Are ya only doing mario speedrun videos? I don't mind just wondering
Maroo
cool
You’re welcome
“And his name was Matt Turk” had me believing in a speedrunning cinematic universe
Matt Turk is the main character of speedrunning
andrewg has me believing that now
I really said out loud "Omg"
Hahahahaha I came here to say something similar
I was honestly questioning if Matt Turk had any limits for a couple seconds 🤣
"There was just one problem: It had been years since someone with a funny username had set a record"
Truly the highest priority
Time stamp- 37:51
@@bonyeni TYVM hate when people don't post timestamp
@@ssssaa2 its literally in the video
@@SirBigDaddy69 Doesn't mean I remember when it was or if I just want to go to a highlight it needs a timestamp. Especially with an almost hour long video.
shivering
It's interesting how SM64 is both carefully, thoughtfully designed and also held together with string and prayer
A lot of the most interesting parts of games are actually faults or certain ways they choose to make the game. Accidental not purposely done.
Every project ever made by humans, from the best to the worst, are like this
Specially when it involves programming, even the best made programs are held together by duct tape, you would be surprised how many companies use decade old software that has entire sections of code with comments made by past devs that go something like this:
// "Don't delete or change this, I don't know why but this piece of shit somehow holds the fabric of the universe together, add to the counter and pass on to the next unlucky dev"
// "Hours spent in this hell: 340h"
Advanced Duct-tape technique jutsu is the best way to describe Mario 64 imo
Don't forget paper clips and bubblegum
The string and a prayer parts are carefully, thoughtfully designed too! They had to figure out exactly where they could cut those corners to optimize the game without affecting normal gameplay.
Rules of Japanese speedrunning:
1. Scream like you're being brutally murdered if you get a record
2. Be uncannily fast
I like that the second part is being fast
3. "YATTAAAAA!!!!"
be unKANNOly fast...worst joke ever
slipperynips reaction is what i strive for if i ever get a record or something like that
"oh hey. sweet."
like dude. you're the best current player in the world? and you're reacting to this information as if you found twenty dollars in your pocket
Suigi definitely met that criteria
Literally everyone who gets a world record:
*Sounds of wailing, crying, orgasming,
Latest world record-holder, Slipperynip:
* "wow. alright, cool. sweet."
someone with some god damned composure
Running has become more of an everyday burden for these guys, to the point that anything short of perfection is a failure. They've seen themselves get the record in their head time and time again. They know they can, so when it finally happens, it is more relieving than exciting.
@@Flopsaurus not really, its just that slip was going for a MUCH faster time (14:4x I think) and missing it but getting record didnt really mean anything as it wasnt his goal
@@elliottwoods5636 I think you’d be crying if you spent months trying to get something and you finally got it so it’s kinda ignorant to say “someone with some god dammed composure”
@@fryingmachine571 so? peeing on yourself when it happens is understandable, but also unnecessary. theres nothing wrong with saying that, though he did word it a bit brashly
"It was Matt Turk."
I literally went "No fucking way." out loud. You got me good!
same lmaoooo
Me too, exactly those words
Ye
LMAOOOO SAME
Funny thing is that I called Matt Turk just before he said it, and then promptly facepalmed in disbelief when I saw his name.
He got us good, ngl.
His reaction at the very end was perfect. "Wow. Alright. Cool. Sweet."
It's a clear sign of a skilled storyteller when salt can make these documentaries so fascinating to viewers like myself who haven't played videogames since they were kids and in my case have never speed run games . It's one thing to appeal to a core audience but very much another to appeal to such a wide viewership, kudos to salt...
Same
I've never even played the games I watch speedrun explanation videos about. I just find this stuff so endlessly fascinating that it doesn't matter.
I've literally never played super mario 64 but I watched this whole video gladly haha
Yeah, agreed. I don't care about most of the games he covers at all, but the way he narrates with his music and editing just keeps me captivated 👍
