A challenge to the UMK3 players of TYM

[YourMKArcadeSource]

I'm going to try to get below 8 minutes with Smoke tonight.

That's awesome! I had no doubt that the record would have been set at GGA, you have some insanely good arcade players over there I hear.

Nick is actually Cincinnati's local UMK3 hero - He goes by the username McLovin - not sure if he has an account here.

@Fromundaman You should let Nick know about this challenge if you see him at Arcade Legacy

I just did 8:56 using a new tactic I discovered (with Lao), but I'm confident I can get significantly faster because I had some bad luck, Reptile went invisible (forever) and I did terrible vs Motaro.

Can Kung Lao use the same teleport tactic then?

Would love to see a video!

The teleport really only works vs Motaro.

I can upload my 8:56 video, but its so freakin sloppy since I just dramatically changed tactics tonight. After watching the video I think I could easily knock off another 30 seconds maybe even an entire minute, in the near future.

Just managed to get 7:38:42.

Uploading a video now!

Wow WTF!!

I'll upload mine too.

Final time: 7:38:42

I'm not sure if it'll be considered as an official record, mainly because I play on MAME.

Either way, Woohoo!

Oh man you've made me wanna try and get the quickest time I possibly can but once I hit those 2 opponents in one fight it easily takes me forever to finish it off lmao.

As for Kahn, he is definitely a run killer, I think there's a 1 in 3 chance he'll open with the upward tackle, instantly leading to his demise in that round because of the uppercut, spear his wake up, wait a little, uppercut, repeat until dead loop. Also, alot of H.Smoke juggles are doable on Kahn too, so maybe something can be done with those?

Always always walk back at the beginning of the round vs Kahn... if he does upward charge, you crouch and he whiffs... if he does forward charge, it whiffs and you combo him... if he does a fireball, duck it.

EDIT: You can also do a ground combo on him and walk back and if he does a charge, it will whiff and you get another combo. As long as he keeps charging, you keep kicking his ass for free.

Basically, all his shit can be wiff punished by Spear.

Just gotta be ready to get DEM REACTIONS ON

Thanks for the tag. I'll put it in our FB group for our MK3 people.

Ok here's my VERY sloppy Kung Lao 8:56 playthrough. What I learned tonight is, instead of going for the infinite vs every character every round. It's faster to just land a spin, begin the infinite HP, Dive Kick then stop let and the opponent fall, jump straight up in the air and the AI should crouch. Then do Lao's huge drop in auto-combo with an HK starter.

This time can be improved upon greatly I assure you. Can Lao match Robo Smoke? Probably not, but it MAY be possible to beat 8:00.

Very cool!

Dunno about WR though, 38 is smaller than 44

What's his username so I can add it to the list?

I would but I can't get out there until around 9:00 or 9:15 normally because I have my kids.

There's a Zod player at arcade legacy that sent Mustard loads of hilarious ragemail online.

It was like, the funniest thing ever. he was being racist about us being from the UK, but saying stuff like "Family guy was right about you" LOL

 

[STRYKIE]

Great idea. I'm free to recording nerves though and I don't really have any good recording equipment anyway, so I might have to pussy out on this one.

Can you use R.Smoke & H.Smoke?
And is there an end date for this or is it ongoing?

I my try to get down.

You mean switching to H.Smoke in the middle of the run? I don't see why not. Hell, how about someone going for a hella masochistic Shang attempt? :16Bit

He played a hack though, that's not UMK3.
That's UMK3:Zeus Edition, the tower is not standardized.
But yeah, Ketchups is lower anyway.

I submitted it anyway.

But yeah, I have both the hacked version and the regualar version on my PC, so I made sure to use the one that hadn't been tampered with for my run. I reckon we should set that as the format to do attempts for IMO.
