Bro took the summoning salt video personally

[@SnivyDS]

This is a certified “Beck Abney Moment.”

[@ErasersRoq]

This was insane to witness live. GL to both Abney and Kazuya! The race continues.

[@isuck6049]

Unless new strats come out, this is gonna be a hard wr to beat, abney basically got one of the best rng ever, and the only mistakes that we're major was the lightning striked that hit him and the banana he slipped on in banshee, everything else was just depended on rng/shroom usage

[@skip3508]

​​@@isuck6049I mean there was probably at least 20 seconds worth of improvement if given that RNG though tbf. (Had blue shell on royal raceway, probably about 10 seconds worth of save on banshee, bowsers castle, and warios stadium). Somewhat slow Luigi's raceway among other things. The run is definitely beatable, but you only get that level of RNG maybe 1%.

[@isuck6049]

@@skip3508 i mean there is also another way, but yeah I do think that this is possible to be beaten with just normal strats we see today and no yolo valley + weathertenko...

[@coconuts7960]

anytime i see comment like this it always feels slightly egotistical

[@JosephHk743]

Looks like Abney is back on top again in this category after so long! Sub 23 is huge.

[@DrewLevitt]

I’m not a Mario Kart 64 speedrunning expert, but it seems like this might be the last “sub X minutes” milestone, maybe forever. I just don’t see how you save 59 seconds off of this run, unless other major skips are discovered. Even then, it’d be very hard to save that much time. EDIT: I guess the “best possible time” of 21:14 as shown at the start of the video kinda proves me wrong. Pretty wild to think that even without new tech, there’s still 1:45 that could come off of this run!

To summarize abney's skips wr history, he basically had the sub 28, 27, 26, 25, 24 and now sub 23 speedrun world record in the game for a span of 8 years, he truly has one of, if not the greatest mario kart 64 legacy for sure

[@BearsRule777]

Cool? Lol

[@vaguebh]

definitely the greatest

[@isuck6049]

@@BearsRule777 that's not even half of what he's done in the game, i'm just stating that he really is that incredible of a player.

[@christhefish11]

⁠@@isuck6049ignore the idiot that took time out of their day to say “Cool? Lol” on a speed running video where the first sub 23 was set. I highly doubt they randomly found themselves on the video. Clearly Abney is just ‘Summoning Salt’ from them and they will need to get over it 😉😂. Long live Abney!!! He is the GOAT!!!

[@DaveChurchill]

18:19 - That smirk when you know you know it's all down to RR rng! Congrats man, well deserved

[@rgreerjr]

I JUST got done watching the summoning salt video, then saw in the comments you had a sub 23. fucking amazing, congrats

[@jzipsRS]

Fav moment was that trademark smirk at 18:18 when you got triple shrooms. Incredible run, absolutely loved every second of this

[@thedudeunderyourbed8474]

It's so funny how Abney keeps calm

[@theomnivert]

When you got the royal raceway rng I was so hyped, my heart was racing. I have never been this hyped about a video game speedrun before. Thanks to summoning salt damnit

[@Eudamonian]

Abney does it again. Summoning Salt has some gnarly content for another video. Been rooting for this comeback since it was taken from him 👍👍👍

[@tjkilshot]

Bruh this is the craziest gaming battle between the best I've ever seen. As an athlete for years, this I consider an art and sport. Abney and Kazuya it's been a pleasure watching you guys keep grinding the record. Don't let it die!

[@Glisin2nd]

18:18 He knew WR was coming with that smirk

[@GlitchanBlack]

*_A 15 SECOND TIME SAVE..._* Mario Kart 64 is getting extremely optimized at this point.

[@isuck6049]

And he thought that if he was gonna get the wr, he'd only get it by a second 😂

[@Chance57]

And now he thinks another 15 to 20secs off is in the near future. It's wild.

[@EvilApple567]

Holy shit, what a ridiculous milestone. Congrats man, your commitment to this game and category is unreal.

[@eoin8274]

I think whats incredible is not only did he complete the game in 22:58, he also won every single race! Those other drivers didnt stand a chance

[@zschow9259]

wats crazy is how fast their times do get

[@stevencarlson5348]

Unreal run!!! Just finished the SS doc, so glad to see you're back on top!!!!!

