SummoningSalt livestreams his premieres on Twitch, which is nice if you’re a big fan of the channel since you get some live commentary from him in chat. You also get the classic Twitch experience with everyone shouting the same jokes (which I consider additive).
There’s a title card in the video that says something like “4 frames from perfection”. By the end of the video we learn that humans bring that down to 2 frames. It struck me (after seeing the video posted on YouTube and finally seeing the title) that this is a much better title than the one that was used. “Super Mario Bros: Two frames from perfection” has a much better ring to it.
Anyway, Salt deserves praise for the editing in this video. He’s getting much better with each video he releases.
I like this channel. It adds the human element without being over-the-top or drama-focused. Just friendly cooperation and collaboration between speedrunners and TASers. I'm a little confused about...

I'm a little confused about one thing from this video. In the final level, if was apparently discovered that double fast accelerations can save up to 5 frames (instead of the originally thought 1 frame). Does that not also change the TAS route? Or if the TAS was already doing this, then doesn't that imply this technique was already known to be faster?

Super Mario Bros.: only two frames from perfection, in a heck of a long time!
