This game is the most fluent fighting game I've seen other games look very choppy compared to this, I personally like Thunder, he may be "clunky" but what do you expect from a grappling character. Like Zangief in Street Fighter but can be very effective.The Mohawk was indeed very stereotypical im glad they rebooted his look Max keep doing what you do man I really need to see this live soon
Glad you're doing Thunder, I see alot of people who get frustrated with the character and think he isn't good to use. This shows a lot of Thunder's best traits
Agreed. So glad I went ahead and got the stick. Spent the past 3 weeks trying to get one and being duped everywhere. Said fuck it and just snagged one off ebay. Can't wait to to actually put my skills to good use lol.
Completely random; many characters in this look and act like fighting game bosses in terms of what they're capable of and how impressive their stuff looks. With that in mind, what the hell is an 'end of arcade mode boss' going to be in this game?
We asked, and we have been rewarded! Week of Thunder!?! Max you have the best channel because you post great content but more importantly you satisfy your viewers
Once you start using Thunder it's hard to go back to anyone else. He is so much fun and can be hard to read as not many player use him. The ones that do are really good.
All I remember when ki 1st came to arcades was everyone using orchid at the time, I was and always will b a MK KID though...this one does look fun ill admit.
It's good to have a Chief Thunder week, although I wish they didn't strip the Chief of his sacred bird. You know the one? His Ranged Attack from Original KI? I don't know why they got rid of that move, since it's so helpful for a character like him to have that move. Bring The Chief His Phoenix Back, Double Helix! (Possibly in a patch?)
hey max i just bought a fightstick "totally new to it" would love a video showing you how you hold it and hand position etc im torn between holding the stick like a wine glass or pinching it? think that could be a cool video to do.
double helix(microsoft) should ban for hours for anyone who get DC in a ranked match.... it's so bad for the community in general even in someone got DC for a internet problem should get banned cause they should have a estable connection for online game.. that's a gamers #1rule
EbonMaster im talking about a few hours... like "sorry for this ban but your internet is having issues with this game and the online community, try to fix them and your welcome again in about 1-2 hours" if you have internet problems you shouldn't try to play online games in general, it's just my opinion of course. it could be first just minutes or something but if the issues with the same user goes repetitive, that minute mark should increase, cause can be that or his ragequitting or he doesn't care about repairing his internet
I know what youre talking about, its still not a good idea. You do realize that there are areas where its pretty much impossible to get a stable internet connection, right? Im not talking about third world countries, I mean like parts of America. Implementing a system that, say, stops you from earning points in ranked for a certain amount of time if you disconnect a certain number of times would make much more sense than punishing someone for living where they live so harshly.
Good stuff max i am also a thunder player and getting to know him better each round ! I would also enjoy seeing whats the longest ultra you can do with thunder without counterbreakers? So far mine has been 131
So activating an ultra stops rage quits? Cause I believe I have had dudes rage quit on me even after I've done an ultra. Though I used the ultra ender.
I like Thunder the most. Not sure why you can't like him. But a thing what a lot will see as trolling and other as feedback: but myself, a european, can't go always to his streams... in fact he mainly streams when I have go to work early... But the biggest issue here: unfortunately if he uploads footage from his stream it's kinda "low" quality. If the picture stands still it's ok. Yet if there is a lot of motion or particles the picture gets a lot of pixel junk... and that's kinda annoying :( Especially if you know that Max can bring better
About the video quality: when Max started streaming, a lot of people were talking about dropped frames and the video buffering too slowly. His picture quality was incredible (video bitrate high) but it alienated a lot of viewers as a result.
One is using the wrong input to break, IE trying to break lights while the guy is doing mediums. The orange is trying to break during an unbreakable moment, like during a certain part of a shadow move.
There never was a point in rage quitting. Players should just do nothing and let the opponent finish them off then after the loss they should just take a deep breath, leave the console alone for a while. I evade rage quitters, in most games. if I see a disconnect rate over 5% then I won't accept the ranked fight. Heck even in Darkstalkers Resurrection I saw some brit with a disconnect rate of 25%.
