      Thanks Summoning Salt I just finished the video and you take something that seems trivial such as Wii Sports speed runs and tell the story in such a way that at the end you actually felt the heartache and the impact of that last missed putt. My heart actually sank and I was like damnnn. My wife was like what is wrong as I was listening with headphones on the couch. I told her this guy missed a putt in Wii golf and she looked at me sideways lol. Thanks for everything bro!!!

      The time for the miis to turn around and throw to first after the grabbing the ball changes depending on how far they have to stretch for the ball, so it's different every time. Miis stretching for the ball also changes the time for out to display on 1.0, so there is never a 'constant' time to compare against.
      There is also random lag that can occur in Bowling and Golf when striking / hitting rock walls and doing ds that is extremely prevalent in 1.1.
      To compensate, a few months ago a version variable was added to the board, meaning that players can filter runs to include just 1.1 runs, meaning there is a psuedo-seperate leaderboard.

      His first speed run he submitted for the category was an 8:38.850 on May 12th 2023. He submitted 8 more runs over the next 7 months when he finally managed a sub 7 run. His previous run before that held 4th place for a day if I am reading the leaderboard right. Mr_Shy_Guy could’ve been the first sub 7 if he had 1.0 but it wouldn’t have held up against RyMacG4. RyMacG4’s account was only a few months old without a run to his name when this video was made.

Like everything from an "Eephus pitch" to an immaculate inning, literally every opportunity to talk about baseball the terminology and references are on point! I played ball for most of my life, and either so has Summoning, or he put in a ton of effort into this video that is being glossed over. Really appreciate the extra details!

      I wanted to chime in here and give kudos on the terminology as well, and mention that in real golf a similar rule exists as to what the community came up with. The ball must remain in the hole to be considered holed even if it's already hit the bottom of the cup on a bounce. Also, if the ball is trapped between the pin and the lip of the cup, it is not considered holed unless a portion of the ball is below the level of the green. Otherwise, you have to pull the pin to see if the ball will fall in or stay on the edge of the cup.

    Summoning Salt is really good at storytelling. I started this video with a bemused "competitive Wii Sports? Haha, sure. How does _that_ work?" mood and I ended the video with a heartbroken "sub-7 minutes was there, it was possible, it was *real* for a fleeting moment..."
    I appreciate the choice to end on a hopeful note, reiterating that a pace like that has been seen before, and will be seen again. Normally in these kind of speedrunning analysis videos, you only see the one successful run, and don't see the hundreds of failed attempts it took to get to that point. And putting the spotlight on the struggle (instead of the triumph) makes the story feel more relatable, more human.

    If they're willing to do the complicated chip-in rulings, you'd think it would be simple to just remove the extra cutscene time from 1.01 submissions; kinda similar to the PAL vs. NTSC adjustments for Mario Kart. At the very least the starting cutscene could be accounted for, and surely it'd do wonders for accessibility.

Every game has it to some degree, but Mario 64 is the most obvious example, especially after a bunch of runners went out of their way to demolish the Emu and Virtual Console records out of spite while shitting on the efforts of everyone who ran in those categories. It _literally killed_ the competition on those versions for *_years._* People only just started logging records on them again about two or three years ago, and before that there was a five-year drought.