SAME! I've been invested in the entire video. Everytime I thought he was showing the last one, there was someone better xD what a Rollercoaster, but super interesting and engaging
I lost my fucking mind when Summoning Salt said "Matt Turk"
That was such a good prank lmao
dude same man i was grinning so much
Im actually hurt
Who is he?
@@Raza9428 watch the Mike Tyson video.
A guy named Matt Turk had times people years later barely matched so they seemed fake. Because no proof.
But the times he noted/claimed, were the exact same as the people later matched. So we’re they faked? One guy even has to TAS it to figure out what Matt was doing and another guy beat the TAS. Matt was breaking hearts before hearts came into play. Dude was ahead of his time.
@fefnirscards He also ran Contra, which is why it's a meme on his channel now. He unexpectedly popped up in another video.
Summoning salt has built such an speedrunner’s video doc universe that Matt Turk appearing at anytime is believable even if it doesn’t make sense
Still is the funniest troll Salt’s ever done, lmao
LMAO it's so unironically true though.
Matt Turk really is the Thanos of the Summoning Salt Cinematic Universe
Probably every speedrunner is just an alterego of Matt Turk, so he holds every record, all the time.
Shut up
48:27 I know it’s heartbreaking to lose a world record like that, but I couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably when salt cut the music when Weegee jumped the wrong way lmao
For anyone curious, current WR is 14:35:500 by Suigi which is a staggering 15 seconds faster than 2nd place (Slipperynip)
New skips/strats found I assume?
@@TopDogRL from what i recall, it was raw and pure optimization in every single way. you wanna talk about human limit? that's it. people were in disbelief, fearing he'd cheated.
damn suigi literally has all record but the 120 star
Bro put spoilers
@@HDTomospoilers for a wr?? What? 😂
I love the personality contrast between Kanno getting his world record and nearly/actually crying in happiness and Slipperynip beating his record and just going "alright"
I laughed and nearly choked on my Chex mix when I heard "oh. cool."
well kanno had been streaming for like 100 days
@@SweepSwapInUrWalls I believe it was 128 days or so, pretty crazy
He looks and acts exactly like the kind of guy I'd expect to call himself "slipperynip"
@relaxI_I damn hope hes good.
Man Matt Turk was so wild, I actually believe you when you said he just randomly showed up and snatched sub 16
facts
I know, I was genuinely sad when he said he was kidding
I actually sighed and put a hand up to my face. Fantastic bait
Guys, summoning salt IS Matt Turk but he’s so humble he doesn’t want to make us noob gamers feel bad about not having his gamer genes.
I thought the timing of that WR was outta place for Turk's era but I didn't have long enough to really comprehend that it might be a joke before Salt got us all . . .
for alll those that are curious the as of 12/20/22 the all time 16 star record is held by suigi with 14m/41s/380ms
How did he squeeze out another 15 seconds? Has a major new trick been discovered since 2021?
@@TVmuki nothing major at all, just better optimization with a FEW small new things to save fractions of a second. it really comes down to perfect play at this level
@@TVmuki chip clip, optimization, insane Bowser throughs, ect, there still is time to stay
Now down to 14:35 and some change 😮
this aged well
My guy takes speedrunning, and turns it into an emotional movie. There is so much effort put in these videos.
literally my heart was POUNDING at several points in the video lmao
He really does have that writer's gift for narrative and suspense. Manages to make a pretty absurd subject downright compelling. Almost completely nullifies my ability to make fat jokes, but I do worry about these kids in chairs that look like they have integrated catheters.
@@amarissimus29 None of them are even fat though? Some look a bit on the chubby side, but they all look reasonably sized (that we see). Some like Weegee are even skinny.
@@Light_Dies_07"And his name was Matt Turk"
Spiderman into spiderverse< using the stair run is cheating, so it does not count
A closely kept secret in speedrunning is that every top runner is just Matt Turk in disguise
To everyone who asks how top runners do live races at live events with crowds present: c'mon, it's Matt Turk
all speed runners are just matt turk in a trench coat
