The Quest to Beat abney317
New Summoning Salt speedrun history video! It's the story of a really dominant runner in the Mario Kart 64 community and the new game-breaking tricks that threatened to change up the scene. It's a long video, but Summoning Salt is always worth it.
Saving this for the right time to watch. SS videos are such a treat. Previewed the first 2 minutes and boy this looks like a good one!
I love these kinds of videos.
New skips all are interesting to see and learn about
I don't really care at all about speed running but for whatever reason SummoningSalt videos are always a must watch for me
He does a really good job of telling the story behind the runs. It's like a really good sports documentary.
Is it just me or does he edit the pacing of things to be so incredibly slow at progressing the story? (My first video watching of his. Like it doesn't need to be THIS long?)
He tends to have a fairly relaxed pace, which is helpful when he covers a game or run you know nothing about. But this one does feel slower than his usual. I think it may be that there just isn't that much back-and-forth in this story. Also, he seems to be experimenting with longer videos now that he's gone full-time on YouTube.
He did a video like this one with much better pacing in The Quest To Beat Matt Turk. And he's got some pretty good sub-30 videos as well, like 4-2: The History of Super Mario Bros Most Infinite Level. Those might be more to your liking if you're interested in speedrun history that goes a bit quicker (ha!).
Heh, well thank you for the info! Sounds like that YouTube push for more ads in longer videos seems to have made things generally worse as usual.
