Every Summoning Salt video is fascinating and well constructed. He really gets you engaged, even if you don't care or know anything about speed running.

Watched it 3 separate times last night whole navigating stressful sleep (due to old pet health issues),

I'd heard a bit about Tetris being broken to hell sometime last year, when they got to hyper tapping I thought that was the major revolution, I guess it has been revolutionized a couple times!

I wonder how that 6x champion guy felt watching the progression, it must've felt like taking your covered wagon to watch the rocket launch.

Unfortunately he didnt get to see it... He passed in 2021.

Thanks...

Tuesday was just a little too good wasn't it? Let's cherish seeing this 30 year old<1mb game get destroyed, it's probably better he didn't watch his score record be so thoroughly destroyed.

I can't recommend this enough.

Yeah this is maybe his best video yet!

I can't imagine being the original creator watching people demolishing your game like that 40 years on
