The real skill of Summoning Salt is that he’s a brilliant story teller. He takes a group of events and tells them in a captivating and interesting way, and I love it.
@@gravity_freaks i think a big factor is his love and adoration for the scene and his desire to clearly showcase the stuff he loves and why he loves it

It really boils down to how much he cares about all of those records. He treats every technic invented like a new scientific breakthrough , and makes you see, that, in their own way, they are.
I don't even play games now, but I've watched almost all of his videos. Nothing is better than his explanations about how some obscure gamer beat some other obscure gamer by 0.01s.
i am late to the party, but damn, thats because an amazing artist and an amazing content creator clashed together.

Him and Karl Jobst both. And GDQ as well. Never ran a single thing in my life (thought about CTR though), and don't think I would have the patience. Still watch all this shit just enthralled.
I had an entire emotional arc over the guy who tried to do all 32 Mario Kart 64 records and came so so so close to getting it, but didn't. He truly has perfected his craft.
I think what was so amazing about that video was that at the beginning he had you rooting for the Alliance, but then by the end you’re rooting for Matthias. Now that’s some god tier storytelling right there.
I know I'm a bit late to the party but did y'all see his slight flex at the end of the Punch-Out video where he shows his own record? Man's a legend I tell you
Everytime he says : BUT THEN I think that the whole universe will rewrite itself and a new reality is going to be created, just for that record to be broken.
Something about his pacing and narration keeps me hooked the entire time. I forget everything else to just float in a bubble of the cosmos where the only thing that matters is the story. Aye, this is exactly how it feels to watch Summoning Salt :D
**Summoning Salt voice** : "But Hannibal47 found a massive shortcut to take mediterranean% from The_romans_caesar. He noticed a poligon in the alps that, hitting it at the precise speed from the Rhone river, had just the right angle to clip his elephants directly into Rome, avoiding the 21 frame rule and saving both time and resources from the more reliable Tyrrhenian Sea route..." Pd.: I have no idea about ancient roman history and just spent half an hour on wikipedia for this dumb joke.

Ngl, I had first witnessed Matt Turk's talents in the incredible Punch out WR video, and then had a hiatus of about full-on 6 months, and then I returned to his latest Mario Bros 2 WR video. And when he said "that man... was Matt Turk" I legitimately screamed.
the only guy that is able to make you scream "WHAAAAAAT!!!!1!!!11!" when you watch a run that looks exactly the same as the past 50 you watched but this time they beat it by 3 frames
I don't know how he does it, I didn't even care about speed running at first, but he got me into it just because his videos are so calming. Perfect sleep aide if you ask me, especially the Mario Kart videos (I've had to rewatch a few of them because I fall asleep during them).
I was just into Mario Kart, but I find myself completely drawn in by fucking Portal, Sonic, or Mike Tyson Punch Out speedruns. In any other context I don't care about any of these games in the slightest

Watching Summoning Salt in the dead of night, is a different feeling. Being reminded of your own mortality as you listen to stories of humans pushing to their limits. This is what it means to be human. What splendor
@EPloar Div no, as his videos are mostly for speedrunners and speedrunning, as it's a simple way to get introduced to different techniques and history of a certain game or part of a game.

@@nahometesfay1112 It really shows his humility. He's focused more on what's being done by the speedrunning community rather than his personal accomplishments and advancements in it. He gives just as much attention to the efforts of other speedrunners as he does himself, only bringing up his involvement as it relates to the topic.
@@leseanpayne2805 I've always wanted a speedrunner to do that. Especially for a contested game. Do a video about the world record history, but as it's coming to the end and shows the current record, have them be like "But, after weeks and weeks of grinding out runs, a runner was about to beat the old record in a way never before seen. By putting their run at the end of a world record progression video. Here, is that run." And then the rest of the video is literally just their world record run they've been secretly hiding and only submitting it as they post the video.
