[SummoningSalt]

Check out the runners who helped make this video possible!

[Kosmicd]

Idk I'm still not convinced that 8-4 can be improved

[daddyswaggums]

My favorite part about summoning salt is how he’ll be talking about how someone made an extremely important discovery and then their name is something like “420_blazit” or something.

[dukem]

When I hear "impossible" "too precise" or "too difficult for a human" in the speedrunning community I end up translating it to "give us a bit we'll figure it out"

[tommykarrick]

I think my favorite progression in these stories is always the slow transition from “impossible for humans to achieve” to “regarded as impossible for humans” to “being attempted by top runners” to “it was finally achieved by”

[wailmoregd]

“Say the line, Salt”
“Imagine a bus”
**Applause**

[DBGk]

If there's no bus reference I'm going to be extremely disappointed....

*Update*
I was far from disappointed

[BenGaming]

Update: Lekukie and Niftski have achieved a frame-perfect 8-4, meaning that humans have finally reached perfection in Super Mario Bros.!

[RikiJasmin]

Just imagine the pain Mario's balls go through with every flagpole glitch

[stormbornapostle]

We're at the point where speedrunners are gonna start playing during solar storms in hopes of having a beneficial bit flip.

[dogderboi]

I laughed a lot when he said “he actually had 1 frame of wiggle room” like woah mans could’ve took a vacation in that

[ExpletoryPenguin]

I admire this man's ability to turn 2.75 seconds into the 45 minute long hero's journey that it is

[aidanf]

For anyone late to this video like me, 8-4 was run perfectly by two runners over a year and a half ago. The wr as of 4 days ago was tied with the TAS up until 8-4. Humans are 22 frames away from Any% perfection.

[Zaikkano]

"He was more than a tenth of a second ahead of anybody else on the leaderboard, pure domination." Jesus Christ, we're in too deep

[tree_]

Over a year, thousands of hours, pain, triumph, happiness, depression. Months and months of work. All to get 3 seconds of screentime in a summoning salt video... my life is complete.

[jeffwright]

Update for all wondering: the perfect run for the last level has been achieved

[MeesterTweester]

Niftski has tied the Any% TAS into 8-4 in his WR today!

[pairot]

"He actually had a frame of wiggle room", now that's a ridiculous sentence.

[skyblade]

Summoning Salt: *Tries to find alternatives to the bus analogy.*
Bus analogy: And where did that bring you? Back to me.
