as someone who's never had a chance to play DK64, you explained its mechanics beautifully and i think this is one of your most accessible videos yet, fantastic job!
imagine you’re just chilling one day after making a world record a couple days ago, you look at the chart to see if anyone is catching up and someone beat your record by 3 hours
"Votava, he beat your record by one minute.. *sips coffee* "Hm, not bad. Tell him congrats on the run." "..and 4 hours." *spits out coffee very intensely and profusely* AND WHAT?
"When speedrunners today look back at that 30 hour estimate, we laugh." because speedrunners spend 30,000 hours playing this game to optimize their run.
Just want to take this chance to say that you're skills as a documentarian are something special. Creating an emotional, engrossing narrative out of factual information is something many pros never nail down. Keep doing what you're doing, you've got something special going here
There's a cut you can do at the start to skip the intro sequence so you can save ~36 seconds. Combined with clicking off the video while the Patreons pop up on the screen, you can save ~1:18.
That's insane. Absolutely no progress on the game for three years, then, within a five-day period, the game gets turned on its head. Thank you for sharing this in such an enjoyable form.
I just don't get it. I'm not a big fan of speedruns (except for wacky TASes like Megaman X+X2 single controller) even though I know all the games, but I'm binging through your vids for the whole day. You're... Phenomenally good at what you're doing and I have zero idea why. It's just so appealing to watch. And your music choices are extremely great, thanks for compiling music lists for each episode. Subbed!
ThyVile it’s explained in such a way that even if someone has never played the game.. they are able to get into what happens next. His documentary style is quite universal
Yeah, I don't do speedruns either, but I find these videos fascinating. I think it is a subliminal interest in watching childhood nostalgia. These speed run videos are like 20 minute redux of my favorite games plus reading a cheat-code magazines. I loved reading those cheat-code books as a kid lol
Dandylionheartedness it’s more to do with this guys talent of knowing the right way to make a documentary. His voice is great for narrating and he shows the progression in a simple and slow pace
"he thought twitch would save his footage, but was taken down" and this is why I use the highlight system to basically make a copy of my orignal footage by slightly trimming the beginning and ending while renaming it. That way it isn't tied to the 30-day limit the regular footage is normally deleted afterwards
Just became a patron and probably a bit overdue. Your WR progression vids bring me so much joy- even when I have no connection with the game. They are so well done, so well researched and I can't wait to see what's next. I can tell this video took a long time to make, not to mention the research that goes into it. Seriously, keep it up. You have a gift and you're so good at this. Don't be fooled by off label 'WR Progression' vids- SummoningSalt is the master of the WR Progression vids.
hey summoningsalt is pretty good but I've watched some pretty damn good "offbrands" before. just take the super mario sunshine wr progression by averagetrey for example.
For anyone curious, it stands as 24m30s today! It's been 7 months since that record has been set, and over a year ago a 24m50s run was done. The record showed in the video is in 3rd place so far.
I know how complicated the history of this game is and seeing it explained so well was awesome to watch. So many names I haven't seen in years lol. Awesome job!
Casual gamers: I just clipped through a wall, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else Speedrunners: I just clipped through a wall, I hope this happens to EVERYONE
Well, that's because half the time glitches are found to lower times or more official calculations (such as Zelda with drop tables). Also, the rest of the time is them thinking their run is the best possible. It's called ego, ignorance, and lack of foresight. Welcome to the human race. ;)
Just binged all of your videos, I absolutely love the dedication that is apparent in them. I can see you used to speedrun Tyson's Punch Out before stumbling on this niche and I'm curious, do you enjoy creating the videos as much as you do speedrunning? Surely it's more lucrative. Anyway, keep up the good work.
My favorite little thing in your videos is when you say they "got to the final boss at world record pace" and then show the last bit of the run. Always gets me in the mindset of someone watching not knowing what's going to happen.
These videos are so fucking good. I know these comments are broken records, but the effort and execution are beautiful. Your voice and the way you explain the game and the runs are both just perfect.
God damn I love this channel My first run of DK64 took me 7 years to beat, pretty sure that's world record Not sure what it's a world record for but it's a record for something
I literally subscribed to notifications for this channel last night because i was thinking, “Hmm, it’s been a while since summoning salt uploaded a video”
I always find DK 64 hilarious. I remember thinking how solid it felt as a kid and like the most out-there thing you could do was use Lanky to clip through Banana Signs. Oh, how I was wrong.
I find it amazing when small groups of people gather together. Humans have done this for millennia. You can tackle a challenge that is generally assumed to be worthless if you can gather together a few people. If you have a group of people genuinely encouraging each other there’s not much that can’t be done!
Fun. It's an oficial emulator though. Usually emulators are banned if they're not legitimate to the company. Anyways, its always the runner's decisions. SM64 has It Split, this doesnt
The community (Consisting of both VC & N64 runners) has decided several times to not split the leaderboards. Whilst no lag does give VC a severe advantage, and makes a meh VC time look better than a great N64 time, we still class it as the same game. There is also a filter function on SRC anyway which allows you to see the N64 leaderboard or the VC leaderboard for a certain category. Most N64 runners look at that for goals and where they are.
You're basically just restating the fact that they made the decision (which goes without saying), and then not elaborating. Personally, as someone not in that community, it seems like a dumb choice.
@@tails512 not sure what you mean by not elaborating. We have had several community votes and the result has always been the same. If you want the reason then you should ask the people who voted not to split.
The name RingRush sounds familiar. It might be the same RingRush that's screwing around with Shadow the Hedgehog strats now. If it is him, I never knew he ran DK64 at one point. Shoutouts to RingRush for finding a bunch of No A Press stuff for Shadow the Hedgehog, and apparently running DK64 as well.
You should do a Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door one. There have been several people vying for the record over the years and a ton of amazing tricks have been found that make the run really interesting to talk about.
The Luigineer I love that game so much. Never looked into speedrunning it, but I did a peril Mario build on my last run and it was incredible. Shadow Queen was over in the minimum turns thanks to multibounces hitting for 12 damage per jump. I love any game that has mechanics that can be relentlessly abused
@@PokeMario-pk4ot PM64 would be great too (although don't underestimate how crazy TTYD's glitch hunting has been), and besides, it seems like Malleo is getting around to the TTYD ones

