My alternate plan for this video was an interview with Matt Turk. Ended up deciding on this instead though.
Maybe we'll have to do that at 2 million...
go
OMG yes please
That would be so good!
Yes please
That would be a good follow up to that story.
Summoning Salt Explained
summoning salt youtube ultra shortcut history
Yeah, couldn’t have said it better myself!
You better do a video on the properties of bismuth when you reach 1mil.
@bismuth, you deserve a million too. love your stuff.
omfg lol
“Imagine a bus that arrives every 21 frames”
Imagine dropping video this than being gone for two months. Oh wait, that happened, and I’m sad. But I bet the next video will be legendary
Imagine that's originally Darbian's line, so give a credit where it belongs.

🤣😂
"The Quest to Beat Matt Turk" is one of the best youtube masterpieces. You deserve many more than 1M subs
It can easily been used as a documentary example in film school imo
The humblebrag at the end is the best part
probably watched that video 50 times >.< i totally agree: masterpiece!
One of my favs vids in youtube
I think I rewatched that video 5 or 6 times by now. Fucking masterpiece
congrats on 1M!
Ay, look who it is!
Didn't expect to see you here but yeah he absolutely deserves it
A
You're not too shabby, either!
Summoning Salt is clearly a master of the gaming subfaction of humans.
And then, Summoning Salt did THIS.
i said that to myself almost first thing lmao
0:21 "I thought about just making a generic 'thank you video' to celebrate, but I think we can do better"
That's exactly the mindset that brought you here, my man. Congrats!
The extra bit better is what makes this youtuber truly special
Exactly, this guy is something else. The quality we recieve is crazy to get free on youtube
I just so happened to be reading this comment as he got to that part of the video, freakin trippy man
You know you’ve made it on UA-cam when the Internet Historian parodies you in one of his videos, you earned every subscriber keep it up man
Which video was it?
His side channel Incognito mode, one of the in the field videos.
Which one?
@@vst6727 its just during an ad segmant, he speed runs losing a sponser
Is this the World Record Progression of World Record Progressions?
Wait until some one else beats his time by three seconds after 2 hours of uploading
Or one
Yes.
This is the meta
that made me laugh for some reason and i love it
the way you can make me understand and care about a game I had no knowledge of and a community I was completely unaware of is unmatched, love your stuff
So true-Summoning Salt is awesome!!!
that's quite a compliment from the pineapple himself!
Iron Pineapple sighted! Always neat to see an unrelated channel you follow in the comments lol.
Ah Pineapple, I see you are a man of culture as well
I'm not a speedrunner. I've never been a speedrunner. I'll never be a speedrunner. I've never even sat down to really watch a speedrun, or streamer, or anything like that. But your videos are amazing dude.
They're so captivating, the amount of details and research is stunning. I can't wait to see what your next video is on. And btw, I definitely think the quality of the videos outweighs the amount of time it takes to make them. Fantastic work, keep it up!
This was basically the same for me. I wasn't really into speedrunning all that much before but after watching Salt for a while, I became very interested.
Great video!! You can be proud of this milestone and of your channel :D It's amazing
He really deserved it, I can't wait for him to get 2M.
Ojo! shadoune me gustaria vere reacionar a uno de sus videos en stream
“But then a new glitch was discovered that still has largely been ignored by the UA-cam community: if you make actually good videos, your subscriber count will increase. This is the history of the UA-cam ultra shortcut.”
Imagine salt and spiffing brit making a video doc on how to speedrun UA-cam
He's nutty, he made good content when no one else was!
@@ajbroaj2881 "we all know UA-cam is a perfectly balanced speedrun with no exploits, but does anyone really know HOW those exploits came to be? THIS is their story"
*cue music*
"1 Million subscribers is where it stands today. But as history has showed us, it won't be long until that number seems small in comparison."
i... this... this is just the best comment ever made, ever.
Absolutely :D
You deserve every bit of success that you get. My wife, who is not a gamer, has watched full videos from you because your commentary, build up, and overall explanations. You can seriously keep an audience captivated. Congratulations!
“Possibly take this beyond UA-cam.” Netflix docuseries confirmed?
100% deserved, your content in insane man!
I know
Hey good to see you here
Ē
in insane man
I did not know you knew him
Easily one of my favorite channels. Congrats. :) Love to see it
Senpai
Kinda wholesome I'm seeing a lot of another decently big UA-camrs saying congratulations
Agreed
yessir
Oh shii waddup
