Did Summoning Salt's narrative treat hotarubi and Matt Turk like The Ace?

The videos mention how they managed to accomplish way better times than any other speedrunner at the time, which stood for many years without anyone managing to beat them.

If we consider them The Ace, we could also add Matthias Rustemeyer, who came very close to holding the number 1 spot in every single non-shortcut category in Mario Kart 64 on several occasions.

Yeah, Salt's videos are documentary style, so as long as he portrays the speedrunners as The Ace in his narration, it should qualify- though of course it should be based around how the videos portrayed the situation, and less about the real-life basis.

Interestingly when I made the page there wasn't a whole lot of tropes on it because I was nervous about dipping into the "real life" boundary, but then someone came along and gave it a ton of expansion. Cool when that happens, as long as everything they added is legit.

Alright, I moved That One Boss to the main page with the [[invoked]] tag, and moved the best runners to The Ace. In the meantime, someone added an Ensemble Dark Horse example, which means that it shouldn't be cut (unless that example is incorrect).

EDIT: Also, I just thought of another Audience Reaction to add to the page, so yeah, it's probably not going anywhere after all.
