Unless new strats come out, this is gonna be a hard wr to beat, abney basically got one of the best rng ever, and the only mistakes that we're major was the lightning striked that hit him and the banana he slipped on in banshee, everything else was just depended on rng/shroom usage
@@isuck6049I mean there was probably at least 20 seconds worth of improvement if given that RNG though tbf. (Had blue shell on royal raceway, probably about 10 seconds worth of save on banshee, bowsers castle, and warios stadium). Somewhat slow Luigi's raceway among other things. The run is definitely beatable, but you only get that level of RNG maybe 1%.
@@skip3508 i mean there is also another way, but yeah I do think that this is possible to be beaten with just normal strats we see today and no yolo valley + weathertenko...
I’m not a Mario Kart 64 speedrunning expert, but it seems like this might be the last “sub X minutes” milestone, maybe forever. I just don’t see how you save 59 seconds off of this run, unless other major skips are discovered. Even then, it’d be very hard to save that much time. EDIT: I guess the “best possible time” of 21:14 as shown at the start of the video kinda proves me wrong. Pretty wild to think that even without new tech, there’s still 1:45 that could come off of this run!
To summarize abney's skips wr history, he basically had the sub 28, 27, 26, 25, 24 and now sub 23 speedrun world record in the game for a span of 8 years, he truly has one of, if not the greatest mario kart 64 legacy for sure
@@isuck6049ignore the idiot that took time out of their day to say “Cool? Lol” on a speed running video where the first sub 23 was set. I highly doubt they randomly found themselves on the video. Clearly Abney is just ‘Summoning Salt’ from them and they will need to get over it 😉😂. Long live Abney!!! He is the GOAT!!!
When you got the royal raceway rng I was so hyped, my heart was racing. I have never been this hyped about a video game speedrun before. Thanks to summoning salt damnit
Bruh this is the craziest gaming battle between the best I've ever seen. As an athlete for years, this I consider an art and sport. Abney and Kazuya it's been a pleasure watching you guys keep grinding the record. Don't let it die!
Recently I watched Summoning Salt’s fantastic UA-cam doc regarding Abney and his dominance in MK64 150cc skips and am stunned to see this time after all the attempts. WR just destroyed and a sub 23 minute run. What’s sickening is, there were small RNG factors that means it could go lower.
What's funny is that the run with the god RNG came after a good 10+ minutes of resetting on Luigi Raceway because the game wouldn't give him shrooms (1/4 chance)
Congrats man. I always admire your patience and cool during a run that can be so unforgiving. Can't imagine the pressure when you got to rainbow road. Well deserved WR
"its pretty hard to improve, unless you do some really risky stuff." I think thats where this record will go next, with the risky stuff being the driving force behind getting WRs.
I mean… damn. Congrats, man. Been watching a ton recently and really felt like you were genuinely on the cusp. Absolutely crazy how good this was. Category may not be dead, but feels damn near close. Hell of a run
Its close unless kazuya uses weathertenko plus yolo valley, not to mention abney is probably gonna have a harder time beating this if he we're to attempt the 2 strats considering he's trying to play the game at mirror mode and gonna get the wr there too
Mario Kart 64 Skips is like playing a slot machine and hoping that every roll is a winner. The moment you get a bad roll (e.g. too many stars on RR), it's over. Honestly, makes me glad that No-Skip runs don't rely as much on items.
My first stream watching Abney (got raided to there) and I see this happen. One of the luckiest days of my life. Abney is certifiably the king of 150cc All Cups Skips.
Fun fact: about 2 years ago I calculated that getting a run under 23 minutes would pretty much require tying all of the single cup records in one insane run. Well, fast forward a couple years and now we have that insane run. Once again, congrats on the LARGE wr Beck!
He actually got the flower cup wr although it's not sub 4 mins though, and now he's tryna get the extra mode/mirror mode 100cc all cups wr too Edit: it's actually 100cc not 150cc
It's crazy seeing reset after reset often just because one track refuses to give you the right items and then to watch this where the luck was good/great on every track in a row 0_0
Literally was just watching Summoning Salt's video of the World Record Progress for Mario Kart, and this wasn't included because Abney's new world record is so new! Congrats on recapturing the title 🏆
im imagining the mario movie. kazn is mario, who‘s taking a lot of time to gain strength and there is YOU, Abney as Luigi just gaining Power from NOTHING except for waiting. What a man
Bro took the summoning salt video personally
This was insane to witness live. GL to both Abney and Kazuya! The race continues.

Looks like Abney is back on top again in this category after so long!

This is a certified “Beck Abney Moment.”

@@BearsRule777 that's not even half of what he's done in the game, i'm just stating that he really is that incredible of a player.

