fun fact: the composer of the game's sountrack, Mick Gordon, also worked on both Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal (minus the dlc). In one of the character's theme, Spinal (the skeleton), it used an actual bone as an instrument (alongside some dope swedish vocals).
Killer Instinct's roster are essentially a tribute to every genre of fiction. Jago and Kim Wu are Kung-fu films. Orchid represents spy thrillers. Fulgore, Glacius, Riptor and Cinder are sci-fi. Maya, Tusk and Arganos are fantasy. T.J Combo, Thunder and Eagle are action heroes. Sadira, Mira, Saberwulf Hisako and Kan-Ra are horror. And Spinal, Gargos and Eyedol are references to Ray Harryhausen stop motion epic's.
Some info: The yellow bar under the health is the "instinct gauge" which you can use to temporarly buff yourself. Also Rash (The frog) is from battle toads, Ram (Shanking guy) is from Gears of War, and the Arbiter (the guy who looks like hes from halo) is in fact from Halo.
Fun Fact: There is a difficulty mode called Kyle. "The Kyle difficulty level is the most difficult setting, and is based on one of the development team's AI Designers, who is apparently insanely good at the game." So yeah, the AI DESIGNER for this game was insanely god like. That frog, is from a legendary game called Battletoads. The Taunt he does, actually plays the main theme from his game and the pause music too, so you could also check out his taunt and the ultimates for this game too, if given the chance.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames if you're interested in seeing someone play it on "Kyle" difficulty, Maximilian Dood has a series of videos on his channel called "Boss Rage" where he plays the Arcade ladder of fighting games at the highest difficulty, KI being one of them
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames not only that, its believed that in the difficulty your opponents literally LEARNS your moves after you're defeated, the AI apparently makes notes of your playstyle and makes calculations on how to make things even more difficult for you
Another fun fact, the skeleton pirate, named Spinal, has his laugh from the original game brought back because it was so iconic and it fits his character perfectly
The Arbiter is in fact a Halo character, General Raam is from Gears of War, and Rash is from Battletoads. There is also older Killer Instinct games with Ultras and Fatalities. Y'all should react to those too.
The yellow bar is known as the Instinct Bar. When a character takes a certain amount of damage, they can active Instinct. It gives them a temporary boost which can be used to make a comeback. Each character's is completely different. Gargos gains infinite stone armor, Jago's fireballs can heal himself, Raam covers the screen in flesh eating bat-like monsters, just to name a few.
Cinder's theme has always been my favorite theme in the Killer Instinct series with Spinal being second, I have the soundtrack and listen to it all the time, I don't know if it's just me but fighting games seem to have some of the best music in video games.
Facts about each character. And they did this in reverse so a couple of fighter have evolved forms or other things so I'll just put them together cause it'll keep it coherent. 0:55 Eagle: brother of Thunder. Once was killed and his mind & spirit used to make Fulgore. I forget how they resurrected or retconned his death. 1:42 Killgore, the prototype model that would eventually become the Fulgore model. But better is all about perspective. 11:30 Hisako - Shin Hisako: Hisako was the daughter of a great samurai and he taught her all she knows in the way of fighting. Unfortunately invaders took her & her family's lives. Her first and scariest form came about when Ultratech, one of the Big Bads of K.I. disturbed the grave of Hisako's family. She became an onryō ( a vengeful spirit, like Ringu ) except she was able to focus on her goal of revenge against Aria the head of Ultratech. Shin-Hisako is when Hisako became a Kami (Guardian Deity) by some unknown means. She's regained her sense of self and her father's katana that contains a guardian spirit to help her fulfill her duty as guardian which might explain her ascension. Now she defends the Earth from the forces of Gargos. 3:10 Eyedol is a classic boss from previous K.I.s who served Gargos, now he has split from his former master to wreak his own path of destruction. 4:50 Rash from the classic game Battle Toads. Mira, She is a former member of the Night Guard and the fraternal twin sister of Maya who sacrificed herself years ago to save Maya during a botched mission slaying vampires, but she has since returned as one of the very things they came to destroy. Now a member of a Russian Coven of vampires, Mira has become the favored lieutenant of an ancient vampire master known as the "True Tsar". She may still be in there somewhere as she freed her sister who was captured by the forces of Gargos, instead of cementing the Tsar's & Gargos's alliance by killing her. Or it could be she just wanted to do it on her terms. 6:20 Gargos the Astral Titan and OG Final Boss of previous K.I. games. Used to just be a derpy looking gargoyle now he's the Demon God who's come to ruin your day and controller. Lol 7:03 Kim Wu is a OG character from the Classic K.I. games. Being the chosen of the holy dragon spirit Yeouiju, it's not by chance that Kim Wu exhibits all the traits attributed to the sign of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac. She is gifted, intelligent, bossy, loud, garish and unfaithful, but successful and popular; and is held in veneration by her admirers and elder family members. 7:45 Tusk is another OG K.I. character. A 6'11 legendary barbarian and warrior champion who was called Tunth-ska in the ancient world, Tusk's a hefty fighter characterized by his preternatural strength and mastery of two-handed greatswords. In Killer Instinct (2013) he is an immortal guardian known as the "Watchman of the Gods", who was created 10,000 years ago by angelic beings to serve as Earth's sentinel against the demon lord Gargos. 8:36 Omen, Herald of Gargos and all around bad dude. the dark spirit that had possessed the warrior Jago, turning him into Shadow Jago. He is a loyal servant of the astral deity Gargos, and has been given the special duty of preparing the world for the return of his master. 9:12 Arbiter is indeed a Halo Character. He's well known to those who follow Halo, going from villain to Anti-Hero to Hero from Halo to Halo 3 and beyond. 9:58 ARIA, an abbreviation standing for "Advanced Robotics Intelligence Architecture", is a new character introduced in the Season Two of Killer Instinct (2013). An artificial superintelligence created by Ultratech's founder, Ryat Adams, ARIA was designed to direct the evolution of the human species and ensure its long-term survival. The AI has since taken full control of Ultratech as its CEO, and mysteriously alternates between an antagonist to the human heroes and a foil to the demonic forces of Gargos. 