Are ya only doing mario speedrun videos? I don't mind just wondering
Maroo
cool
You’re welcome
Matt Turk built different
cammy here as well
Even still lol
pog u cammy
pog Cammy is here
What the cammy doing?
“And his name was Matt Turk” had me believing in a speedrunning cinematic universe
Matt Turk is the main character of speedrunning
andrewg has me believing that now
I really said out loud "Omg"
Hahahahaha I came here to say something similar
I was honestly questioning if Matt Turk had any limits for a couple seconds 🤣
It's interesting how SM64 is both carefully, thoughtfully designed and also held together with string and prayer
A lot of the most interesting parts of games are actually faults or certain ways they choose to make the game. Accidental not purposely done.
Every project ever made by humans, from the best to the worst, are like this
Specially when it involves programming, even the best made programs are held together by duct tape, you would be surprised how many companies use decade old software that has entire sections of code with comments made by past devs that go something like this:
// "Don't delete or change this, I don't know why but this piece of shit somehow holds the fabric of the universe together, add to the counter and pass on to the next unlucky dev"
// "Hours spent in this hell: 340h"
Advanced Duct-tape technique jutsu is the best way to describe Mario 64 imo
Don't forget paper clips and bubblegum
The string and a prayer parts are carefully, thoughtfully designed too! They had to figure out exactly where they could cut those corners to optimize the game without affecting normal gameplay.
Rules of Japanese speedrunning:
1. Scream like you're being brutally murdered if you get a record
2. Be uncannily fast
I like that the second part is being fast
3. "YATTAAAAA!!!!"
be unKANNOly fast...worst joke ever
slipperynips reaction is what i strive for if i ever get a record or something like that
"oh hey. sweet."
like dude. you're the best current player in the world? and you're reacting to this information as if you found twenty dollars in your pocket
Suigi definitely met that criteria
Summoning Salt videos hit different man, there's nothing like them on CZcams
Yeah they do.
Oh shit, hey Schaff :)
I just rewatched your tomatoa video for the 6th time
I'm still waiting for the shrek the musical review, Mr Schaffrillas.
I like Karl Jobst too. Both of them make really good videos about speedruns.
His reaction at the very end was perfect. "Wow. Alright. Cool. Sweet."
For anyone curious, current WR is 14:35:500 by Suigi which is a staggering 15 seconds faster than 2nd place (Slipperynip)
New skips/strats found I assume?
@@TopDogRL from what i recall, it was raw and pure optimization in every single way. you wanna talk about human limit? that's it. people were in disbelief, fearing he'd cheated.
damn suigi literally has all record but the 120 star
Bro put spoilers
@@HDTomospoilers for a wr?? What? 😂
Summoning salt has built such an speedrunner’s video doc universe that Matt Turk appearing at anytime is believable even if it doesn’t make sense
Still is the funniest troll Salt’s ever done, lmao
LMAO it's so unironically true though.
Matt Turk really is the Thanos of the Summoning Salt Cinematic Universe
Probably every speedrunner is just an alterego of Matt Turk, so he holds every record, all the time.
Shut up
You got me SO good with the Matt Turk! I was like "WHAT. I didn't hear about him running this game!" Yet I could wholly believe it.
same
not proud to admit I popped off a little seeing chuggaconroy in the comments
A wild chugga appeared
same!! he bamboozled me!
If Matt Turk was there, that would make it the greatest crossover because ludwig donated somewhere in the video to akki.
It's a clear sign of a skilled storyteller when salt can make these documentaries so fascinating to viewers like myself who haven't played videogames since they were kids and in my case have never speed run games . It's one thing to appeal to a core audience but very much another to appeal to such a wide viewership, kudos to salt...
Same
I've never even played the games I watch speedrun explanation videos about. I just find this stuff so endlessly fascinating that it doesn't matter.
I've literally never played super mario 64 but I watched this whole video gladly haha
Yeah, agreed. I don't care about most of the games he covers at all, but the way he narrates with his music and editing just keeps me captivated 👍
SAME! I've been invested in the entire video. Everytime I thought he was showing the last one, there was someone better xD what a Rollercoaster, but super interesting and engaging
I love how slippery nips’ reaction to world record was just “wow, cool”.
Sweet
alright
Dude has mastered the art of zen. No matter what, win or lose, he will never lose his cool.
testicle