Max is just really good at fighting games. I've tried the free version of this game at a sibling's house, since they had an Xbone, and I can barely manage a simple Starter-Auto-Linker-Auto-Ender without it being 50/50 Mash and Muscle Memory. And that's without pressure (The Dojo), but then again I'm not that good at fighting games.
It's a stupid thing with animation of the bar. When you lose XP you get the animation of it depleting, but when you gain no XP it also gives you the same animation. When he beats lower rank people he gets no XP so he gets the depleting animation. He doesn't lose any XP it just looks like he does.
Ah thats kinda misleading and stupid, even if hes fighting lower ranked people he should atleast get exp. I mean he worked for it atleast give him a little
DemonLord Odin The devs have been hinting that the next patch will change the ranking system so that it works exactly like this. You'll gain more XP for winning against people who are higher level than you, but you'll never lose XP for losing to people (regardless of their level).
FINALLY KILLER INSTINCT VIDS ARE BACK!!
"Nooo I wanna live and be free" , that was hilarious, I don't know why
The head stomp is like the crunchiest of Doritos
Thunders head stomp ender sounds so Crunchy :P
We want the
Bear accessories
The Thunder bear accessories
Forget about the headdress and the wolf
I asked. Max delivered. You da man Max!
LOL THAT RAGE QUIT IN THE FIRST MATCH!!!
What a way to end 2013... with a week of Chief Thunder.
Or start 2014.
I wanna see that psychic Jago match where he first hit combo breaks everything for like 7 combos
The calm before the storm. . .
AND HERE'S THE STORM!
This game is the most fluent fighting game I've seen other games look very choppy compared to this, I personally like Thunder, he may be "clunky" but what do you expect from a grappling character. Like Zangief in Street Fighter but can be very effective.The Mohawk was indeed very stereotypical im glad they rebooted his look Max keep doing what you do man I really need to see this live soon
WEEK OF THUNDER!!!!
Yes I am catching it a little after the stream by only about 3yrs though 😂
FINALLY WEEK OF THE BEST CHARACTER
THUNDAR! THUNDAR! THUNDAR! Hoooooooo!!!
Silly. It's 'THUNDER-MAN, HOOO!'.
Bloodlyshiva
Thunder Man Gets all the Hoes?
YES! It's about time! I've been waiting for Thunder week for way too long!
That ragequit

Better stay inside, it's going to be a week of thunder! xD
xD
"Katse yao yao"
Thunder
First match - RAAGGGGGGGGGE QQUUUUUUUUUITTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEERR!!!
Thank you! No one likes rage-quitters...Really spoils your gaming experience.
Glad you're doing Thunder, I see alot of people who get frustrated with the character and think he isn't good to use. This shows a lot of Thunder's best traits
It has begun...this was long awaited...the Chief is in the building..
Man arcade fighter's have been dead to me every since Playstation 2 but this tho! Yooooo!
This is definitely going on my Gamefly Q!
Yessir...this will be the real deal in 2014 Brandon Horton
Brandon Horton Ummmm, this is a digital title. There aren't any retail discs of Killer Instinct, so I don't think you can add it to your GF Q lol.
Yup got that earlier. It's impossible to play this with the Xbox controller.
Agreed. So glad I went ahead and got the stick. Spent the past 3 weeks trying to get one and being duped everywhere. Said fuck it and just snagged one off ebay. Can't wait to to actually put my skills to good use lol.
I tried to watch this live but one of my favorite streamers was live at the same time. Thank god he puts it up on youtube!
you can still watch the whole thing on twitch its like 2 hours long and he does something else for another 2
THE THUNDER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our Dream Has Finally Came! THUNDER!!!!
Come*
Andrew Lee i'd say jay4gamers1 came :^)
Time to bring the thunder with this Week Of!! :D
Thank You Max
lol Ha-cha-cha-cha-cha! Cant wait to meet you online!
Completely random; many characters in this look and act like fighting game bosses in terms of what they're capable of and how impressive their stuff looks. With that in mind, what the hell is an 'end of arcade mode boss' going to be in this game?
