WORLD RECORD MORTAL KOMBAT II SPEEDRUN! The Crazy freeze glitch! [INSANE] 

Thanks my dude! :)

@@BadNewsNate haha cheers bro! This run is becoming tough! Its wierd because the 7:39 alone was no joke, but at the same time much lower is possible. I think, going forward, we have to think about balancing the various strats based on how hard they are to perform. I think at some point we will be pushing this sub 7, but oh my god I don't know how much sanity we will have left.

That's what tends to happen when glitches are being used 🤷‍♂️

@@doomdoomerson6524 FFD HK. Must be on revision 2.0 and within a certain distance of the opponent.

@@DarkTenka gotchya...yeah I know the input, was just wondering what trick you may have been using to do it IN-FIGHT. I understand, now that it's just the 2.0 ver.

@@doomdoomerson6524 it also works on 1.4, but only from the left side of the opponent for some reason. 1.4 has the broken Kintaro/Shao Khan tho

@@jshkings89 do you think speedrunners don't use glitches? If it's a part of the game and not an added or modified component from anything outside the game, it counts.

@@jshkings89 its also worth mentioning that this glitch makes the run far more complex and difficult. The alternative sub-zero speedrun is extremely slow, boring, and easy. Abusing this glitch to its maximum potential makes the speedrun far more difficult than you could possibly imagine. Its easily the hardest mortal kombat speedrun, second maybe to Liu Kang.

@@JohnRacke is there any other reason? :)

@@DarkTenka ya know, I didn't even think about that.

do one yourself, the commands are on the screen.

Don’t you understand speed running?

Rom hacks, prerelease or prototype version speedruns are held with scrutiny. This is indeed one of those types of roms.

@@Vultyrex Prove it, O wise one.

@@Vultyrex This is not a rom-hack or a pre-release/proto type. (We actually have separate leaderboards for those) This is Revision 2.0. It was a legitimate release that was in arcades for people to play. Many people actually did do the glitch in actual arcades back in the day, the short while that revision 2.0 was public. It was patched in Rev 2.1. The main speedrun leaderboard allows the use of any officially released version as the selected route for each character.

@@zzzzxxxxxz6017 lmao because that makes a difference. Sure lets gate keep any kind of competition behind $5000 worth of equipment and a degree in electrical engineering. I think anyone who says this is butthurt they spent so much money on legitimate hardware but they still can't play the game for shit.

@@zzzzxxxxxz6017 speedrunning will never be pay to win. In the case of arcade games, emulation is more legit than real hardware because it is more accessible. If you want to believe that having access to real hardware and by default, excluding your real competition is "legit", then you are delusional.

Most times yea. But when they win it's a world record so there's that

​@@thestaubmob6877you do have to lose many times before you can win 😂
