Since its inception in 2009, the red ball series has had a very interesting and unique history. Likewise, the speedrunning scene that surrounds it contains events, strategies, and stories that may be somewhat unknown or hidden to casual observers. In 2021, a Red Ball Speedrunning iceberg was created in order to collect these various aspects and topics, ordered from most known to least. Moving down the layers, the light from the sun shines dimmer and dimmer, as the relative knowledge of the topics becomes more sparse. This video will aim to analyze just the first three layers of this iceberg, the surface, while the subsequent part will aim to explain the bottom three, the depths.

    I’ve never been more happy that the algorithm recommended me some speed run history video about some red ball game I’ve never played
  • @NorXor
    thought the "red ball elite" was gonna be about the secret red ball government conspiracy and was sorely disappointed
  • @maxbrown8109
    Game dev: * draws a circle and fills it in red * Speedrunners: now this looks like a job for me
  • @hydrog.
    I liked red ball as a elementary school kid and seeing how much the game grew is amazing.
  • @omniwaffle3163
    I never thought I'd get so invested in Red Ball after youtube randomly recommended your sub 20 train video
  • @socksygen
    This is the start of something truly beautiful
  • Honestly, Red Ball is my love at first sight when I played the game on Friv back when I was a kid, and despite that it has no story, it's has a simple premise. Now, we need a deep analysis about Tarzan Ball.

    0:20 my brain automatically went to "only a small percentage of you are subscribed"

    Unironically a really, really, really great video. Well-produced, well-edited, and a great showcase of this great community. Also, for any new runners out there, I highly recommend playing the fifth game in the series, Red Ball 5. It's a little underrated because it's not an official game in the series, but it's a very neat game nonetheless. Please play it, I am begging you.
  • I remember on the iOS 2 player version of the game, redball 2p, the app allowed local multiplayer via Bluetooth. My friend and I, who had iPod touches with no wifi, would use the Bluetooth function to connect our phones to play Minecraft PE locally. It tricked the game into thinking you were connected to a LAN, and we could play
  • @_end3rguy_
    I can’t find the ost for red ball 3 mobile cuz it’s “no longer supported in my country”
  • I think it's crazy that there's so much depth and even lore to these silly little flash games with a red ball. Such a cool community honestly.
  • @Skye3979_
    Red Ball was my favorite game years ago. I was very surprised to find it has such an active speedrunning community. Who would have thought a flash game from 12 years ago would still have such a dedicated following?
  • @AnnoyedGamer123
    I just set through a 22 minute video about a game series that I only know from EazySpeezy and don't care about in an other fashion. Saying all that though good video mate.
  • @qmelzthevoid
    youtube recommended me the sub 20 train video and it seemed interesting so i watched it. 2 days later, now, i am here watching this video i don't think i have ever played red ball.
  • @generic4417
    Love your videos, been watching for a little bit. Great Job!