11:14 Legit not even exaggerating your videos have been singlehandedly curing my insomnia. I've struggled so much with falling asleep but listening to them while I'm in bed is the most relaxing yet not boring enough for me to start overthinking at night. It's perfect and I'm so thankful for them.
I really never had a huge interest in speedruns until I started watching your videos. I love your content and your ability to tell stories. Truly one of my favorite content creators on UA-cam.
He hovered around 900k, and everyone thought it was unbeatable, but then, in 2021, everything changed when this happened...
*we're finally landing beat drops*
Congrats man! Love your videos.
You won’t jj
Big man was here
My two favorite UA-camrs😤
Yooo JMoney, glad to see you supporting great content
Stal
As a child of the 80s and 90s, the NES, SNES, and Genesis are near and dear to my heart. At 40 years old today, I thought I would only get to enjoy the content of the old consoles by looking in the rearview mirror of my memory. But then I found the Summoning Salt channel and discovered that the old consoles still have high entertainment value and that amazing new tricks are still being discovered to this day. Thank you, Summoning Salt, for compiling such wonderful research and the achievements of the speed running community. And the song We're Finally Landing always manages to make me emotional. You always play it just the right moment in your videos. *Subscribed
Being in my mid-40s, I grew up playing a lot of these games. Glad I stumbled on your channel while looking up speedruns. It's fun watching the speedrunning community absolutely dismantle games that defined my childhood lol
"Could I get it down to 20 minutes?"
Even talking about his own editing he sounds like he's talking about speedrunning.
I'm very lucky to have been involved with one of your earliest projects, so I could enjoy the videos from the get go! I'm glad they reach so many people now, so all those people can enjoy them too. And I love that so many different communities and stories can be highlighted!
The legend himself.
idk what to comment
Hi kosmic!
Well said, so glad I found speedrunning :D
@@drodrig1 then don't comment?
The Quest to Beat Matt Turk was a moment of ascension for this channel. Watching what you have done here has been impressive, to say the least. Looking forward to the next million!
Even his milestone video feels like the documentary of a lifetime. Congrats on 1 mil!
Imagine a bus that leaves every 1 million subscribers...
under-rated, I laughed out loud.
legit lol for that one
HAHAHHAHA i love this omgg
Brilliant lol 😂 spot on!
LOL!!
Congratulations Salt! Amazing work
heyyyy mark, so cool to see youtubers simping for each other
Many people ask me how to get ahead on UA-cam and I always suggest looking for a fresh perspective on covering games. I often use your channel as an example of this done amazingly well.
Glad you got up there too GMTK! the quality of your content is insane
Hey GMTK, glad to see you here! I love your content.
When Jon Bois gives you a shoutout, you've made it
Some nonamer no-one knows.
Mollow Gohnson someone only nonamers dont know
I'd love to see you make a video dedicated to the history of speedrunning itself. You've alluded to it in a few of your prior videos, but I'm interested to learn how these communities developed. For example, did recorded speedruns exist in the 20th century, is it only a 21st-century phenomenon? When did the old No Glitch Rule fall away in favor of Any % for world records?
Been watching for quite awhile, your music choices and in depth research really make your videos shine. congrats on 1M and many more to come!
I agree
Agreed
He is so good I have been watching since about 100k
I hope you hit 1 million too
Agreed!
There's nothing more rewarding than finding your niche and making a living out of what you love. Congratulations!
Hey, it's Theme Park Crazy! I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff!
Love your channel Theme Park Crazy! Ever play gameboy on a roller coaster?
The fact that your comment on choco mountain was in this video caught me off guard! Do you speedrun anything or just enjoy watching them?
This is eerily similar to a comment featured in the video...
Surprised to find you here
Every time i feel the myself losing that "in the zone" feeling while speedrunning, i always end up back here watching the amazing history you have bestowed upon us. It just motivates even more to keep going, all that time will pay off. Someday. Thank you, for everything.
No joke, this is one of the highest quality channels out there, the fact that you are only now hitting 1M when every video pulls in way more views than that is criminal, you deserve way more
The Evolution of Summoning Salt is a beautiful wonder to behold.
Here's to hoping the speedrun to the next million will be exponentially faster.
One day a video will be published set to We're Finally Landing explaining where Summoning Salt came from. This is Book 1, SM 1, once the Messiah will bless us we will learn more.
Congrats! absolutely well deserved
And to celebrate, I will punch out my wall.

