Punch-Out speedrunner “took 75,000 attempts over nearly 5 years” landing 1-in-10,000 luck and 21 frame-perfect punches to finally beat Mike Tyson in under 2 minutes
Punch-Out speedrunner SummoningSalt has spent half a decade focused on the goal of beating Mike Tyson in under two minutes. It took over 75,000 attempts, but he’s finally beaten one of the most notoriously difficult bosses in video game history in just one minute and 59 seconds.
If you’ve ever had any interest in speedrunning, you’ve probably seen some of SummoningSalt’s popular YouTube videos on the scene, documenting world record chases across various games in great detail. He’s also an accomplished speedrunner in his own right, holding numerous records in Punch-Out and dominating the NES classics overall record since 2016.
