Still my fav fighting game of all time. People were hung on on street fighter 2 for ten years...when the true superior fighting game was always Killer Instinct. Sick combos that flow, special moves, shadow moves, COMBO BREAKERS, ultimate combos, ULTRA combos, fatalities mid battle. Fuck now I feel like playing KI
They’re called “no mercy” finishers (which people call fatalities). Ultimate combos are a combination of ultras and no mercy finishers. In other words, he’s neither wrong nor a “dummy”.
dude this is awesome.. i think that great part of what makes killer instinct so wonderful its the dude that tells you the kind of combo you did.. uuuultraaaa cooombo... that guy rocks
Exactly! It's amazing how well the graphics and sound have held up over the years. I'd be loving it if they gave it the HD treatment and put it on Xbox Live!
You have one good knowledge of jago. I still can't figure out the 13 hit combo + ender. But I'm going frame by frame to see what you do! I'll get it eventually XD
All time best game ever and the graphics and Physics are still sick! This game was way ahead of it's time fighting games haven't improved that much since 95.
No doubt, cuz! My brothers and I were like the mob in the arcades back when it was alive! we were not hard to find. Lookin' for us? if we were'nt at the house, we were at the 'cade. Runnin' posers and wannabes up outta there with sho-ryu-kens and psycho-crushers! The arcade has some of my most popular memories, especially of sending people home broke!
Hell yeah, especially when fulgore would do his turret-head finisher! I felt bad everytime i used that move because my opponent probably really felt like they were being shot!
Everything bout this game hit on all cyclinders the Music,Combos,Characters and the Endings i'd say its better than any of the fighting games in todays standards
I used to be nasty in this game back in the days. Killer gold didnt have as much success as the snes one, but it was awesome... i hope they release the game for the wii console
They should definitely have this on XBLA. I drool when I think how awesome the lightning effects would be in a KI XBLA version. Check out the lightning effects in Geometry Wars 2 and then imagine them as Jago's endokuken or other such lightning projectiles that are in Killer Instinct.
Amen this game was the most impressive game for me of its time. Roll on KI3, surely by now you will have heard that Microsoft will have renewed the KI licience which means we could see KI3 or a KI-HD
i wish i was old enough around that time T.T my sis was a pro at the arcade lol she keeps telling me about the arcade version of this game and Mk1 lol...
I though this game was a cheesy copy of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter with doopey looking characters but the graphics and combos where unreal! Still are today!
@juanRevilR solose puede despues de haber hecho un COMBO BRAKER, la barra de salud quedacon un destello al final... de ahi haces la "U" dos veces mas el boton
Yeah when this was in the arcade it blew Mortal Kombat and just about every arcade game out of the world. I wish this game was on 360 arcade. Cause I cant afford a 900 dollar arcade machine. I want one so bad!
thanks a bunch man, the game is working fine now. is that how you get games to work on the mame then, make a folder, get the chd file and put the chd file in the folder?
hey buddy...is this xbox or comp? if xbox, got some questions for ya....do you have to upgrade ram to make this run right on the xbox? and what version xbox do you have? i have a 1.0 from '01...old...that im thinking about modding. What do you think?
the local arcade had this game and the sound wuz looooooooooooooooooud as a kid it sorta scared me to play cuz it hurt my ears but i man up and played it
I've never played this. It looks really simple though, but good. Is this more like MK, where it is a button masher and anyone can do this, or is it like street fighter, with deep but easy to learn gameplay and youre just a pro.
Hey man, please help. Could be possible for you to write the secuence of the main combos?, for example I liked the one you perfomed on Sabrewulf. Hope you can do this. By the way, Mame emulation is much better in KI 1 & 2 than in U64emu, the latter has some bugs and sometimes I got it frozen. Thanks!
jemgarcons, is tekken working in the same was of KI in mame? I mean, I play KI flawessly, but tekken is too slow. Is that because the CHD file, etc etc (MK4 same) Thanks.
read the official comics of it ..i have all of them.the first KI had a more baritone announcer.i know its stupid,but it wasnt based on who made the tournament.though it would of made since if it did
microsoft should have the arcade version of killer instinct 1 & 2 on XBLA. the arcade version is better suited for 720p, 1080i, and 1080p gameplay, the xbox 360 is more than capable to handle the version because the version came from a simpler era.
jago é un grande, il miglior ninja esistente se non fosse per 'i'm a ninja!' haha manca un colpetto per l'ultra da 32, il colpo dall'alto verso il basso prima di cominciare la serie, di fatto si aggrega a quasi tutti gl'ultra se non mi sbaglio Grande gioco!!!
Amen to that SF3sfan. As for being a noob, How many here can say they competed at ECC2000 other than myself. I've played against some of the biggest names in street fighter and held my own. I've been playing fighting games since the sf2 world warrior. That's the first version of the game for all you noobs out there And if KI is so great, then why haven't we seen a sequel since '96.
