"In the early 2000s, Megamind Any% speedruns looked more or less as you'd expect. You watch the movie, never pause and turn it off as soon as the credits start. But then, in May 2007, a runner named bimpshnizzle3008 biscovered the Intro skip. This changed everything."
And as streaming services had a surge of popularity in 2015, runners have been finding more and more ways to cut their times drastically through a method known as “bar scrolling”
“Megamind is a complicated game with many, tricks such as the bronze ball, the titan skip, and many more. This is a game that requires dead on precision with no room for error, and is regarded as one of the hardest games out there. for most, they would play a 100% play through of this game, so they could keep that magic moment that this game radiates, but a select few would have a different goal in mind, to beat it as fast as possible. This is the history, of the Megamind speedrun.”
The best thing about this video is that whenever you watch a summoning salt video, you pick a favorite speedrunner at some point that you root for, and there is a unrivaled amount of dopamine that hits if they really do achieve a new time.
No joke the fact that Summoning Salts' videos are so consistently formulaic and well edited makes them fantastic material for binging when I'm stressed or anxious.
The fact that Defeating Metroman wasn't even considered possible until it happened in 2008, is insane to me. Now the most popular category in Megamind is Defeat Metroman Any%. Also the fact that Megamind is still the record holder from 14 years ago on the very 1st Defeat Metroman Any% run is insane.
I think that’s fine, look how warped Despicable Me became due to it’s influence. I’d much rather have this movie be a lowkey masterpiece than another Minions shill.
"It has been speculated for years, but the inputs required were back-to-back frame perfect tricks, and so the community agreed it would never happen. Then, this happened."
"Megamind has been notorious for brutal rng and difficult execution. It is known for being one of the hardest games in the world. But despite that, runners pushed the record lower and lower. Let's see the runners who completed megamind any%. *music drop* On March 20, 2007 a runner named rockhardnippies completed a run clocking in at 39:45. The run was slow, but good for the time. But then noone played the game for over 5 years. Finally, on November 5, 2013, a runner named peepee123 submitted a run clocking in at 12:57. A huge time loss more than 26 minutes. Peepee123 had a trick up his sleeve however, he was armed with introless. Let's see how he did it." To be continued
In the PAL version of Megamind, everytime a scene changes, it can only change every 16 frames. Imagine a every 16 frames is a bus leaving the bus stop...
These videos have been popping up lately on my recommended. And I thank the algorithm for that. This was a golden discovery! And now to binge some summoning salt.
I just got that feeling you get when you're up late and the thing your watching starts to fade out and make less sense, and I'm not sure if it's because it is, in fact, late or if it was an entirely synthesized sensation made by this experience
“He did it. With a flawless cape pull and back-away, BluBrain set a new bar for high level play. A bar so high that he would take a break for the time being and let himself rest outside of the limelight. He saw what everyone else did, that this run couldn’t be beat. Unless someone could bear the grind and just brute force a new record, major strides would need to be made in glitch hunting for a more reasonable shot at topping BluBrain. Enter Titan24.”
For those of you who claim that Megamind's record is null and void due to Metroman faking his death, if you pay attention carefully at the scene where he splits the truck in half with his laser, you can easily tell that there is spliced footage. Metroman's death faking speedrun is exposed, and now Megamind will eternally hold the Metroman death any% speedrun world record.

As of November 2020, Megamind's record still stands
thank you for being everywhere related to summoning salt

"But then"
In january 2021 a stream by the name of jack247 was casually speedrunning megamind when he found what came to be known as the roxane exploit

I thought it was bimpshnizzle1008, may be wrong tho
Imagine how confused someone would be if they stumbled on this video and had no idea about speedruns or Summoning Salt.
I have absolutely no idea what this video is about.
I had no idea who Summoning Salt was and I wound up just vibing with the video anyway
Like myself?

Good to see you’re still around man, I hadn’t seen any of your comments in a while. I look forward to the day you finally get to 1 million!
"A groundbreaking record that will surely last for the ag-"

Summoning salt has turned that song into a way to instantly give me the chills
What the song doh
@@apolloyeet7110 it’s called “we’re finally landing” by “home”

i would never give a shit about the song if it wasn't for summoning salt, an absolute legend

Copper.
@@MeowHype the copper ball was the old skip, the bronze ball was the new advanced skip they found during the metroman stage
why am i getting summoning salt memes recommended of all things??
That a problem?
I've been asking myself the same thing lately, but I can't complain 😂
@@MrLuigiBean1 it isnt a problem, but its REALLY concerning.
@@Trunks_esp__ yeah, fair enough. it almost seems too convenient XD
I live for Summoning Salt memes

Theres nothing more hype when the music cuts out and the screen goes black and salt says "and then he did this"
ANDREW G!!!
No joke the fact that Summoning Salts' videos are so consistently formulaic and well edited makes them fantastic material for binging when I'm stressed or anxious.
I still can't believe the Death-ray clip worked. A truly dedicated runner through and through.
It was the copper trick that did it by bringing Metro Man into the tower way earlier in the game.
we have gathered here today on this fine day summoned by the almighty algorithm
let us bless this random video with likes and views
Amen!

