      The superior graphics, special effects, sound effects and unique character line up
      and even animations are what made the first one so great. They definitely got kI right the first time. It was like every great fighting game rolled in one. I agree the 3rd kI missed the mark on a lot of things. It had the worst graphics out of all the next gen fighters. No stage Enders and horrible ultimates. They need another kI that reintroduces everything that made kI great. The game needs a graphic overhaul more than anything

I had already played it once but didnt know what magic this game had in store till he just whooped my ass and I was in awe... like wayaminute..how tf you just do all that. He then showed me and I ran with it!!! Played from time I got up till I went to bed and even on work days I'd come home on my lunch break with my buddy and play!!

    I still remember playing KI in the arcade when I first discovered Chief Thunders 999 hit combo. I could start from one side then constant air pop till they're trapped in the corner. The game doesn't end till they hit the ground so I would destroy a single person for 10 minutes while others laughed. Nowadays they would get offended, give the other guy a participation trophy while he screams at the sky, identifies as a woman and then cries in the his/her/it's safe space with crayons.

This is the first game that I ever played and ever had on Super Nintendo at 3 years old! I randomly found out everyone's moves with no internet or anything! I became amazing in this game with everyone! I play the other ones as well yet I personally enjoy KI 1 the best overall! From the characters, danger moves, ultras, combo breakers, shadow moves, doing moves faster for more points and damage! I can go on and on about KI! Also a couple fighting games ripped off of KI or just added their own spins to it as well lol!
