@DejaVoodooDoll The game doesn't considered it as "half a press", it counts it as two separate A-presses when it was actually only one, continuously held depression. You halved the _amount_ of A-presses needed, but you can't literally half a depression. You either depress it or not. "Half A-press" is a confusing term.

"...and that's why it stood, and stood, and stood. For one month." Many many speedrunners have fallen in to the trap of proclaiming, and maybe even believing, the record they set cannot be beat. Unfortunately some have taken it pretty hard when the constant of speedrunning occurs: all times can be beaten. Maybe not beaten in the way you'd think, however, maybe it turns out something believed to be impossible is possible.

I never had much interest in speedruns either to be honest, but there are some really amazing ones out there. Most entertaining run/runner I've ever seen is Heyzeusherestoast who does Bloodborne speedruns. Fascinating game to see run (play it first if you're bothered by spoilers), and probably THE most fascinating runner I've ever seen. Another great game to see run is Sonic Adventure 2. There's a great run by Talon floating out there. Some games are clearly superior speed run potential and become infinitely more entertaining than almost every other game.

Summoning Salt is genuinely one of my favorite channels on KZread right now. Not only do I love the vocals, and find the speedrun history fascinating, but I also binge-watched a lot of the channel's content when I was going through a rough patch and it was just very therapeutic during an extremely nerve-racking time in my life, so this channel definitely holds a special place in my sub list. Keep up the amazing content, man.

Dude your videos are actually so good and i see how you cant post videos often. They take a lot of time to make. All I hope is that you keep making these videos because they are top notch and very entertaining. Thank you.

summoning you have been played, those hundreds of speedruning experts were just my alt accounts, i used them to manipulate you into creating an amazing video and inform me on the history of mario 3 speedruns

It’s really funny to me that people wouldn’t like warp whistles. Like, I can understand them saying glitches shouldn’t count because it’s unintended and glitchless is its own category and stuff. But to say that an intentional game mechanic is cheating is super confusing and nonsensical

Right? It's like saying SMB2's potions are a form of cheating. To be fair, the speedrun is considered "warpless" for a reason, but the amount of frame-perfect glitches and sheer luck you need to pull off the perfect warp-free run is downright masochistic.

But leaving you alone to handle it all by yourself when it's his kid. That makes me mad. No matter what your dealing with, to leave it all up to the girl is downright sad and I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I don't know the guy but it's perpetuating a bad cycle. I was an only kid and was raised by a single mother. Barely saw him and now I don't plan on seeing him again. But I love my mom very much and recognize how hard it must of been for her. And then when her mother died when I was 14 she was completely alone besides me. You can do this. Hope you have supportive parents cause that'll make a world of difference. Don't forget to take time for yourself from time to time. And know that it is not selfish to do things for yourself. As long you care for and love that kid your doing your job right.

Funny, warp whistle got people riled up about "cheating", and then they proceed to use actual glitches and unintended mechanics like wall clipping in their warpless runs. Well played.

@NPC# 8675309 Most every speed run is about glitches. Games are built, though generally unintentionally, WITH glitches in them. So long you use the games features, again even if unintentional, you're beating the game using the game.

4 жыл бұрын

@NPC# 8675309 try actually performing the glitches used in these runs more than once, and then try to tell me the game would be harder without them. for all of these glitches used in these runs you have to do pixel/ frame perfect movements in order to execute them, and you have to do it multiple times. for all but the very best Mario 3 players, it would be way faster to just do the level normally because of how difficult it is to perform theme glitches, so I fail to see how a glitchless run would be more impressive.

Each video gets better and better. This man is a legend

I'm just dumbfounded that Mitch was getting WRs playing on a sideways wiimote

Mitch’s original speedrun was what introduced me to speedrunning as a concept, and even though I eventually learned to run SM64 much more competently than this, SMB3 was the first game I ever actually put time and effort into running myself. Don’t get me wrong, I sucked. But I was still on another level compared to the average person so it was still really impressive to show off to people.

I’m fascinated by these videos you make. Not only are they really entertaining, it’s probably a nightmare to edit and create. I really appreciate the effort that goes into these and I’m excited to see what you do next!

Summoning salt should seriously look into either public speeches, or movie making. Well, actually as much as I know, he could be. Keep being an absolute legend, my friend. And thanks for entertaining millions of people. 👌♥️thank you