10:35 Cinder, he's an ex-special forces operative who volunteered to have his DNA spliced with alien genetics as part of Ultratech's Project Cinder, becoming the lieutenant and enforcer of the megacorporation's CEO, ARIA. 12:14 Aganos is an ancient war-golem that originated in Mycenaean Greece. 13:00 Riptor everyone's favorite Cyber Raptor. Originally a Human/Raptor this game made the wise decision to turn her into a mass produced Ultratech creation. Quote: The ancient gods created the dinosaur, and the ancient gods destroyed it. So Ultratech has created the Stalker unit. And so it in turn shall destroy an ancient god. 13:38 Khan-Ra is a cursed sorcerer from Ancient Babylon. Condemned by the Babylonian King that he betrayed to walk the Earth as a decaying corpse, Kan-Ra seeks to undo his affliction through whatever means he can find - and is more than willing to inflict a few of his own unto others along the way. He is the nemesis of Aganos, the war-golem sent by his former sovereign to hunt him down and destroy him. 14:16 Maya, OG character. An Amazonian queen who hails from South America's rain forests, in the update to her character she is the last remaining member of a secretive cabal of monster hunters known as the Night Guard, in the Season Two of Killer Instinct (2013), and was given a fraternal twin in Season Three through the new character Mira. 14:58 T.J. Combo. I was gonna go into detail but since he has a Death Battle vs Balrog from Street Fighter, I recommend that to learn more. Please 🙏🙏🥺🥺 15:34 Fulgore! The mascot of Killer Instinct. Also has a Death Battle. 🙏🥺🙏🥺 16:08 Spinal is a reanimated skeleton and the restless remains of an ancient warrior. One of the signature characters of the Killer Instinct franchise. 16:40 Sadira is the first female antagonist introduced to the series. She is a mysterious female assassin whose allegiance lies with Ultratech. A ruthless killer who delights in seeing her targets in pain, showing a clear sadistic streak in the way she taunts them in her native Thai tongue before each battle. She is easily influenced by fame and fortune, striking a deal with Ultratech in order to make the Red Eyes of Rylai the most powerful clan of assassins in the world. She also shows much dishonesty and cunning, having claimed her position in the Red Eyes by murdering her mentor and taking her place - she knows when to stay in line though, as during her service with Ultratech she was very loyal to ARIA and would undertake any order, knowing she was well out of her league with the megacorporation. However, after her ill-fated encounters with Glacius and Hisako she was discharged from ARIA's service and beaten to a pulp by her former comrade, Cinder. Frustrated and seeking revenge, she has been swayed by Gargos' temptations before and has trouble keeping control of her hidden temper. 17:16 Shadow Jago is the Omen possessed Jago. 18:24 Sabrewulf OG character, one of my other personal favorites. Also has a Death Battle 🙏🥺🙏🥺 18:58 Thunder (real name hinmatoom, formerly known in the original universe as Chief Thunder) is a traditional Native American Nez Percé tribal warrior, He mainly speaks in his native language of Niimi'ipuutímt out of preference, though he does know English. His main goal is to find his brother Tipyeléhne, also known as Eagle, who was kidnapped by Ultratech years ago. Thunder has learned from Orchid that Eagle was used in the creation of the Fulgore Mk. III, and since then he has fought against Ultratech. 19:33 Orchid OG signature character, Jago's Half-sister. Also has a Death Battle 🙏🥺 20:08 Glacius, OG signature character. Alien. Also has a Death Battle 🙏🥺🥺🙏 20:38 Jago, is a mysterious warrior monk from a remote region of Tibet and the main protagonist of the Killer Instinct series, having been playable in every installment. Guided by the mysterious Tiger Spirit to seek his destiny, he has been led to the Killer Instinct tournament to destroy the evil within. He is the younger half-brother of Orchid. (basically this Game's Ryu or Lu Kang.) Thanks if you made it too the End ☺️☺️☺️.
Eagle wasn't killed by Ultratech. They captured him and copied his consciousness to control the Fulgore units. Later Glacius broke into one of Ultratech's labs, found him and freed him. That's why Eagle looks the way he does, because Glacius gave him some of his technology.
Great way to start Friday. The musical finishers of this game are one of my favorite things in it. What makes it even better is that when a character does their ultra combo, it has a specific rhythm to it, but the melody/musical style will match that of whatever song is playing for that particular fight. So since each of the 29 characters has their own theme, there are 29 different variations for the jingle of each ultra combo.
Sweet! Riptor is my main she's super fun to play. BTW the ultra's music changes depending on the stage/stage music you choose, they sync to the stages music so there's so many combinations. My favorite is Riptor's Ultra on Orchid's stage it sounds so cool.
The toad, Rash, is from a series I adored as a kid, Battletoads. I've only managed to beat the NES game and close to beating Battletoads Double Dragon, but these games are extraordinarily difficult. Fun fact; the theme you hear during his Ultra Combo is *actually* the original pause music from the NES game, famous for how catchy it is!
Mick Gordon KILLED IT WITH THAT SCORE. I remember his name in the Doom credits so he's been around and it's cool seeing Arbiter from Halo games here but I really enjoyed y'all reactions to this.
This game has so much passion in it love the music and the stages told a story for the characters too still play it to this day. Loved how they made the ultra's to a beat as well was a cool little touch, the soundtrack still probably one of my favorites from a fighting game with how diverse it is with some callbacks to the older songs along with the dynamic stages. Also man Shadow Jago's ultra combo is pretty sick still to this day.
I love Maya's ultra combo. The fact that she throws her daggers at you, and chill for a minute letting themslice you up and she shaking her head in disappointment, is by far a sassy finish lol. And seeing Hisako all up in your face on a huge TV is even more of a NOPE moment lol
Oh you’d definitely love the character trailers, really brings out some of the characters even more than their ultras. Also, Hisako is easily my favorite female fighting game character ever and is up there as an all time fave, glad to see you two get creeped out by her LOL
The TJ Combo character from this game as a Deathbattle with Barlog from Street fighter that was one of the most popular Deathbattles out there. Be sure to do a reaction to that!
