Summoning Salt

Summoning Salt is an American YouTuber known for his long, essay-style discussion videos of record histories and progressions. He is a former speedrunner.
==Videos==
Most of the videos are longer than 20 minutes, and the videos go into depth regarding the improvement of a particular game's speedrun world record. However, the earlier videos show Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! speedruns, and the videos show off the records he attempts. The videos have many forms of narration, but he switched to world record videos as his primary subjects. Most of the games are published by Nintendo, but this is not exclusively the case. Most of the earlier videos have episode numbers, but this has stopped in the more recent videos. The world record videos usually do not count TAS runs, but there are differences in PAL and NTSC versions of the game. However, TAS videos are sometimes used as part of the narrative, especially if they showcase a new strategy or route in a given speedrun that eventually gets used by a speedrunner.