new world record by 2 seconds in a highly optimized game.... "alright, sweet."
for alll those that are curious the as of 12/20/22 the all time 16 star record is held by suigi with 14m/41s/380ms
How did he squeeze out another 15 seconds? Has a major new trick been discovered since 2021?
@@TVmuki nothing major at all, just better optimization with a FEW small new things to save fractions of a second. it really comes down to perfect play at this level
@@TVmuki chip clip, optimization, insane Bowser throughs, ect, there still is time to stay
Now down to 14:35 and some change 😮
this aged well
Had me going with the Matt Turk troll.
Dude’s like the boogeyman that can pop up anywhere.
Same dude
When he said that I physically pogged
Then he said “just kidding” and the disappointment set in
that troll got me good, i was mid "ooomg"
all I really had to say was "god damn it"
i freaking paused the video bc i said "haha Matt Turk" jus b4 he said it
I love the personality contrast between Kanno getting his world record and nearly/actually crying in happiness and Slipperynip beating his record and just going "alright"
I laughed and nearly choked on my Chex mix when I heard "oh. cool."
well kanno had been streaming for like 100 days
@@SweepSwapInUrWalls I believe it was 128 days or so, pretty crazy
He looks and acts exactly like the kind of guy I'd expect to call himself "slipperynip"
@relaxI_I damn hope hes good.
48:27 I know it’s heartbreaking to lose a world record like that, but I couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably when salt cut the music when Weegee jumped the wrong way lmao
It's so fascinating to see the skill floor rise in these highly competitive speedruns. At the beginning you can mess up movement and miss a Bowser throw. By the end, mess up even the simplest thing and you're out of the running.
Optimization is a b%tch like that lol
Once runs get highly optimized, they're almost frame-perfect by the end. By the time a game's SpeedRun comm has matured, there's almost no room for error at all. It's crazy, and why I've never gotten into running myself.
@@Eye_Of_Odin978 you can do runs for fun too, you don't have to go in to a game expecting to be among the best of all time. I set personal goals and try to beat those, even if they're miles away from the wr :)
I totally fell for the Matt Turk thing, "Holy shit, he did it again!"
Same lol. Especially because of the Contra thing. Speedrunning god
I was already rationalizing “man he truly is a talented player”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt Turk is a GOD among gamers, so I wouldnt put past him tbh! But that was a a nice gotcha haha
It was so convincing because he’s never tricked us before
Man Matt Turk was so wild, I actually believe you when you said he just randomly showed up and snatched sub 16
facts
I know, I was genuinely sad when he said he was kidding
I actually sighed and put a hand up to my face. Fantastic bait
Guys, summoning salt IS Matt Turk but he’s so humble he doesn’t want to make us noob gamers feel bad about not having his gamer genes.
I thought the timing of that WR was outta place for Turk's era but I didn't have long enough to really comprehend that it might be a joke before Salt got us all . . .
As a history major and history enthusiast I looove that you explain your sources and why some sources were included and why others were not. Then also addressing the limitations of various sources (this run had no video, this run we know happened because this community spoke of the live stream, etc)
Like this is really good historical theory
The effect of striking cheaters from history by not even dignifying them a name is a special touch.
My guy takes speedrunning, and turns it into an emotional movie. There is so much effort put in these videos.
literally my heart was POUNDING at several points in the video lmao
He really does have that writer's gift for narrative and suspense. Manages to make a pretty absurd subject downright compelling. Almost completely nullifies my ability to make fat jokes, but I do worry about these kids in chairs that look like they have integrated catheters.
@@amarissimus29 None of them are even fat though? Some look a bit on the chubby side, but they all look reasonably sized (that we see). Some like Weegee are even skinny.
@@Light_Dies_07"And his name was Matt Turk"
Spiderman into spiderverse< using the stair run is cheating, so it does not count
19:28 was almost the most powerful sentence in speedrunning history
Yeah that got me wheezing!
It says a lot about Matt Turk that I just straight up believed it was true, he certainly earned his reputation as a god gamer
That was a epic little Easter egg for us.
salt even gives him his own theme song now lmao
And his name...was JOHN CEN-*shot*
When weegee screwed up the jump into the star that was some of the worst second hand pain I’ve ever felt…

