i like this because it shows that's it not about the money or even the glory, it's just coming and achieving the goal you set out to achieve and proving you're the best
dude, I've never played killer instinct but even if admit that that ullltrrrraaaaaaaa combo sound is the most epic and satisfying effect in video games to date.
KI was pretty hype for actually watching a Top 8 of it. It was pretty cool to be there in the front, got to shake CDjr's hand after that GF win. EVO is an experience!
C.A.T. Robinson You're very welcome. I remember you and your lovely dog that day, it's great to hear from you. That was touching of you to open your heart and your home to her. If you want to talk about having her portrait drawn, please let me know. mgzaloom@gmail.com
Thanks for the upload! I was in the crowd for this one, but was a little disappointed. I wanted some more hype/clutch counter-breakers; the crowd was really thin, and I think this game needs some exceptional tournament hype before it gets the following its fan base wants.
So I have a question to those who understand these fighting tournaments more than I do. Like the 'EG' in Justin Wong's name and 'RG' in the other guys, is that like a crew or something similar to OpTic and FaZe? Like a group of people representing themselves as a group?
***** You can sorta say it's a sponsor though, the Team manager is the person who pays for the players to fly to tournaments or thats what the majority of teams do (idk of any who don't). So although its not a traditional sponsor, since you are advertising there "Team" and website/fanpages they compensate you.
Ok a few questions. One, is Killer Instinct a game with a set button to block? Two, I KOF a game with a set button? Three, which would you honestly recommend, KOF or Killer Instinct. Four, what do you personally, the replying person, think about the MK style of blocking, and is the "walk back" to block better or worse? Ive gotten very good at MK and Injustice so before MKX comes out, what fighting games might I buy? I dont plan on doing any tournaments.
Out of all of those games, Mortal Kombat is the only game with a block button. KoF Is my favorite fighting game, but I absolutely love Killer Instinct. May I suggest buying both? And I prefer the "hold back to block" over the block button mechanic. I love Mortal Kombat, but the block button negates the threat of cross-up attacks, which makes some situations a tad less interesting.
Id say Killer Instinct is "easier" when it comes to combos. Outside of the normal mind games you find in most fighting games, KoF has an EXTREME execution curve. Most combos are 2 framers and 3 framers, 3 types of jumps with a run system, 3 different meters to keep in check (Drive, Super, and Guard), etc etc. Both games are very fun, but I think KI is easier to pick up. So i would go with KI for now simply because it's scene is growing rapidly, whereas KoF XIII is slowly diminishing in the States at majors. It isn't even on the main stage of Evo this year. TL;DR KoF XIII- Cheaper, but harder to get into KI- A bit more expensive if you don't have Xbone, but easier to get into Both are equally fun once you understand the combat system
Ok, let me rephrase what I mean. I did say outside the mind games in most fighting games, KoF is harder. Meaning that execution with KoF is much harder than KI. The combo system is meant to be easy for anyone to pick up (outside of using manuals) but deep enough to sate experienced FGC players. The mind game of KI is one of the best featured in any fighting game, but once you get a combo going in that game, it's execution is easier than KoF which features very unique inputs and charge partitioning. Some characters you need to learn these concepts just to pick them up. KI is beginner friendly. Hence easier to get into. The hard stuff comes later.
I just got this game because i wanted to try a different fighter im more of a KOF person but i also play MK and a little bit of SF and there is only one problem i got with KI. How do you break a combo? I always tried but cant and also how do you prevent a combo breaker? Like i feel i coulve won a lot of my matches if it wasnt for the damn combo breakers
You have to get used to knowing every character's normals. Breakers go like this; you get hit by normals in a combo that vary on strength (light, meduim, heavy). Lights are fast, mediums are meh, heavies are slow. Press the same strength button(s) the exact moment your opponent hits you with that normal. It doesnt matter which normal it is, just the same strength.
MLG ScizorZ Neither Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter had a true combo system. They both tried to follow in Killer Instinct's foot steps and add their own.
Xatu McTacoBell I don't think he would need to buy a One stick since EG has Razer for their sponsor. Heck, he even did an ad for the Razer Atrox: th-cam.com/video/BZTT00BxxsQ/w-d-xo.html
If you haven't figured out by now: It was an exploit that was patched soon after the tournament. I hear the only opportunity to break it is somewhere right on the first hit since it was registered as an opener. Damn shame, this was used to win a tournament. smdh
Anything is workable, but many inputs are much easier on a stick. Then beyond that, all inputs are easier and more precise on a hitbox once you get used to it.
The best player at street fighter 4 in Na uses a controller instead of fight stick. it's personal pref. Although its general said atleast street fighter wise, that controller players play completely different and are more aggressive then stick players. Not sure if same could be said about KI bcuz justin is a footsy sabre player.
Fighting game curses, or just lan event curses in general, where the finals arent as good as the matches up to that point because of a very bad stomp, it's never fun to see every game close until the last where its very one sided and one player seems to not enjoy themselves because of it. OR No fight in fighting games will ever be like the justin wong vs diago street fighter match in 04, that match is the meaning of hype and will never be topped sadly.
iiasylumii Yeah, I think that Glacius vs Sabrewulf match between Rico Suave and Justin Wong was the best match of the tournament. To see Rico Suave get beaten easily by CDjr right after that amazing fight was kind of a disappointment to the audience.
RocketMan365 Who? AcidGlow? I'm not so sure about him. I don't think anyone has seen him play against anyone "significant" (at least I haven't). Though I will admit that he has, like, no bad days when it comes to this game.
They probably do stuff like that in the money matches that happen post tournament. I would like to see a tournament of nothing but random character selections.
Navi ivan You could say that about alot of games including the fact that street fighter 5 isnt going to be on xbox but on ps4, or the bloodbourne being on ps only also. Consoles want to be the ones to own Ip's on games that are going to be easy to get a fanbase for bcuz after all this, it's about them selling more consoles etc.
I am not that used to watch KI fights but.. that Thunder seems to have too many range on his attacks. They hit very very far compared to the others'. And the roster in this game is pretty low.

