The History of Mega Man 2 World Records

This is a reupload - I’m sorry for any confusion. It is the same as my last Mega Man 2 video, but with all profanity censored. In case you haven’t heard what happened, my last video was age-restricted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs_7crdHpbo. I cannot disagree more with YouTube’s ruling on this.

"You cant keep Cyghfer from Rock Man 2." And on this very day... Cyghfer achieves the top spot. 26:32.4, a new world record!! CONGRATS CYGHFER!!!

cyghfer reobtained his world record back this November 2022. He never gave up this grind and I don't think he ever will. Congrats.

Imagine making this video, spending hours writing and editing it, going thru all the BS around the age restriction, and then Cyghfer coming along and beating the record shortly after the video is released.

It's crazy to think how little time was reduced from when Ureta's run was submitted to where it is now.

Crazy how many of these speedruns practically have their own story arcs and protagonists. Art really does imitate life

The whole demonetization headache sucked, glad to help get this one back on track!

Beating a record you’ve been attempting for months, on the absolute last run, on a competition stream. Legend.

Every time Summoning Salt posts a video, I tell myself that It's worth paying the internet today. His content is unrivaled and unique with a great storytelling. Keep it up!

Salt you set the standard for high quality video game content, and this is your best documentary yet. It needs to get on trending again so more people can see it!

Re-watching this video because it deserves it. Your determination is respectable for everything that happened to the original video.

i stumbled upon your channel while i was in the mental hospital. your videos honestly helped me through some tough times, now i usually listen to them to help me fall asleep. thank you summoning salt, for all your hard work!

If there's a silver lining to the awful age restriction situation, it's that I, and hopefully more people like me, found your content through hearing about it. I watched because I like speedrunning and wanted to give the video support, but now I'm sticking around because wow, you're an amazing documentary maker! This had me as emotionally invested as a movie. Well done! 👏

Your work is valued, even if YouTube doesn't quite realize it. You have a gift in storytelling as a documentarian.

Lets get this back to Trending #1. IT DESERVES IT

You're a fantastic content creator man, I'm sorry you have to suffer YouTube's terrible bureaucracy. This video definitely deserves the #1 trending spot.

Something about cypher's comeback literally brought tears to my eyes. It's a metaphor for the human spirit and how people fight uphill battles and how sometimes we can get unexpected grace

I think Cyghfer's relation of his Chase the Record run is unfathomably insightful. State of mind is ridiculously important. On that day, he was fully at peace with the possibility of failure but also fully believed he had the ability required to succeed. That's the state of mind you need to perform at your fullest potential, and it's all but impossible to call upon it on demand. It's blood-boilingly tragic that this is the video to get fucked by arbitrary profanity rules because this is a masterpiece.

Cyghfer truly does feel like a speedrunning hero. Whether or not he ever pulls off his perfect run, he's still going to be immortalized as a legend of Mega Man 2

Stellar storytelling, I was hooked from beginning to end. And the graphic representation of WRs is a very nice addition !