Summoning Salt: "Hey, want to hear me talk about oddball user names like they are Willie Mays? Do you want to hear progressively smaller and smaller numbers while practically the same video game footage plays? And do you want it to have random nerds cheering, in depth details about game glitches, and the lowest stakes rivalries you will ever, ever hear of?" Everyone who is here: "Yes, good god, YES!"
There is nothing that is not interesting about his videos. Summoning Salt does something I have yet to see from others, and he explains speedruns, something I wasn't very interested in until watching his videos.
@@placeholder_009 that makes three of us. I wonder if he knows how influential he’s been to the casual side of speed running, if not the future professionals he’ll be inspiring.
somehow i always finish his videos feeling like i dedicated my whole life to whatever he's talking about and that music, i have no idea where it came from or how its called or anything, but it has a something that makes me feel nostalgia, interest, importantness(?, interest again, and honestly he could be talking about a dream he had last nigh with that music and i would be absolutely engaged
This song has become so associated with his channel that when we hear it in 15 years we will remember all of the stories and the nostalgia will be crazy
Summoning Salt is the only content creator that I can truly say that I’ve watched all his videos, never skipped parts of the video, and genuinely feel like I’ve gained some awe inspiring information from whatever he is talking about, he amazes me
summoning salt: and his name... was andrewg me, who has never watched any of andrew's content: WOOOOOOO YEAHH BABY, THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FORrRR edit: any time sumsalt posts i binge the rest of his content and then get Very Sad
I would have normally been bored out of my skull listening to people talk about world record speedruns, but SummoningSalt..... I've watched every video. I don't know how he does it but I want more.
Whenever i watch a summoning salt video i lie down in bed and close my eyes for a very chill experience. Sometimes i fall asleep, but i usually watch his videos at 3 AM so its probably for the best lol
thank you so much for this man. u know since my sleeping schedule is unusual, often I play league or other games deep in the night, while having SomeOrdinaryGamers, Penguinz01 or summoning salt in the background, telling me what they found, learned about or have to show/explain. I can say I love all the content of these people, as well of theit voices.
I watch summoning salt myself, so I guess youtube's algorithm finally chose to recommend me something based on what I watch like it's supposed to. Also, this whole video is just *MOOD*
Summoning Salt is hands down the best content creator on this site. The dedication, the script, the research, the editing, it's all perfection. There is only a few creators that I get excited for when a new video comes out, but Summon Salt is one of them for sure. It's hard to overstate how good his video's truly are. You could hype them up for a month, and the person would STILL think it was better than you were leading on
I think there are 3 absolute pillar channels that need to be used as an example and considered "legendary". In no specific order; Summoning Salt, Scott the Woz, and Telepurte. 3 amazing channels, none of them inherently related, who show clear dedication and consistency in the craft. They each work hard, put high effort into their videos regardless of schedule (Telepurte posts everyday), and most importantly never try to make it a job.

@EPloar Div no, as his videos are mostly for speedrunners and speedrunning, as it's a simple way to get introduced to different techniques and history of a certain game or part of a game.
we’re finally landing is such an incredible piece of summoning salt’s work tbh
"Then he had the world record."
Me: "Until..."
"Until three years later."
It took 17,463,802 attempts. There were no new strategies, no new game breaks. He just simply did it faster
@@raymondwilliams379 "He commented, 'this time is the best I can manage, I think if anyone is going to EVER beat this, it will either need a new strategy, or a lot of time.'
3 days later, a new runner had set the record."
“But then, the run stayed that way for months, until suddenly,
a powerful rat named Charles Entertainment Cheese, started getting higher on the leaderboards, crushing Pizza Hut’s sub 30 on the pizza competition any% run.”
"But, as everyone knows...
No one out-pizzas the hut"
"Unfortunately, Charles was exposed as a cheater, using pizza splicing hacks to shave whole minutes off his run."
very late to the party here but i always gotta pay respect to dank Defunctland references
i started watching summoning salt my freshman year of college (2019) and seeing this video be uploaded on my birthday helped me get through some tough stuff so i just wanted to say thank you for making this :)
If yall just want the song its "We're Finally Landing" by Home
Thx man
thanks ^^
If you click on one of his videos, he has all the music he uses in a doc in the description if you were interested.
