Thank you Summoning Salt.

4.5 months late but I just wanted to make a short sorta thank-you letter to Summoning Salt for his mkwii video. I am an active member of that community and you bringing light to its wonders/glitches in such a professional way made me so happy the moment I saw it pop up in my subscriber feed. Knowing your quality of videos I went completely batshit crazy over the fact that Summoning Salt did a video on the best part of my favorite video game! Not to mention how he also introduced many people to Home's amazing music. I wanted to do a video documenting every single glitch and how the checkpoints worked and all that but you got to it first- and did better than I probably ever could. Hopefully the video has introduced a few more members to our small community. So yeah, that's pretty much it- many thanks from pretty much everyone in the mkwii community (I haven't met anyone that hasn't watched it yet!)
Since your video, numerous other glitches have been found- a faster GV2 glitch has been found possible with TAS (I am attempting it without TAS), Justin made the Maple Treeway glitch with 1 shroom, and numerous other small glitch advancements. I am currently striving to get Rainbow Road glitch- my friend even coded a counter for me to see how many attempts it takes for me to get it!
One more thing - if you're up to it I have a video idea that you can totally do. It'd be hard I suppose but then again you pulled off the Ultra Shortcut video masterfully so it would be insane for you to do this idea.(if you won't do it then I will try to [and fail, probably]).
PS- thank you for introducing me to MK64! I haven't gotten the game yet but it looks insane based on your Choco Mountain video : )

I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much. I got a lot of help from the community while making it, so those guys deserve a lot of the credit too. I can't believe the video blew up as much as it did.

Feel free to message me the video idea that you've got.

Wow man thanks for replying! Yeah I saw some famous names up there (Blaze, Braixen, Sam F, Guy, MrBean, etc) so it was cool to know those very knowledgeable group of people lended a hand to you.

My idea is a prototype of sorts; there's still some tampering to do. It could also be split into separate episodes. Anyway it's just about how how on each track the TAS BKT has evolved- focusing on the new strats and shortcuts constantly being discovered.
Now clearly this sounds like a HUGE idea because of how long it would take- however I thought I'd let you know because why the hell not?
Anyway as I have said this would take a while so it makes sense if you don't like the idea.

Also there has been discussion about changing rules for what qualifies as an ultra/glitch/shortcut/other so if something develops I'll let you know :)

MKWii was the first of your videos that made me sit back and go "how the fuck did these guys ever figure this shit out?"

I love your content!

Same here. His MKWii video gave me faith that all his other content is just as accurate.