Killer instinct is one of my favorite fighting games, you guys would probably like it since it’s a fast based fighting game kinda like mortal kombat a little bit
Killer Instinct was known in arcades for its awesome soundtrack, which probably sold as much as the game itself. This version rolled with it and just scrolling up and down through the main menu chimes out the KI theme song.
The character trailers for the whole cast is fantastic. They're theatrical, they're well-paced and well done, they're definitely worth a watch! A fellow TH-camr was actually hired to edit the trailers for some of them, he was a big fan of KI as a kid and it's a nice story to know going into watching the trailers. A sort of "dreams can come true" kind of story :)
The "frog" was a Battle Toad from the Battle Toad series of games. I was worried you guys wouldn't notice that Arbiter is from Halo. I suppose you guys haven't met him yet in your Halo playthrough. Kan-ra's Ultra Combo was my favorite, but Hisako (the second creepy one) seems like the type of character I would main if I ever played this.
The guy you said who sounds like a retro game, he's one of the toads from Battle Toads, which was pretty much a similar set up like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as for the guy you thought was from Halo, you're correct, he's the Arbiter from Halo 2, 3, and this is his design from Halo 5 Guardians.
If you don't know the giant turtle without a shell is Battle Road (old school game from the 90s/80s) big scary dude with Knife is General RAAM from Gears of War
If y'all think Hisako was creepy, check out more Killer Instinct Ultimate of each characters and you'll see how she would do by possessing their opponents! 👍🏿
This game is SERIOUSLY slept on. Many casual players, extremely intimidated by the combo system, have never bothered trying the game out, which is a shame. Also to note, each ultra is a character theme song. Each character has their own trailer, so you could def check those out.
Bit of trivia for you: Cinder's theme was done in part by James "Little V" Mills, he's a music teacher and heavy metal guitarist up here in Canada. He also has a TH-cam channel where he does metal covers of songs, it's well worth checking out: th-cam.com/users/LittleVMills
I like how every characters do their combos and the music hits while doing it. We need more Killer Instinct games. Plus I love the first Killer Instinct 1994 theme song, it gets you pumped up. My favorite combo here was Shadow Jago, Jago, Orchid, and Rash.
Killer Instinct had some cameos from other franchises. Rash is from Battletoads, General RAAM is the main villain from Gears Of War 1 and Arbiter is one of the main characters from Halo 3
Tj combo and thunder are my mains and literally inspired my gamertag Chief Combo. In the 90s thunder was chief and he was a beast as he still is now. I'm alright with rash and cinder but tj and thunder ooh boi. Shoot they I even got my gamertag tattooed on my arm because I love gaming so much and KI made me believe in fighting games can be as good as this game.
Another really fun game. Fun fact, I bought my first Xbox One solely for Sabrewulf when this game was first revealed for SGC 2013. The game only launched with Jago and Sabrewulf and everybody else was released as DLC. But the instant I saw Sabre, I was immediately sold. A whole new $400-500 console for one fighting game character... To this day, this remains my favorite fighting game. And I honestly suck at fighting games like MK and SF. But KI was super easy to get in to.
"I have faced the flood and silenced Truth" you haven't experienced Halo 2, so you don't know about Arbiter. A high ranking elite and voiced by non other than Keith David. General Ramm is from Gears of War, Rash is from the infamous Battletoads. Glad you caught on that when the characters were doing their ultras it was syncing with their theme. Shadow Jago, and Jago are in fact the same person just that one is evil I'll let you figure out who. Killer Instinct is a Microsoft exclusive game and a free to play. The thing is you have to buy the characters that you want to play as. Hoping that one day we get either some Mortal Kombat characters in Killer Instinct or some Killer Instinct characters in Mortal Kombat, since they've been around since 94' 95'.
Omg I love Killer instinct and Rash is from Battletoads a famous hard game back on the NES. His outro is cause they haven't had a new game until sometime last year I believe. Old school beat em up games.
4:01 That is General Raam from Gears of War game. He is a guest character in Killer Instinct. 4:55 And that is Rash from old classic retro game Battletoads. The one of the hardcore games that you don't wanna mess with. That is my childhood right there! Remember playing that game on NES. Ah, good old times. 9:47 Yes, that is the Arbiter from Halo. I only played Halo 1 and 2, so i only remember him from Halo 2 as a secondary playable character. 14:30 Also she was played for motion capture by Kerri Hoskins, that played Sonya in Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat 4! Thus, you can say that we have like two characters in one. HOW COOL IS THAT?! 20:41 Well, that is original version of Jago. The other version you saw was Shadow Jago, like evil version of him. It's like there is Ryu in Street Fighter but then there is Evil Ryu, or like in Mortal Kombat there is simple human Liu Kang but then there is Zombie Liu Kang. Stuff like that.
We do plan to get to some Attack on Titan and other anime on our other channel that focuses on stuff outside of games th-cam.com/users/DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 🙂
My buddy used to play this at like a super high level. He was gonna go to some tournament, but then didn't... probably cause he couldn't drive 😂 General Raam is the main bad guy from Gears of War 1. There's a DLC for Gears 3 where you play as Raam is so dope.
back in 1994 the fight was on, between class mates who had Mortal Kombat, and those who had Killer Instinct. it was the school-grade Ford vs Chevrolet of video games.