fancy seeing you here aha
What an inspiring reaction at the end by CD Jr, it is always great to see someone win that cares so much
I'm happy any time someone is that touched by achieving a goal they have set for themselves.
dude, I've never played killer instinct but even if admit that that ullltrrrraaaaaaaa combo sound is the most epic and satisfying effect in video games to date.
KI was pretty hype for actually watching a Top 8 of it. It was pretty cool to be there in the front, got to shake CDjr's hand after that GF win. EVO is an experience!
Normally I find mirror matches boring, but the double Saberwolf match with Justin and MyGod was amazingly brutal and tense!! Loved it!
Reminds me if my post teen years, 3 good songs that makes me reminisce on good times
Thanks so much. Top hype moments don't mean that much to me out of their context, and for me this entire viewing was extremely exciting!!

1:06:07
Pretty E: My muscles are bigger than yours, just remember that!
Rico Suave: Nigga, this aint the time..
42:50. Those comebacks is why I love KI!
Thanks for the upload! I was in the crowd for this one, but was a little disappointed. I wanted some more hype/clutch counter-breakers; the crowd was really thin, and I think this game needs some exceptional tournament hype before it gets the following its fan base wants.
If this game was on more platforms, and had a bigger cast, I think it would be one of the most popular fighting games.
*****
The only reason I don't play it is because I'd have to get an Xbone.
6 combo- ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The music in Jago's stage is just so hype!
Jwong coming in as an underdog in KI and did really well
Ty for upload.
I Would Love to get into this Game.
thanks for the upload! great stuff :)
the hype is real first time ive ever seen someone cry when the won
we may not even get evo this year, but i will always have my man Max commenatating KI on the main stage
KI is back at EVO 2020, but for online
Justin Wong is just SO excited...;)
Max should've entered he's pretty BEAST at this game, with pretty much everyone Especially fulgore and glacius
canah1 He did enter and lost in pools. I was there so I know :)
So I have a question to those who understand these fighting tournaments more than I do. Like the 'EG' in Justin Wong's name and 'RG' in the other guys, is that like a crew or something similar to OpTic and FaZe? Like a group of people representing themselves as a group?
Pretty much, it means they are sponsored
yeah its their sponsors.
***** You can sorta say it's a sponsor though, the Team manager is the person who pays for the players to fly to tournaments or thats what the majority of teams do (idk of any who don't). So although its not a traditional sponsor, since you are advertising there "Team" and website/fanpages they compensate you.
Yeah it's a sponsor EG JWONG is evil gaming
***** huh I thought it was gaming
Does anyone know where Pretty E got his sick-ass Orchid shirt? I want it so badly.
He made it for himself
Geez every tournament I c justin Wong how many games foes he play
That was awesome!!!!! Great players!!!!!
Justin Wong vs MyGod Best match of EVO 2014

Play what you want
KoF and KI are completely different games in every aspect. It's really pretty useless to compare them.
Out of all of those games, Mortal Kombat is the only game with a block button. KoF Is my favorite fighting game, but I absolutely love Killer Instinct. May I suggest buying both?
And I prefer the "hold back to block" over the block button mechanic. I love Mortal Kombat, but the block button negates the threat of cross-up attacks, which makes some situations a tad less interesting.