One of my favorite moments in these videos is when the wall of focus and determination breaks down to make way for the tidal wave of emotions when a record is set. I get the feels every time...then there's slipperynips who is like "ok, cool." What a legend!
A closely kept secret in speedrunning is that every top runner is just Matt Turk in disguise
To everyone who asks how top runners do live races at live events with crowds present: c'mon, it's Matt Turk
all speed runners are just matt turk in a trench coat
@@michaelhird432 they are just undercover agents with matt turk on the phone in secret while he tells them what buttons to press
Everyone on earth is actually just matt turk running very fast and doing everything roger smith style.
He pays actors so it looks like different people beating each other to take the record, in reality it's just Matt getting a better record
"There was just one problem: It had been years since someone with a funny username had set a record"

I was incredibly confused, but for some reason not really that surprised
I thought it was going to be AndrewG.
“Wow. Alright, cool. Sweet.”
What an ending. I love the way Slipperynip celebrates. Legendary
What an absolute chad.
Yeah he's just an average joe that only played a few times. No big deal to him.
Its a hobbie for him, and a lifestyle for everyone else
Slipperynip is the Joe Buck of speedrunners.
I love that he was just SO CHILL about it compared to how other runners would react
The #1 run now is a 14:35 with weegee in third with a 14:53

who is matt turk
@@lurl Watch SummoningSalt's other video, "The Quest to Beat Matt Turk", for the explanation.
@@lurl A famous speedrunner who, among other things, set early Punchout records that took a long time for others to catch up to. Look up "The Quest to beat Matt Turk" for more info.
@@lurl he's a Speed running GOD of NES era games. His name has popped up in a lot of Salt's videos about those games.
In Punchout though, he is The Alpha and the Omega. Salt did an entire video about how it took many players around the world years to meet (because they physically cannot be improved) or beat his records in that game.
That he's now effectively a meme for these videos is entirely warranted, and I love it.

"And his name was Matt Turk" literally sent chills down my spine.
I lost my fucking mind when Summoning Salt said "Matt Turk"
That was such a good prank lmao
dude same man i was grinning so much
Im actually hurt
Who is he?
@@Raza9428 watch the Mike Tyson video.
A guy named Matt Turk had times people years later barely matched so they seemed fake. Because no proof.
But the times he noted/claimed, were the exact same as the people later matched. So we’re they faked? One guy even has to TAS it to figure out what Matt was doing and another guy beat the TAS. Matt was breaking hearts before hearts came into play. Dude was ahead of his time.
@fefnirscards He also ran Contra, which is why it's a meme on his channel now. He unexpectedly popped up in another video.
The fact that summoningsalt and company managed to piece together legitimate record holders when there was over 10 years of splicers holding the record is nuts. There wasnt a single leaderboard like there is now so I'm not even sure how they did it.
the sm64 community archived pretty much all of their history and world records in a spreadsheet i think
This video definitely needs an update! Suigi joined the scene and makes everything before him look ridiculously slow.
Can you give the link of the footage
czcams.com/video/ngMFEeDoX54/video.html@@randomstuffs8495
It's scary how aki played 700 hours between the 15:08 and the 14:59. I will never have this level of dedication.
those are rookie numbers
And there's Kanno who put 3000 hours straight (with sleep and daily activities of course)
700 really is not that large of a number is the context of gaming at this point. Still a lot if you’re not super invested into any competitive game tho
Bruh idk what's worse: that you got us so good with Matt Turk or that Matt Turk is such a legend that we could totally believe it was him.
Probably the 2nd one but far as I know, Matt Turk focused on Punch-out and Contra. Still, given his legendary status on those games and a lot of recurring audience members for Salt, it's still a scathing reveal regarless if it's true or not.

So you’re telling me, KANNO had a stream where he played nothing but SM64 until he got the WR?!? The stream was 3,066 hours, which is 127 days ~4 months.
The level of commitment these guys have in speed running is something I desire in daily life.
Nothing like watching summoning salt at 11 at night eating pretzels after a mental breakdown. Thanks for being here.
I love how runners have only 2 reactions to a WR. They either detonate ot just go "oh cool"
Or they say the funny word
"This run sucks"
or just cry lol

@@BigKlingy
In order to focus energy on speedrunning and shorten the space between neurons his brain has done away with such trivial things as emotions, biological urges, or abstract thought. In fact if you tap his leg, he will reflexively pick up a control and start to play a near perfect game.

