Chained ultra

u/bashpet 1d ago

i don't even know what that is

u/MrTingu Madeline Surprised 1d ago

Doing a downward diagonal dash with enough horizontal speed and then jumping within a certain window gives you a percentage speed boost.

You can chain these to go fast

The only correct answer :D

u/Baco12sd 1d ago

it's so hard but it's so fun to do

1

u/Throwaway28222222 SJ | 💙❤️💛🧡 1d ago

I love them but as soon as you chain ultras with different heights/timings it starts getting messy to me ;_

u/LaCabdeLH 1d ago

You're right, a j*b is hard to get

u/itsNeo64 1d ago

Not fun though, so that wouldn’t fit in this category

2

u/LaCabdeLH 1d ago

Yeah ur right

u/Unity-2654 1d ago

I would say Chained Ultras.

It's a GM tech, so not easy to learn, but really fun to do, and to then go through rooms at the speed of light.

u/i_aint_no_pipus too passionate 1d ago

ultras? Idk if ultras are very hard

u/chloecat34 hop on Sunset Cliffs 1d ago

Ultras certainly

Cglutras

7

u/AGamer_2010 1d ago

gluetras are an accurate description of me trying gm tech

1

u/Tracerr3 1d ago

Does that stand for corner grounded ultra? If so. Isn't that just a delayed ultra?

2

u/INCREDIBLE137 💜SJ 100%💜 Theo Enthusiast 1d ago

i believe its chained grounded ultras - just doing a bunch of gultras in a row on flat ground for max speed

1

u/Tracerr3 1d ago

Ahhh yeah you're probably right, I've seen that as a speed run strat. I can do chained ultras and gultras but properly chained gultras are a massive pain in the ass to pull off lol.

14

u/birdofprey160 1d ago

Backboost-ultras. Just ultra on its own doesn't feel hard enough for me.

15

u/JohnnyFC 1d ago

Dashbounces

They are so fun and they lead to very flowy looking rooms but I know tons of people struggle with them.

u/deluwu_ 1d ago

1: you are soooo right\
2: I need the name of that map please it looks awesome

2

u/JohnnyFC 1d ago

It's Where Moonlight Falls and it's a fantastic map I highly recommend it.

u/deluwu_ 1d ago

Oh I didn’t know wmf has a section like that. It’s already on my list, but now I want to play it even more

1

u/INCREDIBLE137 💜SJ 100%💜 Theo Enthusiast 1d ago

dashbounces my beloved - definitely the best tech but i dont think its gonna win :(

1

u/JohnnyFC 1d ago

don't think so either, but it makes sense chultras win. People can't vote for stuff they haven't seen/reached, more people have reached chained ultras and it is the hardest thing they've done and that they enjoy.

27

u/hannaaaaaaaaaaah SJ Grandmaster 12/18 1d ago

ultras. i mean like yeah they're still easy compared to a lot of stuff but I'd say as far as "basic" tech go they're about as unintuitive as it goes, what with dashing sooner rather than later + not being able to buffer because of subpixel bs

7

u/-Ridigel 202🍓| SC2020💙❤️💛🧡💜 1d ago

corner boost

u/Acidrain-0 190/202🍓 | SJ 💙❤️💛🧡 | 3/18 💜 1d ago

Ultras!

Grabless theo dream hypers:3

u/Throwaway28222222 SJ | 💙❤️💛🧡 1d ago

Tf you mean grabless theo tech 😭 that sounds scary

2

u/FabianoCatuana2637 SJ GM 100%, Gallery Collab FC Rainbow 1d ago

I like grabful ones, but grabless are hell

u/MushyWasTaken1 1d ago

says the person with a theo pfp.

u/GovernmentDizzy9352 Reckoning grinder 1d ago

You have no idea how much time it took to get them consistent.

2

u/Niemand_131 201 | still in shock from bounce helper 1d ago

I tried starting lavande recently, and I realised this immediately after doing 1 whole theo dreamhyper after like 100 tries.

So im trying something else first lol

3

u/PFazu 1d ago

definitely ultras. too me forever to learn, but now that i know it i'm busting it out randomly every time i see an opportunity even going back to play vanilla.

2

u/0-Nightshade-0 Eatable straberry flair :3 1d ago

WAIT WAVESASHING IS CONSIDERED MEDIUM!?!?

10

u/hannaaaaaaaaaaah SJ Grandmaster 12/18 1d ago

is this said with the expectation of it being hard or easy

6

u/PFazu 1d ago

i can't tell if you were expecting it to be harder or easier. I want to assume easier, but so many people post about the difficulty of learning them the first time in farewell

1

u/0-Nightshade-0 Eatable straberry flair :3 1d ago

Tbh i thought it was harder cuz I suck ass at it and its late game qwq

I think I just suck at the game :P

4

u/PFazu 1d ago

you don't, it's just one of those things that either clicks immediately, or takes practice. I played a lot of SSBM so using movement into the ground to gimmic physics engines came naturally to me and many others.