Man... these videos are such a blast from the past. I remember watching these back in 2008. Time flies like a mofo like you don't have idea.
the quality is the same. The mame version need at least a 2,6 ghz cpu to run it perfectly, were the U64emu works fine on a PIII 800 mhz.
Still my fav fighting game of all time.
People were hung on on street fighter 2 for ten years...when the true superior fighting game was always Killer Instinct. Sick combos that flow, special moves, shadow moves, COMBO BREAKERS, ultimate combos, ULTRA combos, fatalities mid battle.
Fuck now I feel like playing KI
in Killer Instinct there's no fatality dummy there's only Ultra combos
other words they're not fatalities they're called ultimate combos
They’re called “no mercy” finishers (which people call fatalities). Ultimate combos are a combination of ultras and no mercy finishers. In other words, he’s neither wrong nor a “dummy”.
This was my favorite arcade game EVER! I love the way the computer/narrator seems to shout at you louder the higher your combo is...
"C-C-C-C COMBO BREAKER!" that shit never gets old....
The music was and is amazing and I still have the OST that came with Killer Instinct on SNES. Good times
dude this is awesome.. i think that great part of what makes killer instinct so wonderful its the dude that tells you the kind of combo you did.. uuuultraaaa cooombo... that guy rocks
Exactly! It's amazing how well the graphics and sound have held up over the years.
I'd be loving it if they gave it the HD treatment and put it on Xbox Live!
Classic game. Gotta love those combos !
You have one good knowledge of jago. I still can't figure out the 13 hit combo + ender. But I'm going frame by frame to see what you do! I'll get it eventually XD
I looove its coolness and dynamics. Aimed for perfection.
All time best game ever and the graphics and Physics are still sick! This game was way ahead of it's time fighting games haven't improved that much since 95.
I love the dark style this game has. It's a lot more dark than its counterparts street fighter and in some ways, even Mortal Kombat.
I remember when I was more addicted to Killer Instinct than I was Mortal Kombat when it first came out.
No doubt, cuz! My brothers and I were like the mob in the arcades back when it was alive! we were not hard to find. Lookin' for us? if we were'nt at the house, we were at the 'cade. Runnin' posers and wannabes up outta there with sho-ryu-kens and psycho-crushers! The arcade has some of my most popular memories, especially of sending people home broke!
this game was so intense in the arcade's always a shit load of people lined up to play it. miss those times!
I Have the u64 too I love it. Took me FOREVER to find the games KI1 and KI2 but after a few days of serching I found it.
I love when Jago vs Jago and he dose the COMBO BREAKER SOO SICK!!
I remember when this first came out for the arcade, everybody liked playing with orchid.
I had this game back in 1998. it was tight.
Hell yeah, especially when fulgore would do his turret-head finisher! I felt bad everytime i used that move because my opponent probably really felt like they were being shot!
Killer Instinct had the fastest & coolest combos & moves even the annonucer sounds cool Ultra Combooooooo!!
LOL!! Saberwulf disco dancing, looks like Rare has been paying attentio to Midway's Mortal Kombat
Everything bout this game hit on all cyclinders the Music,Combos,Characters and the Endings i'd say its better than any of the fighting games in todays standards
i like the declaration of peace on that first round with Sabrewulf lol
damn thats Jago's bad ass combos and his ultra combo
at the time it was either sf2 turbo or mk. And this beat those games by miles in the visual department. It honestly still looks pretty solid today.
no, with an xbox 360 gamepad for windows
I used to be nasty in this game back in the days. Killer gold didnt have as much success as the snes one, but it was awesome... i hope they release the game for the wii console
wow dude ur prretty good with jago
They should definitely have this on XBLA. I drool when I think how awesome the lightning effects would be in a KI XBLA version. Check out the lightning effects in Geometry Wars 2 and then imagine them as Jago's endokuken or other such lightning projectiles that are in Killer Instinct.
ok ok im a little jealous you played awesome with jago thank ya
Haha when you did the humiliation to sabrewulf the bats was dancing too HAHAHAHAHAHA
I never understood how that works. I've tried to download and play mame games b4 but there's always a file missing :(
Amen this game was the most impressive game for me of its time. Roll on KI3, surely by now you will have heard that Microsoft will have renewed the KI licience which means we could see KI3 or a KI-HD
i wish i was old enough around that time T.T my sis was a pro at the arcade lol she keeps telling me about the arcade version of this game and Mk1 lol...
@MasterMacLeod which means its solid and I'll be checking it out.
Best fighting game Nintendo ever released........period
Question: How many characters have you done on Arcade? Are there any plans for more to be completed?
@kalebparham It plays more like SF with dial combos fused with target combos.
killer instinct goes in my top 10 favorite games of all time oh yeah and i still got the killer cuts cd ha!
Not a coincidence since Rare was releasing the game through Midway.
btw what do you use to record games with ? i tryed fraps and that mess everything up :P
ULTRAAA COMBOOOO!!!! LOL awesome..
orchid pwned @ 6:50
Whats with the shadow when Jago does some of his moves?
