David pulling the most gamer move by gambling all his coins to get sub 19 hours for 1 trophy is the most clutch thing I've ever seen. Congrats on the speedrun record
-
it’s happened multiple times at this point, but i always get so hype when a speedrun documentary video pulls the “the newest runner………. was me.” move
-
Pretty sure I'm up to like 17 years in my run now. Should probably get around to finishing
-
“Heck it. Let’s roll the dice.” WHAT A LEGEND
-
44:28 I’m pretty sure Armada was making a joke that he was trying to speedrun “all trophies” by winning as many melee tournaments as possible there lol
-
Something that's nice about long runs like these is that while every second can still count, recovering from mistakes is a lot more possible than say, a 20 minute run. Grats man that's a crazy achievement for any runner
-
If watching Summoning Salt's taught me anything, it's this; No run is exempt from being refined to incredible degrees. In time, I'm sure we'll learn new ways to tackle the coins process, the overall play of the game, tech to make things go faster, etc. The category's still so young, and has a LOT of room to grow. It's an intimidating category, but one I'd love to see grow over time. Can't wait to see how this one develops! Good job, and great video!
-
Absolutely insane. Despite all the hard work and dedication you put into this, that 25% chance gamble is the most incredible part of it. You could have played it safe and still got the world record, but now you're a legend.
-
I'm somewhat surprised Melee's "You got all trophies" message and Diskun unlock requirements work as intended, considering the facts that there are actually 293 trophies in Melee (including "Samus Unmasked", "Mario & Yoshi", and "Tamagon"), and there are actually 256 bonuses in the game, with the other seven being unused (those being "Barrel Blast KO", "Crash & Burn", "Deflector", "Green Shell Shooter", "Poolshark", "Red Shell Shooter" and "Ricochet Rifler"), at least according to TCRF.

I know this is unrelated to the (really well-covered & interesting) video content, but please know it means the world to me & other viewers that benefit from closed captions that you captioned an ENTIRE 47 minute long video - even with indicators that help with context. Incredibly based move on your end, man. Thanks.
-
this video is outstanding. Heck it let's roll the dice is such a chad moment. Excellent presentation and documentation man!
-
I think Amsa is the most wholesome human in the world.
-
One thing I would know for a TAS run: when you create a new save, the game gives you a free (lottery) trophy. For the TAS, the free trophy that would be most beneficial is Birdo, to instantly get Mushroom Kingdom II.
-
I'm actually super curious as well what a TAS of All Trophies would look like how many coins can be gotten with Dash Dancing every frame in a minute? how many trophies and which ones would be gotten in the first Adventure Mode run? which characters would be used for what scenarios?
-
I've uploaded a full guide on this run with notes, spreadsheets, etc. on my Bonus channel: https://youtu.be/4VIZAu13c_A
-
"At the end, the current world record holder will share their most clutch moments." brilliant foreshadowing
-
"Ya know, I'm pretty close to sub 19..." My heart skipped at that. Really glad it payed off for you, this shit is wild.
-
Oh my god this is the most unhinged run I've ever seen in my life
-
I love these speedrun documentaries from people so deep into specific communities/categories
-
I'm new to this channel, but I really like that you're reaching out and hearing each runners' povs and personal experiences. Amazing way to get the real story. Straight from the original source.
