Embalmed Ascendant
Creature — Zombie
Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)
When this creature enters, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.
Max speed — Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
Rulings (6)
Each player tracks their speed (or lack thereof) separately. Increasing your speed has no effect on whether another player has speed.

A player “has max speed” if their speed is 4.

Your speed doesn’t change until a spell or ability says so, such as the inherent triggered ability that cares about opponents losing life during your turn. Notably, losing control of permanents with start your engines! doesn’t affect your speed.
