Finally uploaded for submission after a long absence!
UMKT is a hack of UMK3 for the genesis that takes advantage of 32x hardware to add basically every 2D MK character and stage into one big, unbalanced, broken package. To play the game or watch the movie, you will need to patch your UMK3 with the appropriate .ips. This version is the last revision from November 2020.
This is a kombofest playaround TAS, featuring the exclusive characters of Khameleon/Woman Khameleon together at the same time in Dramatic Battle mode. Lots of extended, frame perfect combos, long juggles and game destroying glitches, escalating each fight until, towards the end, it gets truly insane with huge fatality combos that corrupt the game's memory.
A high quality 4k encode can be found on my channel for easy viewing -
arkiandruski: Claiming for judging.
arkiandruski: Changed the branch name to "playaround"
arkiandruski: A fun playaround with crazy combos and glitches. Accepted to Alternative.
despoa: Processing...

First edition TAS of 2023 Sega TAS of 2023
This is basically my favorite tas this year. Completely unhinged fights. I do not know of any other fighting game with si many nearly game breaking glitches. Yes vote!

I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

I am super glad you guys enjoy it! That's very high praise Mike. I hesitated to post it for nearly a year, I guess I should stop worrying myself. Hope it gets voted through :)
Enter the Matrix is a piece of garbage but I'm gonna finish it if it kills me.

The initial "destiny" scroll sequence could have been skipped. I absolutely love UMKT, but TASes in the mode of "1P + 2P vs CPU" lose to regular 1P TASes in terms of entertainment. While single player attracts the audience with difficult combos, "flirting" with CPU which tries its best, but still cannot do anything major to the player and other moves which a game fan not expects to see, 2 players don't do anything but perform infinite combos on a CPU which at best manages to do a single step throughout a fight. Finishing moves, on the other hand, show a different angle for entertainment. Yeah, they look messy because of more and more objects being spawned on the screen, but at least this TAS tries to take advantage of CPU which finally gets freedom to spoil things up.
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

I'd like to report that the latest version of Bizhawk that has a version of Genesis Plus GX that works with this ROM Hack is 2.4.2. Current Bizhawk's GPGX core would need updating for this romhack to work again there without having to use PicoDrive. I'm also having doubts as to whether all the glitchery that happens in the run is actual glitches or emulator inaccuracies from using PicoDrive instead of Genesis Plus GX.