@@Slothery to celebrate, I put of picture of someone punching a wall onto my wall
Hey youre that guy who does those things in mario or luigi whatever that game is
Are you hoping to get in a video of him someday? with all of your world records. ;)
Salt , your videos are something I regularly check back with . Your voice is so soothing that I can sleep peacefully while playing your video . Whenever I have nothing to watch , I come back to watch these and relive these videos
Idk why, but I’m always crying tears of Joy at the end of his videos, he’s just so good at portraying that feeling of triumph from the Speedrunning community. It’s honestly inspiring
One of the best gaming channels in UA-cam history.
Nice to see you here
I need to give more likes to this comment

Yoo wspp
Seeing your channel is so nostalgic I used to watch your diep videos all the time
Before we talk about how the UA-cam success story happened, we need to explain “the bus”
I died reading this
Gotta explain it every 21 frames
“He got one subscriber every framerule... and over time, that adds up.”
I request the bus explanation to be investigated in details!
The intro and outro style where it sync's with the music is basically how I do my entire channel. It just feels so nice when "we're finally landing" comes on and everything fits so well.
I’d love to see a summoning salt WR progression as an incentive at GDQ
I don’t even care about any of the games he talks about, the storytelling is just so incredible it tricks me into getting invested
Yessss
ikr lol
That last mario kart one was epic. It's that ONE TIME I was rooting for a German man to dominate the world...
Of Mario Kart.
Same lol
It’s extremely the same energy as super engaging sports documentaries
I gotta say, as a non-native english speaker (Spanish is my main language and I understand about 85% of a video in english), I really enjoy each and everyone of your videos. Excellent research, perfect music and editing. The way you narrate is so relaxing and that's why I enjoy watching almost 1 hour long videos. Keep it on, congrats for 1M!
As a native English speaker, I thoroughly approve of you English skills
Your english is great!
Hola Nigeru :)
The “you English skills” typo is getting me weak
Buenas Nigeru :v
I first randomly encountered you with the infamous 4-2 video, just popping up on my feed. Been a fan ever since
When I watch videos from you, I always get emotional. I don’t know exactly why, but your videos make me feel comfortable and so happy
most deserved 1m subs on youtube
This

@@jeffireymurdock2073 they're both a great channel
How does he have only 1 but stupid ppl who don't even care about their fan base have way more
God, just 30 videos. You're a phenomenon.
Ayee
Ay, didn't expect my man Leadhead here. You and Summoning Salt are like the holy grail of video game essays for me
Insane
Reminds me a bit of Dankpods
I watched all his current content the day I discovered the phenomenon
That song gets me every time man, hands down some of the best content on the platform keep it up
thank you for making these videos, man. you've got such a soothing and understandable way of explaining things, and i tend to come to your channel whenever i get too anxious. i cant think of any channel that deserves success more!
Truly appreciate how much you clearly care about your community Summoning Salt. Happy to be part of this 1 million. :)
me too :D
Ayyye love yo vids too m8
Dang walshy I still get flashbacks of Kampy and people from your channel
Yo is this Walshy from the Halo 3 days?? Good lord what a throwback. I'm off to watch your old matches now.
@@jakel7213 This isn't Walshy (His channel is just "Walshy" and he hasn't uploaded in some time). FBWalshyFTW was a sort of compilation channel to host a lot of Halo Montages, he's also working to restore ones that had their audio changed to avoid copyright issues. He's like a Halo Montage historian.
My man did a WR history about himself.
As soon as I found this channel 2 weeks ago I fell in love, and I've binged every episode chronologically since. Such a perfect concept, and I'm glad the host is so good at what he does as well. It's rare to see someone with that much passion, but a speed run history channel run by someone that actually has an investment in speed running from a player's standpoint is truly special.
Thank you so much for the content man!! i have watched all your vids, i love watching speedruns and the history and i feel that you are able to capture the full essence of what is was like to speedrun these games and the emotional and physical strength it took. way to go man never stop, you are soo good at what u do!!!

