just got a message back from dude who did those combos in the videos i posted. he said he doesnt have anyone to play with in germany, and his friend sucks. i was hoping to get some match vids. i plan to have ki1 and ki2 setup at evo and shit. so ill post that up later once i get my shit in ordered for that
maybe, but at the time, I didn’t know anything complex about the game. I was pretty much mashing during combos. maybe it was something I just thought I saw.
Killer Instinct was great, i remember playing it in the arcades and loved the massive combos, great stuff!
My earliest arcade memory was of Killer Instinct. NOTHING beats Killer Instinct. Still The best fighting game IMO. KI 2 was also a fun one too, deffinetly not better in terms of gameplay over the first one. It did have better atmosphere imo. Wish I still had my KI boards.
Glacius: Down 3, rush, standing 3, into QCF + 3
I love how long the fireball takes to bounce your opponent into the air. Lets them have a good amount of time to think about it.
KI Gold is still a great game for me, specially if you play it using all super bars, early fatals and no block, plus easy breakers. It may sound cheap and stuff, it really becames another game and it gets really flashy when played by skilled people who can use breaker against Ultra moves and get great comebacks.
if you make the 3rd hit s.fierce kick instead, the fb combo ender will be even slower(but it’s breakable)
Ah Killer Instinct, I was pretty hooked on this game when it was in the arcades (I think I was in high school at the time). I was a Jago player.
:karate:
Just wanted to add my two cents in…
KI was absolutely one of the best fighting games. I thought the controls in KI2 became too convoluted so I skipped out on it.
I think Rare (or whoever owns the title) should remake it. I think they may be underestimating how popular it would be.
I love this game, but it should never come back…
Im surprised all these niggas don’t see the difference between the SNES version and the Arcade Version…dont know much about the Sega Saturn version tho…it was hella rare and I only seen little previews of it. (was it even released?), but even more surprised that a lot of people have never even heard of this game or know about KI2…which sickens me really.
I remember back in the day when i first bought KI for the SNES that came with the killer kuts CD (I can’t believe i still ACTUALLY have this CD!, if you dont believe me ill take a picture) I was thinking about that game everyday when i was in elementary school just waiting to walk/run home to play as Combo and pull off the combo breakers…HAhaH! SUPREME GOOD TIMES MANE!
wish i could go back man. The 00s suck. 90s 4 life.
Ponder needs to stop being a Lazy fucker and put Killer Instinct (Arcade Version) on GGPO right NOW!
I got you dude - I have the Killer Cuts CD in a box somewhere too.
The differences between the SNES and the arcade were very significant. Many animation frames missing, no zooming etc…however it was enough to keep my playing for years.
