Thanks Summoning Salt I just finished the video and you take something that seems trivial such as Wii Sports speed runs and tell the story in such a way that at the end you actually felt the heartache and the impact of that last missed putt. My heart actually sank and I was like damnnn. My wife was like what is wrong as I was listening with headphones on the couch. I told her this guy missed a putt in Wii golf and she looked at me sideways lol. Thanks for everything bro!!!

The time for the miis to turn around and throw to first after the grabbing the ball changes depending on how far they have to stretch for the ball, so it's different every time. Miis stretching for the ball also changes the time for out to display on 1.0, so there is never a 'constant' time to compare against. There is also random lag that can occur in Bowling and Golf when striking / hitting rock walls and doing ds that is extremely prevalent in 1.1. To compensate, a few months ago a version variable was added to the board, meaning that players can filter runs to include just 1.1 runs, meaning there is a psuedo-seperate leaderboard. Also big fan of your vids champ keep em up

His first speed run he submitted for the category was an 8:38.850 on May 12th 2023. He submitted 8 more runs over the next 7 months when he finally managed a sub 7 run. His previous run before that held 4th place for a day if I am reading the leaderboard right. Mr_Shy_Guy could’ve been the first sub 7 if he had 1.0 but it wouldn’t have held up against RyMacG4. RyMacG4’s account was only a few months old without a run to his name when this video was made.

I love how the early strategies basically boil down to swinging that damn wiimote as hard as you can and then praying to your deity of choice. That's some real high level gameplay right there

I like these videos because they're always like "He's done the impossible, and he knew he would never be beaten" and then you check and there's 37 minutes left in the runtime

Not trying to show off, but he could talk about my record on Cscz on Expert… he could also talk about the Easy category, which is the most competitive, though I only took part in it once, actually doing a deathless solo run, instead of the usual way.

A phrase I never thought I'd hear: "he accidentally threw an immaculate inning"

So I've rewatched this video a lot in four months. Probably 10+ times like all of the other summoningsalt videos. But it just now occured to me how much correct baseball terminology is in it. Like everything from an "Eephus pitch" to an immaculate inning, literally every opportunity to talk about baseball the terminology and references are on point! I played ball for most of my life, and either so has Summoning, or he put in a ton of effort into this video that is being glossed over. Really appreciate the extra details!

I wanted to chime in here and give kudos on the terminology as well, and mention that in real golf a similar rule exists as to what the community came up with. The ball must remain in the hole to be considered holed even if it's already hit the bottom of the cup on a bounce. Also, if the ball is trapped between the pin and the lip of the cup, it is not considered holed unless a portion of the ball is below the level of the green. Otherwise, you have to pull the pin to see if the ball will fall in or stay on the edge of the cup.

Summoning Salt is really good at storytelling. I started this video with a bemused "competitive Wii Sports? Haha, sure. How does _that_ work?" mood and I ended the video with a heartbroken "sub-7 minutes was there, it was possible, it was *real* for a fleeting moment..." I appreciate the choice to end on a hopeful note, reiterating that a pace like that has been seen before, and will be seen again. Normally in these kind of speedrunning analysis videos, you only see the one successful run, and don't see the hundreds of failed attempts it took to get to that point. And putting the spotlight on the struggle (instead of the triumph) makes the story feel more relatable, more human.

This channel is the gold standard of what KZread is capable of. Whenever there's a new video I feel like I did back in the old 1970's-1980's era of PBS and BBC documentaries: real content, great storytelling, no bs, perfect announcer, and of course always walking away having learned something. None of this is flashy or loud or over the top, it's just amazing content.

Videos are far and few between but hands down Summoning Salt gives me more excitement for a new video than any other channel on youtube. The wait doesn't even bother me. My absolute favorite. We love u Summoning Salt!!!

Damn, I sure hope Nomad gets himself a world record one day. To consistently be so close to the top for so long, to miss out on a new world record by mere hours, but to never quite reach it, is a heartbreaking thing for anyone.

Ah... just got to the part where he talks about how rare version 1.00 of Wii Sports is. I was gifted my Wii console the Christmas after launch, but a few years ago when a cousin and I tried to play the copy of Wii Sports it came with, the Wii U wouldn't recognize it. :( Knowing that it's of value for a speedrunning community makes it even more of a bummer.

Honestly 1.00 shouldn't be allowed. Alternatively, everyone playing on 1.01 should just have the 11 seconds lost in baseball subtracted from their end time. It's pretty ridiculous that people competing to be the most skilled in the world have to hunt for a rare copy of the game to give them an unfair advantage.

I was really hoping Nate9000 would come back at the end

Video is so well made. Such a good series!

What an ending!! If you followed salt long enough you know he almost always ends the video with something like "...and this is where the record stands today". But acknowledging and praising the determination it takes EVERY high-level runner to get where they are on the leaderboards has so much impact. Thank you for bringing this up and thank you for positively pushing people like nomad to reach their goal. Stay determined and keep pushing, Nomad, as well as Shockwave. One of you guys is gonna get the sub 7 and you earned it!!

So stoked to see what you come up with next. Your videos are amazing and I am not a hard core gamer nor do i even game now days. But your music and story structure makes for truly epic story telling, you are more than skilled to draw me in on a topic i usually dont care much about. Im rooting for these guys and i know nothing a out any of them. I could only imagine bei g a gamer what an hinor it must be to be covered ir featured in a summining salt record video. Whats up next boss? I am ready to watch it the moment it releases, as always I promise to watch every second at least 3 or 4 times in the 1st week. Here i am watching and rewatching all your. Ideos again. Ive been using them to fall asleep to and they play throuvh the night. Im clocking you sone watch tine fir sure.

Summoning Salt's videos are top notch. The music, narration, clips, explanations and the passion of his voice, is just remarkable. Honestly, one of the best youtubers in history!

The simple fact that these guys stay sane while speedrunning Wii sports is impressive on its own

4:40 demonstrates how truly special the world of speedrunning is as there's a drive into deep left field by Nate9000 and that'll be a homerun. And so that'll make it a 5-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'll be putting on this headset again. Whether that be for the Reds or my bosses at FOX.

The encouragement for Nomad at the end was so sweet. You're a great guy, Summoning Salt.

No doubt, Shockwave's insane record is a big part of why Nomad's acknowledgement in this video was done the way it was. He deserves to be acknowledged for what he's done yet may never get the WR.

36:10 "He accidentally threw an immaculate inning" is not a sentence I ever thought I would hear lmao For those who don't know much about baseball, an immaculate inning is one of the most impressive feats a pitcher, or really any player, can achieve. In MLB, it's about 4x less common than a no-hitter.