Abney does it again. Summoning Salt has some gnarly content for another video. Been rooting for this comeback since it was taken from him 👍👍👍
Fav moment was that trademark smirk at 18:18 when you got triple shrooms. Incredible run, absolutely loved every second of this
It's so funny how Abney keeps calm
I JUST got done watching the summoning salt video, then saw in the comments you had a sub 23. fucking amazing, congrats

Summoning salt needs to update his video to add this. Much better ending.
You can’t update videos on UA-cam sadly
*_A 15 SECOND TIME SAVE..._* Mario Kart 64 is getting extremely optimized at this point.
And he thought that if he was gonna get the wr, he'd only get it by a second 😂
And now he thinks another 15 to 20secs off is in the near future. It's wild.
Unreal run!!! Just finished the SS doc, so glad to see you're back on top!!!!!
18:18 He knew WR was coming with that smirk
Love to see it! I've been tuning in live since the Summoning Salt video but sadly missed this run. Great job!!!
Holy shit, what a ridiculous milestone. Congrats man, your commitment to this game and category is unreal.
I think whats incredible is not only did he complete the game in 22:58, he also won every single race! Those other drivers didnt stand a chance
wats crazy is how fast their times do get
I think I got more emotional about this than Beck
The amount of RNG and skill required to beat this record seems overwhelming. Oh yeah and SummoningSalt brought me here
Came from summoning salt and this was so great to watch after finishing that documentary. Congratulations
The abligitory instant outdating of summoning salts video
Now we need a DK sub 22

I love how this category isn't over yet. Still more to come. Congrats
I got goosebumps when I saw the livestream title. Even more amazed by the sub 23 minute smash. Congratulations Abney you deserve this!!!!!
That docu Summoning Salt made about you is pretty cool, cheers.

God damn what a cut, what an RNG and what a clean run overall! GG or reclaiming the WR and for the sub 23!!
Love you abney. Here after seeing Summoning Salt's video.
That Summoning Salt video needs an update.
My first stream watching Abney (got raided to there) and I see this happen. One of the luckiest days of my life.
Abney is certifiably the king of 150cc All Cups Skips.

Finally, He Got The Record Back! Well Deserved Abney.
The fact that this record has been up for almost a year really shows how well the RNG turned in your favor.
The last minute barrier unless something new gets found!
yolo valley + new strat could do it tbf
So happy for you bro you are the master of this category for the past decade glad you have your record back
Great job, Abney!! So happy I got to see this live!
Actually crazy abney, gg on the first sub 23!
It wasn't that long ago that 25:49 seemed unbeatable.
You're an absolute legend bro! Congrats on the amazing run! Super impressive, this will go down in history ❤
It was fun watching it live. Chat got hyped. You beat the record by an insane amount. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
He actually got the flower cup wr although it's not sub 4 mins though, and now he's tryna get the extra mode/mirror mode 100cc all cups wr too
Edit: it's actually 100cc not 150cc
And he fucking got the mirror mode record after only 9 days wtf
Sub 23:00: *summoning salt misic intensifies*
Congrats good sir. That was really fun to watch. May you have many good runs in the future
GGs man, absolutely wild. Poor Kazuya!
Abney is less than 2 and a half minutes to beat the current TAS. Impressive.
Comgrats to Wario for second place in that last Grand Prix.
Edit: and also to Abney for the world record.
He's back on top! woo!
It's crazy seeing reset after reset often just because one track refuses to give you the right items and then to watch this where the luck was good/great on every track in a row 0_0

The best thing about these runs is that we have the credits music to close it out
White boy of the year Beck Abney with another big win for all Americans
first MK64 record I've seen live, it was insane
salt better get on this
Holy moly, massive cut there to even get that insane sub-23 run
After watching the summoning salt video and feeling gutted for you. watching this was truly incredible! GOAT.
Bro I was just watching the summoning salt video and to check and immediately see you got the sub 23 was so wild 😭
23*
Sub 23!!!! Insane. Congrats!!!
The composure is on another level
Tuned in every day because I KNEW Abney was about to hit the god RNG.
congrats bro 👊 🎉
Yeeeeeeeees!!!! Congrats man!! Kazuya is great but Abney is Abney, so happy to see him back on top.
Abney is back on top! Congrats and GG!
Got the RNG and stayed cool!!! What a run! Congrats!!!!! 😎🔥
I finally get to say congrats on the world rekee for a LARGE skips run, congrats on the world rekee!
We're probably going to have to unban DK in order to beat this.
Amazing run, this category is so much fun, Congrats!
Sub23! Congrats and greetings from Chile! Nice run, bad starting but RNG moments wow it's hard to make it, Thanks Royal Raceway
This speed run makes me want to see a new TAS. There are some skips that the TAS haven’t done that you did. Awesome run!
I had to go do something half way through the run and missed the ending! GOOOOOD stuff Abney! First to Sub 23 LESSSSGO! Legend
congrats abney, beautiful run! The future of this category is gonna be interesting
GOAT , time to get the sherbert land skip down
Abney back to destroying the record 💀 please never stop abney
I watched you when you were doing Weathertenkos
I found you again because of summoningsalt
Well done and GG
Congrats! Abney takes the crown! 👑
Dude you are an absolute legend congratulations
Wowza! I did not expect this to happen but I’m glad it did! GG and let the race continue!
It was insane witnessing a world record live for the first time. Hopefully I get to see more! Ggs dude.
