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

This can take hundreds or sometimes thousands of years each time it is used and it is used each time the b button would otherwise have to be used to jump.

Celeste is rare for me in that I followed the game from the start, not realizing at its release how popular it'd be for speedrunning. So as such, despite not being a speedrunner, I had the unique opportunity to follow how strats developed and encourage as a fan and even friend to some streamers in their efforts to complete their runs and find new strategies. Despite all that, I had _no_ idea this insane minimum grabs run was a thing. Thanks for informing it!

low% always makes the funniest discoveries. Love the twist they bring to speed running. I wonder if these games should consider using a cheat or smth to skip time (and add it retroactively to the final time) so that the runs can be submitted more realistically (472 hours is daunting and gates the run off from ppl, i think the 17hr rupee isnt so bad as you can realistically do it in weekend but how many people are willing to wait 3 weeks?)