Killer instinct have dynamic music based on situation. It can be agressive in battle and calm in neutral. Ultra sound is generating and instrument is depended on stage, so each character have many variation of it. All thank to god of music - Mick Gordon. He also made music fot new Doom. Combo system is very unique. It hard to describe. Some sort of custom combo
Also keep in mind that Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon used this folklore of a vengeful spirit, combined it with tales of the ninja and added Ghost Rider. What does that equal: SCORPION.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Hisako has a purified form she has obtained called Shin Hisako, which means True Everlasting Child. Shin Hisako is almost identical to Hisako, but with some drastic changes. She now wears the signature sode shoulder armor and suneate shin guards of a samurai, combined with a black and gold dress and a yellow flower attached to her hair. Her eyes are now bright gold, same goes for her aura to symbolize her purged spirit. No longer an onryō spirit, gone is the cursed dagger filled maw; her mouth and teeth now appear human. Discarding her late father's naginata, she now wields his katana which contains a coalesced Guardian assigned to help her in her duties as a gatekeeper.
The yellow bar is instinct. I't kind of a comeback mechanic. You can kind of use it 2x a match and it does a bunch of stuff depending on the character. Like Jago, his fireballs will heal him, TJ Combo gets more speed and if he has it when he loses, he comes back with 10% health. Mostly it fills character's weaknesses for a time. The purple bar at the bottom is your basic meter you spend to do special moves and it feeds into the combo system. One cool thing about the music is it actually changes depending on player actions. Like for example if nobody does anything it's actually ramp down and became more melodic. Even with the Ultras you have to input all those moves so you can control the melody somewhat. I really can't name anyone that put that much effort into the music for a fighting game.
The Green toad who you described as a Ninja Turtle but without the shell is one of the 3 BattleToads and his name is Rash. Battletoads was a classic beat em up game that started on the NES(which is why his sound effects sound 8-bit.) The Battletoads' abilities are shape-shifting their hands, feets, and heads like giant fist, giant boot with or without spikes, ram horn or football helmet, power drill, hammer, wrecking ball, circular saw, even a forklift bulldozer.
This game speaks in all caps. Also fun fact. If you use the classic costume on fulgore and do his ultimate, if you look closely you can make out the Rare symbol which were the original creators of killer instinct before microsoft bought the rights.
Fun fact: thunder and eagle are brothers from the nez perce tribe. And they actually went to the tribe and got real nez perce art clothing and also weapons. They also got real feedback from the tribe and worked with them to make them more accurate. The best part?? They showed the game demo to nez perce kids and they could see one of their own in a video game that's not stereotyped. Awesome video guys hope for more!
There is technically 3 versions of jago, you got the regular one you have shadow jago that's been taken over by an evil spirit, that spirit being omen which is why they have similar moves
That one character you notice is indeed from Halo called Arbiter. Both Halo and KI are properties of Microsoft so I assume they thought it'be cool to bring Arbiter into KI. In the KI tournaments, Arbiter was one of the strongest characters which was later nerfed.
Killer Instict had a few crossover characters. Rash was from an old game called Battletoads on the NES. The guy with the laser sword, was Arbiter from, what you guessed, Halo. And General Raam, the prison shank guy, was from Gears of War.
I remember playing this game in Arcade Room in town in 90'. I saw a guy did a 94 hits combo with Orchid on a Arcade Game of Killer Instinct 2. You should watch the ultra of the older games Killer Instinct 1 & 2 also. I love the voice off who tell "tittle" of Combo. Awesome combo / killer combo / monster combo and the famous Ultraaaa Ultraaaa Ultraaa !!!!
Fun fact: Orchid's private background is that she's American born, that Jago is her half-younger brother; and that their father was a soldier named Jacob.
KI used to be Xbox exclusive so yeah, it was a Halo character there) also cant wait for KI-2, its such a unique fighting game, it just needs modern graphics
Fun factoid: when i was a kid playing skyrim, i created a lizard guy (argonian) and named him khan’rah, very damn close to the mummies name, khanra. I always joked that they stole my character.😂
I like how the man called general ram a cross between killer croc and they forget who else he said general ram was crossed with but I really like the general ram one that one was pretty cool
Man, I've seen a few of these "All supers" reaction from you two, and it made me realize how confusing they must be to people unfamiliar with the games. This one was better than most, but it did the characters in reverse, starting with the bosses and alternate forms, ending on the main characters. Plus the dude in the video kept missing the combo enders! For suggestions, I would say the trailers, I wouldn't recommend the finishers, they're kind of tacked on. Maybe the classic finishers, since they include "humiliations" which force the opponent to do a boogie dance.
My favorite part of this watching this game was always the announcer going absolutely insane. 😂
Right?! That announcer is like a soccer announcer on steroids and coke 😝
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I would imagine the announcer having no voice after all that screaming
*ULLLLTTTRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!*

Nice fun fact. Very talented and creative composer 😀 we’ve had a lot of comments raving about the soundtrack for Doom 😎🤟
Killer Instinct's roster are essentially a tribute to every genre of fiction.
Jago and Kim Wu are Kung-fu films. Orchid represents spy thrillers. Fulgore, Glacius, Riptor and Cinder are sci-fi. Maya, Tusk and Arganos are fantasy. T.J Combo, Thunder and Eagle are action heroes. Sadira, Mira, Saberwulf Hisako and Kan-Ra are horror. And Spinal, Gargos and Eyedol are references to Ray Harryhausen stop motion epic's.
😎🤟
I didn’t know that I wonder if they have different movies for their genres
of fiction
Then we got some crossovers to shit like halo and fucking battletoads
T.J Combo’s more on the sports fiction genre than action hero genre.
Some info: The yellow bar under the health is the "instinct gauge" which you can use to temporarly buff yourself. Also Rash (The frog) is from battle toads, Ram (Shanking guy) is from Gears of War, and the Arbiter (the guy who looks like hes from halo) is in fact from Halo.
Thanks for helping us out with the extra info 😀
No offense but rash is a toad(battle toads)

@@wraithenderElbert That's right, I should have mentioned that
You should definitely react to all the character trailers. The music complements this game so much as well as the characters aesthetics!!

One character who freak me out was Hisako

Killer instinct also has ultimates to react to. The are really cool.
to bad the ultimates was a side thing late in the games life :/
We plan to check those out as well 🙂
Some of them don’t have ultimates
Facts about each character. And they did this in reverse so a couple of fighter have evolved forms or other things so I'll just put them together cause it'll keep it coherent.
