When KI first hit the mall arcade rooms, there used to be a line out the door to play. Those who couldn't play watched in awe at how fantastic it looked.
I remember being like 11 years old and rocking orchids 65 hit combo on people. I was in elementary school player but all of the older kids new to watch out for me they all knew I could play.
The run and punch move at the end of the fall after the air launch was a nice personal touch. The timing has to be on point. Never seen it done by anyone else
Street fighter is the CoD of fighting games . 6 is a huge miss . Nothing will ever compare to 4 . MK dropped the ball with its characters . More guest characters than actual MK characters.
I remember my first ultra combo It was Ki gold on n64 with glacius, I did a jump kick into crouch kick uppercut and suddenly I did like 20 uppercuts in a row. It blew my little kid mind
My first Ultra was with Tusk. I hadn’t realized I was doing the combo until he started doing the circular swing with his sword. I finished with a 52 hit combo. Me and my bros were flabbergasted
I don't really know why folks are dogging on KI 2013 in the comments here. It wasn't intended to be a remake of the original. It was intended to bring the series into a modern gaming setting, which it did. It was interesting in that you could pay for the game, and get the characters, but if you were unsure you could get the game for free with a rotating character, and it followed the seasonal format we see nowadays. KI 2013 was a huge success for Microsoft, and if anything it just brought more attention to the series as a whole.
The people who don't like the new one are those are stuck in the nostalgia. I grew up with the arcade games but the new games is so much fluid that makes it a better game. Though the only character i didn't really like in the new one was Sabrewulf.
Bunch of nostalgic wannabes. Love the first one, I grew up with it (and skipped the N64 version), but you have to be remain objective and appreciate the new one as well.
The new KI is honestly one of the GOAT fighters, but a lot of people didn’t play it because MS dropped the ball so hard with the Xbone launch. Also most people didn’t try it because it was a Rare IP under MS which most people had written off at that point. Most FGC people stick with SF, MK, or Tekken and don’t stray too far from that. So competitively it’s niche and the most hardcore fans stick with it. Most of the people in the comments probably played the first on SNES once or twice and consider themselves “fans,” but probably wouldn’t bother to play a game of any of the three of them if they had the opportunity.
The new Ultras are great! The idea of hitting your opponent to the rhythm of music is amazing.The Nintendo Ultras were good in their time but they were random hits. The only thing missing was the finishing blow on the Ultra to make it an ULTRAAAAAAA! 8:15
Ki 2/gold was the first one I did over 60 plus combo with Glasius . That multi hit uppercut. Opportunity was missed here to showcase the newer version I think.
I never really played the 2013 version but the visuals on most of the characters are a massive upgrade. The only two I like classics better was Combo and Kim Wu.
THE WINNER IS.... KILLER INSTINCT 1 ( 1994 ) There are only 2 ultras that I highlight from Killer 2, the one from Tusk, very good, and the one from Spinal, in Killer 2 it is better than in Killer 1, then, from Killer 2013, I can't rescue any of them, they are horrible, pure lights , effects, nothing is understood, and they look like "supers" from King of Fighters because when starting the ultra, they make a gesture that shows that "the ultra starts there", before that wasn't there, the ultra started without you realizing it, and that I think it's much better... JAGO's one from killer 1, it's simply "BEAUTIFUL".
@@rh8560 EXACTLY!! Everything about KI 2013 just feels unfinished I don’t understand why they refuse to acknowledge the flaws in the current game Microsoft is mainly to blame They should market the game more What bothers me so much is the lack of Ultimates for some characters, and a lack of stages that Rash and RAAM truly deserve
No sé pero los diseños de los personajes de KI y KI2 me parecen mejor que los nuevos ,alguna razón legal o que se yo pero hubiera sido genial tener los mismo diseños de los personajes pero con sus respectivos retoques tecnológicos. Un remake del los primeros KI sería genial
killer 1 y 2 son obras maestras, el killer de microsoft es basura, no se entiende nada sus golpes, ni sus personajes ( mira como se ve glacius o spinal...) en killer 1 y 2, eran esteticamente hermosos, luego compara a tusk del killer 2, con tusk 2013, se ve mas dibujado en 2013 !!!! ( 13:05 ) inferior en estetica !!! con una espada horrible !!! y la textura de la piel pareciera de GTA san andreas !!! como puede ser teniendo hoy en dia mas tecnologia ? es el mismo sindrome de terminator 2, que las siguientes peliculas nunca pudieron ni siquiera igualar en calidad, a una pelicula de 1991, siendo que hoy tenemos mucha mas tecnologia.
