Real crappy name

That's why he will live forever

Would love to hear all of everyone's favourite ridiculous gamer tags, I'm getting some swagmasterdoritos vibes going on here.

I wanna see PS1 games get covered. Thumbs up so he can see.

Indeed. That name sounds like a Nickelodeon show or something.

Imma become a world class speedrunner just to name myself "poopsharter" and have summoning salt make a video entirely around that word

this comment made me giggle like a slut

If the category is popular and actively gets ran alot and almost optimized, then yes its impressive, if barely anyone has ran the category, then it's not impressive, I have over 120 WRS in categories that almost no one has ran, and there's obviously nothing impressive about my playing.

Best filler arc ever

Arcus coming in for the "You have become weak, join me, beat your personal best and finally rest." with reference to Arcus using more consistent methods to reach top 2. Then Jimmy going for the "I have come this far with my methods. I was a legend and I will be a legend again even if I shed blood! Even if I see no improvements for weeks, months, even years. I WILL WIN IN THE END!!!".

Jimmy on 10:07 - I killed it with my own two hands! Jimmy on final WR - I killed nobody... I have no enemies.

GreenSuigi said the same thing when he got his 16 star WR for SM64 and I've already called that he's gonna have a similar arc. Dude just needs some more competition at the top before he's humbled.

​@@funemployment5704MR also thought MK64 was dead when he was about to get his 32/32 but fate is cruel, he never saw the 32nd record and had to watch another man hold them all... In speedrunning, you better look behind you, cause you are the one who is getting chased

@@funemployment5704 As much as I agree and want these types to be humbled, Suigi is just on another level.

@@funemployment5704unlike suigi run, jimmy’s had a bunch of little mistakes. Suigi saying the game is dead is bc there isn’t room for improvements more than few milliseconds

He needed to be humbled before he achieved ultimate glory ❤️

Because the first time he really did kill it and achieved a clean WR, the second time it was a hard and long grind to beat someone with magic wall jump fingers.

​@@nickrodriguez3850But he had achieved ultimate glory the first time? He was done and satisfied, moved on from the game.

@@nickrodriguez3850 He didnt need to be humbled when he was right.

I guess he took it for granted the first time. He was so much better than everyone else at the time it might’ve just been a cold achievement. But the effort he put into getting back is insane

the closest i think, was the guy who fumbled a game killing run in one of the punch out games

First one wasn't subdued, it was egotistical... it honestly made me hate him alittle bit

@@justaguy934 It might also be a sense of relief. Like "Finally...its over!". Obviously its VERY hard to ACTUALLY kill a run in any game...but when the game is that hard and its niche and your that far ahead...its not unreasonable to say "someone could beat if it they put in the effort...but that's never gonna happen so the run's dead". TL;DR Don't take people's word so literately. Emotional connotations exist for different people even if the claim they make ends up being factually wrong later down the line...

@@Alienrun Please stop excusing egotistical behavior... it doesn't help anyone😒

@@justaguy934 As an extra anecdote, I've dabbled with speedruning a bit myself. (so what I said came from a place of understanding rather than guesswork) Someone else in this comment section replied with something similar...so I guess you could make the claim that all 3 of us are egotistical...but that's a bit of a stretch don't you think? Anyways...my goal is not to excuse egotistical behavior. My goal is to shed light on how multifaceted human motivation is...but even if you don't believe me outright...the effect of what I'm trying to get across to you is that your being too black and white with the process by which you assume one's intent is egotistical in the first place...which if you decide to double down on...is ironically also egotistical! TL;DR (again) Saying "Finally its over!" after getting a WR is a very normal reaction to have. Its not exactly the same as saying "The run is dead" but the emotional connotation has a lot of overlap. If I were to get a bit personal for a second...I have to ask...why does this bother you so much? I'm not trying to shame you...I'm genuinely curious to know why you feel so personally about this...

@@Alienrun Why do I care about this so much?... you're the one who wrote a whole essay, I wrote barely 2 sentences😐

Closed the video with perfection.

That ending got me

Pure poetry

Summoning Salt is such a good storyteller. :)

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 and his name is Jimmy Poopins

Same, that final line had me smiling so hard

His story really inspired me. I'm a firm believer that repetition leads to perfection, and to see Jimmy's dedication and persistence pay off resonates with me. I have so much respect for him.

almost every vid brings me to tears x) is this what getting old is hahaha

Yeah I totally feel you. It felt like the urge to smile and to cry fought inside me.

Bro's making me care about a guy named Jimmypoppins nerding over a game I have no interest in. That's true power and raw talent!

It's perfect to sleep. I "saw" some videos dozens of times and never saw the video itself

Had you truly never heard of "Ninja Gaiden 2" before?

@juananz007 never. I'm not really into these kinds of games, I just love how SummoningSalt tells the stories. I've heard of mario kart and super Mario 64 of course, but not many outside of those honestly

if it helps the main character from this game is also in every dead or alive

same. only game i played in all of this was super mario 30 years ago 😂 summoning salt just have a way of telling stories that pulls you in no matter what.

That's what actual martial arts are like lol: marginal improvements over years of dedicated practice

Agreed. Arcus is such an awesome guy to see in these videos. I wanna be buds with him 😂

That one moment where everything is cropped out but his mustache

I legit cheered

A speed running legend !