Now all you are missing is perfecting the 10M Ultra Shortcut
This was humanly impossible keyword was
Nah, I don't think a record of that size is possible.
Currently the best splits add up to 9,767,249 subscribers in the speedrunning community.
Would be cool though!
@@Jevmin Really?
@@Jevmin well, you are not including the “Among Us Skip”, in which if you correctly done, can gain you a total of 9,978,365. Not only that, but if he does the “Collab Strat” with the correct setup, then maybe 10M is possible
YOOO I ACHIEVED THE UA-cam COMMENT ON THE NONVERIFIED%
your work is incredible, I actually found your channel from the ultra shortcut video and has been a loyal viewer ever since. keep up the good work man.
I've only recently found this channel, watched a couple videos, and I can already tell this is something great. Good job on the 1 Million dude!

Your videos really are therapeutic. I feel so relaxed when I watch them. Thank you for being one of my favorite channels. You deserved the 1mil milestone!
Thank you so much for making these videos. The snyth wave 80's intro and outro music adds the nostalgia of this vids perfectly. Your voice and cadence and the way you explain everything in such detail is amazing too. I wish you more videos, I've watched them all, and many more than once. Keep up the good work!

The true love of gaming , and the detailed deep dive into the games you feature made this channel a winner . Thanx for the great content !
thank you for making them!!!! i've been around since 2018 and your videos have helped me get through some rough patches--queuing one up when i was depressed as a distraction, watching them while i knit, and just generally being able to take comfort from learning a little bit. i love how you add that story element, and i look forward to what you'll make in the future. i'm so glad you've found an audience for these and your channel has gotten so successful. here's to many more years!
well-deserved my man, the work you do is incredible
i know u
I know this guy too... they’re everywhere

I hope to look back at this some day when he's got 2 million subscribers, and just think how different things are then..
Omnicron what are you doing here
Summoning Salt started by covering legends only to become a legend himself.
His analysis of himself and his content in this vid just shows how much he gets it
I love a redo of your old videos. Your commentary and song choices(especially the "Home" song) are so relaxing to listen too. This channel is my nostalgia chocolate.
I freaking love this channel. Every vid on here is magical. They go so fast cause they're all so good. I really hope there's more to come and your well!
This is what UA-cam should be: quality content by single content creators. Not corporate crap. Proud of you Salt!
Agreed.
Sadly big corporations will always end up ruining what we love. Always.
content farms from big streamers that have 3 editors are just as bad
You've become my favorite UA-camr over the last 2.5 years my guy, this milestone is nothing short of deserved.
There isn't much content I look forward to but you're 1 of the 3 people I actually have the bell turned on for.
Exactly the same for me !!!
Mine too and I don't even game that hard.
How’s your wife’s boyfriend?
you know it's funny. This is one of my favorite youtube channels for the stories Salt tells and for the excellent choices of backing music which I'm glad he provides sources. And yet, I don't care about speedruns, speedrunning, the speedrunning community or genre, don't care about it at all. I can appreciate the skill that it takes to do it but if you asked me if I wanted to sit down and watch a speedrun I'd look at you like you just asked if I wanted black licorice and spinach sandwich with chutney.
But Salt tells these stories so amazingly and skillfully that I actually get invested in what's happening and what's going on in the tales.
Same! I sub to around 70 channels, but only a select few has that bell turned on. Out of curiosity (and possibly similar taste) - which channels are the two others? Mine are Ahoy (up there along with Summoning Salt IMO), CGP Grey and Kurzgesagt
I cry everytime I watch these PERFECT VIDEOS, they ALWAYS elicit an exponential amount of Joy related to the (Love) Work you put in. It always feels like these are inlets to other dimensions of hype and solice, where the focus of a man is brought to it’s emotional limits thank you so much! ❤
I found your channel with the 4-2 video, and ever since I've been following you.
The way you manage make a full story, with sort of narrative arcs and all of that, together with the music makes you videos both easy to watch, and really engaging.
Your documentaris makes me feel cozy and warm
BTW Summoning Salt I hope you see this comment. As you edit in Sony vegas I have noticed that sometimes when you use a still in a video, it's in a lower quality than the video itself. this is because your video preview is set to "preview (auto)". Make sure to put it to the best quality when taking a screenshot in Vegas. hope it helps
yo matt
Good tip
and this is why mattcs is based
I like to think he does it to give it a retro look to his video’s since most of his video’s are about retro games
@@Eo22I005 Exactly. It looks retro.
“This, is where the record stands today. But who knows?”
Nice comment.
Yet another record broken immediately after the upload.
Congratulations! Love these videos, you do a great job editing and putting together a great story. Never been a speedrunner myself, but played several of the games and love to watch your videos.
I love and enjoy every single video you make. I’ve been a fan for a pretty long time, and this video made me tear up a bit. I will support you every step of the way, and will be right by your side on the journey to 2 mil 😊.
This guy is the David Attenborough of the speed running community
Agreed.
Spot on, DA would be proud ;)
Summoning Salt created a new genre on UA-cam in a way; after he started doing world record progressions, everyone started to do them. It’s honestly incredible.
honestly its amazing because you have such niche communities coming out of the woodworks
Would you recommend another channel that does progressions? I often see them in YT recommendations but never click on them because they are not Summoning Salt.

