- Time for something completely different!
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 has a rich speedrunning history that most don't know about. Seeing as AGDQ is this week and I've been a HUGE fan of Summoning Salt for a long time, I thought I'd pay homage and explore the speedrun history of a game very close to my heart.
I want to extend a massive thank you to the MK Speedrunning Community. They've been a massive part of this video being possible, especially TKK, who has been a non stop treasure of good information.

Worth noting that the Wolfmame INP wasn't introduced because any top runners were cheating, it mostly came down to new runners coming out of the woodwork and submitting faked runs. Users that haven't submitted a INP time since it was introduced have simply just not been running the game since!
I really do want to extend a huge thanks to the MK Speedrunning community for being so helpful. I was involved for a few years but there were a lot of blank spaces that needed to be filled. Couldn't have done it without them!
I'll be posting the Discord link as soon as I have it.
Hope you enjoy this unique piece of MK history!

byspeed is a brazilian famous streamer (and unbeatable in snes/n64 mk's) who beat down lots of records before but people also called him cheater just because his records were much better than the actual ones, even if no one could prove it he cheated (guess why? because he didn't)
I hope it's not about him you're talking about 'fake runs', because they was banned from speedrunnning just for solely being much better than his competition, i saw him playing live and anyone who thinks he's fake should just check his channel (if it's not about him you spoke about, you should check it anyway because he's so good)
@@KyomaGaming I wasn't talking about Byspeed. The comment you've just replied to clearly states byspeed and parallax weren't the players in question.
Byspeed isn't banned by any means. He's absolutely welcome to keep submitting runs using inp verification.
I love the guy. We worked together on the South American portion of my Trilogy MK Meta.
I wouldn't use cheaters on the video If it's about covering the true history. Everybody in this video is legit.
@@PNDKM oh guess i misunderstood it then xd
great to know! just said because he said a while ago that speedrun websites weren't accepting any submissions from him anymore, but that was a while ago, i'll try to let him know that because i'm not sure he knows he's not banned (at least from what i got, he felt like he was banned)
otherwise my bad for commenting before watching the actual video x) sometimes we do stupid things in internet, im guilty
Love your content, keep up the great job :)
@@KyomaGaming he isn't banned at all! He's encouraged to resubmit runs using wolf mame inp because it's just the community standard now 😊👊
This is gonna sound weird but i love listening to these kind of MK videos while I sleep. It’s so chill and informative ya feel me
Bro same here
Got that Animal Planet commentary feel. So damn relaxing
Same dude
I feel ya
oh man i'm glad to read that, i always thought i was weird to listen to this kind of videos to be relaxed and get asleep but it looks like it's not that weird.
Glad to see Jade's A.I. used against her. I've never had a woman take so much of my money in all my life.
5371W
I think she met her match with my ex lol
5371W ikr lol🤣
Haha, Jade has destroyed many of my SEGA joysticks
Best way to best Jade is baiting or chipping. Find out which input gives a certain response then defend and combo off of that. I've been beating mk3 since the nineties on Sega as a kid.
Haha liked your comment! Jesus, I think I formed a high heel fetish how many times Jade would run then just go vertical with a high kick to the face... So unfair! Lol
The coin door skip is technically the first instance of "pay to win" mechanics
My last two braincells when I'm in the shower.
Wdymean??
U sure it's not just quarters to continue playing in arcade games?
The Netherrealm
Good joke, but Double Dragon III got there first.
no one's gonna talk about the transition in 7:01???
it looks so cool!
Yeah it was pretty smooth
There is now a third sub-category: no major exploits (NME). It bans both the coin door skip and the high punch trick. The remaining rules are the same.
I don't know about banning the high punch trick. It's always been part of the franchise. You might as well ban high punches entirely.
Thanks for the info!
DAMN these guys find so many ways to beat the game that fast, goes to show how deep UMK3 and all classic MK games are. Amazing video like always.
