Did not expect halo to be covered by the legend
The developers recognizing and even validating the speedrunning community of their game is just incredible.
Everyone needs a friend like Cryphon. Helps Zoo get good and then not only celebrates when he's overtaken by his friend, but encourages him to keep going until the sub 1:20. What a lad.

Listening to Cryphon talk about his friend surpassing him and encouraging him to keep going is so sweet. You can tell he wants him to succeed just as much. What a great friend.
24:10 my cousin learned to do this when we were kids. He destroyed us in LAN games (and we never updated the game, we didn’t know it was a glitch) So whenever he got a sword we were either dead or we’d have to all focus on killing him. None of us knew how he was doing it, either. Thank you for solving a childhood mystery for us
Friendly reminder that JerValiN is also the absolute legend that pulled off Deathless Halo 2 LASO No Envy Skull, one of the most legendary achievements in the game's history.
Seeing Cryphon talking up Zoo is honestly heartwarming. Good for everyone involved.
Celebrated so well. Exceptional content
God I don't know what I love more: the fact that 343 recognized/honored the speedrun community and even made the changes to Anniversary to bring the speedrunners back into the game or the way that Cryphon supported Zoo throughout his runs. It just all warms my heart, you love to see it so much.
Is it just me or have all the small improvements you’ve been adding over the years come together so perfectly here? The timeline showing all the records at once, the interviews with runners, not even with just the main record holder, but also with his mentor… smaller improvements in editing, and even stuff people nowadays take for granted nowadays like showing failed runs along with successful ones. All of that has come together perfectly in this to make what might just be the best video you’ve made thus far. Keep it up, this one is an absolute masterclass in your catalogue!
It's a testament to how brutal H2 is that speedruns aren't decided by having no deaths, but by trying to minimise the amount of deaths you have, because a no-death speedrun just feasibly cannot keep pace
Seeing Cryphon be so supportive toward Zoo was really really sweet. You could tell how much he wanted him to succeed
A huge draw to this channel to me is honestly how you can never predict what game is going to be covered next. The unpredictability is quite fun.
Massive shame that a lot of the earlier runs weren't recorded. It really sucks that Twitch doesn't automatically save past broadcasts forever like YouTube does. Deleting them after a couple months means we've lost so much good content
This was my childhood, and seeing it on summoningsalt of all channels... Thank you, Mr. Speedrun.
Tram skip is definitely the most aggressive time save strat I've ever seen
I was never allowed to play Halo as a kid, but over the past 2 years my friend and I have been co-oping legendary difficulty for the Bungie games in chronological order and goddamn these games are life changing. I can easily see why Halo 2 is a contender for best FPS of all time. It’s unreal. I graduated college last week and we beat Halo 3 the night before. Im tearing up thinking about it. I don’t have anything to say just felt like sharing
The ending to Summoning Salts videos never fails to give me full body goosebumps. It's like an ending to a very special moment. The build up is nothing I've ever seen. Countless hour's of people's lives. Celebrated so well. Exceptional content.
That mentorship between Cryphon and Zoo is beautiful. Sometimes seeing someone else achieve their goals, achieve their dreams, can be even sweeter than achieving your own.
