PINNED COMMENT Hi. Firstly, thanks to y'all for watching and commenting on the video, you are the best :) Secondly, a bunch of you found ways to avoid some of the grass touches in this video, so I will list all of them here: Big thanks to 2deoxyribose, who found how to avoid those three grass touches: - The cutscene grass touch at 5:29, which is avoidable by stacking up speed from the Kevin in the previous room - The cutscene grass touch at 7:06, which is avoidable by skipping the cutscene on the very first frame, which for some reason doesn't teleport the character - The cutscene grass touch at 7:40, which is avoidable by doing a precise extended hyperdash and skipping the cutscene high in the air Here's a video (from 2deoxyribose) showing those skips: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGiaupuKg9GsoaQ.html 2deoxyribose also found a way to avoid the grass touch in The Summit, using a fancy mechanic called "spinner stun". However, as it requires about 87 frame perfect inputs in a row, I will consider this strat TAS-only and will not consider this grass touch avoidable for a human. Here's a video example from 2deoxyribose's channel: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2d8xNaEp8uviqQ.html However, it is also possible to do this without a TAS in a different way. As 2deoxyribose and Shade stated, this spinner stun thing can be achieved in another way, by simply waiting for 118 hours, which completely breaks 2/3rds of the spinners. Cosmoe_2 tested this and confirmed it does allow to get past without touching the grass, which would be a human-friendly way to get past this part without touching the grass. (although you do have to wait with the game opened for 118 hours) Also, the grass touch in 4a (at 2:50) is avoidable in two different ways. As RichConnerGMN and Rarebeeph suggested (RichConnerGMN even sent the TAS input file to show how it's done), a double corner boost can skip this grass touch. And as meta04 also mentioned, 4b is possible grassless so we can also just grab the B-Side Cassette in 4a and play 4b instead to completely bypass this grass touch. Also, as Magic_Pickle123 and RichConnerGMN stated, the first cutscene with granny only gets triggered when you're looking towards her, so by jumping and turning away from her before landing, we can avoid this grass touch as well. And as Nico stated, there are two cutscene grass touches I missed in this video, which both happen in Chapter 2, where you spawn on top of a tiny piece of grass in an unskippable cutscene, and that happens twice in the chapter. To recap, this makes 4 cutscene grass touches and 2 character grass touch avoidable, but adds 2 more cutscene grass touches. Which makes the theoretical final grass touching count at 3 cutscene grass touch and 0 character grass touch, resulting in 3 total grass touches, which makes the entire game possible without any character grass touches! Thanks to all of you for your comments and your help, thanks to you we now know how to avoid almost every grass touch! :)

7:45 Badeline putting you through all that pain and suffering just to roast you at the end is so funny

Hey really great video! I speedrun and TAS this game so I thought I could offer a bit of input. It's actually possible to skip all three of the grass touches in chapter 6 though they're pretty tricky and require some kinda obscure mechanics and knowledge. First is that cutscenes don't automatically reset your speed to zero meaning if you can enter a cutscene with enough speed it's possible to skip it and spawn somewhere the game doesn't expect you to spawn. In the room before the grassy corridor before the fight there's a Kevin block and it's possible to build up speed from that Kevin and very carefully keep speed into the cutscene so when you skip it Madeline will fly right into Badeline without touching the grass The second grass touch at 7:07 requires some really niche knowledge about Celeste. Not getting into all the technical details (partly because it's not super important and also because I don't fully understand it) but if you skip this cutscene on the first frame you have control after you enter the room it doesn't teleport you to the ground. Since transitioning screens gives you your dash back you have your dash again to dash to some not grassy ground The last grass touch can be skipped by entering the cutscene high enough and skipping it fast enough that you can just hold right to fall in the water and skip touching the grass and then dash up to the next room. Here's a short video of me doing all the skips described above: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGiaupuKg9GsoaQ.html 40 minutes later edit: It's also possible to skip the grass in the Summit with tech called spinner stunning which is extremely impossible for humans to do and very, very complicated (I can explain if desired) but if we're looking at what's technically possible to skip here's the grass skipped in the first room of Summit: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2d8xNaEp8uviqQ.html Great video and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with!

