My favorite part of a Summoning Salt video is when the “theoretical limit” has been achieved and there’re still 16 minutes left in the video.

"He beat Andrewg's time by eight seconds..."
that's cool"
"...Without glitches."

"Typically, veggies can't be carried from room to room. However, since it was stuck in his head, this didn't apply."

[tommykarrick]

My favorite part of all of these videos is always the inevitable part where the speedrunners decide to cast off twin galaxies and see what’s possible with glitches

[ohno]

You'd think people would be able to tell when they're about to get a world record because of that synth that kicks in

[stannardg]

My face when Matt Turk wasn’t the answer to almost every question.

[SwiddyDiddy]

Anytime he says “too precise and impossible for humans”

*AndrewG has entered the chat*

Imagine having your glitched world record speedrun demolished by someone's glitch-free one.

*Absolute destruction.*

"How does it work?"
"You do level 7-1, but fast"
"Why don't you call it 'fast 7-1'"

"Even 13th in the coveted Pringles All-A's% on Sega Genesis"

*WHAT*

COOLKID and ILuvMario sound less like names for world record holding speedrunners and more like 7 year olds picking their first gamertags.

I love video game terminology. You'll never hear someone just say: "Yeah, I was going for an early vegetable cycle, but missed it, so my Wart was slower."

[jakemiller]

“As you can probably tell from Coolkid’s wild reaction..”

Killed me

[AndrewJ]

2 things are guaranteed in life: death and small birdo optimizations.

[FixdalOK]

The way Summoning Salt narrates this makes me feel like these records are events of global significance that should be discussed by world leaders at the UN and warrant special breaking news broadcasts on TV.

[Poillip]

"He got on THIS run" has become one of the most anxiety-inducing sentences in my life

[Pixelcraftian]

*AndrewG?*
_"AndrewG"_
*Woah*
