Summoning Salt, a prominent speedrunning historian, achieved a remarkable feat in the NES classic Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! by becoming the first player to defeat Tyson in under two minutes. Over five years and 75,000 attempts, Salt delivered an extraordinary performance, executing 21 frame-perfect punches and achieving remarkable luck needed to succeed. He detailed the fight's 'phases' and how his skillful dodging and Tyson's patterns were crucial to his success. Although he doubts his record will stand indefinitely, he takes pride in this achievement.
The fight is broken up into 'phases,' with Tyson's knockdowns marking the end of each phase.
Salt's video description explains the incredible amount of luck and execution required for the Mike Tyson fight.
I have no plans to ever improve this time...but am extremely proud to have gotten the first sub 2 ever on Mike Tyson.
I hit all 21 frame perfect punches (1/60th of a second) and got luck that has somewhere around a 1/7,000 - 1/10,000 chance of occurring.