@@deegobooster LMFAO
Man, it's weird to see Summoning Salt finally talk about himself after so long of only bringing up anecdotes, off hand comments, or just putting his name up on things without drawing more attention to it.
When he showed his own WR in the punchout video without saying a word I felt like when your grandpa leaves the couch and you figure out that ge was the trusty gunner in the WWII story.
It's pretty common seeing people in the social media to advertise themselves, to give themselves the spotlight. Summoning Salt doesn't want the spotlight for more that he *deserves* it, he want to give the spotlight to the people that make history as the Best in the world in X videogame, making it funny and entertaining to us. *There will never ever* be a speedrunner youtuber like Summoning Salt

I’m not a speedrunner. Overall I don’t have much interest in the speed running community. But your videos are so well made that they make for very interesting viewing.
It’s like how if a documentary is of sufficient quality and is able to inform the viewer without the viewer having any prior knowledge of the subject then the documentary can still be highly interesting and compelling. That’s what your videos achieve, you don’t have to be a speed-runner or even follow the speed running community to enjoy them because of how well you present everything. A perfect mix of technical information, stats and facts, combined with a brilliant blend of drama to keep it super intriguing.
Agree completely. The melodrama really ramps up the suspense. My favourite part of his videos are always when he says:
“....and then this happened...”
You are a fantastic story teller. Possibly the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Also the opening music gets me so hyped to sit back and watch! Love the vids and we all appreciate your hard work. Keep it up!
Your videos have legitimately changed my life. In my bad days I tune in and rewatch videos several times over. The calming voice, we’re finally landing, and the masterful storytelling really make me feel like I’m somewhere else. Thank you
Summoning Salt is self-referencing now. That's it, guys, we've come full circle
Damn right we have.
Surprisingly, the first person to reach 1 million subscribers on UA-cam was none other than Matt Turk.
It's not often you get to hear Summoningsalt talk about himself
Yeah not even in Punch-Out videos where he have Mike Tyson world record.. It really shows how much he cares about the community
He's pretty humble, and I think that's why his passion translates into his work so well.
Ikr. Summoning salt is one of the most selfless youtubers out there
Congratulations dude. Well deserved. It's not easy to highlight the skill, determination, and collaboration required to accomplish these goals. I honestly believe that your channel is about the human spirit in a lot of ways. Thanks for keeping us inspired man.
Wow, this end to the video combined with We're Finally Landing really gave me goosebumps.
I always love stumbling upon a new video of yours.
Your channel has a unique flair, the choice of music and your style of narrating these runs with such in-depth research is just relaxing, interesting and truly enjoyable.
Did not realize I haven't subscribed until now after watching you for two years, of course I instantly changed that.
Here's to more millions of subscribers, you will deserve each single one of them.
Also I can't wait to see what will happen outside of UA-cam.
Please do all of us a favor and keep being such a humble person and keep making these documentaries.
True love, Tim