Here lies me, I claim this area as my final resting place.
When someone beats a 10yr old scott kesler record:
“Megamind set a record that day after all those years he had finally done it”
I have been watching Megamind attempt to get WR for 10+ years and he finally did it after all this time
Summoning Salt videos are just perfect. He always knows when to use HOME for the greatest impact.
"Needless to say, this run was insane"
I was here. This is my final visit. My resting place. I have seen all that needs to be seen. I may finally pass on.
Bro, you good?
@@JimsyFlimsy No bro, he's ascending
Same, except in blue
I don't know why my phone decided to recommend this, but I'm subbing
The song is “we’re finally landing” by home. He makes some great music I’d highly recommend checking him out. He also made resonance
read the description plz
Thanks. For some reason I thought it was a song from minecraft lol.
Thanks
at the time this was the best speedrun anyone has ever done, until... *next song starts* "November 1987" tatsu yoshi pulled this off.
"And then, in 2010, Megamind achieved this run..."
That music makes me feel like I just discovered the meaning of life
I need this song.
@@jameslamberton7671 We're Finally Landing by HOME
This movie went so underrated with despicable me at the same time. A masterpiece.
I think that’s fine, look how warped Despicable Me became due to it’s influence. I’d much rather have this movie be a lowkey masterpiece than another Minions shill.
this movie was also seriously ahead of its time
I like to imagine this is the speedrun of fastest villian to kill the hero.
"It has been speculated for years, but the inputs required were back-to-back frame perfect tricks, and so the community agreed it would never happen. Then, this happened."
As of November 2022 megaminds record still stands
Note: there is in fact a Megamind game that exists. So there are probably Speedrun for it and no I'm not checking
The History Of The Megamind Movie Any% Speedrun
Rise, unknown poster for CZcams has anointed you
This is the most beautiful and nostalgic piece of art i have ever seen. I will remember this in the future as the moment i turned my life around
This is beautiful, he worked so hard for this moment
Absolute art. I've watched this 5 times now.
Had a terrible day, absolutely hectic and miserable. Thank you for this, I get to end the day with a smile
As of January 2021, Megamind still holds the record.
And thats where the record stands
For some reason the algorithm has blessed this video, lol.

They were so fast they finished it while Megaman was still in pre production
He did it, the madlad did it.
Funniest content I ever done had the luck to spit water at my screen watching
This was one year ago..
He respected summoning salt before he blew up
Holy shit he actually did it, my man megamind won by the skin of his teeth and held the word record… 😔✊ respect
Megamind, the greatest speedrunner.

Summoning salt has the most memorable and nostalgic intro ive heard, and ive heard many youtube intros.
Finally Landing 😥
It's true. It's an experience unlike any other
Can’t wait for Abney to get sub-5 in a couple days
Idk why l'm here but l am glad.
Synthwave really hits different. I wish more movies would incorporate it into their soundtracks (and not just Sci fi movies)
You did it. You got recommended.
I really wanted there to be a fan-made 2020 rewind, and have him be the one who narrates the start of it.
And then, he did *THIS*
I love summoning salt
THE ALGORITHM HAS SPOKEN.
i have no idea what i’m watching but the song is called were finally landing by home
As of February 2022, Megamind’s record still stands.
This fits too perfect
I like how Summoning Salt has essentially turned that music into a meme
As of February 2022 Megaminds record still stands
Out standing job mega mind. All that grinding for the perfect score 👌💪
I dont understand this video or its content, but its recommendation to me is still wholly appreciated
"And that is where the record stands today"
what the hell why is this in my recommended but i’m like one of the 27 people here
i don’t even remember this video what is happening
“This is how it happened, this is how the Metroman died.”
This is one of greatest videos of all time. There is nothing I am feeling more right now.
I just got that feeling you get when you're up late and the thing your watching starts to fade out and make less sense, and I'm not sure if it's because it is, in fact, late or if it was an entirely synthesized sensation made by this experience
The music almost sounds like radio ga ga
This scene hits differently with that music clip
I love how it's in 720p just like summoning salt videos
The music came in and I just started laughing so hard thank you for making this it’s awesome
As of February 14 2022, Megamind and Minion still hold the World Record for a Hero Kill any% achievement glitchless.
I want to become a speedrunner specifically so I can say that Megamind is literally me in this scene.
to the untrained eye, all of these things are unrelated.
to the trained eye, its majestic
I feel like summoning salt could be a great VHS box set
This makes me sad and happy
And that’s where the record stands today.
i legit started crying, like, the emotions were just too much holy shit. thanks for that, fucking brilliant.
As of December 2022 this record still stands

He did it!

As of 1st of April 2023 the record stills stands for megamind speedrun
“But after Megamind finally took the record for defeatmetroman%, only two days later someone found a new skip. That being *Warranty Return.”*
This fits perfectly with the song.
This made it to my recommended and I couldn’t be happier
Even now in 2022 at 10:00pm on Dec 21 it still stands