[@chrism6878]

Love to see it! I've been tuning in live since the Summoning Salt video but sadly missed this run. Great job!!!

[@John_NYT]

Summoning salt needs to update his video to add this. Much better ending.

[@Xris10BUL]

You can’t update videos on KZbin sadly

[@chrislopez2325]

Came from summoning salt and this was so great to watch after finishing that documentary. Congratulations

[@matthewrigby6089]

I think I got more emotional about this than Beck

[@jeangodecoster]

The amount of RNG and skill required to beat this record seems overwhelming. Oh yeah and SummoningSalt brought me here

[@calebos04]

What's funny is that the run with the god RNG came after a good 10+ minutes of resetting on Luigi Raceway because the game wouldn't give him shrooms (1/4 chance)

[@amu5758]

Watching this after the summoning salts video, didn't really know you before, but really happy to see thus happening, congrats man

[@SirStoneyOfBow]

Recently I watched Summoning Salt’s fantastic KZbin doc regarding Abney and his dominance in MK64 150cc skips and am stunned to see this time after all the attempts. WR just destroyed and a sub 23 minute run. What’s sickening is, there were small RNG factors that means it could go lower.

[@jsu9575m]

Congrats man. I always admire your patience and cool during a run that can be so unforgiving. Can't imagine the pressure when you got to rainbow road. Well deserved WR

[@OEx25]

I mean… damn. Congrats, man. Been watching a ton recently and really felt like you were genuinely on the cusp. Absolutely crazy how good this was. Category may not be dead, but feels damn near close. Hell of a run

[@isuck6049]

Its close unless kazuya uses weathertenko plus yolo valley, not to mention abney is probably gonna have a harder time beating this if he we're to attempt the 2 strats considering he's trying to play the game at mirror mode and gonna get the wr there too

[@oldmansteele]

I love how this category isn't over yet. Still more to come. Congrats

[@arunabhthakuria1731]

Fun fact: about 2 years ago I calculated that getting a run under 23 minutes would pretty much require tying all of the single cup records in one insane run. Well, fast forward a couple years and now we have that insane run. Once again, congrats on the LARGE wr Beck!

[@krononaut1]

It was fun watching it live. Chat got hyped. You beat the record by an insane amount. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

[@isuck6049]

He actually got the flower cup wr although it's not sub 4 mins though, and now he's tryna get the extra mode/mirror mode 100cc all cups wr too Edit: it's actually 100cc not 150cc

[@isuck6049]

And he fucking got the mirror mode record after only 9 days wtf

[@literallylegendary]

My first stream watching Abney (got raided to there) and I see this happen. One of the luckiest days of my life. Abney is certifiably the king of 150cc All Cups Skips.

[@Bladieblah]

I was rooting for you in summoningsalt video so really awesome to see this. Congrats!

[@Zephyr77]

Holy shit, and I just watched the summoning salt video, too

God damn what a cut, what an RNG and what a clean run overall! GG or reclaiming the WR and for the sub 23!!

[@Yearofthebows24]

Sub 23:00: *summoning salt misic intensifies* Congrats good sir. That was really fun to watch. May you have many good runs in the future

[@PeterIovine]

I got goosebumps when I saw the livestream title. Even more amazed by the sub 23 minute smash. Congratulations Abney you deserve this!!!!!

[@idleunam]

"its pretty hard to improve, unless you do some really risky stuff." I think thats where this record will go next, with the risky stuff being the driving force behind getting WRs.

[@silverflight01]

Mario Kart 64 Skips is like playing a slot machine and hoping that every roll is a winner. The moment you get a bad roll (e.g. too many stars on RR), it's over. Honestly, makes me glad that No-Skip runs don't rely as much on items.

[@BrockRidley-u2y]

So happy for you bro you are the master of this category for the past decade glad you have your record back

[@justinkidd7634]

Comgrats to Wario for second place in that last Grand Prix. Edit: and also to Abney for the world record.

[@PatSpeedruns]

You're an absolute legend bro! Congrats on the amazing run! Super impressive, this will go down in history ❤

[@triplemreno_resto]

Great job, Abney!! So happy I got to see this live!

[@d500dev]

The fact that this record has been up for almost a year really shows how well the RNG turned in your favor.