NICE! Very entertaining!
even now, i'm amazed at the graphics.
wow you are awesome with jago&glacius
I lol so hard when Jago gets hit and knocked to the ground because it sounds like he says "AAAAH F**K!"
notice how the bg for orchid there was a tv showing u64 logo?
the way the buttons were set up you would have to use all six while charging back or forward for the next move.
Well, Virtual Console now has Arcade games, so hopefully this game, along with Killer Instinct 2, will be released.
ULLLTRAAAAAAAA COOOOMBOOOOOOOOOOO Che Figata!!!!!
Lol is it me?
Or is beating up sabrewolf the most fun because of the howling he does..
Nice video..game bring backs memories..
This right here is the mother of all fighting games, and I have the ARCADE version of it on my laptop, absolutely FREE!!!! =}
years and years old and it still doesnt look outdated. Did you Figure out how to Enabel 32bit color and Antilising?
I though this game was a cheesy copy of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter with doopey looking characters but the graphics and combos where unreal! Still are today!
i would love to see this game online,now a days.
By the way you had some pretty good combos. =]
I agree, the snes one is more dynamic and have a cleaner combat/conter-system.
(sorry to say)
the new MK should make a Killer Instinct dlc that has all the fighters and a seperate story mode as to how their battle brought them to Mortal Kombat.
it was eyedol talking on the 1st version..and gargos in ki2
damn sabrewolf has some dancemoves!!! lmfao
What difficulty did you utilize?
nothin short of sick
How the hell does this game only have one sequel. There's so much game here. Will somebody make KI3 PLEASE!
What emulator did you use? Or did you record from your arcade?
shit jago has some really awesome combos
@juanRevilR solose puede despues de haber hecho un COMBO BRAKER, la barra de salud quedacon un destello al final... de ahi haces la "U" dos veces mas el boton
Yeah when this was in the arcade it blew Mortal Kombat and just about every arcade game out of the world. I wish this game was on 360 arcade. Cause I cant afford a 900 dollar arcade machine. I want one so bad!
Question what type of Joystick did u use... and how did u manage to make work????
thanks a bunch man, the game is working fine now. is that how you get games to work on the mame then, make a folder, get the chd file and put the chd file in the folder?
hey buddy...is this xbox or comp? if xbox, got some questions for ya....do you have to upgrade ram to make this run right on the xbox? and what version xbox do you have? i have a 1.0 from '01...old...that im thinking about modding. What do you think?
how do you do a red fire ball and redo that kick thing in combos w/o nocking them down
the local arcade had this game and the sound wuz looooooooooooooooooud as a kid it sorta scared me to play cuz it hurt my ears but i man up and played it
the arcade version of this gane its awesomeeeeee!! bring it to the wii virtual console, it can handle it no problem.
true im praying dat they put this game on xbox live it will be crazy online
I've never played this. It looks really simple though, but good. Is this more like MK, where it is a button masher and anyone can do this, or is it like street fighter, with deep but easy to learn gameplay and youre just a pro.
Which platform were you using to play this?Mame on PC?
damn i miss this game
Hey man, please help. Could be possible for you to write the secuence of the main combos?, for example I liked the one you perfomed on Sabrewulf. Hope you can do this.
By the way, Mame emulation is much better in KI 1 & 2 than in U64emu, the latter has some bugs and sometimes I got it frozen.
Thanks!
jemgarcons, is tekken working in the same was of KI in mame? I mean, I play KI flawessly, but tekken is too slow. Is that because the CHD file, etc etc (MK4 same) Thanks.

read the official comics of it ..i have all of them.the first KI had a more baritone announcer.i know its stupid,but it wasnt based on who made the tournament.though it would of made since if it did
HOLY SHIT DUDE YOUR AWESOME

manca un colpetto per l'ultra da 32, il colpo dall'alto verso il basso prima di cominciare la serie, di fatto si aggrega a quasi tutti gl'ultra se non mi sbaglio
Grande gioco!!!
I miss the good ol' days of awesome arcade experiences. Arcades are dead now...
nintendo is the ones that started combos in beat em ups
Jago is my favorite character, but don't you notice that he has a big neck?
Ultraaaaaaaa Comboooooooo
going to guess on a hard level, because that's you can get the ending of your character after the game.
The arcade version was WAY better than the SNES version. Same for the arcade version of KI2 against the N64 KI Gold version.
Amen to that SF3sfan. As for being a noob, How many here can say they competed at ECC2000 other than myself. I've played against some of the biggest names in street fighter and held my own.

Amazing
I wish Nintendo didn't let Rare go. They made a great team.
once this guy gets his combo going hes unstopable
they can't far as i understand, rare is now working for microsoft. thus the games coming out on 360, but we may get an Xbox Live Port tho!!
i read online that they want to do that. put it on xbox live arcade so hopefully it wont just be a rumor that never happens
They should use the original combo announcer for it then. I never get tired if hearing C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
