Most Celeste speedruns are done in under two hours, but there's one particular run that takes a very, very long time.

    Imagine a run being so outrageously long that someone finds an entirely new skip well after it starts and the runner can just incorporate it on the spot.
  • Link staring at a rupee for 17 hours 🤝Madeline waiting around for 118 hours 🤝 The Knight killing bees for 45 hours 🤝 Mario pushing against a wall for 23 hours
  • Link: I've been staring at Rupees all day! Madeline: Hold my beer.

    Don't you just love it when you stand still for 118 hours in order to become nearly immortal
  • i love it when low% runs make you just sit around and do nothing for hours at a time
  • "You see, there's a floating point variable" AHHHHHHHHHH
  • @EuniverseCat
    Had a great time working with Sushi on this! If you have any questions about the run, I might see it if you reply to this, but I'll definitely see it if you comment on the vid linked in the description!
  • celeste speedrunners in 2020: spikes are a suggestion celeste speedrunners in 2023: what is a spike?
  • Reminds me of the Twilight Princess low% run where you stare at a rupee for 17 hours to glitch through a wall to avoid grabbing a key
  • @makingnoises2327
    finally, a Celeste run that mirrors my own approach to mental health struggles
  • When I saw the title I was immediately like: “this either low% or 100%”
  • @attmayMB
    I never thought a video about doing nothing would grab me, but Msushi pulled it off!
  • @906robot9
    This reminds me of Hollow Knights Low% True Ending run where you kill bees in the same room for 45 hours
  • As soon as you hear a timer based value that relies on a floating point you know the glitch is gonna involve several hundreds of hours waiting
  • @m0n5a80
    I love how the rules eliminate the "half a-press" debacle outright by instead counting how many times you have to grab a wall.
  • @Source28
    The limits of Low% categories are always hella interesting to watch, great video as always man 💙
  • I think my new favorite categories of speedrun are all the ones where the optimal strategy takes literal days.
  • plot twist: the glitch was intentional and it was just the developer's way of saying "you've been here for 118 hours. i'll help you get through this as best i can, but please take a break"

    So this is the reason why the latest TAS has achieved things never seen before Since that day, I wondered how they were managing to go through certain spikes that you would never think were possible
