The longest CPVL Clear ever - MOCE//CPVL Clear | Celeste

Heyyyy, so after 76 hours (with 41 only for Perfection), 60 000 deaths ( Edit: after a quick check it's more like 82 hours and 68 000 deaths if I consider a practice file) and a range of more than 6 months, I've finally cleared MOCE//CPVL, becoming the 50th person to do so ! And by the same occasion, I'm 90% sure I'm the one that took the longest time to finish the map. Also fun fact, I think I'm the only Dualshock 4 user that cleared the map, so there is that. And final fun fact : I'm pretty sure that Collapse by Nightmargin, the song used in the latter half of the map is the song I've listened to the most in my life, since I heard it for approximately 62 hours, and considering it's a 1 minute song I heard it 3600 times, which is probably way too much time for a single song. Thankfully it's a banger, so ...

I began the clear back in November (You can tell that with the audio from the video because you can hear Rickfernello trying to get 202 deathless and Parrot Dash trying to clear LXVI), when I had never cleared any Hard list map (and also when input history was still OK) (and also when I still did not know how to use OBS to record some clean gameplay and audio, sorry for the first half of the video) just as a fun thing, to know how far I could go. To my surprise, I made it to Perfection in just the span of two weeks, but I quickly realised that Perfection was way too much for me, so I took a long break, during which I cleared DMR, Mauve and o7D1D. It was really necessary for me, as Perfection no longer felt impossible (even though it took that much time). So, after reclearing room 7 for a good warm up, to set up a proper input display and to fix some awful audio, I went for it, and now after than a month of trying, I'm finally done !

Even with all of that struggle, this map really is a ton of fun, sure I would rather have not mindblocked 25 hours on Perfection, but what it makes you do, what it makes you feel, it's just something you rarely have in any video game experience. I do also think that this kind of map really somehow brings player together to help each other and understand the map. So yeah, thanks Shye, Dan, Kaizo, Issy, Alex, Ninz and everyone in #hard-clear-general for helping me and giving me the strength to keep going.
Also, shoutout to Viv for live fixing the cornerboost block at some point because a bug made Perfection litteraly impossible for a short period of time.
Finally, shoutout to Parrot Dash for giving me the will to push my limits and to never give up ! (You can actually hear him trying to clear LXVI room 8 during my last scuffed clip in room 6)

If you ever plan on finishing that map, I wish you the best of luck, and if you are looking for a clear to get some inputs, then good luck to you, it's worth the struglle.

This is kind of a long description, especially long considering how little people will actually read this, but I thought about what I wanted to say for half a year now, so I think I deserve to write a bit too much lol.

This is currently the 8th hardest modded map on Celeste, and it definitely deserves it's placement, I don't see any world were this map is easier than Passionfruit Pantheon (sjgmhs).

Anyway, here is the map by Isabelle : https://gamebanana.com/mods/409812

Thanks again everyone, next up is Avian Ascension and on another side Farewell Golden, but that is after my fingers rested, cause right now they hurt pretty badly.