@@michaelhird432 they are just undercover agents with matt turk on the phone in secret while he tells them what buttons to press
Everyone on earth is actually just matt turk running very fast and doing everything roger smith style.
He pays actors so it looks like different people beating each other to take the record, in reality it's just Matt getting a better record
For the love of God, PLEASE don't ever change that intro music. I've only been watching for like 3 years but holy shit does it nostalgia slam me every time, it's crazy. Means I'm in for a MAX quality treat.
The same music popped up in a music compilation I was listening to and I immediately got confused thinking a Summoning Salt video had started.
@@Domriso Yeah. First time I heard this theme in Space trip compiltaion.
The speedrunning national anthem
song?
@@jacksonkline4090 HOME - We Finally Landed
- is named SlipperyNip
- gets back to speedrunning the game and gets the new world record
- only reaction is "wow....alright, cool :)"
massive chad
It's so fascinating to see the skill floor rise in these highly competitive speedruns. At the beginning you can mess up movement and miss a Bowser throw. By the end, mess up even the simplest thing and you're out of the running.
Optimization is a b%tch like that lol
Once runs get highly optimized, they're almost frame-perfect by the end. By the time a game's SpeedRun comm has matured, there's almost no room for error at all. It's crazy, and why I've never gotten into running myself.
@@Eye_Of_Odin978 you can do runs for fun too, you don't have to go in to a game expecting to be among the best of all time. I set personal goals and try to beat those, even if they're miles away from the wr :)
"Just kidding. It obviously wasn't Matt Turk."
"It was AndrewG"
*abney has entered the chat
You're waiting for a bus...
And then he did THIS.
"It was AndrewG...G as in gotcha cuz it was really xxx_420_blazit_xxx"
@@michaelmatter1222 lmao!
I feel like “and his name was Matt Turk” is the punchline this channel has been building itself towards all along
Trueee
And it was delivered perfectly so many ppl in the comments that were convinced for 2 seconds that Matt turk was some fucking speed running legend
@@jaspervences1655
I just found this channel, can you point me to the video where this became a meme?
@@christianstachl th-cam.com/video/TBR9ypSOTGQ/w-d-xo.html
@@christianstachl technically this video made it a meme but Matt turk is not new to speed running.
As a history major and history enthusiast I looove that you explain your sources and why some sources were included and why others were not. Then also addressing the limitations of various sources (this run had no video, this run we know happened because this community spoke of the live stream, etc)
Like this is really good historical theory
The effect of striking cheaters from history by not even dignifying them a name is a special touch.
suigi just broke the 14:40 barrier last week with a 14:35.500 and also broke the 7 minute barrier for the 1 star record with a 6:58.350.. the man is insane
Hes a child
@@mastergik ok?
@@mastergik FeelsWeirdMan
@@mastergik n ur a grown man watching Mario?
@@jctherula yes I know everything about the game
Any time Summoning Salt says the words “Matt” and “Turk” together, it doesn’t matter what else he says, I will be on the edge of my seat ready to believe anything he tells me
If he didnt say just kidding history itself wouldve changed to fit matt turk in this timeline
"nah I'm just kidding" 😭💀
He got us good.
"Matt Turk scored a 15:54 while fighting off the Taliban and ISIS using nothing but his feet and a sniper rifle."
@@Twistedsackboy matt turk is the founder and ceo of nintendo, also hes god
“Matt Turk discovers the Earth is dodecahedral.”
“Wow. Alright, cool. Sweet.”
What an ending. I love the way Slipperynip celebrates. Legendary
What an absolute chad.
Yeah he's just an average joe that only played a few times. No big deal to him.
Its a hobbie for him, and a lifestyle for everyone else
Slipperynip is the Joe Buck of speedrunners.
I love that he was just SO CHILL about it compared to how other runners would react
Here to say congrats Suigi on new WR 14:35! I’m tearing up seeing his reaction.
Suigi just broke 1 star and 0 star
mf is lowkey GOATED
@@romuloschiavon772 not sure that's lowkey anymore lol
Crazy perfect run!
@@romuloschiavon772 GOAT
And now, not even 2 years later, the record of this category is 14:35...