0:55 Eagle: brother of Thunder. Once was killed and his mind & spirit used to make Fulgore. I forget how they resurrected or retconned his death.
1:42 Killgore, the prototype model that would eventually become the Fulgore model. But better is all about perspective.
11:30 Hisako - Shin Hisako: Hisako was the daughter of a great samurai and he taught her all she knows in the way of fighting. Unfortunately invaders took her & her family's lives.
Her first and scariest form came about when Ultratech, one of the Big Bads of K.I. disturbed the grave of Hisako's family. She became an onryō ( a vengeful spirit, like Ringu ) except she was able to focus on her goal of revenge against Aria the head of Ultratech.
Shin-Hisako is when Hisako became a Kami (Guardian Deity) by some unknown means. She's regained her sense of self and her father's katana that contains a guardian spirit to help her fulfill her duty as guardian which might explain her ascension. Now she defends the Earth from the forces of Gargos.
3:10 Eyedol is a classic boss from previous K.I.s who served Gargos, now he has split from his former master to wreak his own path of destruction.
4:50 Rash from the classic game Battle Toads.
Mira, She is a former member of the Night Guard and the fraternal twin sister of Maya who sacrificed herself years ago to save Maya during a botched mission slaying vampires, but she has since returned as one of the very things they came to destroy. Now a member of a Russian Coven of vampires, Mira has become the favored lieutenant of an ancient vampire master known as the "True Tsar".
She may still be in there somewhere as she freed her sister who was captured by the forces of Gargos, instead of cementing the Tsar's & Gargos's alliance by killing her. Or it could be she just wanted to do it on her terms.
6:20 Gargos the Astral Titan and OG Final Boss of previous K.I. games. Used to just be a derpy looking gargoyle now he's the Demon God who's come to ruin your day and controller. Lol
7:03 Kim Wu is a OG character from the Classic K.I. games. Being the chosen of the holy dragon spirit Yeouiju, it's not by chance that Kim Wu exhibits all the traits attributed to the sign of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac. She is gifted, intelligent, bossy, loud, garish and unfaithful, but successful and popular; and is held in veneration by her admirers and elder family members.
7:45 Tusk is another OG K.I. character. A 6'11 legendary barbarian and warrior champion who was called Tunth-ska in the ancient world, Tusk's a hefty fighter characterized by his preternatural strength and mastery of two-handed greatswords.

9:58 ARIA, an abbreviation standing for "Advanced Robotics Intelligence Architecture", is a new character introduced in the Season Two of Killer Instinct (2013). An artificial superintelligence created by Ultratech's founder, Ryat Adams, ARIA was designed to direct the evolution of the human species and ensure its long-term survival.

16:08 Spinal is a reanimated skeleton and the restless remains of an ancient warrior. One of the signature characters of the Killer Instinct franchise.
16:40 Sadira is the first female antagonist introduced to the series. She is a mysterious female assassin whose allegiance lies with Ultratech.

She also shows much dishonesty and cunning, having claimed her position in the Red Eyes by murdering her mentor and taking her place - she knows when to stay in line though, as during her service with Ultratech she was very loyal to ARIA and would undertake any order, knowing she was well out of her league with the megacorporation.
However, after her ill-fated encounters with Glacius and Hisako she was discharged from ARIA's service and beaten to a pulp by her former comrade, Cinder. Frustrated and seeking revenge, she has been swayed by Gargos' temptations before and has trouble keeping control of her hidden temper.

Guided by the mysterious Tiger Spirit to seek his destiny, he has been led to the Killer Instinct tournament to destroy the evil within. He is the younger half-brother of Orchid. (basically this Game's Ryu or Lu Kang.)
Thanks if you made it too the End ☺️☺️☺️.
Thanks for giving all the info on the characters 😀 also, is their more than one cyber raptor out there? 😯😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames a few I believe. None as beloved as Riptor. ☺️☺️☺️
Eagle wasn't killed by Ultratech.
They captured him and copied his consciousness to control the Fulgore units.
Later Glacius broke into one of Ultratech's labs, found him and freed him.
That's why Eagle looks the way he does, because Glacius gave him some of his technology.
Also
3:55 General Raam, is a guest character (along with Arbiter and Rash) from a game called Gears of War
Great way to start Friday. The musical finishers of this game are one of my favorite things in it. What makes it even better is that when a character does their ultra combo, it has a specific rhythm to it, but the melody/musical style will match that of whatever song is playing for that particular fight. So since each of the 29 characters has their own theme, there are 29 different variations for the jingle of each ultra combo.
That’s a ton of variations 😀 Nice that they took the time to do all of that music 🙂
Sweet! Riptor is my main she's super fun to play. BTW the ultra's music changes depending on the stage/stage music you choose, they sync to the stages music so there's so many combinations. My favorite is Riptor's Ultra on Orchid's stage it sounds so cool.
Oh nice. That’s cool that they have even more music depending on the stage and character. That makes for a lot of combinations and songs 😀
The toad, Rash, is from a series I adored as a kid, Battletoads. I've only managed to beat the NES game and close to beating Battletoads Double Dragon, but these games are extraordinarily difficult. Fun fact; the theme you hear during his Ultra Combo is *actually* the original pause music from the NES game, famous for how catchy it is!
Congrats on beating the game! Heard most people never made it past level 3 😯
Mick Gordon KILLED IT WITH THAT SCORE. I remember his name in the Doom credits so he's been around and it's cool seeing Arbiter from Halo games here but I really enjoyed y'all reactions to this.
😎🤟 glad you enjoyed the reaction and yes, the music for this was on point 🙂
Making a song out of a combo is such an interesting concept. Never thought I'd see something like that in a fighting game.
Points for originality for sure 😎🤟🤩
21:39 That character you liked is General RAAM and the bats are called kryll. He is from the Gears of War franchise.