Absolutely fantastic! Many thanks from the MK speedrun community. Great job!
Insane I've been binging summoning salt, RWGoose, ezscape recently and here this is which is a mash up of two awesome things I love to watch. Keep it up and thanks!
Me:
8 year old me fighting jade: What the heck!? Hacker!
Coin Door Skip is the funniest speedrunning strat of all time from what I’ve seen
Finally able to watch this video after a long day at work. Such an interesting video. I loved it. These long form videos are awesome Ketchup. Keep up the amazing work!
Watching this video at work lol
I knew you were a fan of summoning salt as soon as I read the title of this video. Let’s get it!
Hellyeah.
Hellyeah.
Hellyeah.
Hellyeah
Hellyeah.
SummoningSalt's vids are top tier viewing. I enjoyed this vid. Thanks
Awesome bud.Love Summoning Salt and i love what you have done here with MK.Please do more,i think you've just about nailed it and would love to see what you do next.Of course MK is one of my favourite franchises and a speed running series dedicated to it would be brilliant.And any other fighting games would be great too.
Yyuhju
Good content and a shout out to summoning salt? liked and subscribed. Keep it up man!
When I saw credit to summoning salt I knew this was going to be good. Subbed
The amount of detail and information you gather for a video is top.notch. great video very interesting.
You’ve done SummoningSalt proud. This is an excellent video. Right on par with the extraordinary amount of work, effort and quality of his vids. Well done man.
Really great story. It's great to see how techniques are evolving, so that people become better and better.
You said it dude :)
Man I absolutely love your content and editing. UMK3 was one of the fighting games that I put the most time into, I miss playing on XBLA with Shock and Konqrr and all of the other high level players.
Shoutout to you for getting the record under your belt!
Also, this was a fantastic speedrun history! Well done!!!
I cannot get enough of summoning salt, glad to see more content creators working on speedrun history!
This is the content we need on 2020!!
This is only the beginning!
@@zubayrhassan4288 with all due respect, that is not what the majority wants. It is merely what you want. Viewership on the MK Meta vs viewership on other videos does confirm that.
I respect your opinion but I like to think that our audience trusts my judgement on what videos to make and how I go about making them.
I have plenty of videos in the pipeline that cover both new and old. It does come across as rude when you're essentially telling me what videos to make.
Apologies if this was a fairly blunt response.
Nice blink-182 pfp bro
@@ArpeggioPegasusMusic thanks bro
@@matthewderb 🎶say it ain't so, i will not go🎶
I love the effort you put into these videos ketchup! I’ve been enjoying the MK Meta videos, This was a great little change up from those videos but with the same format so it’s a nice little treat.
Keep up the great work!
Eyy that Summoning Salt shout-out tho! Also been a huge fan of his "World Record Progression" videos for years!
Stands and applauds... very well done.
Thank you!!
I remember being even more frustrated by MK2's AI
mine on snes pal would input-read and duck my Shadow-kick perfectly and uppercut. nevermind trying to jump over the computer.
Excellent video. I appreciate the completeness of this video and how much time you spent making this. Amazing work. 👍
Very awesome video. The history is super insightful. I used the jump back kick method growing up playing the game in the arcades. I had to male those quarters last lol. I didn't even know they recently separated the "credit skip" and "no credit skip" categories. I now have the 7th best "no credit skip" time. I like that haha. Keep up the great work!!
Great video! Hoping to see more of this content and MK meta series.
Cool history lesson. Great vid! Also, this is very interesting to see such a major overlap between the MK and speed running communities.
A disciple of SUMMONINGSALT... YES!
I like the way you gave props to summoning salt. That makes me happy. I binge both your channels 😁
You might think of retitling to include world record progression as that is the common search term. I think it would make it easier for people to find this great video!
Bruh speedrun history is so interesting thing to watch.
I agree! It's why I really wanted to make my version with a game close to my heart.
