Yes

That last quote: “So instead of saying something silly, like I think it will be over very soon and it’s been a crazy ride, I’m going to say that this game will never be over and the ride will only get crazier, and I am just participating in one small part of the middle of the ride and there are many talented people who helped build the ride before me and there’ll be many talented people who help finish off the ride after me.” – darbian 2016
So eloquent for being spoken in the moment.
“…one small part in the middle of the ride” is such a powerful line.
Carl Sagan-esque almost lmao
Amazing.
I miss darb, hope he’s doing well whatever he’s doing now.
That’s one small step for Darb… one giant leap for Darbkind.
As your archrival, I can attest that this video is Pretty Good. Also, what you chose to end the video on is absolutely perfect.
Shoot I gotta press A to like this comment.
THis is an amazing interaction
This is the type of arch-rivalry I need in my life lol
The world needs more rivalries like this.
I was hoping you would leave a comment haha
It’s sad that you can’t experience your own videos like the rest of us because they are truly masterpieces.
So real bro
The fact that I felt like there were no villains in this video is a testimony to your storytelling.
rng was the villain
@Don’t be so mad legit im at the point of begging for a TAS just to see the mechanical limit
Salt did mention his arch-rival, Bismuth9. I volunteer him as the villain of the story 🙂
@Tassle Next Video: The Quest to beat Bismuth9’s video about Wallglitching
*Except DK.*
I was really rooting for Abney to keep the record and seeing luck be his demise over and over was heartbreaking
Yeah, but his safe play in his most recent world record run just to ensure that he got the record instead of pushing his limits was probably a mistake. Easy to say in hindsight, but he should’ve maximized the potential of the single run where everything did go his way, pushed it sub 23, and it would still be his
@Lebrin JimsI disagree. In hindsight, we can say that sure, but what if he was risky and ended up making a mistake that cost him the run? Then we’d be saying he should have played it safe to ensure the world record.
@WingedBunny 100% true. We’ll never know
At 44:40 I could tell we were watching Kazuya’s run because his red shell setup looks different than Abney’s. That’s when I knew this video had me fully invested, lol!
The way he cuts so sharply inward, it’s like watching an elite pitcher. No shame in being a Justin Verlander or Max Scherzer when the Shohei Ohtanis or the Corbin Burneses come along.
Getting namedropped in a Summoning Salt video title is an honour only previously given to Matt Turk. Congratulations, abney317!
I say Matthias Rustemeyer gets an honorary spot on the list because the only reason his name isn’t in the title is because it isn’t easily readable
@ParkNPlaywell more like he could never accomplish his goal and then he retired due to Mark(or whatever his name is)
@ParkNPlay Is it really that hard to read? Even for native english speakers it shouldn´t be difficult.
Dan Burbank.
He was record hoarding and got the 32/32 NSC crown.
This was a time of glory for Dan, but a time of resentment for the other players, including Rustemeyer himself. As a result (as far as I know), all of his records were striked from the MKWRs website and he was forever banned because of that record hoarding incident.
I was lucky enough to meet Forest at this year’s PA Meet. Was truly remarkable hearing first hand accounts from him just across the table from me. An absolute legend!
love that we are in an era where these kind of discoveries are literally recorded IRL. so goddamn cool