Put a beaver RIGHT between you and the hole, then bark at it and proceed to pray it clips through that god forsaken invisible wall. Seriously though, it actually looks like a glitch when you succeed.

This record seemed unbeatable. Then players figured out if you pick this character, punch the air while standing on this pixel, then jump and kick the wall exactly 8 frames later, you can get a frame perfect skip at this location.

I think he should do 2 episodes, like he did for sm64. 1 for any%, and 1 for 100% and all dungeons
Nickzurt agreed
Wake Dont forget the gender controversies, I can see the heated debates in the comment section already 🔥🔥🔥
Incredibly this record has only dropped to a 24:30 as of sept 29th, 2022 by sigmakong
I love the synthwave in the background but the Perfect Dark pieces every now and then are also a real treat :D
This is crazy! I’ve been watching all these speed runs thinking “who figures out the glitches? Who has the time?” Liked and subscribed
"It's-a me, Stalin"
"Dark humor is like food, not everyone gets it"
Dark humor is like kids with Cancer: never gets old.
Jason Berg Well jokes on you, the Avengers visited me last week so who’s laughing now?
@@AVerySexuallyDeviantOrange Not funny.
Signakong brought it down 8 seconds on 9/11 of this year. Just thought y’all would want to know the record did indeed go a bit lower.
He really drove a plane into both of the previous world records.
OOOOOOOHHH BOY-
Update: Signakong has brought it down to 24:30. That run was done November 2020
We really need a majoras mask ocarina duo vid!!!!
It's so weird going back to your old videos and not hearing the iconic theme song.
I used to be completely uninterested in glitched speedruns. After watching the way progression works on them I can see the appeal.
Is it just me or is every game one of the best games of all time?
No, it isn't just you.
It's also your mom. Hope that helps.
If anybody was curious The updated wr today is by signakong at 24:30
SO THEY’RE FINALLY HERE

Justdust Pvper you know him well
I don’t like speedrunning but I love your documentaries on speedrunning and I don’t know why. Thank you and keep them coming!
This video has been here for 3 years and I still enjoy watching it
0:36 DESCENT 1 MUSIC BOOOIIIII (also several other tracks throughout the vid
I recognized it immediately! :) One of my favorite 90s games
Are you aware of the spiritual successor, Overload?
You sir, get a like for the Descent catch.
I think they like Descent. 1:58 should be a track of Descent
Glad to know I wasn't the only one to catch it. Oldschool dos love.
Can you do "World Record Progression: Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)" soon or in the later future?
I know this is a late reply but it has really changed in the past 2 years.. mostly in the past few months.
@@jonahheisler4765 Even more true for Ocarina. That record got halved in the course of a few months recently
@@soni-switch5207 Yeah ZFG has had a field day
Also, I wonder if summoningsalt will ever remake an updated oot video.
2027: beating the game without getting all the characters
2027: No items, Donkey Kong only, Final Destination.
2030 beat the game without turning it on.
2050: beat the game by playing a different game
2100: Beating The Game By Smacking Your Console With A Sledgehammer
20XX: beating the game without having it
I was never this interested into speed runs until I found your channel, these are awesome 👌
Thanks for helping me sleep, man. You have no idea how much I appreciate your videos. Please post more.
Paper Mario 64 and TTYD please... Both have lots of content to work with.
Say no more:

That perfect dark music.... is perfect!
“Welcome to trick three: skipping the colored bananas” made me laugh so hard
Respect to all the work you put into making these. Explaining the game before hand etc.
And this right here is why I love DK64 speedruns the most. A game where walls literally stopped existing.
20 days ago the record is now low 24 minute. it’s insane.
3:19 kinda reminds me of pretty patties. remember, Spongebob? hello?
Never gets old to listen to this
Summoning Salt has some of the best formatted video essay style videos on UA-cam
This record seemed unbeatable. Then players figured out if you pick this character, punch the air while standing on this pixel, then jump and kick the wall exactly 8 frames later, you can get a frame perfect skip at this location.
I made that up but it’s always something like that. Speed runners are insane lol