It's a He , Suigi!
This is one of those history videos I can listen to over and over again. It's like 4th night in a row I'm falling asleep to it.
Despite how much it's been memed at this point, I still legit get chills when I hear that first waaahhhhhh in your intro. It's like a siren for good content.
Audible signs of good times i agree.
We’re Finally Landing is one of the greatest songs of all time
Wait, is this the first Summoning Salt video where he actually acknowledges how goofy the runners' usernames are? He's been reading off these names for years like they are the official titles of historical figures, and finally he just couldn't help but acknowledge that "slipperynip" is, in fact, a ridiculous thing to say out loud
Lol
Yeah. I kinda don't like this new commentary. I prefer his neutral one.
@@Syagrius91 what New commentary? He made like one singular comment on the name
@@snonsig2688 and the matt turk joke. And the joke that weegee finally made it
@@-Mike- wow the man made a few jokes in a nearly hour long video. let's all complain about it because it ruined our experience.
I love your video style. They're just so captivating, I end up completely enraptured by the history of speedruns of games I've never played or even heard of before. The pacing's really nice, and I end up feeling so giddy when it gets to that point where speedrunners break the limit. Really nice job, dude 👍
I've watched this dozens of times literally. I put it on while I work or casually game. I love the story of this Speedrun and how you tell it. Cheers!
I absolutely love how Matt Turk has become the primary antagonist in the Summoning Salt lore
Not antaganist, but a legend whose mere name sends shivers down the best players spine
I absolutely love how this comment implies there is lore. SS Cinematic Universe, anyone?
first video i watch of this channel, who is Matt Turk? what videos should I watch?
@@BerriesNotNice You should probably start with the video called "The Quest to Beat Matt Turk"
@@BerriesNotNice Mike Tyson punchout records
Salt knows his memes he made, and I have a grudging respect for that.
Even if my neck hurt from my reaction from hearing Turk's name.
Edit: Probably would have been more believable for longer if the mentioned player were instead, like, Alex Penev or Dan Burbank.
"imagine a bus"
The Matt Turk thing got me. I let out an audible gasp after hearing that one. It hurt
Here after Suigi completely demolished his own WR lol
i come back and watch most of your videos over and over every few months, id want you to make more, but at the very same time, the amount of effort and research going into these videos takes the time to make them so good, so ill have to sit and wait for the next journey for you to take us on
40:57 "Akki was so close to a sub 15" And if that HR display is correct, he was also so close to having his blood vessels dilate to be as thick as his thumb.
173 isn’t insanely high, high stress or exercise can get u there pretty easily
That would be caused by high blood pressure not high pulse I think
idk why i feel like this myth was perpetuated by osu players or something ur hearts not gonna explode if ur heart rate goes to like 170+
I like the thought that Shigeru was actually the real Shigeru destroying his own game.
same
Yeah me too.
ok but imagine if
sæm
Same
I can't believe hoe great your narration is @Salt.
The pacing, retro music, records, buildup etc. It's amazing to watch and listen to. I am not a big fan of speedruns, but this is just fantastic
Actually had me with the Matt Turk joke lmao
Slipperynips reaction at the end is so perfect. This video really puts into perspective how insane of a record it is. After all these years matching damn near perfection on a game as complex as sm64 in celebration of such an amazing run we get a "Wow. Alright cool. Sweet."
Same, I just bedazzled on how he takes it so "casually". He's a legend. Hopefully he'll keep his rank 1 :D
Nothing hits like the last "HOME - We're finally landing" of an episode.
And that's where the stands is always a minor heart break
"And his name... was Matt Turk.
Nah, I'm just kidding."
Honestly, I would love to see a Quake Speedrun history. Demos allowed people to watch speedruns from their very conception. Plus Quake speedrunning led to speeddemosarchive and all that entailed. I think it would be a great video.
I've never played mario but this was fascinating. The end of this was incredibly epic, the way you edited the mystery guy beating every ones time, with that music, all leading up to the reveal "it wasn't ahkii, or oso etc.... *slipperynip*" beautiful man
'Wow...alright, cool. Sweet.'
how have you never played Mario?
Any time Summoning Salt says the words “Matt” and “Turk” together, it doesn’t matter what else he says, I will be on the edge of my seat ready to believe anything he tells me
If he didnt say just kidding history itself wouldve changed to fit matt turk in this timeline
"nah I'm just kidding" 😭💀
He got us good.
"Matt Turk scored a 15:54 while fighting off the Taliban and ISIS using nothing but his feet and a sniper rifle."
@@Twistedsackboy matt turk is the founder and ceo of nintendo, also hes god
“Matt Turk discovers the Earth is dodecahedral.”
I'm not gonna lie, I actually believed matt turk was a god amongst men for a solid 7 seconds.
He still is...just not at this game, tho I bet he would kick my ass at it
In fairness he's at least a demigod.
The man is pretty close. He appears in everything
I was super confused but not at all surprised, Turk is the kinda person that would find a 30 second save somewhere in SM64, not give any proof, refuse to elaborate, then leave like the demigod he is before people find out he wasn't lying
He probably can still beat everyone watching this video at Super Mario 64
Absolutely insane hearing how much life is in weegee's voice at the end of his 15:17, it feels like he's always been the jaded old man he is today
