[TAS] PSX Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero by Fly in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2918M.html. TAS originally published on 2015-08-11.
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is a story-driven fighting game that puts you in the shoes of Sub-Zero and chronicles a series of events that occurred prior to the first Mortal Kombat.
You, the Lin Kuei's most cunning assassin, are sent to steal an important document. However, this mission proves to be a test from a mysterious character (who turns out to be MK4's Quan Chi) who charges you upon retrieval of the document to recover an ancient medallion of untold power. Upon your return, Quan Chi reveals that he actually tricked you, and the medallion is the key to awakening the demon Shinnok (yup, the same baddie from MK4). Now a reluctant hero, you must pursue Quan Chi through hell itself hoping you get to Shinnok before him.
Technically speaking, this game represents the final evolutionary step in the MK series' 2D engine. The game takes the familiar 2D Mortal Kombat fighting environment and turns it into a hybrid fighting/platform game, where you must run and jump through hazardous levels as well as fight your way through both digitized and polygonal enemies. Sub-Zero's interface is the same as in every MK game, with the addition of the "use" and "turn around" buttons, an inventory, and a slight RPG twist that gives you EXP for defeating opponents which becomes new techniques and moves to execute in the game.
This is an improvement of an existing run (tasvideos.org/2362M.html). Besides a set of small improvements, the main differences of this run are a new shortcut in the sixth level and much more qualitative score management. All of this in total allowed Fly to reduce the time of the run by nearly 3 minutes.

This almost makes it look like this game controls well.

This is seriously one of the hardest games ever made. I remember playing it as a kid and I don't think I ever beat the boss of the wind level.

[@lambda494]

To be honest, this is probably how Sub-Zero would look actually doing his job.

[@vgita101]

really human play like this ?????

[@MickyAvStickyHands]

The days of limited continues. Could you imagine the anxiety attacks this would cause kids now. Forget being trolled online. Image if the entire game was a troll like Sub Zero Mythologies was.

Love how the TAS runner made Sub Zero fk around so much with the little bit of down time he had. Dancing, doing unnecessary actions and overall tea bagging. Made this one of the most hilarious videos I've seen for a Speedrun. Thanks

It's really sad so many people hates this game. I really do love this game. It was the main reason I started playing mortal kombat. I wish the series was like this

[@mrkrotos123]

Imagine if they made a game like this now or shaolin monks 2

Ed Boon: I told you this game wasn't hard!

"Sub Zero is a good guy, I'm sure I can reason with him. Maybe we can even leave this place together. Oh, there he is! Sub Zero! Listen, I..."

This is run is FUCKING AMAZING! It's full of clever tricks. My respects to the person who created this run, it's really pleasant to watch!

[@WarDragonOfTheLight]

I love how this ended with Sub Zero getting duffed through the portal.

Even for a tool assisted run, this video is mythical.
