** His refusal to take on games he lacks familiarity with. Some think it's fine since it means Salt will be more adept at what he's covering. Others think he is limiting himself because of a problem that could easily be solved by reaching out to speedrunning community leaders. After Barrier Skip, long regarded by many as the Holy Grail of not just ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'', but speedrunning itself, was solved, this only heated up, since Salt not playing much ''Zelda'' (other than the earliest ''Zelda'' games) means he won't address one of the biggest breakthroughs in speedrunning. Despite making videos about ''Franchise/{{Mario}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' for example, he has yet to make videos about ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' for example, despite ''Kirby'' games primarily being in the same genre, made by the same company (though ''Kirby'' is co-owned by HAL Laboratory alongside Nintendo), and are on the same platforms as ''Mario''.

On the other hand, his tunnel vision ''and'' his relatively low output (about a half-dozen videos per year) have enabled many other content creators to get into what might otherwise be considered his niche and do quite well for themselves.

[[labelnote:Explanation]]Many games on the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, most notably ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', check to see if the player has completed a level every several frames as opposed to every single one, something speedrunners have dubbed the "frame rule" system. Top-level ''Super Mario Bros.'' runner darbian once compared it to waiting for a bus; if you get to the stop right before a bus is about to arrive you'll barely have to wait at all, whereas even if you got there just a little too late, you'll have to wait for the next one to come, and the amount of time you can save is dependent on which of these "buses" you catch. Since Salt wants to explain frame rules for any new viewers who aren't familiar with them he'll reference this analogy whenever the subject comes up in a video, which has led fans to treat it as his OnceAnEpisode {{Catchphrase}}.