A franchise we for sure need to check out and has been requested a lot 😀
This game has so much passion in it love the music and the stages told a story for the characters too still play it to this day. Loved how they made the ultra's to a beat as well was a cool little touch, the soundtrack still probably one of my favorites from a fighting game with how diverse it is with some callbacks to the older songs along with the dynamic stages. Also man Shadow Jago's ultra combo is pretty sick still to this day.
😎🤟
The Killer Instinct series is a classic, I wish they would make another.
Never say never 🤗
I love Maya's ultra combo. The fact that she throws her daggers at you, and chill for a minute letting themslice you up and she shaking her head in disappointment, is by far a sassy finish lol.
And seeing Hisako all up in your face on a huge TV is even more of a NOPE moment lol
Yup. Hisako is frightening as hell 🫣 And nice call on the sassy finish 🙂
6:46 Gargos has actually a second Ultra Ender. The only requirement is : you must have your green health bar or you won't perform it.
Bummer we didn’t get to see it in this. Always one missing 😝
Oh you’d definitely love the character trailers, really brings out some of the characters even more than their ultras. Also, Hisako is easily my favorite female fighting game character ever and is up there as an all time fave, glad to see you two get creeped out by her LOL
She was sufficiently creepy haha 🫣
The TJ Combo character from this game as a Deathbattle with Barlog from Street fighter that was one of the most popular Deathbattles out there. Be sure to do a reaction to that!
We will for sure check it out 😀
Killer instinct is one of my favorite fighting games, you guys would probably like it since it’s a fast based fighting game kinda like mortal kombat a little bit
Perfect game for the button mash Queen 😛
Killer Instinct 🔥
A game way ahead of it's time
On top of that, a free to play game
Free 😀😎🤟
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yea 😅
Killer Instinct was known in arcades for its awesome soundtrack, which probably sold as much as the game itself. This version rolled with it and just scrolling up and down through the main menu chimes out the KI theme song.
😎🤟
oh man this is the best game right here killer instinct is my favorite game to play I just recently played the one on Xbox one and it is amazing
Nice! 😀
The character trailers for the whole cast is fantastic. They're theatrical, they're well-paced and well done, they're definitely worth a watch! A fellow TH-camr was actually hired to edit the trailers for some of them, he was a big fan of KI as a kid and it's a nice story to know going into watching the trailers. A sort of "dreams can come true" kind of story :)
Thanks for sharing that story with us 😀☺️🥳
The "frog" was a Battle Toad from the Battle Toad series of games. I was worried you guys wouldn't notice that Arbiter is from Halo. I suppose you guys haven't met him yet in your Halo playthrough.
Kan-ra's Ultra Combo was my favorite, but Hisako (the second creepy one) seems like the type of character I would main if I ever played this.
I LOVE HALO!!!! As a soon as he came up, I started fangurling!
We just finished first Halo and are starting Halo 2 this Friday 😀
It's great you guys reacted to this, to this day I still play this game, keep up the good work
The guy you said who sounds like a retro game, he's one of the toads from Battle Toads, which was pretty much a similar set up like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as for the guy you thought was from Halo, you're correct, he's the Arbiter from Halo 2, 3, and this is his design from Halo 5 Guardians.
Cool beans. We will see him in Halo 2 when we start playing on channel Friday 😀
If you don't know the giant turtle without a shell is Battle Road (old school game from the 90s/80s) big scary dude with Knife is General RAAM from Gears of War
Thanks for helping us with that 😀
Im really happy to see you guys looking at killer instinct one of my favorite games ever. Can't wait for you guys to check more in the future!
It was a fun intro into the franchise 😎🤟
KI is very loved by its community. There are entire docummentaries about it on youtube.
One of them about its sound design.
We can definitely see that about the sound design having a documentary 🙂
If y'all think Hisako was creepy, check out more Killer Instinct Ultimate of each characters and you'll see how she would do by possessing their opponents! 👍🏿
And yet, she is still good girl (or, at least, considerably less bad than, like, two thirds of cast)
😯😨
The variety of characters in this game is insane.
Yup 🤩
This game is SERIOUSLY slept on. Many casual players, extremely intimidated by the combo system, have never bothered trying the game out, which is a shame. Also to note, each ultra is a character theme song. Each character has their own trailer, so you could def check those out.
when I played the original, I had moves from Street Fighter memorized.
I thought this would have some of the same basic moves....... _nope!_
We plan to check out the character trailers at some point 🙂
Bit of trivia for you: Cinder's theme was done in part by James "Little V" Mills, he's a music teacher and heavy metal guitarist up here in Canada. He also has a TH-cam channel where he does metal covers of songs, it's well worth checking out: th-cam.com/users/LittleVMills
Thanks for sharing the link 🙂
Glad you mentioned how the music links into the Ultras.
It’s a cool game mechanic 🙂
I like how every characters do their combos and the music hits while doing it. We need more Killer Instinct games. Plus I love the first Killer Instinct 1994 theme song, it gets you pumped up. My favorite combo here was Shadow Jago, Jago, Orchid, and Rash.
Good picks 🙂
Killer Instinct had some cameos from other franchises. Rash is from Battletoads, General RAAM is
the main villain from Gears Of War 1 and Arbiter is one of the main characters from Halo 3
Tj combo and thunder are my mains and literally inspired my gamertag Chief Combo. In the 90s thunder was chief and he was a beast as he still is now. I'm alright with rash and cinder but tj and thunder ooh boi. Shoot they I even got my gamertag tattooed on my arm because I love gaming so much and KI made me believe in fighting games can be as good as this game.
Nice origin story 😁🥳😎🤟
Another really fun game. Fun fact, I bought my first Xbox One solely for Sabrewulf when this game was first revealed for SGC 2013. The game only launched with Jago and Sabrewulf and everybody else was released as DLC. But the instant I saw Sabre, I was immediately sold. A whole new $400-500 console for one fighting game character... To this day, this remains my favorite fighting game. And I honestly suck at fighting games like MK and SF. But KI was super easy to get in to.
