[@thewhitefalcon8539]

Imagine a bus that brings you to summoning salt's channel

[@grayfruit]

can't help but wonder if Niftski's use of a keyboard (and presumably an emulator?) has ever been a source of controversy... it's even mentioned in the video that the FFPG was nigh impossible on original hardware so I was kinda confused when that never came up again

[@roberthata6732]

It has, yes, even in this very comment section. Yet no one can deny he's the savant of Super Mario speedruns, he's demonstrated his skills in original hardware before. Removing his keyboard would be like removing fight sticks from the FGC in some way.

[@platinumhawke]

The only people that complain anymore are the uninformed. Niftski tied one of his older WRs with a controller on hardware, so his skills are legit. And most high level smb1 runners think using a keyboard is actually a handicap with how you input directions.

[@KoyasuNoBara]

Best part of watching fullscreen with the progress part invisible and having a poor sense of time is being able to be faked out, wondering if this is it... and then suddenly Summoning Salt says something that immediately results is _at least_ ten more minutes.