@@PNDKM even tho i am a soul calibur guy, i really enjoyed your vídeo, thanks dude.
Excellent video! Well done sir! 😊
I subbed just because you gave respect to summoning salt and an open honest youtuber deserves subs. Nice work on the video as well!
My first thought when I saw the video was about Summoning Salt. It’s so wholesome you mentioned him.
Dude your videos are great fun to watch and your kontent is clearly so well researched, respect!
this is crazy - i search a lot of MK and summoning salt stuff...how am i jsut seeing this today? well done - super informative
This came up in the background and I heard "on the hardest difficulty, in less than five minutes" and I had a legit "WAIT WHAT??" moment. Great essay on the topic, love it.
I never knew Mk3U could be speedrun'd, I grew up with Mk2 on the Snes. When I discovered speedrunning I tried to beat SMW as fast as I can. Good video, hope you get the subscribers you deserve.
meanwhile it takes me two hours to finish the novice tower in genesis XP
(great video)
I love speedrunning... I love fighting games... I love Summoning Salt... perfect video!!
great video dood, UMK3 will always be my favorite MK game
Great video summoning salt is my favorite youtuber huge fan thank you for making this :)
This is a really awesome video! Loved it!
i dont even play MK anymore, but i love coming here and vegging out on videos of you playing :D
Your video brought to me so many memories! That was the technique I used with smoke when I was in little kid! I was unbeatable on arcade or console. Great video 😁
He is a Great guy Summoning Salt and so is you! Been speedrunning l4d2 for quite a year but retired eventually. Btw new sub!
Thank you!!
Thank you for your video. I am from Chicago and I have a record of 6:40 at the arcade. Speed run is so fun
the funny thing about this is that we actually use those technics back in 90's in arcade machines because there was no other way to beat the AI,mk1 was easy to beat,but the Ai reading become ridiculus in mk2 /mk3/umk3/mk trilogy.Many ways discovered by the people who was deticated to play those games back then and it was fun to beat those games in my youth.Glad to see that people do speedruns in this games,brings back good memories.Thank you for explaining everything in this video,great content.
My favorite things your channel and speedrunning!
This might be your second best series after MK meta stuff.
Great video. I had UMK3 for SNES and in PAL version as I'm from Coventry. I loved that game and really enjoyed learning everyone's brutalitys. Back in 1996 the way to do that was via a games magazine, not the Internet! God I feel old typing that! Anyway I'm a big fan of speedrunning too so thank you for the great content. Subscribed!
Oi oi cov city!!
Loved the video. Seem some one do what summoning salts does brings joy to my eyes
I love videos about the history of speed runs for some reason
A master class in my favorite MK game of all time; excellent work! I remember trying my hand at speedrunning the game with some of these strats. There was this awesome "golden era" on Xbox live for quite some time. We're hoping to do an UMK3 arcade video at Funspot soon (we're local)!
AMAZINGLY PUT TOGETHER VIDEO DUDE. LUV SPEEDRUN BREAKDOWNS.
=)
Love your content! Liked and subbed! Cheers!
> *Wakes up*
> "Why do I have a feeling this is gonna be a great day?"
> *Sees new K&M video in notification*
> "That explains it."
Really cool video.
Had no idea a fighting game would have such a interesting history of speedruning.
I really like the idea of you recreating an old run we no longer have access to. I hope Summoning Salt adopts the idea someday!
Excellent video, m8!
When you talk about the arcade system and the middle button old arcade layout I remember in 94 to 97 in my corner shop none stop owning. 50p would get me hours of fun.