He's gonna have to be pretty bloody impressive to match up.
as soon as i seen this i had to outburst "THUNDAAAAHHH!!!!"
Good Stuff Max. I gotta catch one of these live someday : o
Happy new year Max!!!
i saw most of this stream yesterday it was awesome
THUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNDER!!!!! is my favorite this is all
We asked, and we have been rewarded! Week of Thunder!?! Max you have the best channel because you post great content but more importantly you satisfy your viewers
If only he was black, then it would be CHOCOLATE THUNDAAAA
Week of Thunder? More like Week of Max bullying everyone at 2014
Since this is the 1st ragequit seen on Max's KI videos, the RAGEQUITTER sound effect must be brought back. Who's with me?
"K-K-K-Kembo Breakehhh!"
Max should become an announcer in KI
it has begun...
RIP Thunder mohawk.
Let's start the year right!!
Did Killer instinct honestly misspell Journeyman and made it a bright and shiny title?
They couldn't squeeze it in. Or it's an intended typo.
Max is definitely calling the earth with Thunder, I love playing Thunder in this game :)
11:50 waiting for him to jump...Max gets clipped
Max, one player who is really good with "the man" is Mr. gRiMmmz. Most of his combos are manuals as well. I'd love to see you guys duke it out.
I passed by a demo of Killer Instinct in a mall and all you could hear was some guy yelling "flick flack"
Lol at that match with Orchid, Max needs to stop being so thirsty for Counter Breakers when the opponent isn't doing anything. XD
That CobraTango dude has rage quit on me twice.
The title need to be changed to "Bear Accessories week!"
THE THUNDER WEEK!!
it be cool if sp00n played this with max
Wow. I just noticed Thunder has what looks to be the same attack that Alex does in 3rd Strike where he lunges forward with his one foot
Max you mai nigga!! Have a dope new year ^-__^
racist
LOL that stream delay in the background. Hachachacha.
What's so good about KI? It looks too repetivite.
Once you start using Thunder it's hard to go back to anyone else. He is so much fun and can be hard to read as not many player use him. The ones that do are really good.
Activating Ultra usually makes them quit though.
i played this game yesterday..fucking amazing.
Woo! Yea! WEEK OF Thunder!!
Opposite for me Thunder is my most used character! BOSS
The watchatchatchatchas in this video are off the charts !
All I remember when ki 1st came to arcades was everyone using orchid at the time, I was and always will b a MK KID though...this one does look fun ill admit.
THUNDER!!
The lesson learned is that we should quit when cobra tango shows up.
Where there's Thunder, there's some poor guy getting his ass beat.
R-R-R-R-RAGEQUITTER!
Week of thunder is finally here! i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/TheMadMadman/2h4lul3.gif
How do I watch you streaming? Can't get enough!
BTW, more Orchid please!
you should start the week of thunder with the song you made for him
I always get that in Marvel right when I'm about to beat the person, they rage quit and I dont the win which pisses me off
It's good to have a Chief Thunder week, although I wish they didn't strip the Chief of his sacred bird. You know the one? His Ranged Attack from Original KI? I don't know why they got rid of that move, since it's so helpful for a character like him to have that move. Bring The Chief His Phoenix Back, Double Helix! (Possibly in a patch?)
Let's hype with Banjo
CAN YOU PAINT WITH ALL THE COLOOOORRRSSS OF THE WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNDD?
I feel bad for their necks.
HAW CHAW CHAW CHAW!
:D YAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!! LOVE! *hugs* Thanks for uploading this! Yer awesome!
Thunder needs to stop skipping leg day.
hey max i just bought a fightstick "totally new to it" would love a video showing you how you hold it and hand position etc im torn between holding the stick like a wine glass or pinching it? think that could be a cool video to do.
It's best to work out your own style when it comes to playing stick. Just keep on practising until you find out what's most comfortable for you.
aight dude will give it afew weeks see which style takes my fancy.
Max can you upload those matches you had with Rico? Those were awesome!
double helix(microsoft) should ban for hours for anyone who get DC in a ranked match.... it's so bad for the community in general
even in someone got DC for a internet problem should get banned cause they should have a estable connection for online game.. that's a gamers #1rule
True, hell implement the LoL penalty system that'll teach em!
