Summoning Salt is back again with another history in speedrunning. He does such a good job with these videos and makes them genuinely interesting to me, as someone who does not speed run himself.

Yes, summoning salt has a talent to make engaging content, even if you're not invested in speeding running or the particular game he is covering! He makes some killer content.

The dedication of speedrunners is insane.
You could hardly pay me to replay a game under these conditions 2 times in a row, let alone 11 hours on a Sunday.
Cyghfer was one of the coolest people back when GDQ was a great show. I watched one of his GDQ runs live and while I’d seen all the world records that far, he still blew my mind.

These videos are always so good and this one was no exception.

Good video. I watched it yesterday. As usual, SS weaves a compelling drama of speedrunning competition. I like his inclusion of a graph crossing dates with world record holders and runners this time.
I'm also glad he decided to produce a video on a not-Mario Kart/Super Mario/miscellaneous Nintendo game. I assume that all the contacts that he builds while producing these videos makes it easier to create more content on the same tracks, but it's nice to see it mixed up, even a little (yeah sure Mega Man 2 is a game on the Nintendo Entertainment System but it still feels different enough from his last... 10 videos)
