"Trying for this for over 4 and a half years": Summoning Salt explains process behind setting supposed world record in Punch-Out!!
Summoning Salt is a YouTuber who dives deep into the history, world records, and obscure lore behind older games, such as Mario Kart DS, Tetris World, Super Mario 64, and others. Through a thread on X, Summoning Salt explained the effort it took for him to beat Mike Tyson in Punch-Out!!.
The YouTuber mentioned that it took him a whopping four and a half years to beat the in-game Mike Tyson character in this manner and that his in-game moves had only between one in seven to ten thousand chance of being successfully inputted within the timeframe required by the game:
"I've been trying for this for over 4 and a half years. This fight required 21 frame perfect punches (1/60th of a second), 10 frame perfect dodges, as well as luck that has somewhere around a 1/7,000 - 1/10,000 chance of occurring. It took me over 75,000 attempts."
Further, he stated that despite the possibility of the record being beaten one day, he would not like to pursue it any further as it would simply be based on the probability of him getting "luckier" towards the end of the fight with the in-game Mike Tyson:
"This record will be beaten one day, but I have no intentions of lowering it more. The main difference between this and a faster record would be getting luckier at the end of the fight."