@@hotzauhse y ni con los trajes clasicos se parecen, mira al indio thunder de los 90, todo musculoso, piel roja, inflado de tetosterona con una cintura envidiable para cualquier fisico culturista , y comparalo con el gordo de 60 años que pusieron ahora, la cintura parece la del barril del chavo del 8.
@@TrueAuthenticSweetsIt's more ground breaking and done better. They had less to work with and the presentation and cool is still much better than Microsoft's version. Much better music and cooler designs and animations too.
For me, I wanna know the music notes for the Ultras in KI 2013 I wanna use the instruments and sound fonts of a song that is perfect for KI for the Ultras of KI 2013, and finally release a video
@@AlexIn_ThaCosmos89 listen to each stage music it plays notes from their respective stage I swear it plays just like the beat of their stage but I could be wrong
@@AlexIn_ThaCosmos89 yeah I’m a beat maker try checking out mick Gordon he was the composer for season one and two of the stage music the hits are stabs of the stage music
I think across the three, Orchid and/or Combo are my favorites overall. Glacius, on the other hand... I didn't think it was possible to have a worse Ultra than an Ultra that someone is literally invisible for half of it, and yet... I would also be remiss if I didn't give at least a shoutout to Sabrewulf. He was absolutely my favorite character from the original two games.
Why did I think in the first killer instinct, the announcer used to be repeating the word Ultra. Like you get the combo and he says "Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra"
@@tiradouken2854 yes they did because i used to get bodied by Eyedol in the arcade and used to get ultra. And you can also do it if you unlock the character.
And did you know on the arcade machine, if you keep pressing HCB, HCB and bashing all kick/punch buttons (depending on the character) the hits would increase?
i hope they keep updating this. Rare did them so dirty. KI easily couldve outdone MK, SF, or Tekken in my opinion if it wasnt a 13 year break before we got a new one.
I still think KI 1 has the best Ultras. I'm not a fan of 2 because it's too repetitive and the most recent, not sure, but it feels like something's missing.
exactly my thoughts ki1 is the best one with the blood and it really felt killer , the visuals on ki2 were disappointing to me , and the latest killer instinct doesn't look or play good in my opinion
Soy yo o los ultras de KI 3 se sienten muy vacíos y sin emoción, simplemente hacen golpes comunes y ponen como 5 impacto de cada uno 😅 me parecen muy aburridos a comparación de los clásicos que hacen movimientos asombrosos y emocionantes de ver
the first killer instinct has the best visuals in my opinion , the fact that ki2 was a "supposed" ultra by doing the same frame 15 times then finishing with a little 3 move difference is stupid
For me 1 is the best then 2013 and finally 2. I own all 3 on Xbox series S and play 1994 version the most and love the music in that game. Funny how that is considering I’m 20. I put 2 last since I “Rarely” play it. Ok I’ll see myself out. I have put quite a bit of time into the 94 game. Hard to believe it will be 30 along side DKC 1.
The new killer instinct made the ultra combos make sense. The musical ultras are the best finishers in any game. The original ultras do not look choreographed. More like button mashing. The new ones have rythm, pattern and properly choreographed
Amigos corrijanme pero el hay 2 personajes de otras empresas como los enemigos de master chef de halo y la rana de otro videojuego que no recuerdo pero era de neo geo
The first killer instinct is unmatched
Rare was just insane in their day. Classic after classic
@@connorgillispie7128so sad Microsoft ruined them after acquisition
Killer Instinct Gold was the best one imo
@@paulmann5328The only thing that fucks me up in ki classic, is there's NO grab button! Turtling reigns supreme in this one
Ahead of its time
Happy 30th Anniversary to Killer Instinct franchise!
When KI first hit the mall arcade rooms, there used to be a line out the door to play. Those who couldn't play watched in awe at how fantastic it looked.