That Matt Turk part really got me, I don't think i've ever said "no freaking way" out loud to a youtube video before. all of these videos are like top tier documentaries.
who is matt turk
@@lurl Watch SummoningSalt's other video, "The Quest to Beat Matt Turk", for the explanation.
@@lurl A famous speedrunner who, among other things, set early Punchout records that took a long time for others to catch up to. Look up "The Quest to beat Matt Turk" for more info.
@@lurl he's a Speed running GOD of NES era games. His name has popped up in a lot of Salt's videos about those games.
In Punchout though, he is The Alpha and the Omega. Salt did an entire video about how it took many players around the world years to meet (because they physically cannot be improved) or beat his records in that game.
That he's now effectively a meme for these videos is entirely warranted, and I love it.
@@EmperorPylades oh that’s funny
One of my favorite moments in these videos is when the wall of focus and determination breaks down to make way for the tidal wave of emotions when a record is set. I get the feels every time...then there's slipperynips who is like "ok, cool." What a legend!

I love how we all collectively accepted for a few moments that Matt Turk actually speedran this game. This man is so infamous for beating people's asses in speedrunning that he could be do anything and we'd all believe him.

That’s a gamer right there
I would honestly pay for him to make a documentary on literally anything. Computers, racing, doesn’t matter. I’ll watch the whole darn thing and enjoy the everliving daylights out of it.
I totally fell for the Matt Turk thing, "Holy shit, he did it again!"
Same lol. Especially because of the Contra thing. Speedrunning god
I was already rationalizing “man he truly is a talented player”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt Turk is a GOD among gamers, so I wouldnt put past him tbh! But that was a a nice gotcha haha
It was so convincing because he’s never tricked us before
The fact that summoningsalt and company managed to piece together legitimate record holders when there was over 10 years of splicers holding the record is nuts. There wasnt a single leaderboard like there is now so I'm not even sure how they did it.
the sm64 community archived pretty much all of their history and world records in a spreadsheet i think
"And his name was Matt Turk" literally sent chills down my spine.
“Kanno wasn’t considered to be a top speed runner”
Kanno: “And I took that personally”
Bruh idk what's worse: that you got us so good with Matt Turk or that Matt Turk is such a legend that we could totally believe it was him.
Probably the 2nd one but far as I know, Matt Turk focused on Punch-out and Contra. Still, given his legendary status on those games and a lot of recurring audience members for Salt, it's still a scathing reveal regarless if it's true or not.

4 days ago, Suigi broke his own world record by an even faster run. I've watched the original Suigi run so many times thinking it'd be unbeatable, but this guy just keeps coming at it. This is probably the most perfect run I've seen by far.
Bro the Matt Turk joke was the perfect joke that only people who have watched you before would get and you delivered it perfectly!
You got me SO good with the Matt Turk! I was like "WHAT. I didn't hear about him running this game!" Yet I could wholly believe it.

If Matt Turk was there, that would make it the greatest crossover because ludwig donated somewhere in the video to akki.
"His name was Matt Turk."
This name gives chills down my spine as if the boss is on his way.
Mike Tyson's Matt turk? The guy the community spent years trying to overthrow his world record runs?

@@mwperk02 no the NFL punter
@@YOSSARIAN313 I wasn't aware the NFL had a speed running legend in the roster but the more you know.
19:30
It's scary how aki played 700 hours between the 15:08 and the 14:59. I will never have this level of dedication.
those are rookie numbers
And there's Kanno who put 3000 hours straight (with sleep and daily activities of course)
700 really is not that large of a number is the context of gaming at this point. Still a lot if you’re not super invested into any competitive game tho
When this video was made, the WR was 14m56s. As of 8/27/23, the WR is 14m35s

In the Matt Turk joke, I was SO ready for it to be AndrewG
Andrew G, Matt Turk, Sinister1, Abney and VAJ are my faves. They're all so good in different ways. VAJ is definitely my top fave. He likes MarioKart like me. He's Hispanic like me and he yells a lot like me. He's so charismatic and it's hilarious.
you gotta bring passion to the things you do
Nothing like watching summoning salt at 11 at night eating pretzels after a mental breakdown. Thanks for being here.
This video definitely needs an update! Suigi joined the scene and makes everything before him look ridiculously slow.