I never really paid too much attention to the speed running community in the decades I've been gaming, as I'm more of a completionist type of player myself.. But when I found Summoning Sault around.. I don't know maybe two years ago? My god. It's so incredible, I watched those videos almost religiously. Those skills are WAY beyond my calibur of expertise and it's just fascinating. Not only that, and MAYBE I'm wrong, but from what I've seen, the community backing this scene is legit more positive than a lot of other gaming sectors..It's more about breaking those sub limits of potential than it is about toxic trash talk, if that makes sense.. like people have come together, even the top tier players, just to trade notes at times. Of course there are gonna be bad apples and feuds but.. It just seems that this passion comes from a more positive space, to me. I love it. So yeah, definitely have a new sub from me man. Good stuff. Always a fan of cataloguing history. ❤️🤟
Awesome vid👍🏾
Man, speedrunning MK? That's pretty new to me... Awesome video.
Very well done.
Badass. I watch summoning salt too. His Mario 4-2 episode is my favorite
Awesome video!
THE.......Kombat King 🤘
Excellent video!!! I learned a ton:)
Loved this video!
I love this kind of content! Will you do a similar videó about the speedruns of MKIi and MK9?
Do people speed run all the mk games? I didn't have internet at one point and probably played through mk9 ladder 1000 times but never thought hey exactly how fast can I do it. I played cyrax so 100% combos all day hah
Great video!
Really interesting to see a speedrun history made by an actual runner!
If taken a long break away thanks to the MKX Pro League and my commentary career. Coming back to it, I didn't know so much tech had been found. It was eye opening.
Hot damn this brings me back to middle school. I learned all of these tricks on my own the hard way constantly playing the DS version of UMK3. I thought I was so cool until I found out everyone else knew the same tricks 😆. Such a great video. Took me down memory lane. Had to get a Nerf grip for my DS to be more comfortable while trying to beat the game as fast as I could
Thank you! That's all I have to say.
Thought I clicked a Summoning Salt video. Was not disappointed.
I will absolutely take that as a compliment 👊
Thank you - I love speedrunners
You are the summoning salt of our generation.
I am a simple man: I see UMK3 content > I like :D
sick edit also 7:00
So simple you can't even form your own thoughts and talk like memes
Nice shoutout to summoning salt. He’s great.
39 minute K&M video 😍
I love this video. Your connection to competitive gaming and your progression is expressed brilliantly.
You can easily map a coin door button to a seperate button on your arcade panel. I have done this for my street fighter 2 cab. That was you dont have to monkey around with the coin door 🧐
Oh boy, I remeber those BySpeed speedruns during livestreams with 1k+ ppl watching. Dude nailed MKI, MKII, MK3 and UMK3 back in the day. Dunno if he still holds the WR, but gotta show some respect to the immense ammount of work. A true MK warrior.
A bit late to the party here but you can still totally do the coin door skip with machines on Free Play. It still registers the coin input as normal. It's about the coin signal being input, not necessarily the setting of the machine. The game will still register the coin input, even if it's on Free Play.
Well documented video as usual!
30:30 omg that HP kick trick is hilarious
It took me about an hour to start doing proper runs with the spear endurance trick because I laughed so hard and messed my timing up.
Man, you can be proud of your accomplishments. It’s not arrogant just saying “I was on top” it’s pretty incredible
im 2 years late to this video but I really appreciate vids like this.
Dude when you mentioned Funspot I actually gasped. had no idea it was know outside of New England
Wow I didn’t know I using the strat at the time. Motaro was a hit or miss situation if he didn’t keep teleporting. On Shao khan I’d block low I noticed he would use his upward charge then uppercut him if he kept doing it. I played on the mame emulator as well.
That robot smoke trick I used to do that in arcade machines back in 1997 to complete the game with one credit.It works for sector as well.
buen reportaje... y méritos a Parallax y a Tenka que siempre buscan cosas nuevas en contra de la IA
I remember using Shangtsung in a specific map and did a full 3 character combo that glitched the background into a white void screen. I got soo good at it that i prefer playing in the white void screen. It looks cool
Crazy. I stumbled on most of this Smoke tech before 2010 independently of any knowledge speedruns were a thing for UMK3, particularly some of the two-cycle tech.