Wow, thanks a lot for all of this info! I guess I should learn TAS so I can try some of those things more precisely instead of just bruteforcing manually for hours Very interesting, I didn't think about the kevin in the previous room, and I didn't know about the skipping cutscene on the first frame trick, great stuff! I was 99% sure the last grass touch in Chapter 6 was avoidable but after trying over and over for 2 hours and having to go all the way back to the previous checkpoint every single time I gave up trying to do it, good to know it's actually doable! Oh yeah, I knew about spinner stunning but since I don't TAS I didn't even try, good to know it works! If I understand correctly it's something like you have to pause every 3 frames to prevent the spinner hitbox from loading or something like that? Also, I don't remember where I heard about that but doesn't waiting about 3 days completely breaks the spinners too? (although waiting 3 days would be very inconvenient) I'm glad you liked the video, and I will make a pinned comment to inform people about the possible grass skips. Thanks a lot for sharing the Celeste obscure knowledge! :)

@@Rhododo Anytime and yep, you're pretty much right on the money on spinner stunning. There's a lot of complexity in the nuance of it but the three frame thing is correct and yes, you can wait 118 hours to unload 2/3rds of the spinners but as you say it is very inconvenient

hi, celeste "expert" here for the granny cutscene in prologue, you can repeatedly jump to the right and face left before landing. for some reason, this just... doesn't trigger the cutscene. for the grass touch in 4a, i was able to skip it with a double cornerboost. the tas input file will be in the replies to this comment. at 4:38, you conveniently skip the part where you have to touch the grass at the top. though you don't actually have to, because if you stay two pixels away from the wall, you can just climbjump up the wall without touching the grass at 5:31, just do a bhop off the kevin like in speedruns

Good to know it's possible to skip the grass touch in 4a with cornerboosts, some other comment gave the idea of unlocking and doing 4b instead but if the cornerboost thing works too that's even better, I guess I should learn how to use TAS at some point instead of bruteforcing manually for hours At 4:38, I didn't touch the grass at the top, I had stamina left so I just grabbed the wall at the very top and jumped forward Ohhh I didn't know about this kevin bhop thing, thanks for the info!

I did try my best to do a corner boost, but I couldn't get past without touching the grass. Maybe the wind current prevents that from working, or maybe it could just be me not being good enough at cornerboosts to do it properly (which is probably the case) However, as meta04 stated in a comment, 4b is possible grassless, and we can grab the 4b cassette before reaching that wind current part. And since clearing the B-Side without clearing the A-Side allows to move on to the next level, that could be used to avoid the first grass touch!

Also, I only realized just now that there's so much grass in Chapter 4 because it all serves as a cue for the direction and strength of the wind blowing. So it adds to the aesthetic of Golden Ridge, makes a good chunk of this challenge really interesting, and serves a gameplay purpose in the game as it's meant to be played... that's some powerful grass! :D edit: Also really top-notch editing in the second half of the video I love it lol edit 2: gheezus thats a hard question I'm gonna go with samurai potato.

"I was told to keep off the grass, and I was never told to stop."

The comedy is absolutely spot on.

Respect for the pain you probably went through to touch as little grass as possible. Any KZreadr who tries challenges like these which require a lot of time and strategizing to do as little of something as possible (sometimes doing nothing of said thing) deserves a LOT of subscribers. The editing is better than my editing, even if I tried. This was entertaining all the way through, so good job. The extra details you added like the berry touch count (4 touches) appearing for a split second at the end of the video is a nice addition. TL;DR: good video, you suffered, great editing, and also you got a new subscriber.

Good effort, man!!! I don't think I'll ever be that good, but super happy there's peeps like you to aspire to.

I'd personally like to attempt this myself since there could probably be a few places that cutscene grass touches could be avoided, but tbh it may (or may not I'm not sure) take some black magic acquired after hundreds of hours of playing Celeste. I'll look into it sometime

@Rhododo

Жыл бұрын

I also think it may be possible to avoid some of those. As Magic_Pickle123 stated in the comments, the granny dialogue one in the prologue is avoidable by never looking towards granny I don't remember if the one at 5:28 teleports Madeline when we skip it, but if it doesn't maybe it's possible to grab on the edge of the block on the right I really don't think the one at 7:07 is avoidable, since skipping the cutscene does teleport Madeline on the grass And finally, I definitely think the one at 7:40 is skippable, since it doesn't teleport Madeline after skipping the cutscene. I did try for two hours but couldn't quite reach that water without touching the grass, but that's probably a skill issue on my part. If you find that any of those are skippable, let me know! I will put a pinned comment with all the skippable grass touches.

You can avoid grass in some cutscenes by jumping before triggering it and then skipping. Skipping the cutscenes only changes the x-coordinate of Madeline, and y remains the same. This way you can jump or dash over the grass without touching it.
