Lets get this back to Trending #1. IT DESERVES IT

[gama_]

This is such a shame that this documentary got age restricted so i will watch this without skipping any parts of this master piece. Summoning Salt is a legend keep it up man!

[appointmenteer]

i cannot overstate how amazing this storytelling is. the chase for the record bit with cypher felt like a legit documentary, it felt like the most important moment in history, and it was all about one person playing a game 15 seconds faster. well done. this is a masterpiece

[bigsluryt]

it's crazy how whenever youtube gets a creator who makes genuinely amazing, high effort, and consistent content with something for everyone they treat them like garbage while allowing actual dangerous and obscene content fly every day

[FoxyMoxyValo]

Salt you set the standard for high quality video game content, and this is your best documentary yet. It needs to get on trending again so more people can see it!

[speakingofpaz]

So glad you could cover one of the most iconic games of all time! Here to give this video the boost it deserves!

"You cant keep Cyghfer from Rock Man 2." And on this very day... Cyghfer achieves the top spot. 26:32.4, a new world record!! CONGRATS CYGHFER!!!

Your work is valued, even if YouTube doesn't quite realize it. You have a gift in storytelling as a documentarian.

[benjaminshields]

I love how these videos are all a masterclass in not only documentation and research, but storytelling.

[GingerBreadSed]

The way you can make someone who's never even played megaman to care so much about the record that I cheered loudly when cyghfer finally got it is truly a testament to your talent! Sorry you had to reupload this!

[IsaacFoster..]

I don't personally know cyghper, but, watching him work so hard to get beaten in such a short time almost made me cry. Despite that, he didn't give up, he tried again and again. Everytime we thought he was gone, he came back. When we thought the record couldn't be beaten, he proved us wrong. I'm sure his determination has and will continue to inspire many people. What a legend.

I’m in awe of the sheer effort goes into every one of these videos. Nobody makes long-form videos like this quite like you

[EboRL]

It’s incredibly upsetting it had to come to this. With all the recent events, YouTube needs to be more clear with their rules. Absolutely ridiculous. Keep up the good work Summoning Salt, we will always support you!

[KuzcosPoison]

I love the ending describing the whereabouts of the speedrunners. It really tied the whole thing together with affirmation for what could be coming in a future, as well as providing a bondful feel for the speedrunners and not just looking at them as a name achieving a number. I look forward to more like this, and hopefully next time the video gets its well deserved praise.

[henotic.essence]

Cyghfer's tenacity is incredibly admirable. I couldn't imagine being in his shoes and pursuing the record, that's so intense! What a crazy race to the top with coolkid, what a show!!

[TKNinja]

I hope that what can only be called a "travesty of a need" to reupload this will prove to make this video, and you, more popular, Salt. The History of World Records series is the only one on YouTube that consistently makes me stop what I'm doing to watch it instead.

You give so much more than we could ask for, and deserve far better than you've received.

[Miss-Alexis]

Cyghfer truly does feel like a speedrunning hero. Whether or not he ever pulls off his perfect run, he's still going to be immortalized as a legend of Mega Man 2

[drexsd]

Making sure I do my part to push this one on the algorithm. So sorry this situation happened to you salt, of all the creators on this platform why you were targeted I don’t understand. Don’t let this hiccup knock you down, you never stop improving and I always look forward to your next uploads :)

[Grak]

Beating a record you’ve been attempting for months, on the absolute last run, on a competition stream. Legend.