Good thing there were other things for you to check out for that investment 🤑😜 This may be a fighting game we have to play at some point 🙂
"I have faced the flood and silenced Truth" you haven't experienced Halo 2, so you don't know about Arbiter. A high ranking elite and voiced by non other than Keith David. General Ramm is from Gears of War, Rash is from the infamous Battletoads. Glad you caught on that when the characters were doing their ultras it was syncing with their theme. Shadow Jago, and Jago are in fact the same person just that one is evil I'll let you figure out who. Killer Instinct is a Microsoft exclusive game and a free to play. The thing is you have to buy the characters that you want to play as. Hoping that one day we get either some Mortal Kombat characters in Killer Instinct or some Killer Instinct characters in Mortal Kombat, since they've been around since 94' 95'.
Ah, always a catch for the free to play. Nothing is free in life 🤑
The old school Killer Instinct games hold a special place in my heart...
☺️😎🤟
Omg I love Killer instinct and Rash is from Battletoads a famous hard game back on the NES. His outro is cause they haven't had a new game until sometime last year I believe. Old school beat em up games.
Old school beat ‘‘em up like Double Dragon 😀
My favorite characters of Killer Instinct:
1. Maya
2. TJ Combo
3. Kim Wu
4. Rash
5. Cinder
6. Jago
7. Hisako
8. Shadow Jago
9. Eagle
10. Thunder
11. Orchid
Maya gets the top spot! Nice 😀
4:01 That is General Raam from Gears of War game. He is a guest character in Killer Instinct.
4:55 And that is Rash from old classic retro game Battletoads. The one of the hardcore games that you don't wanna mess with. That is my childhood right there! Remember playing that game on NES. Ah, good old times.
9:47 Yes, that is the Arbiter from Halo. I only played Halo 1 and 2, so i only remember him from Halo 2 as a secondary playable character.
14:30 Also she was played for motion capture by Kerri Hoskins, that played Sonya in Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat 4! Thus, you can say that we have like two characters in one. HOW COOL IS THAT?!
20:41 Well, that is original version of Jago. The other version you saw was Shadow Jago, like evil version of him. It's like there is Ryu in Street Fighter but then there is Evil Ryu, or like in Mortal Kombat there is simple human Liu Kang but then there is Zombie Liu Kang. Stuff like that.
An okay. Every game needs some type of alternate version of a character. An evil devil shadow corrupted version 😈
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Well, yeah. Evil version of main characters are sometimes fun to play as.
Hey you guys should react to some Anime, like attack on titan. I consider it to be one of the greatest stories ever written.
We do plan to get to some Attack on Titan and other anime on our other channel that focuses on stuff outside of games th-cam.com/users/DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 🙂
One of the best Western fighting games no cap
😎🤟
The fact that they added General Raam from gears of war was so cool
My buddy used to play this at like a super high level. He was gonna go to some tournament, but then didn't... probably cause he couldn't drive 😂
General Raam is the main bad guy from Gears of War 1. There's a DLC for Gears 3 where you play as Raam is so dope.
He doesn’t have an Uber account or anything? A bus pass? Winning the tournament could pay for both it seems 😜🤑
5:22 that's because he was he's "Rash" from the Nintendo entertainment system game
Battletoads
Never played but heard it was crazy hard game 😯
back in 1994 the fight was on, between class mates who had Mortal Kombat, and those who had Killer Instinct.
it was the school-grade Ford vs Chevrolet of video games.
☺️😎🤟
Fulgores devastation bean sound is strangely satisfying and destructive
😛
Here the ultras are like make your musical theme of your own
Killer instinct have dynamic music based on situation. It can be agressive in battle and calm in neutral. Ultra sound is generating and instrument is depended on stage, so each character have many variation of it.
All thank to god of music - Mick Gordon. He also made music fot new Doom.
Combo system is very unique. It hard to describe. Some sort of custom combo
A game we want to explore more for sure 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It one of the few game with very good tutorial because it teach you many deep details that most tutorial don't desribes
Also keep in mind that Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon used this folklore of a vengeful spirit, combined it with tales of the ninja and added Ghost Rider.
What does that equal: SCORPION.
😎🤟
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Hisako has a purified form she has obtained called Shin Hisako, which means True Everlasting Child.
Shin Hisako is almost identical to Hisako, but with some drastic changes. She now wears the signature sode shoulder armor and suneate shin guards of a samurai, combined with a black and gold dress and a yellow flower attached to her hair. Her eyes are now bright gold, same goes for her aura to symbolize her purged spirit. No longer an onryō spirit, gone is the cursed dagger filled maw; her mouth and teeth now appear human. Discarding her late father's naginata, she now wields his katana which contains a coalesced Guardian assigned to help her in her duties as a gatekeeper.
The frog was from an old snes game, battle toads
And yes the Arbiter was from Halo
😎👍😀
The yellow bar is instinct. I't kind of a comeback mechanic. You can kind of use it 2x a match and it does a bunch of stuff depending on the character. Like Jago, his fireballs will heal him, TJ Combo gets more speed and if he has it when he loses, he comes back with 10% health. Mostly it fills character's weaknesses for a time. The purple bar at the bottom is your basic meter you spend to do special moves and it feeds into the combo system.
One cool thing about the music is it actually changes depending on player actions. Like for example if nobody does anything it's actually ramp down and became more melodic. Even with the Ultras you have to input all those moves so you can control the melody somewhat. I really can't name anyone that put that much effort into the music for a fighting game.
And also to have different music for the combos on different levels is kind of crazy dedicated 😯
The so called “frogs” are actually the battle toads from the old school games in the 1990s or somewhere.
😎👍🙂
The Green toad who you described as a Ninja Turtle but without the shell is one of the 3 BattleToads and his name is Rash.
Battletoads was a classic beat em up game that started on the NES(which is why his sound effects sound 8-bit.)
The Battletoads' abilities are shape-shifting their hands, feets, and heads like giant fist, giant boot with or without spikes, ram horn or football helmet, power drill, hammer, wrecking ball, circular saw, even a forklift bulldozer.
😎👍😀 Sounds like a fun game
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It is also brutally difficult.