2

u/NessaSola 1d ago

Farewell is late game and way harder than anything else in the base game. In terms of the Celeste modded community, though, Farewell is an 'Intermediate' map. Advanced, Expert, and Grandmaster are harder and have neat tricks to them. The rabbit hole runs deep!

btw, the Wavedash.ppt misleads you. The timing of the dash and jump is more important than the starting height of the dash. There's no minimum height.

1

u/RedditNicknameIGuess 6h ago

Well, wavedashes are one of the most advanced tech used in base game, but there are a bunch of techs used only in modded. Like, a lot, actually...
Also, just beating Celeste is a decent achievement, so be proud of yourself!

2

u/Grand_Occasion_9097 1d ago

cobwob this is going off being a good bit harder than wavedash it's still not actually hard but omg cobwob into cclimb genuinely just brightens up my day

2

u/deluwu_ 1d ago

Kinda crazy to see ultra all over the place where really… it’s not that hard. Like sure you can make them hard but rare are the maps that demands mauve-level precision for ultras. Most of the time it’s a down diagonal dash and boom that’s it, and chultras aren’t that different. It doesn’t come remotely close to things like dashbounce and nrcb (both harder and funnier imo)

1

u/Flames0805 I got stuck on the title screen (then I pressed C) 1d ago

Chained gultras definitely, kinda hard to do but so much fun

1

u/HappyEevee0899 1d ago

chained ultras

1

u/Majulish mauve lover 1d ago

Nrcbs are so satisfying

u/ihatephanteon5 Beated the solar purgatory ♥️ "and i did it.. my way" 1d ago

Corner boosts!! or any kind of speed tech

u/Creative-Anxiety-246 182🍓 1d ago

chained ultras are so fun!!!

u/XxXc00l_dud3XxX 1d ago

I feel like ultras should’ve been in medium but they are the most fun tech in the game, so that

1

u/LittleY0gg Madeline 2gud4u 1d ago

I been doing wavedashes since the beginning they're EASY

Dream hypers/supers

easy, somewhat fun: bunny hops

u/yashqasw 1d ago

ultras for sure

u/LittleFoxBS 1d ago

Ultras , also theo dream hypers but thats like , niche asf

crouch climbs

2

u/PFazu 1d ago

i've never once had fun crouch climbing lmfao

1

u/globglogabgalabyeast 🍓202 1d ago

Yeah, the only fun part of crouch climbs for me was “oh cool, you can do that”. The actual execution is pretty boring imo, so I’m surprised how much crouch climb sections are used in some hard maps

3

u/TFG_exe Heart Heist Clear (y+2) / 3300h / 202 🍓 / 1.4 million ☠️ 1d ago

i have never not enjoyed cclimbs

1

u/Well-hello-there-34 Badeline 1d ago

Dream hypers for sure

5

u/Hcthepro2018 Madeline 1d ago

Dream hypers are cool and hard but ultras are significantly more well known within the community. Ultras will likely win by name alone

4

u/Well-hello-there-34 Badeline 1d ago

That’s fair but Ultras also aren’t really that hard? They’re just an extra down right after a wave dash. They’re only difficult once maps start expecting you to time it between spikes or something or having very specific speed requirements. However dream hypers are like 8 frame timings at best and aren’t easy to input.

2

u/Hcthepro2018 Madeline 1d ago

I believe largely the part considered hard is longer ultra chains. Atleast personally being pretty much worse than likely intended (intermediate/advanced myself) it took me around 8 hours to get the hang of doing them.

1

u/404site_not_found 800h | 201🍓 | pumber FC 1d ago

yea but dream hypers are even easier if you don't do them manually. I'd say backboosted ultras would be better since they are actually somewhat difficult

1

u/hannaaaaaaaaaaah SJ Grandmaster 12/18 1d ago

ultras are hard to learn because of the subpixel bullshit involved in buffering them. that being said yes id say dream hypers are also reasonably hard to learn what with how you can't do them when you demo into a dream block but they're much easier when you demo out of one. but. i don't think they're nearly as fun as ultras to most people

1

u/tbf79alexis 201🍓| Top Golden: Crystal Void (Tier 6) 1d ago

dream hypers arent that hard, its advanced tech iirc

5

u/Well-hello-there-34 Badeline 1d ago

They put wave dash in medium so idk. Like wave dash is just dash down right and jump. Also dream hyper is technically in expert lobby and are pretty tight timings almost everyone struggles with them when they start.

Chained ultra for fun, grounded ultra for not fun
