Mike Tyson from Punch-Out was defeated for the first time in less than two minutes

Summoning Salt says that Tyson gave him a “perfect pattern” here during his first phase of endless uppercuts, something that only happens 1 in 1,600 attacks. And later in the fight, the random generator of the game worked together by adding only 16 extra frames of delay (~ 0.8 in-game seconds) compared to a “perfect” run. Combined treasures Salling Salt that Tyson will only hit this once every 7,000 to 10,000 attempts.

“It's over,” said Summoning Salt Live on Twitch when the record match was completed, in a surprisingly even tone that came about what sounds very good like a fallen controller. “I thought I would be much more enthusiastic about this. Holy shit, guy! It's damn about … guy, am I dream now? … I'm sorry I'm so quiet. I'm nice in shock Now that has just happened. “

Where are we going from here?

With its almost perfect combination of both skills and happiness, calling Salt's new record surpasses its own previous world record of exactly 2:00 am on the in-game clock. That brand, only eight months ago, was only three frames free of displaying 1:59 on the in-game timer for the first time.

A striking salt was also the first runner to make the 2:01 barrier on Tyson in 2020, an achievement that he has only replicated 15 times in tens of thousands of attempts. “There is essentially no difference between all those [2:00.xx] Fighting and this, except that I got more luck from Tyson during this fight, “he writes.” Finally, after almost half a decade, the 1:59 happened. “

Ironically, just before he posted his first 2: 00.xx battle in 2020, the calling of Salt posted a video that partially discussed how difficult it was for Speedrunners to beat Matt Turk's record of 2007 from 2:13 on Tyson. “For years it was just so impossible that the top players just couldn't get close,” said Summoning Salt at the time. “Of course, other top players fought against Tyson years later, but their best efforts were short … they couldn't touch it. It was alone.”

Salling Salt is now just over a second of the Tool-Supported Speedrun record of 1: 58.61, which used emulated gameplay to combat a theoretical “perfect” competition every time. But after spending years on what he writes “is the biggest gaming performance I have ever achieved”, the calling of salt seems ready to hang his virtual boxing gloves for good.

“I have no plans to ever improve this time,” he writes. “It will be defeated by someone one day, probably by matching this fight and getting more happiness in phase 3. I am not interested in competing, but I am extremely proud that I have the first sub 2 ever on Mike Tyson got it. “