Killer Instinct games are known for having the best music. The soundtracks for all 3 games are on TH-cam.
Music is fantastic in the game 😎🤟
This game speaks in all caps. Also fun fact. If you use the classic costume on fulgore and do his ultimate, if you look closely you can make out the Rare symbol which were the original creators of killer instinct before microsoft bought the rights.
Nice fun fact there 😀 also love that first sentence 😂 ultraaaaaaaaa
UUUULLLTTTRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Love this franchise, since playing it in the arcades. The reboot on Xbox One was the reason I bought the system.
😎🤟 i want that announcer dude to record a welcome message for when I come home welcoooooooooommmmmmme 😝
The guy that looks like a ninja turtle is actually a Battle Toad from a different franchise
We heard one of the toughest games on SNES 😯
Please check out the KI stage ultras and finishers if you can, love that you guys reacted to this game
We do plan to check out some more KI 🙂
Dawn I remember this old school game SNES
🙂
I play tested this game when they made the move to PC. It's easily my favorite fighting game alongside Tekken.
😎🤟
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!
Our pleasure 🥳🥳
the insane thing about this game music combos have their own notes to the hit that every ultra is it's own music
It’s very creative way to incorporate music in the game 😀
Rash ( the frog) is from Battle Toads a hard NES game, general raam is from the Gears franchise
😎👍🙂
Fun fact: thunder and eagle are brothers from the nez perce tribe. And they actually went to the tribe and got real nez perce art clothing and also weapons.
They also got real feedback from the tribe and worked with them to make them more accurate. The best part?? They showed the game demo to nez perce kids and they could see one of their own in a video game that's not stereotyped.
Awesome video guys hope for more!
Hisako used to give everybody nightmares
We believe it 🫣
Rash - Battletoads
Raam - Gears of War
Arbiter - Halo
Thanks! 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames No problem. And yes the first game is in NES.
Your reaction to Hisako was exactly what I wanted to see from y'all lol
There is technically 3 versions of jago, you got the regular one you have shadow jago that's been taken over by an evil spirit, that spirit being omen which is why they have similar moves
😎👍🙂
That one character you notice is indeed from Halo called Arbiter. Both Halo and KI are properties of Microsoft so I assume they thought it'be cool to bring Arbiter into KI. In the KI tournaments, Arbiter was one of the strongest characters which was later nerfed.
Killer Instict had a few crossover characters.
Rash was from an old game called Battletoads on the NES.
The guy with the laser sword, was Arbiter from, what you guessed, Halo.
And General Raam, the prison shank guy, was from Gears of War.
Always like the character crossovers 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yeah they are always pretty fun
I remember playing this game in Arcade Room in town in 90'. I saw a guy did a 94 hits combo with Orchid on a Arcade Game of Killer Instinct 2. You should watch the ultra of the older games Killer Instinct 1 & 2 also. I love the voice off who tell "tittle" of Combo. Awesome combo / killer combo / monster combo and the famous Ultraaaa Ultraaaa Ultraaa !!!!
It’s a fun game we will be coming back to to check out more 🙂
Characters in KI is based on some hollywood movies and comics.
Fun fact: Orchid's private background is that she's American born, that Jago is her half-younger brother; and that their father was a soldier named Jacob.
Nice little background info 🙂
If you like the sounds of the music with each hit, then you’ll love the uninterrupted music of each character. Absolutely Killer!
Fulgore and TJ Combo are my favorite characters, Killer instinct is a kick ass game
😎🤟
haven't seen killer instinct in years, nice to see it's still going strong
I can see you both freak out about the hisako entry and I don't blame you guys which I loved hisako so much as her ultra combo and the win entry.
She was very effective in her design 🫣
KI used to be Xbox exclusive so yeah, it was a Halo character there) also cant wait for KI-2, its such a unique fighting game, it just needs modern graphics
Was told that was a Halo character we will meet in Halo 2 which we are playing next
KI is badass. Just a bunch of cool ass 90s ass characters duking it out.
😛
Ken, Bethany, Thank You For My Request.
Enjoy The ULTRAAAAAAAAA!!!
Haha, we definitely enjoyed them 😊🥳
Shoutouts to Mike the Announcer. The game wouldn't have felt as hype without him.
So much nastaligia seeing some of the charachters still in the game who were there when i played killer instinct 2 in the 90s
☺️
God damn i loved this game so much!!! Im glad youre reacting to this😄😄😄😄😄
Has a nice flare to it 🤩
the actual character trailers is where it's at.
We will check those out at some point 🙂
Fun factoid: when i was a kid playing skyrim, i created a lizard guy (argonian) and named him khan’rah, very damn close to the mummies name, khanra. I always joked that they stole my character.😂
Haha, they totally stole it 😜
I like how the man called general ram a cross between killer croc and they forget who else he said general ram was crossed with but I really like the general ram one that one was pretty cool
POSTAL 4: No Regerts - Early Access Trailer #2
POSTAL 4 - Leaving Early Access Announcement Trailer
Maybe ? You will definitely laugh
We can for sure add it to our list 🙂
Man, I've seen a few of these "All supers" reaction from you two, and it made me realize how confusing they must be to people unfamiliar with the games. This one was better than most, but it did the characters in reverse, starting with the bosses and alternate forms, ending on the main characters. Plus the dude in the video kept missing the combo enders! For suggestions, I would say the trailers, I wouldn't recommend the finishers, they're kind of tacked on. Maybe the classic finishers, since they include "humiliations" which force the opponent to do a boogie dance.
A boogie dance? 😂 we gotta see those
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Here's a good compilation of the classic finishers in case you need it, copy this to the url bar: watch?v=3tDOY-hd5Xs
15:44 IS THAT ARBITOR FROM HALO!!!??? IF IT IS... I LOVE IT!!!!
That’s what we’ve been told 😀
If you have never played this and your into fighting games I highly recommend it takes a while to get used to but so much fun
We heard it can be tough to get the combos down 😅
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes it can be