@@BigKlingy
In order to focus energy on speedrunning and shorten the space between neurons his brain has done away with such trivial things as emotions, biological urges, or abstract thought. In fact if you tap his leg, he will reflexively pick up a control and start to play a near perfect game.
LMAOOO all of these replies are great
It took me a while to open up the Summoning Salt door but man, this video makes me glad I finally did! You put so much passion into speedrunning's lore, advancements and characters that it feels cinematic. Top it with an non-intrusive but groovy soundtrack and you get a masterclass of storytelling, which I've probably watched through several times already.
I'm feverishly waiting for the next video, but looks like I got a catalogue to work through! Keep it up, you legend!
Suigi needs his own 16 star video!
“And his name…..was Matt Turk”

Wait, is this the first Summoning Salt video where he actually acknowledges how goofy the runners' usernames are? He's been reading off these names for years like they are the official titles of historical figures, and finally he just couldn't help but acknowledge that "slipperynip" is, in fact, a ridiculous thing to say out loud

@@snonsig2688 and the matt turk joke. And the joke that weegee finally made it
@@-Mike- wow the man made a few jokes in a nearly hour long video. let's all complain about it because it ruined our experience.
So you’re telling me, KANNO had a stream where he played nothing but SM64 until he got the WR?!? The stream was 3,066 hours, which is 127 days ~4 months.
The level of commitment these guys have in speed running is something I desire in daily life.
37:50 "there was really only one problem: at this point, it had been almost 2 years since someone with a funny username had set a record."
Fun fact: The moment this video was posted, SM64 had about 2000 current viewers on twitch. About an hour afterwards (presumably when people had finished the video), it jumped up to over 40,000.
That’s a neat fact

Or they say the funny word
"This run sucks"
or just cry lol
you forgot "thinking it wasnt WR"
Honestly, I would love to see a Quake Speedrun history. Demos allowed people to watch speedruns from their very conception. Plus Quake speedrunning led to speeddemosarchive and all that entailed. I think it would be a great video.
i’ve watched a ton of your videos in the past couple of days, and i gotta say that speed running is something i never would have thought would interested me so much but it’s actually so cool. thanks for creating these videos :)

