I’ve been waiting to make this video for the last 7 years. The time has finally come. It truly means a lot to be able to tell this story. Hope you all enjoy!
Not to take anything away from speedrunning. But hearing names like Zallard1 being spoken in reverant tones and their ability to push a button at the correct time as if they've climbed a mountain or something… This will always be deeply funny to me.
Again, not even hating – just find it a bit amusing. These are well constructed videos and the earnestness of the production just gets me.
When I watched this video, I didn’t read any of the comments and when the name “Matt Turk” was called out in the beginning, I freaked out because my name is so close to it lol.
As someone who just discovered your channel, has only watched your Tetris video and now this video, and doesn't follow the speedrunning community. The absolute shocker of a twist when you announced yourself as the speedrunning contender blew my mind.
I just started trying to speedrun the tyson fight. I just don’t get when you are supposed to punch him for the frame perfect on the uppercuts in the first and second round. I try to use his dazed face as a visual cue, and hit right when i see that, but that doesn’t seem to be right, i try hesitating very slightly after i see the cue, and that’s not it. I’ve tried watching wrs of the fight and it looks like i’m doing it at the right time, but the best first kd i have gotten (in 100s of attempts) is 1:03 – but most of my attempts don’t even get a kd until the hooks start coming.
I totally understand when to hit during the hooks phase, and have actually gotten 4 in a row (which felt amazing lol)
Am i missing something with the uppercuts? Please HELP
As a person who really likes documentaries, this documentary went from the most interesting to one of the best documentaries in my life to watch because it went from a third person of looking others to straight up becoming a first person documentary without himself glazing himself a lot of times he was just showing that he was the number one and I love that it was awesome. I really enjoyed this documentary.
Mr. Sandman, 2:20… Yes, you can beat him in round 1 if you get all your hits in and make no mistakes. I'm not sure whether I ever beat Mike Tyson in less than 2 rounds.
Watching this a second time is hilarious, listening to him talk about how he isn’t sure how much he could improve on his 15:42 knowing he's taken almost an entire minute off.
King hippos blocks can be reset by letting him throw a single punch. Then u can get back to open jaw shots, and body shot him to death. Its not faster than a perfect RNG but its much less than 8 seconds.
Sinister is really a tool. Thought that from early on with the whole "come back when you…." stuff in the early years of this run's development. And then when you got the 15:12, he couldn't even blink without being sure to first point out how lucky you got. Sure everyone deeply involved in the MTPO community knew that, but regardless, you simply say "omg great job man" as an initial congrats instead. Comes off like a really fragile little boy (who, to this day, probably can't handle how you and Zallard ended up simply being better players)
Summoning Salt made one of the longest and most popular speedrunning videos in YouTube history, and proceeds to beat the world record of the same game. Goddamn LEGEND🏆🙏

“This runner… was me”
Up there with “I am Iron Man” levels of iconic 😭
This is watch No.6 for me
1:04:08
1:06:10
I rewatch this video for 1:06:10

The only way to make this more hype is in five years releasing a " the quest to beat summoning salt" video

Bro really built a speedrunning channel to eventually talk about himself, mad respect
UPDATE: Summoning Salt just nabbed the first sub 2:00!
was this video before the Summoning Salt is Matt Turk reveal?
Matt turk is so good, he doesn't even need proof, he IS the proof
2:20 skip sponsor

16:21 Dude went “ok fine 🙄” and came back 90 minutes later

18:22
2:09:30 "One punch at a time. Let's go."
1:05:00 EPIC plot twist #iloveyou
Having two WR commenting and cheering on you was so heartfelt. 😢 😭 it made me happy
1:06:10 is when he says “That runner was me”
mfs grind rng simulators and call it speedrunning
on his 15:12.14 he could’ve gotten a sub 15 with a 2:14 tyson fight 🔥

I had to turn the video off when you started talking about the unbelievable pressure when it pertains to playing Mike Tyson. What a joke.
King hippos blocks can be reset by letting him throw a single punch. Then u can get back to open jaw shots, and body shot him to death. Its not faster than a perfect RNG but its much less than 8 seconds.
Sandman and Tyson were definitely the 2 hardest fights in this game. All the others had very simple mechanics.
with perfect rng you can get to sub 14
Dude i thought it was 4.00 cus another video was covering it
The sad part about your videos is that u enter in comments and get spoiled, but nice video btw

Congratulations on the new record. Shit is legendary.
Funkmeister is coming to get a part 2 on this vid
Who’s here after his sub 2 min Tyson
I haven't finished the video but find it funny that the guys name is M. Turk, when the Mechanical Turk was a fraud… And all the comparing to TAS…
Summoning Legend
mid <3

WR AGAIN? Congrats man, congrats really
Summoning Salt made one of the longest and most popular speedrunning videos in YouTube history, and proceeds to beat the world record of the same game. Goddamn LEGEND🏆🙏
