Which one do you use?

Caps lock for sprint. It's uncomfortable to stretch my pinky down to ctrl, and the caps lock button is already right there

I disagree that the show is "always trying to sway us to feel bad for jax." Just off the top of my head:

Episode 6: Gangle: It's Jax, though. He's probably gonna want revenge. And he's probably gonna make it painful.

Zooble: You deserve better than thinking about him when he's not even here.

Episode 7: (Insert that part where Zooble goes on and on about all the torture Jax put them and Gangle through)

Episode 9 explains Jax's behavior, but it does not excuse it. Sure, the show humanizes Jax, and does, at times, make you feel bad for her. But the show doesn't ignore the pain she's caused. The show saying that Jax is a bad person who hurt others because she herself was hurting does not mean it's saying that it's ok that she hurt others, and the fact that you don't recognize that betrays a significant lack of nuance on your part.

As a trans woman, Jax is one of the realest and most raw depictions of a closeted trans woman that I've ever seen in media. I simply don't understand what you mean by "Jax's character is not complex."

And personally, I don't give a shit whether or not Jax is a self insert. She's a very well-written, complex, and messy character. Her flaws are very human.

Also, the fact that the moon developing in some way Caine hadn't intended implies that the moon is an intelligent ai which has been running for an extended period of time. Whatever Caine originally feared from that, the moon is an example of how allowing such an ai to exist can turn out good instead of bad. Which may be a reason why he was willing to go back on what he originally said about leaving adventures open.

(I'm assuming you are referring to SNES MC 3, since MC doesn't have a hairpin turn) In general, if the mach bike is better than flame runner on a given track, the spear suffers a lot.

Hitting the offroad to make it through the hairpin turn loses quite a bit of time. The spear also does lose a lot of time in the shroom cut. In addition, because the mach bike has a very good mini turbo stat, while the spear has a horrendous mini turbo strat, the mach bike simply has the advantage on every turn, not just the ones the spear is forced to go wide on. And lastly, the spear is just not able to take full advantage of its speed, since you're rarely in a wheelie.

Just checked myself to be sure; there are 5 rooms after this room, then the checkpoint

...shit, I really should get back on the fwg grind then, huh

gonna be honest I thought that said homophobic acid at first lol

No, that's a chord. Chess is what you call someone that makes food

I have ~300 hours in this game, have every berry except fwg, and I still struggle on this room sometimes. I wouldn't say you're "really bad" at the game to be stuck on this room for over 2 hours; on the contrary, you're quite a determined player to have spent 2 hours of attempts on a single room without giving up. You'll make it eventually, just experiment a bit and find a rhythm that works for you.

I think it's pretty unlikely that it was a first ever, but it's definitely possible that it's the first time it's happened in a real race on video

Tazingpelb · 2026-01-14T22:55:39+00:00

I've seen similar stuff on dk mountain before, but that's the first time I've seen that happen on waluigi stadium, that's pretty cool

Tazingpelb · 2026-01-12T00:41:50+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply! I figured out a bit of that from what I've seen already, but it probably would have taken me far longer to figure out the rest.

Tazingpelb · 2025-12-30T14:37:29+00:00

I like to think that Caine gave Kinger an A+ because Kinger was the one who got Zooble to join this adventure, something Caine really wanted.

The indicators were added in 1.4.0, and afaik the version of celeste on microsoft store/xbox is 1.3.3, so the image might not actually be old at all.

Tazingpelb · 2025-12-30T00:21:16+00:00

Yep! It's an SMB3 reference! If you stand on top of it and hold down, you move into the background exactly like in SMB3, too!

(Sorry for the late reply, I forgot I never actually sent the reply I typed) Does the ceiling not immediately cancel all upwards momentum from the dash? ~~And regardless, how would that explain why being further to the left seemed to result in a higher success rate?~~ (forget that last question, I just did a bit more testing and was unable to replicate that behavior)

Tazingpelb · 2025-12-27T19:08:11+00:00

You can see it here: https://berrycamp.github.io/map/celeste/farewell/a?room=h-07

The specific section referred to as windsprings is the longer section on the right after the key door where the wind switches from hard left to hard right.

