeing this video makes me more determined to keep grinding for more golden berries before trying out some mods. All I can say is, what an accomplishment rick has achieved. Every time I looked at documentations about speedrunning accomplishment, I can't help to applaud for the amount of practice the player has and the mental strength that kept them grinding to reach for greater heights or achieving something that no one has ever done.

i just cried from the reaction at the end, so wholesome.

If you're someone who listens to that man's reaction and still thinks accomplishments in video games aren't real...then I think you're not real, man!

when someone has too much time on their hands, and doesnt like quitting... u get a speedrunner.

I actually followed this in real time! (Somewhat) So proud of Rick for doing this.

I’m feeling that this video will garner a lot of views considering I managed to randomly stumble upon it. Awesome vid!

that run was a classic. cool video telling about the history of the runs !

how cool, he became the first brazilian after geting the golden berry

I couldn't even beat the driveway.

That one unemployed friend at wednesday afternoon:

I happened to be there live the day he did it(very lucky of my because I usually only have time to catch like 1 stream per 5 that he does) I literally had my saxophone out and was playing along with the ingame music. Then when Rick got the last berry I literally played a victory fanfare for it that I had come up with earlier 😅

I have... five, maybe six, golden berries. 1A, 2A, 1C, 2C, and 4A, and the winged golden in 1A.

Just started playing Celeste recently and after watching this video I don't know if I can enjoy the game anymore. To 100% the game twice back-to-back seems so impossibly insane that I find I don't feel a sense of accomplishment anymore as I finish chapters after dying like 250 times. I can't even fathom how good Rick is at this game

You deserve a ceremony for that achievement Well done Rickfernello

Rick is the most inspirational dude of the century. Change my mind.

You can hear the joy from his voice in the ending clip, its just beautiful.

I am subscribing so I can tell my friends that I subscribed to your channel when it only had 2.5k subs

I like the part of the speedrun where madeline says trans rights banger video quaide i love you and ur hot

7:40 I got the clear flag playing casually by accident lol, but it was just for the first level. I thought it was just getting everything but not in one run, watching this I realized that it was like that.

9:55 all advancements Minecraft speedrun allows to take breaks because average speedrun takes ~10 hours which is very unhealthy to do in one sitting

*"But sometimes, speedruns aren't all about speed."* *But also....for the run.*

cannot wait for your channel to blow up this is so good???? youre so engaging and your editing is amazing??????

8:18 you can hear him not liking the joke and not wanting to say it

Can't believe Ralsei Deltarune is a professional Celeste speedrunner 😮

Woah, I didn't even notice he only made 2 videos until I saw his poll in my feed, damn man this is impressive

Damn, the video quality is amazing, that's like Karl Jobst's level! Keep up the crazy work man and thank you for the video, I subscribed!

Most speedruns try to be deathless anyway in order to save time. To find out it's so hard that deathless is an entirely separate category is nutty

Ive been playing Chapter 9 on 80% speed and just got stopped by that wall of Crystal Hearts. Anyway, THIS IS CRAZY

Incredible editing 🐐🐐🐐

insane editing on this video game speed run mini-doc actual goat.

202 deathless might just be the most ridiculous achievement I've ever heard of

Instantly subbed, you deserve way, way (add a couple more "way-s") recognition. Great video.

THIS GUY NEEDS MORE SUBS

4:14 ralsei be grinding frfe

Bro your vid's are GOATED. Keep up the grind and you'll be huge!

I'm from ricks community I wasn't there for very long before he got 202 deathless but when he started saying things like "I don't think I can do it" we all reassured him that he can and here we are today

I just finished 100%ing Celeste and I can NOT imagine doing that deathless, much less twice in a row.

i feel motivated, like Vergil is coming inside of me!

TOP VIDEO FROM QUAIDE? yes.

I reached heart gate in farewell and that's the furthest Ive gotten, this is so so so insane I doubt I could even achieve anything near to this. Wow

Rick is based, not much else to say really

rickfernello congrats on geting the gold berry on that level

5:45 my favorite thing to tell people about celeste is that the only golden strawberries I ever got were chapter 1 and core c-side. seem like fully opposite ends of the spectrum but they're the easiest for me lol

Sure Rick the other day was crying of happiness

Oh noooo.Only two vids.. It's one of the most interesting channels I have seen in a while, so keep uo the good work, sir!

1:15 WAIT WHY IS THAT MY ACTUAL DEATH COUNT IN GAME

Good video!

truly the celeste run of all time

Your editing style is really great!!

dude I keep finding so many underrated youtubers wow

"most people could do any percent deathless" Riiight.

On an attempt for one of these I jokingly said "didnt demo, coward", he immediately did it flawlessly first try.

This video was amazing! You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber, can’t wait to see how your channel grows in the future