I remember being like 11 years old and rocking orchids 65 hit combo on people.
I was in elementary school player but all of the older kids new to watch out for me they all knew I could play.
I just realised that Fulgore is a cross between Terminator and Predator.
No, really?! :v who could of guess
TJ Combo's KI1 ultra is by far my favorite ultra of all time. That re-launcher is the cherry on top of a kickass cake.
The run and punch move at the end of the fall after the air launch was a nice personal touch. The timing has to be on point. Never seen it done by anyone else
Killer instinct is suppose to be up there with SF & MK. The developers really dropped the ball with this franchise
well Rare got bought by Microsoft, that basically killed the company
Street fighter is the CoD of fighting games . 6 is a huge miss . Nothing will ever compare to 4 . MK dropped the ball with its characters . More guest characters than actual MK characters.
With you there 100%. Killer instinct is just way too good.
I remember my first ultra combo

Mine was with cinder was like a 20 hit ultra but once I started playing with TJ combo I became a master 😂
TJ combo looks like Patrick Ewing. Also i love the way it always just screams Ullttttrrraaaaaaaa at the end and SKIPS 'Combooooo' - as it is his name.
8:15 ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

There will never be a killer instinct like the first killer instinct on SNES
Facts best fighting game
You Opinion
The first one was the arcade
Thanks for the showcase!
The Musical Ultra are sooo underrated!
Street Fighter + Mortal Kombat = Killer Instinct
Exactly
Yeah but KI was the one that brought the long combos
Killer instinct 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing video!!
The new Ultras are great! The idea of hitting your opponent to the rhythm of music is amazing.The Nintendo Ultras were good in their time but they were random hits.
The only thing missing was the finishing blow on the Ultra to make it an ULTRAAAAAAA!
8:15
That's very much true!
And yes, it replied to all the characters in Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition!
The 3rd games ultras break the flow of the combo too much and make it choppy
@@ThatAMGguy I don't know what you're talking about, it's going very well for me
Fr I was like no finishing blow after knocking them in the air
So we all gone pretend we didn’t hear Thunder and that Indigenous sneeze attack he was having at 10:10 😂
8:16 THAT SCREAM FROM THE NARRATOR AAAAAHHH COMBOOOOOOOOO!!!!
21:26
the rhythm of that ultra is sooooooooooo good
Bum bam bam bam bum bum bam bam ba bum bum ba ba ba baaaam.... It's cartoonishly ridiculous
I'm still getting nostalgia from the first one 😫
I remember watching my uncle in the late 90’s easily do a 100 hit combo with Cinder can just keep dragging on the combos at the right timings…
Ki 2 orchid is my favorite getting beat up by spinning open legs 🤸♀️
Wow……😳
Wtf
Hahahahaha chun li would be jealous of the leg strength orchid got to send a person flying upward with sideways kicks
@@lightnighl7220
Can you state your source that tells you that jealousy is a part of Chun Li's character?
The old school one the best
Ki 2/gold was the first one I did over 60 plus combo with Glasius . That multi hit uppercut. Opportunity was missed here to showcase the newer version I think.
From all KI 2 (gold) chars, Orchid's ultra was the only extended at the end
Yea a lot of people aren’t aware how complex KI GOLD was with its extensions.
Ambos K1 y K2 son buenos games de pelea bellos recuerdos de infancia.
I never really played the 2013 version but the visuals on most of the characters are a massive upgrade. The only two I like classics better was Combo and Kim Wu.

Spinal - bought to you by Ray Harryhausen.
I think the Ultras looked best in KI 2/KI gold. Were half of the combo is the same move multiple times. It looks awesome.
You left out Eyedol’s ultra for KI1. He was a playable character on the SNES.

In KI2, i did ultra combos with Jago, Tusk, Glacius, Fulgore, Kim Wu and Orchid, they look easy to me🤟🤟
Ki2 had the best ultra combo system, imo.
The best number one killer
i love the music matched with the combo in the aniversary edition
But what about KI Gold
That rythm thing they tried to pull on the last one might have looked good on paper, but ended up being ultra silly.
Hard disagree but okay
