Forest64 is a badass - discovers new gamebreaking shortcut - sends to abney even tho he never participated in his streams - leaves without elaborating further
-
A shortcut being discovered in the 90s and not being globally known until 2020 is insane
-
Abney did a sub 23 yesterday: 22:58.68 in a magnificent run The goat, simply
-
Salts you got me so stressed and sympathetic for Abney. I didn't even know he existed till 35 minutes ago
-
I love how Garret was sitting on that Rainbow Road skip for decades because he thought the community knew already.
-
Getting namedropped in a Summoning Salt video title is an honour only previously given to Matt Turk. Congratulations, abney317!
-
It’s incredible how quickly this record is changing, just a month after this video releases, Abney gets a 22:58!
-
I swear, this guy could talk about the history of Post-It notes and find a way to make it dramatic & interesting
-
As your archrival, I can attest that this video is Pretty Good. Also, what you chose to end the video on is absolutely perfect.
-
that beginning with abney's sarcasm about the guys discovery due so seeing so many beforehand slowly changing into absolute shock is absolutely priceless
-
Imagine how alive it must make you feel to have someone take your record after 7 years, knowing that you can take it back if you work hard enough. To get to be the hunter instead of the hunted. It must feel like getting to discover speed-running all over again.
-
Abney just took back the record with a 22:58!!!
-
I've never been so excited to watch a blue dot compete against a red dot in a game I barely play.
-
The fact that the Rainbow Road shortcut went undiscovered for over 2 decades because the guy who found it just assumed it was already known is nothing short of incredible Makes me wonder just how many other speedrunning discoveries are hidden in the same way
-
Kazuya has just hit a world record of 23:13.35 since this video released. Legend
-
Update: abney317 took the WR back a week ago with a time of 22:58. Yes, the first sub-23 minutes. What a legend.
-
Abney is probably the most patient speedrunner out there. Always takes disappointment extremely well. That's why he's my favorite.
-
That last quote: "So instead of saying something silly, like I think it will be over very soon and it's been a crazy ride, I'm going to say that this game will never be over and the ride will only get crazier, and I am just participating in one small part of the middle of the ride and there are many talented people who helped build the ride before me and there'll be many talented people who help finish off the ride after me." - darbian 2016

The indomitable human spirit at it again. These guys are seriously nuts for this continuous grind. Mad respect.