I wonder if you didnt have a check next to your name if your comment would even make it to the top lol..
@@ThePeacePlant I wonder if you didn't exist if your mother would be happier lol..
@@Futon_Penguin candidly a melancholic asphyxiation
This is the first video of yours where I had prior knowledge to the run because I watched some streamers do it (casually, no LBLJ). And I have to say, you do a great job at creating content that is amazing and understandable to both new and informed viewers. You really explain things well for people who have no idea and keep it interesting for people who already know the strats at the same time.
Well.... This needs to be updated.
Not gonna lie I was truly shocked when he said Matt Turk
Same
Same
eeyyy, toro esta aqui!
I was incredibly confused, but for some reason not really that surprised
I thought it was going to be AndrewG.
I feel bad for KANNO though.
Man spent 3000 hours streaming trying to get that WR.
You can see the relief of that man.
Then Slipperynip just went "wow alright. cool. sweet" 🤣
he got the 0 and 1 star records during those 3000 hours (some have been beaten by now)
It's not like Slip wasn't trying though, he'd been doing runs constantly since long before Kanno was targeting 16. He had so many runs into BitS that were WR pace that it was a meme that he would choke it. Even though he didn't leave his stream on for 3k hours and didn't have a pop off, he absolutely had been pushing hard for that record for a long time.
Slipperynip had been grinding almost a year straight before he got record.
@@squisher1235 Yeah, I fell like Salt could have done a better job covering Slip, the man got a 15:00.3 and a 15:00.1 and had been grinding since before Kanno, either way both runners are great
Hey, at least he didn't lose WR at the literal last second because you faced the wrong way. RIP Weegee.
imagine being bowser holding a princess captive and then you see a short man with a mustache saving her from the huge castle in 10 minutes 💀
Absolutely insane hearing how much life is in weegee's voice at the end of his 15:17, it feels like he's always been the jaded old man he is today
I absolutely love how Matt Turk has become the primary antagonist in the Summoning Salt lore
Not antaganist, but a legend whose mere name sends shivers down the best players spine
I absolutely love how this comment implies there is lore. SS Cinematic Universe, anyone?
first video i watch of this channel, who is Matt Turk? what videos should I watch?
@@BerriesNotNice You should probably start with the video called "The Quest to Beat Matt Turk"
@@BerriesNotNice Mike Tyson punchout records
Virgin Ludwig: breaks down after a month long subathon
Chad Kanno: streams for over 4 months
"Its hard to hold on to it for long." Green Suigi: "Hold my record"
Actually had me with the Matt Turk joke lmao
"And his name... is Matt Turk"
"Nah I'm just kidding"
YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT MATE I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK
I literally said out loud “Oh no fucking way”, I put my trust in salt and he betrayed me 😢
@@teethcoat4274 same! i didnt expect a betrayal in Summoning salt vid
I was literally saying "no fucking way" over and over when you said Matt Turk took the record, well played
I said "son of a bitch" out loud when he said that. We've been tricked, backstabbed, and quite possibly, bamboozled.
Same exact thing here haha
37:50 "there was really only 1 problem, at this point, it had been almost 2 years since someone with a funny username set a record."
LMAOOOO
And as of around a month ago Suigi set the record of 14:41.380 taking down Slipperynip’s 14:50.690 which stood for 8 months roughly
And now he got a 14:35 suigi is the ultimate goat of sm64
I'm not gonna lie, I actually believed matt turk was a god amongst men for a solid 7 seconds.
He still is...just not at this game, tho I bet he would kick my ass at it
In fairness he's at least a demigod.
The man is pretty close. He appears in everything
I was super confused but not at all surprised, Turk is the kinda person that would find a 30 second save somewhere in SM64, not give any proof, refuse to elaborate, then leave like the demigod he is before people find out he wasn't lying
He probably can still beat everyone watching this video at Super Mario 64
Salt knows his memes he made, and I have a grudging respect for that.
Even if my neck hurt from my reaction from hearing Turk's name.
Edit: Probably would have been more believable for longer if the mentioned player were instead, like, Alex Penev or Dan Burbank.
"imagine a bus"
The Matt Turk thing got me. I let out an audible gasp after hearing that one. It hurt
I can't believe hoe great your narration is @Salt.
The pacing, retro music, records, buildup etc. It's amazing to watch and listen to. I am not a big fan of speedruns, but this is just fantastic
Im so addicted to your videos, and Karl Jobst's. The music you use, the way you tell a story, it's so relaxing and engaging.
Slipperynips reaction at the end is so perfect. This video really puts into perspective how insane of a record it is. After all these years matching damn near perfection on a game as complex as sm64 in celebration of such an amazing run we get a "Wow. Alright cool. Sweet."
Same, I just bedazzled on how he takes it so "casually". He's a legend. Hopefully he'll keep his rank 1 :D
we need a complete recap for Matt Turk feats, he truly is a gaming legend
No game is safe, none. Matt will find it... He will beat it... And his records will last for years
That's a great idea. "The quest to be Matt Turk"
Big agree
The History of Matt Turk World Records
there already is th-cam.com/video/TBR9ypSOTGQ/w-d-xo.html
Legend has it that Matt Turk has a Dragster time of 5.50 seconds.
I love your video style. They're just so captivating, I end up completely enraptured by the history of speedruns of games I've never played or even heard of before. The pacing's really nice, and I end up feeling so giddy when it gets to that point where speedrunners break the limit. Really nice job, dude 👍