Or they could just implement a system that discourages ragequitting. Banning someone for having internet problems would just be stupid.
EbonMaster im talking about a few hours... like "sorry for this ban but your internet is having issues with this game and the online community, try to fix them and your welcome again in about 1-2 hours"
if you have internet problems you shouldn't try to play online games in general, it's just my opinion of course.
it could be first just minutes or something but if the issues with the same user goes repetitive, that minute mark should increase, cause can be that or his ragequitting or he doesn't care about repairing his internet
I know what youre talking about, its still not a good idea. You do realize that there are areas where its pretty much impossible to get a stable internet connection, right? Im not talking about third world countries, I mean like parts of America.
Implementing a system that, say, stops you from earning points in ranked for a certain amount of time if you disconnect a certain number of times would make much more sense than punishing someone for living where they live so harshly.
EbonMaster that could work too
KI snooze
Max confirmed Native American.
4:04 Glacius looks like the rapist sloth meme.
Is their a way for sabrewulf to punish greesyass's up heavy kick?
Good stuff max i am also a thunder player and getting to know him better each round ! I would also enjoy seeing whats the longest ultra you can do with thunder without counterbreakers? So far mine has been 131
this rage quitting is just rediculous
So this is a Jimmy Durante week?
Now everyone with an xbox, go report CobraTango.
I also completed all the training trials it was hell lol
So activating an ultra stops rage quits? Cause I believe I have had dudes rage quit on me even after I've done an ultra. Though I used the ultra ender.
I like Thunder the most. Not sure why you can't like him.
But a thing what a lot will see as trolling and other as feedback: but myself, a european, can't go always to his streams... in fact he mainly streams when I have go to work early... But the biggest issue here: unfortunately if he uploads footage from his stream it's kinda "low" quality. If the picture stands still it's ok. Yet if there is a lot of motion or particles the picture gets a lot of pixel junk... and that's kinda annoying :( Especially if you know that Max can bring better
About the video quality: when Max started streaming, a lot of people were talking about dropped frames and the video buffering too slowly. His picture quality was incredible (video bitrate high) but it alienated a lot of viewers as a result.
What does KI have in place for ragequitting?
I rarely fight Jago, it's mostly Glacius and sabrewulf:(
so if you quit the match b4 you lose you dont lose the match........that needs to be fix asap
What's the difference between the red lockout and the orange?
One is using the wrong input to break, IE trying to break lights while the guy is doing mediums. The orange is trying to break during an unbreakable moment, like during a certain part of a shadow move.
Oh mai, rage quit the 1st match? lol
i never saw the point in rage quitting. its just a game that means nothing is is there for fun. it means nothing
There never was a point in rage quitting.
Players should just do nothing and let the opponent finish them off then after the loss they should just take a deep breath, leave the console alone for a while.
I evade rage quitters, in most games. if I see a disconnect rate over 5% then I won't accept the ranked fight.
Heck even in Darkstalkers Resurrection I saw some brit with a disconnect rate of 25%.
i just dont get it. most of the time rage quitting does more harm then good.
so to any rage quitters why?
How simple is this game that everyone knows how to use all the characters?
Max is just really good at fighting games. I've tried the free version of this game at a sibling's house, since they had an Xbone, and I can barely manage a simple Starter-Auto-Linker-Auto-Ender without it being 50/50 Mash and Muscle Memory. And that's without pressure (The Dojo), but then again I'm not that good at fighting games.
Can anyone explain the ranking system? I mean when he won a match the bar went down and when lost a match the bar also when down, please explain.
It's a stupid thing with animation of the bar. When you lose XP you get the animation of it depleting, but when you gain no XP it also gives you the same animation. When he beats lower rank people he gets no XP so he gets the depleting animation. He doesn't lose any XP it just looks like he does.
Ah thats kinda misleading and stupid, even if hes fighting lower ranked people he should atleast get exp. I mean he worked for it atleast give him a little
