Summoning Salt Took 4 Years and 75,000 Attempts To Defeat Mike Tyson
According to Summoning Salt, it took him an incredible four and a half years to defeat the in-game Mike Tyson character in this way. Moreover, his in-game actions had a one-in-seven-to-ten-thousand probability of being put in successfully within the game’s time limit. He said:
“I’ve been trying for this for over 4 and a half years. This fight required 21 frame perfect punches (1/60th of a second), 10 frame perfect dodges, as well as luck that has somewhere around a 1/7,000 – 1/10,000 chance of occurring. It took me over 75,000 attempts.”

Furthermore, he noted that, despite the chance of the record being broken in the future, he would not like to pursue it any further. Additionally, he said that it would merely be reliant on the probability of him becoming “luckier” near the finish of the fight with the in-game Mike Tyson. He added:
“This record will be beaten one day, but I have no intentions of lowering it more. The main difference between this and a faster record would be getting luckier at the end of the fight.”