Arcus is so chill and such great "overall speedrunner"! And we love that hat! He's truly a legend!

Yeah, this line, and that fucking music?..hits hard man.

🔥✍🔥

@@ericschuster2680he knew damn well that line was gonna hit hard

I cried, man, I cried...

Those grinds of running every day can get exhausting, especially since it's basically just playing in a time loop, restarting every time you fail something or finish without reaching goal. Last time I saw such a grind, it was Kanno on 16 Star. It wasn't as long, but a non-stop stream of over 3000 hours is still pretty nuts.

Was Ninja Gaiden 2 ever one of the games you speedran seriously before you concentrated on the few that you do now?

@@apollolux I played and ran the Punchout games first, but I did pick up learning Ninja Gaiden II for that tournament that was mentioned briefly in the video. There were tons of people who had so much experience with the game, so I didn't stand a chance lol, but it was a lot of fun!

@@zallard1 Groovy stuff! I only ever played NG2 casually as a kid and didn't have the dexterity back then to get past the fourth stage, so it's one of those games like SMB1 and Zelda 1 that haunted me for years until finally beating it for the first time as an adult.

​@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2no

I’m glad nobody heard me say “LETS GO POOPINS!!”

Jimmy really be poopin

He was also for the longest time having a Bob Saget picture in his stream layout. Usually that would be considered strange, but for some reason it worked

It's hard to explain. I don't even speedrun, but summoning salt has a way of capturing the beauty of these moments that drive me to emotions.

@@Pandaman64 Exactly!

I find it meaningless. On the one hand, I grant that all human pursuits are essentially meaningless in the "little blue dot" sense. But beating beating boring old side-scrolling video games fast by exploiting glitches is the bottomless abyss of meaninglessness. I'm not saying it's not hard - it seems impossibly hard. But the challenge is not so much one of hand-eye coordination, attention to detail, and determination (of course it is those things too), but more so having the patience to slog through endless hours of executing the same mind-numbing patterns over and over and over again. Looking for new timesaving patterns seems moderately less boring. The whole thing just sounds totally exhausting in a soul sucking existential way. I cannot imagine that any person wouldn't find mastering an instrument or some other art form to be more rewarding. All this being said, I am (mostly) neurotypical and this speed-running world seems suited more for autistic minds.

@@lashankuanetteshesothicc4242 I would say something about how part of the phsycological meaning that people accosiate with speedrunning has to do with games being an interactive form of expression...but that's kinda stretching it... Its funny you mention your neurotypical...I'll admit I have autism...I've dabbled with speedrunning a little bit and musical insturments...and let me tell you your analogy is kinda bad (no offense lol). I should clarify that I personally found speedrunning to be pretty boring/frustrating a lot of the time...at best I get a sense of "relief" that the grind is over if I managed to get the time I wanted. With instruments I get more out of composing a song, but that requires inspiration...in which case can be attributed to any creative endeavor...as for actually playing an instrument... I'll be honest...its no different logistically from playing a video game. You press buttons in a certain order to make sounds. Its like a game but you remove the game and replace the video with sound. But I just noticed you typed "other art form" so maybe that's where the key is...but then again...as I just realized by typing this... I've been trying to make yt vids for a while now...long story short I'm doing horrible at it, too insecure to make anything I'm content with. Tho the speedrun video I have up I have zero regrets...because that video is all effort no gimmick...you can see clearly the results of said effort...I don't feel like I'm hiding anything with it, thus no shame can be attatched to it. TL;DR Sometimes things that seem meaningless/impersonal are actually personal/meaningful in ways that aren't obvious on the surface. Its easy to look at something like "anti social math that reduces interactive art into a mindless grind" to be meaningless but there's a beauty in the journey that gets you there...even if its just for that individual. I think that's the key...its meaningful for the individual...otherwise they wouldn't do it...I know that sounds cheesy but I'm starting to realize how true that is! (as an extra acecdote I do generally perfer grinding a fighting game over a speedgame...but its hard to consistantly find people to play with who are on your level...lol :P)

​@@bobby3ebmy thoughts exactly

Man you need to brush up on the classics ! 😋

how do you not know that Ninja Gaiden exists wtf

I'm not sure I agree with chalking his saying that the game is dead up to ego. I think I'd catch myself saying something similar if I stuck a run that has a shelf life of at least 2 years if not more at the top. Little reason not to when you're in a league of your own, in a game whose speedrunning scene is sizeable but by no means massive and there's no one pushing your WR. There's other ways to get dethroned out of the blue like the discovery of a new strat or the emergence of a prodigy like beco but both of those are inherently unpredictable and hardly worth staking your money on. Hence why I doubt jimmy truly meant to imply the game's never seeing another WR, if he was though then it is indeed a fool's errand that never goes well for the person running it lol.

You are at 1 69 likes…..nice….

Sorry if I'm wrong, but the way I saw the masterfully done ending of the video, at the end the quest to beat Jimmy wasn't to be taken by Beco, but by Jimmy himself. To stretch that to say that he did it just because of Beco, for me, doesn't cling.

@@Rafael_Oiticica if it wasnt for beco, the record would've been at 10:07 for years, as JP stopped playing until he was beaten
