The Complete History of Sandbag's Home Run Contest World Record

[@PracticalTAS]

[Due to a significant number of audio quality complaints, u/Notherin on reddit offered to help caption the video. His help is greatly appreciated, and the captions are now on by default. Thank you u/Notherin!] So it turns out that this video isn't actually a "complete" world record history, as there's a sandbag 97.1 foot run buried deep in a home run contest compilation video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHTVmnWHf9Njm80 I'm just glad I was able to beat that record while filming for this video, it would've been very embarrassing to figure out that all of this hard work went to waste.

[@jongyon7192p]

That's actually A REALLY good attempt considering it was 6 years ago! Glad ypu beat it! Hope there's a sandbag hrc TAS

[@ThePyschicBuzz]

Practical TAS you forget Melee players have no limit

[@damirrorlink]

Funnily enough I was lucky enough to grab the video waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when part 100 of the HRC was posted on GameFAQS way way way back in the day, the video was actually probably from around 2007-ish or so, it was before Brawl came out. It was right after Joe came into the scene and started just demolishing the records but right before SiN came in and demolished THOSE records.

I love how you plugged summoning salt for “the real thing” but now in 2020 you have one of the best speed run progression history videos of all time in your peach break the targets video ❤️❤️

[@lagalil]

7:18 wait this was a parody?!? I was too invested in this man

[@jamieyakimets839]

lagalil I legitimately thought this was just a really niche hrc video until the end... my emotions

[@pezpro4946]

What a plot twist

[@dasty3314]

wait are you sure this isn’t a real run but just a parody of another channel?? i really hope

[@duncetheman]

This is a real record, the video format itself is a parody

[@pokepress]

I figured a Summoning Salt parody would be something that covered some horrible game and the twist at the end would be a Wargames-esque conclusion that the best winning strategy would be to not turn the game on at all, resulting in a 0:00 speedrun.

[@SinYue]

i've been playing hrc for almost 20 years now andi never realised there wasn't a sandbag hrc yet theoretically a lot more should be possible with phantom hit batdrops, but i doubt it's human.

[@LunaDachi]

SinYue When hungrybox manages to get two phantom rests in a row, I start to doubt the phrase humanly impossible.

[@CannonRed]

Dachi T. I think you mean M2K with 2 phantom Rests in a row.

[@Rev0care]

First we need to talk about bat drops ;)

[@Check_5_]

Brook Chipman II A bat drop is a bat drop, you can’t have half a bat drop

[@TheRealPunkachu]

Well Chugga Chugga """""""""""""""""Henry"""""""""""""""" Choo Choo...

[@doublespoonco]

Were gonna use a technique called "sandbag transportation"

[@rawtrout007]

I have an idea, at the last "nudge" before dropping the bat, push sandbag OFF the platform and immediately jump and drop the bat. The bat will hit sandbag from a greater distance and also sandbag will have started further to the right than before

[@CrystalHakurei]

I would switch to NTSC-J so you could use meters, and have a longer platform. Then 5 drops sounds much more possible.

Summoning sandbag

[@RickRaptor105]

I randomly stumbled upon this after watching your Peach Break the Targets video. Really cool to see and hear how much your recording and editing skills have improved.

[@jamieyakimets839]

This was a remarkably niche yet remarkably fascinating video. I can't wait to see how the meta evolves in the coming months. #summerofsandbag

[@tabbris]

1:28 "you know what this means right?" Me: *deep sigh*... Yes...

[@metleon]

Sandbag builds up damage on itself for 10 seconds to go 100ft. in HRC.

[@JeffReeves]

This was great. I feel like for a first video in a series this was well paced and felt captivating. It'd be great to come back to this subject months or a year from now and make it a parody of all the detailed world record progression videos that Summoning Salt makes.

[@ShiningSilvally]

Get to over 50 feet with this method, you have my attention. Double that distance, you have my respect. Well done, bro. If you break this record again, I'll be watching.

[@SmashCrafter321]

Have you tried utilizing fast falls and short hops?

[@solomonshemano7885]

Ω SmashCrafter Ω sandbag doesn’t have a jumpsquat animation which is required for short hops

[@garedbi]

And it looks like he can't short hop, he can only go to the highest

[@SmashCrafter321]

But what about fast falls to reach the ground quicker?

[@AlbySilly]

If I had the access to the game and codes I'd love to experiment with it

[@Juanus14]

try watching the video, he is doing it already

[@MC_Bebop]

It's surprising that you were that dedicated to accomplish your goal. Not bad. GO SANDBAGS! Anyone?

[@naturada137]

Really cool, das dedication. Would you consider getting a slightly better mic w/ more clarity? Some issues understanding words here and there. Otherwise great though.

[@PracticalTAS]

Definitely looking to improve mic quality, that's the number 1 piece of constructive criticism I seem to be getting.

[@comeauu]

you're also speaking quietly, a little more energy and volume in your voice will help as well. Great content though.

[@zelivira]

raise your microphone volume like a lot also get one that doesnt need so much noise filtering

[@PracticalTAS]

Will be fixed for future videos. Thanks for the feedback.

[@tophatx4598]

I liked the video! I have one bit of feedback though, besides the mic problems that other people are suggesting. For any given attempt (except the last one) you kept spoiling how far the bag gets hit before we actually see it. Maybe you should wait to say the distance until we see it, so that there is a bit of suspense. Cheers!

[@PracticalTAS]

Noted, thank you. I was curious about whether anyone would be bothered by that.

[@Ninjaberry17]

Your channel really reminds me of summoning salt and I like u a lot and the fact that u clearly put effort and time into your videos and the fact that u are humble enough to recommend another youtuber saying that there better than u with no shame whatsoever is kinda impressive in a weird way and that’s something that is noteworthy in a youtuber; their humbleness Btw sorry for how weird and cheesy this sounds

there is a tas for everyone but sandbag at the moment giga bowser, male wire frame, female wire frame already have a record. i'm think master hand and crazy hand also had a score but the game crashes at the end if i remember it correctly.

[@trekrios7187]

One of the fundamental rules of movie making: show, don't tell. You say "96.7 feet" at 5:12, which doesn't appear on screen until 5:30. Anyone watching & listening has to wait 18 seconds while knowing what's coming and it really just kills the video.

[@gracef.1271]

Positive feedback: this is really entertaining and I love the fact that you not only thought of this but put in the effort to optimize it. Negative feedback: your voice is very soft and somewhat indistinct. I would suggest speaking up, making adjustments to your mic, and/or subtitling your videos.

[@MopedOfJustice]

Personally I liked his narration. I think for the purpose of satire he didn't really sell his determination in his intonation, but for the sort of thing that you'd normally expect him to narrate on this channel it's perfectly fine.

[@LoLRyku]

Grace F. If he just had a higher quality mic, the softness of his voice would fit perfectly into this kind of video imo

[@PracticalTAS]

Thank you :) Definitely going to make mic adjustments and speak louder, I hope I don't need to resort to subtitling.
