I think he left himself out because he never pushed the record farther than what it was before like you yourself and others. Honestly would love to hear him talk about the runs he has done with punch out and how he got into speedrunning, what games he has run, etc. A summoning salt's speedgame hobby progression of sorts and what led him from running games to making progressions and the end being him saying if he still does runs or if he just makes content now.

Fun fact: The human reaction speed to sound is faster than sight. With enough good sound cues in the game, it's actually easier to react when you're focusing on sounds. I'm sure that helps a lil bit. People have ran tests with fighting game reactions to hearing characters do certain things, and noticing a slightly better reaction when specifically listening for the sound cues. It's interesting stuff.

Very interesting! I've never heard about it before.

@@skinnybuggo FUCK you beat me to it, well I might as well finish what you started. 250,000 subscribers and still growing the fact that we reached this number in such a short amount of time is just phenomenal i-im just amazed, thank you all so much for supporting this channel and helping it grow I-I love you guys, you guys are just awesome. so as you can probably tell this isnt really a montage parody, this is really more like a kind thank you / update video so in this video im quickly gonna go over two things: firstly advertisements, and more importantly : the future of this channel and what kind of direction its headed. okay so firstly, the advertisements. believe it or not but montage parodies are actually a copy right minefield new content is getting claimed every day. we could use something from.. lets say.. 5 years ago, and tommorow a huge company could come along and claim that video as theres and we have no control over that. and any video we use that product in could either get copy right stiked or lose monetizeation, meaning that all the money made from that video would get sent to the company, and not us. the only real way to counter this is to get advertisements placed on my channel, i mean its a win-win for everyone involved you know i get a safety net generated for myself and the company gets exposure and you guys, my sub subcribers, sit through a two second ad that will be as short and painless as possible, so next im gonna talk about the future of this channel, this doesnt mean in anyway that im actually quitting montage parodies, its basically why you subscribed to my channel and i enjoy making them and theres no reason to quit because im in full time education i have less time to make and upload videos it use to be weekly uploads and now its pretty much once a month but in my opinion uploading once a month isnt enough id like to upload more than that, i mean, as much as possible but montage parodies take a long time to make, collecting the resources, coming up with an original idea ya know, all this stuff takes time and planning and that combined with me being in education means that they take a while to make, a good video that goes into detail about this is rubber rosses video "future of independant animation on youtube" it is a different theme'd video because I dont do independant animation, but you can still kind of relate because uploads become more infrequent; channel traffic slows down this is why i want to make videos that are related to montage parodies, but arent exactly meta montage parodies, like I said before: im not quitting montage parodies, its basically seen as either you wait for me to upload one video a month or i upload one video a month with a bunch of you know, funny gameplay stuff in between. A great example of this would be counter strike global offensive but at the end of the day, its all down to you guys, you guys are my subscribers and id love to hear your feed back on what youd like me to do next, leave a comment below: your thoughts and ideas. Im gonna try to respond to as many comments as I can to this video. I would love to hear your feedback on what kind of videos youd want to see, any future ideas for the channel. I feel that because your subscribed to an extent, you're inclined to, you know, share your thoughts and ideas, and have a say on what i should do next, and its really appeciated guys. and lastly i want to thank you guys, thank you guys for helping this channel grow so quickly, in such a short amount of time I mean I started doing videos like these just over a year ago and i would have never expected my channel to grow so quickly in such a short amount of time just from montage parodies its amazing, you know ive been reading the comments and some of them have just been genuinly amazing ive been told people have depression and they find these videos you know therapeutic and have enjoyed them, and lifted their spirits and stuff and its just amazing how my videos can do that to people and that really motivates me to do more of these videos, and just thank you all so much for giving me this opportunity, it really-it really means a lot guys you have no idea, and lastly i want to give a shout out to all the people who helped make this video whether thats voice overs, animations, stuff like that. firstly we got Harvey Rothman he designed my youtube profile picture, and has also designed a what the fast intro for my channel, and its just amazing. i love his animation style he is just a really nice guy to talk to, be sure to subscribe to his channel, hes got an upcoming animation for five nights at freddys "foxy gets hooked", he does music production, hes all around a really good guy, next we got Hitlerspimp hes just so talent with SFM, he designed the intro for me, its unbelivable how talented he his, be sure to check out his videos, hes just amazing. and lastly check out creamforce for his sexy voice over he did in the video honestly he does a lot of montage parody esc videos, definintely check him out his videos are just amazing and he just has a great personality all around. and thats it guys thats all i wanted to explain, thank you all for sitting through this video and taking all the information in, dont forget to comment down below your thoughts and feelings, id love to hear your feelings on where to take this channel montage parodies are still coming, ive got at least 2 videos in the works right now and will be up very soon. thank you all again for a quarter of a million subscribers im just still amazed that we reached this number in just a short amount of time, thanks guys.

Punch Out is a fantastic game to play when you don’t have site. I am totally blind and have been since birth and it is probably one of the only Nintendo games I’m really good at. I know there was no video proof of me doing this because it was the late 90s, but in 1999 when I was 15, I actually manage to get up to Mr Sandman. I didn’t do it very quickly but I did manage it after practising for months. So I can totally understand how with the right amount of practice and strategies, the game could be beaten without having to look at the screen.

Summoning Salt is one of the best content creator on the platform. He shows the passion and heart from under-ground communities in depth while not skipping out on details. He is incredibly humble and through his videos you can tell he has the upmost respect for these communities. It's not every day that you see a content creator make a 40 minute video on a sub category for a game that is decades old. I was so glad when he made a Mario Kart WII video, as I knew the only big content creator that could do it justice was Summoning Salt. Thank you so much for enlightening me and everyone else on these communities... I guess what I'm saying is that you don't use shock as your main form of entertainment in your videos, it's sympathy; it's like watching a movie where you can relate to the main character. You show us the progression and illustrate what the communities / people felt during certain time frames in said game's development, the triumphs the players overcome, the tech discovery etc.. It's the type of feeling that gets you teary-eyed and get goosebumps. That's the feeling I wish was more encapsulated on KZbin.

I think what makes the AGDQ 2014 run even better was this was before Power Up Audio was involved. I hosted a few runs during that event, and the sound was awful. It was very hard to hear the runners to know when to read donations and all of that. The fact that there was no headphones to hear the specific audio cues like they have now is even more impressive. I remember too that there was a decent amount of sound that leaked into the streaming room if we were too loud outside. There was no guarantee that there would be silence. Crazy stuff.