Oh, cool. Thanks man.
Check out Home tho he got some great synthwave to chillwave music lol
Summoning Salt literally made a video about speedrunning of a golf game and it's amazing. This dude is a freaking monster.
It's true, I didn't thinj it could be entertaining but I was so wrong.
As someone who has been binging him recently, this couldn't be more true
And spotting his username in pretty much all of the world records he talks about. He is so goddamn humble it makes me mad
If I see a video where he says "And then, someone did something previously unthinkable... Me." I'll feel like the 4th wall of reality has been broken and summoning salt is peering at my soul through a 4th dimensional fold
@@leseanpayne2805 I'm pretty sure that he talked about a record he held once, but it could've also been an EZscape video
@@bnuymedia2537 He did for one of his Mike Tyson Punch Out videos. It's very surreal because he just starts talking in first person, but his delivery doesn't change.
@@nahometesfay1112 It really shows his humility. He's focused more on what's being done by the speedrunning community rather than his personal accomplishments and advancements in it. He gives just as much attention to the efforts of other speedrunners as he does himself, only bringing up his involvement as it relates to the topic.
@@leseanpayne2805 I've always wanted a speedrunner to do that. Especially for a contested game. Do a video about the world record history, but as it's coming to the end and shows the current record, have them be like "But, after weeks and weeks of grinding out runs, a runner was about to beat the old record in a way never before seen. By putting their run at the end of a world record progression video. Here, is that run." And then the rest of the video is literally just their world record run they've been secretly hiding and only submitting it as they post the video.
WHY DOES THIS HIT SO CLOSE TO HOME THO
The man's videos are pure magic, it goes it such immense without ever being full or boring. Just amazing
"For those who don't know, TAS is a Tool-Assisted Speedrun, where..."
"To understand the framerule imagine a bus..."
"...a TASer will use special tools, such as savestates, slow-motion, and frame-by-frame input to script a hypothetically perfect run."
I feel this in my bones
One of the few TH-camrs who can actually make me sit through an hour long video without breaks.
Me at 3AM with no actual speed running experience
summoning salt makes me feel lonely and complete at the same time
That got me good! I never did see it this way but now that I have I realize what I treat those videos are. Transported to a world of flow
Summoning Salt: "Hey, want to hear me talk about oddball user names like they are Willie Mays? Do you want to hear progressively smaller and smaller numbers while practically the same video game footage plays? And do you want it to have random nerds cheering, in depth details about game glitches, and the lowest stakes rivalries you will ever, ever hear of?"
Everyone who is here: "Yes, good god, YES!"
There is nothing that is not interesting about his videos. Summoning Salt does something I have yet to see from others, and he explains speedruns, something I wasn't very interested in until watching his videos.
@@somerandomashellperson7130 valid opinion
@@somerandomashellperson7130 same, i was loosely interested in speedruns, but now i kinda want to get into them.
@@placeholder_009 that makes three of us. I wonder if he knows how influential he’s been to the casual side of speed running, if not the future professionals he’ll be inspiring.
THAT'S THE BEST COMMENT I EVER SAW
When the WR gets broken but there’s still 45 minutes left in the video.
i hope this uploader knows that every single time i hear summoning salt's intro this video plays in my mind
"Also I've never played this game but please continue, Mr. Salt."
Matt Turk this Scott Kessler that....can’t believe y’all r forgetting about my main man abney317 😤
Careful, MR might be in here, you're gonna trigger nam flashbacks
It's crazy how such a well known youtuber gives so much recognition to the MK64 community that I've been apart of for quite a while now
And Andrew G
I hate abney
@@raymondwilliams379 farm flashbacks
somehow i always finish his videos feeling like i dedicated my whole life to whatever he's talking about
and that music, i have no idea where it came from or how its called or anything, but it has a something that makes me feel nostalgia, interest, importantness(?, interest again, and honestly he could be talking about a dream he had last nigh with that music and i would be absolutely engaged
my guy could be the best history teacher ever and by far
"noone thought the intro could get any more vibey. then... *this* happened."
