About

I Am Four Parallel Universes Ahead Of You is a quote from a TerminalMontage video which has been used as a reaction image to imply someone is thinking well ahead of their opponent. The quote is said by "Speedrunner Mario" in TerminalMontage's video, parodying Pannenkoek2012's video But First We Need To Talk About Parallel Universes.

On August 23rd, TerminalMontage uploaded an animation titled, "Speedrunner Mario VS Melee Fox – 1M Subscriber Special! – SOMETHING VERSUS." The video parodies Super Mario 64 speedrunners and Fox players in Super Smash Brothers Melee by depicting Mario and Fox in an anime battle. At one point, Mario gains the upper hand by exploiting parallel universes, and says "I am already four parallel universes ahead of you" (shown below).