Zion Wade Yea I was finally able to figure it out thanks someone told me to go to dojo mode and there I finally found out how to do it
If Mortal Kombat and street fighter had kids
MLG ScizorZ the great story telling of mk mixed with the fast impactful fighting of street fighter - yeah not suprised this is such a great series.
MLG ScizorZ Neither Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter had a true combo system. They both tried to follow in Killer Instinct's foot steps and add their own.
Does Justin use a pad for every firghter? Why is he using a pad for KI?
He usually uses stick, but he says he prefers playing Sabrewulf with a pad because all of his commands are either "back, forward" or "down, up".
***** I figured it was because sticks for One are expensive as shit, but Wong wins so many tournaments it's gotta be his living at this point
Xatu McTacoBell I don't think he would need to buy a One stick since EG has Razer for their sponsor. Heck, he even did an ad for the Razer Atrox:
th-cam.com/video/BZTT00BxxsQ/w-d-xo.html
how do sadira players pull of the same move over and over like at 9:30??? and why wasnt justin breaking it??
If you haven't figured out by now: It was an exploit that was patched soon after the tournament. I hear the only opportunity to break it is somewhere right on the first hit since it was registered as an opener.
Damn shame, this was used to win a tournament. smdh
WhiteKnitter You can still do it though. It's just jump canceling in instinct. And it ain't exactly easy to do.
So basically a quick up followed by down, forward, punch? Damn.. And I can't even run cancel with spinal instinct very well.
I agree though it's a shame that it was used to win EVO, hopefully this year is all patched up and ready for good clean play.
It's a legitimate tactic and so easy to drop.
They won't ever patch this as it's just part of her instinct.
Justin Wong played with an Xbox One controller? I don't much about this so someone enlighten me: isn't that worse than a fight stick?
eh. It's all in personal playstyle. Some of the best players out there use pad. They just feel more comfortable with it
Anything is workable, but many inputs are much easier on a stick. Then beyond that, all inputs are easier and more precise on a hitbox once you get used to it.

which is the difference beetween ki 2015 and 2014? please someone help!
+Jxcob Reinoso Season 2 characters like cinder, tJ combo, riptor, etc.
How the hell do you run into three DP's in a row?
Damn, the crowd was silent after the final round. What was up with that?
Fighting game curses, or just lan event curses in general, where the finals arent as good as the matches up to that point because of a very bad stomp, it's never fun to see every game close until the last where its very one sided and one player seems to not enjoy themselves because of it.

A arena do fulgure e muito foda.
Maximillian looks like my nana
Whos the dude that Maximillian Dude commentating with?
filthierich
That is Filthie Rich. KIs community manager.
+MK Posthuman That's a shame. His commentary needs some work.
Rico Suave is from?
He is Dominican!
thanks for info
how do you say this game
The DOOD is here!!
Love it
That was dope ngl
thanks man
If I recall.... this game was a lot bloodier?
I thought so too.. Considering KI and KI2 is rated M..
+iNguyenn usually in tournament play, they turn down/off the blood to reduce lag and also increase visibility of the fight
Can somebody tell me how and where I can get this game?
It's free only on the Xbox One
You have to pay for characters though if you want a main.
Only downside about the game ^
Still better than releasing a whole new game with the same mechanics over and over again.
MAXIMILLION AINT PLAYIN??!!
Nah, man. Even though he would just go "str8 rekt" on everyone's asses, he's not playing.
machinimamarlon Acid shoulda been in this too.
RocketMan365 Who? AcidGlow? I'm not so sure about him. I don't think anyone has seen him play against anyone "significant" (at least I haven't). Though I will admit that he has, like, no bad days when it comes to this game.
machinimamarlon Yeah he's the reason why i like Jago so much.
***** I dont know about all that, but yeah he's good.
#JustinWongSmashBros
Mainly because I didn't know he was just a fighting game champ in general till now
A. Maximilian is the man
B. Why are half of Killer Instinct players jacked?
Dude Ikr like Rico 😂
9:26 The beginning of the most beautiful Sadira I've ever seen
they should make it compulsory for players to choose different characters for different sets. so we see whos the most wholesome KI player.
They probably do stuff like that in the money matches that happen post tournament. I would like to see a tournament of nothing but random character selections.
Damn throws.
36:36 Dio? The fuck are you doing there?
Cool
Why does Chief Thunder aged so much and orchid didn't age!
Look up rayraymonky ns he is the best thunder in the world 7 time tournament Champion
if ownly rare was an company by itself so killer instinct could be on the playstation systems :'(
still a bummer they wouldve made heaps more if it was also on ps4
Navi ivan You could say that about alot of games including the fact that street fighter 5 isnt going to be on xbox but on ps4, or the bloodbourne being on ps only also. Consoles want to be the ones to own Ip's on games that are going to be easy to get a fanbase for bcuz after all this, it's about them selling more consoles etc.
Yeah exactly
I bet this Game has an Awesome Story Mode.
Huh, I see no hate in this community...
UGH, the video quality T_T
Its a double dash!
I am not that used to watch KI fights but.. that Thunder seems to have too many range on his attacks. They hit very very far compared to the others'. And the roster in this game is pretty low.
No fulgore, no spinal, yea that's wack
i saw fulgore from rico
как это может быть интересным? бои абсолютно статичны, игроки просто делают комбинации по очереди, побеждает тот, кто берет волка. бредятина.
This game of shit that will compete with Street Fighter V.
Your english is shit
worst KI ever game