This song has become so associated with his channel that when we hear it in 15 years we will remember all of the stories and the nostalgia will be crazy
This song comes on my Lo-Fi playlist when I'm going into work like every other day and the first thing I MUST do when I get in, is watch a SS video.
Listening to the videos whilst I spend a couple hours falling in and out of sleep is a great feeling
Seeing how I just binged 8 straight hours of his content before getting recommended this video I know it's absolutely accurate
same
me too lol
Summoning Salt is the only content creator that I can truly say that I’ve watched all his videos, never skipped parts of the video, and genuinely feel like I’ve gained some awe inspiring information from whatever he is talking about, he amazes me
He deserves to go down in time as one of the all time greats
summoning salt: and his name... was andrewg
me, who has never watched any of andrew's content: WOOOOOOO YEAHH BABY, THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FORrRR
edit: any time sumsalt posts i binge the rest of his content and then get Very Sad
I read this with penguinz0's voice, wtf
@@vocaloidmaniac fuck you made me do it too
@@vocaloidmaniac well its from him so its kinda expected
This is actually so relatable 😂. It was always Andrewg or someone who’s name started with an A that would for no reason get me so hyped.
@@adamcamp5426 on an unrelated note i have to get my name changed real quick. specifically to something starting with A. brb
This video is so accurate bro especially cause I watch when I’m stoned
I need a "what it's like to finish a summoning salt video" the experience is noteworthy
That felt amazing to watch after listening to the song for a bit. Thank you :)
you are welcome wondering soul
this... is the only piece of media that accurately describes how i feel watching something
I would have normally been bored out of my skull listening to people talk about world record speedruns, but SummoningSalt..... I've watched every video. I don't know how he does it but I want more.
Whenever i watch a summoning salt video i lie down in bed and close my eyes for a very chill experience. Sometimes i fall asleep, but i usually watch his videos at 3 AM so its probably for the best lol
I feel so targeted. But you aren't wrong. I get so caught up in speedrunning, and I don't even care about that
thank you so much for this man.
u know since my sleeping schedule is unusual, often I play league or other games deep in the night, while having SomeOrdinaryGamers, Penguinz01 or summoning salt in the background, telling me what they found, learned about or have to show/explain. I can say I love all the content of these people, as well of theit voices.
sounds pretty simular to what I do lol
@@StaggerNight what a chad.
I watch summoning salt myself, so I guess youtube's algorithm finally chose to recommend me something based on what I watch like it's supposed to.
Also, this whole video is just *MOOD*
Summoning salt is so good, though, it's almost unreal
i want his intro/outro music played as they lower my casket into the ground
Song name?
Preach, ive been rewatching all his videos for the last week, no idea what ill do when I run out
Summoning Salt is hands down the best content creator on this site. The dedication, the script, the research, the editing, it's all perfection. There is only a few creators that I get excited for when a new video comes out, but Summon Salt is one of them for sure. It's hard to overstate how good his video's truly are. You could hype them up for a month, and the person would STILL think it was better than you were leading on
I think there are 3 absolute pillar channels that need to be used as an example and considered "legendary". In no specific order; Summoning Salt, Scott the Woz, and Telepurte. 3 amazing channels, none of them inherently related, who show clear dedication and consistency in the craft. They each work hard, put high effort into their videos regardless of schedule (Telepurte posts everyday), and most importantly never try to make it a job.
@@themoldysausage I’d like to add a fourth pillar: Lemmino. Not in any way related to the other 3, but nonetheless of equal caliber.
@@themoldysausage another pillar: bill wurtz. his contributions via history of the entire world is phenomenal