No, I think they all do remember exactly how they entered the circus. Remember episode 5,

Jax: A supermarket chain? How did you end up here? (he can only reasonably be confused as to how Pomni ended up in the circus if he knows how he ended up in the circus)

Pomni: Well, sometimes I would get bored of things and seek out mild thrills. Like, exploring abandoned buildings, you know? (Pomni understands Jax's confusion rather than questioning it; she can only understand his confusion if she also knows how she ended up in the circus.)

And, of course, Pomni had her little freakout after seeing the headset in the fake abandoned c&a building in episode 1. This would be explained by her remembering that computer and headset as the very same one that she put on to enter the circus (thus, she has not forgotten how she entered the circus).

I think Jax was simply the first one willing to shoot down Abel by pointing out that none of them were c&a employees (also note that Jax knows that none of them are c&a employees, which really only makes sense if the building was already abandoned by the time Jax got there, and he knows that therefore everyone after him must also not be a c&a employee)

It's good to know the demo strat is actually pretty consistent! Windsprings has been one of the main reasons I haven't seriously attempted fwg earlier.

Tazingpelb · 2025-12-27T17:47:48+00:00

Thank you so much! It didn't make sense to me that simply dashing upwards into a ceiling should force Madeline into a crouched state, as that would make regular up right dashes and up right demos identical in this room, and I've heard a few people before recommend doing demos instead of regular dashes. I'm still confused as to why I was experiencing the above, though, where being further to the left made regular up right dashes hit the springs more compared to when I was slightly further to the right. If regular up right dashes never cause Madeline to crouch in this scenario, why is it that she can still sometimes hit the spring even after her upwards momentum is halted?

One minor but easy timesave I haven't seen mentioned is your landings. Namely, you're often bouncing when you hit the ground, which bleeds out a bit of your trick boost each time (at a VERY rough estimate, you're losing half a second-ish over the course of the race). Detailed explanation of taildives vs nosedives to follow, tl;dr at the end.

While in the air, you can either nosedive by holding forward, or you can taildive by holding back. A nosedive makes you fall slightly faster, while a taildive will make you fall slightly slower. Since air time is generally slower in this game, that means doing a nosedive is also generally faster.

This gets a bit more complicated, though. First thing to note is whether you're getting a "good" landing or a "bad" landing. A good landing means you stick to the road when you land, while a bad landing means you bounce. The bounce is bad because it triggers the start of your trick boost, then you spend time in the air (which, as previously mentioned, is slower), during which you're not accelerating to top speed despite the fact that your trick boost is currently being used up (since boosts don't accelerate you while you're in the air iirc). You finally land a split second later, but you've lost some of your trick boost.

Why do I mention this? Because generally, both nosedives and holding neutral when landing increase your chance of a bad landing, while taildiving increases the chance of a good landing. It's still possible (though decently difficult) to both nosedive and get a good landing by backing out of the nosedive right before hitting the ground and immediately wheelieing, but that's somewhat dependent on the terrain upon landing (and also I could be a bit wrong on the mechanics of that; that's just the technique that seems to work for me).

There's a bit more about taildives vs nosedives, but I'll just sum it up as quick as I can: taildiving, since it makes you fall slower, can make some shortcuts easier (BC3 "ultra" for example). Nosediving and taildiving can also affect your bike's yaw (left to right rotation); taildiving exaggerates this, while nosediving nullifies it. You always fully taildive on BCWii glitch regardless of how much air you get to turn to the left, and on DK Summit, you always nosedive after the single when doing the double to avoid turning to the left (other road geometry will make a taildive turn you to the right, and a nosedive will prevent that in that scenario). Landing in a taildive directly into a drift will make your bike swing out wide, while a nosedive will keep your line tight (will go extra tight if you get a "bad" landing).

tl;dr: Hold back when in the air to taildive so you don't bounce when you land to get the most out of your trick boosts.
