Since Mike Tyson’s blow was published on the NES in 1987, millions of players have millions of digital games against One of the most difficult video players ever: Tyson himself (or later, The rescinated “Mr. Dream”).
Only a small percentage of these players could survive Tysson’s flood from immediate clogdown-fuppercuts and result in the undisputed World Cup of the video boxing association as the winner. Even less Had fingers fast enough Take Tyson out in the first round.
In all this time, nobody could register a TKO on Tyson on the ubiquitous watch clock in less than two minutes (which runs about three times as quickly as a real -time clock). At least that was right until last weekend when the popular Speedrunner and Speedruns history Salt Pulled a 1: 59.97 Knockout after What he says were “75,000 attempts over almost five years”.
Breaking the two -minute barrier on Tyson is both incredible skills and incredibly unlikely happiness. As a sum itself began to document in a video from 2017If you receive the fastest possible Tyson-Tko, you have to reject 21 “frame perfect” blows in the entire fight in a six-six-time window. Punch too early and these blows cause a little less damage, which takes a little longer. Too late and Tyson will throw up a block and completely negate the blow.
A first -class Tyson Speedrun also requires a well -coordinated dodging and the ducking of Tyson’s own strokes so that the small Mac (the player character) can get back into the counter -doll as quickly as possible. Salzing says that he only took a seven frame of perfection in this regard, which cost about 0.35 seconds in the game in the course of the fight.
Despite this almost unsurpassed execution, the summon of Salt’s record run would have been too short, if not for inappropriate amount of luck from the game itself. As Wismuth explains in a 2024 videoTyson can hold between a fraction of a second and up to eight seconds between blows.
If you get the longest of these delays, you can hinder any chance of beating Tyson in the first round. But for his less than two minute TKO had to come down at least at least eight frames (~ 0.4 seconds on the clock).
Salzing says that Tyson has given him a “perfect pattern” in his first phase of endless uppercuts, which only happens 1 to 1,600 fights. And later in the fight, the random number generator of the game was added together with only 16 delay frames (~ 0.8 seconds) compared to a “perfect” run. In combined summoning of salt, Tyson estimates so quickly every 7,000 to 10,000 attempts.
“It’s over,” summarizes salt said live on Twitch When the record match was finished, in a surprisingly even sound that came over, which sounds very similar to a fallen controller. “I thought I was much more excited about it. Holy shit, age! It’s damn by … age, am I dreaming? … I’m sorry that I’m so quiet. I’m a bit shocked that this has just happened. “
With its almost perfect combination of skills and happiness, the summoning of Salt’s new record exceeds His own former world record Exactly 2: 00:00 on the clock in the game. This brand, which was set eight months ago, was first exhibited three frames of 1:59 on the timer in the game for the first time.
