Everytime Raam stabs someone I immediately go "Hey it's Minh" or "Hey it's Valera" then have a small chuckle to myself as a small tear falls down my face
Ice OP is saying that it's odd that a fighting game would serve as a crossover for two non-fighting game franchises. I'm pointing out that it isn't so odd because that has happened multiple times before, and not just with Smash, but with Sony Allstars too.
Naw man. OP's clearly saying it's weird that the crossover between Halo and Gears of War specifically is in a fighting game. It's right there, you can read it.
A part of me is really glad Raam is in the game now that I know he is a grappler. Outside of zoning like Glacius, Grapplers are my bread and butter. His colors, size and scale, pace and animations are a warm welcome in my opinion, and I am looking forward to him than I was to Arbiter. (Never thought I'd say that in m life)
Raam is kinda like what Darth Vader was in the original Star Wars movies. Badass looking and killed one important dude. But other than that did pretty much nothing LOL well in the context of gears of war 1 and Star Wars 4-6 I know they both had amazing backstories.
I'm unfamiliar with Gears of War, so I didn't appreciate how MASSIVE Raam is until I saw the Thunder match. Thunder is already a huge guy! Raam is a damn MONSTER!
KennEH Better than Pasbr is debatable. Rock papers scissors with marvel length combos times 2 vs 4 player stage brawler with a diverse cast of 24 roster from year 1 oppose to ki's 3 year roster of 26.
Garmr There is a lot of factors of why a game isn't at Evo. Mechanics weren't bad. it was a good game with missed opportunity and not that great of a push behind it.
I enjoy this style of video way more than your usual vids. I mean, do you know how many times i wanted to see the facial reactions when you get hype af!!!! It's just way more fun too tbh.
Max. I like how you switched your video image to the center. If you add a greenscreen to your room, and then fade away the background behind you, so your image is in the game. It would be fun looking at you guys playing in Maya's stage, or getting your ass kicked in the rain at thunders stage. Just a idea. I like your channel. Cheers
It was so annoying in the chat last night. Everyone started off saying this character is boring, he's out of place, and why him instead of Skorge. But when Max landed a 70%-90% combo damage, everyone was saying "OMG he is so strong and badass. Please nerf him." I mean really, make up your mind. imo he is badass and I'm glad they added a grappler in this game. We don't always need flashy characters.
Would it be cool if Arbiters race and G. Rams Race were to go to war in a spin off comic book or movie. No humans at all so they dont have to explain way they look different for both races. Watching them fight was pretty cool imo
putting in all the weapons and troops that would be pretty crazy but says how 1 man was able to take out the whole covenant i think g wars would win x'D
The Egg Haven't played all the games for both of em so i didn't know that. I guess that would be why humans don't exist cause The Locus destroyed them. The Covenant could be like oh humans died off lets take another crack on taking over earth again lol.
The Covenant would just glass the planet, but the Locust live underground, so the Covenant would have to take the fight to the Locust. Now, taking into account of each side's weapons, I'd have to say that the Covenant would win only because of their shielding systems, and plasma weaponry.
Adam is not bad everyone if you are good at this game you can make him one of the best guys I've gotten 95% with instinct on two bars it's insane 70% one bar 60% no bar ive gotten him rn in the top 1k in the world and can push hard even more this character is amazing
he needs a projectile attack with the bats that pull the enemys toward him or pushes them away but the only way is if there is space behind the other player since he seems to be an up close and personal fighter thus keeping players cornered or in his range But i doubt dood will relay this info to the developers.
NO THIS IS XBOX ONLY AND ANYTHING RARE RELATED MUST BE SHOVED IN HERE CAPSLOCK. But seriously, any more additions to Killer Instinct are all advertisement to other XBOne titles.
RAAM looks like he feels like a ton of fun to play. I do think he could benefit from a smoother victory animation when his Instinct is active. As it is the Kryll stop just before he raises his arm and then start flying again, which feels a little wonky.
Just a minor suggestion, for a new character in the first week of (or online match set), you should include a match where you let the full ultra play out.
no its fucking bullshit i hate this character i find that he adds nothing to the KI lore and I hate all this shit on screen. Seriously, they fucked up! And this is coming from a die hard KI fan.
I still think the Locust dude from the second game with the duel chainsaw staff and dreadlocks should have (or maybe some day) been the character to put in this game but oh well
the irony that the two charactera from shooters are two of the nost complex characters. raam, gargos, mira, and arbiter are all very hard to use. even kim wu is hard to get a hold of
KI was Xbox exclusive and it made sense to add 2 characters that were also Xbox exclusives Arbiter from Halo and Raam from Gears of War and both franchises are also Exclusives
How many more characters will be released for season 3? 1 or 2? Seasons 1 and 2 both had 9 characters each, and Raam is the 7th character of season 3, right? So there should be two left. But I'm asking because the questionmark/random character spot on the character select screen fits nicely now and the character select screen could look weird if they have two more characters. I guess they could move it to the top. But the last character should be EYEDOL!!
from what I saw in this vid, I think max should work the kryll enders more and let them do their job. Force your opponent to come to you. I'm still learning with RAAM but I have to say that the kryll really help out since they do real damage when they're on you.
MAX!!! Ed boon said today that he is interested in doing a Mk/ki game for the next Mk game. He said if so then it will be exclusive to xboxone and it would be something for the fans because he is a very big fan of KI as whole
Please respond: Can I still buy the Dante bread and butter shirt? Because I cannot find it anywhere. I really need one that fits me now. I was 14 when I bought it and it's skin tight on me. :'(
playing raam is badass as hell but I do have to say I landed a 80% percent combo on someone, I was blown away on how much raam can dish out I'm thinking of putting him as my secondary right next while tusk as my main or as a pocket character right next to gracious. what does anybody else think of raam ?
When he hits enemies with certain attacks the bats attach to them, and this causes a tiny amount of damage over time to the opponent. They go away if he Raam gets hit. The screen covering swarm camouflages Raam's mix-ups and passively add potential damage to the opponent's life bar.
He's from the first game and that Swarm is the Krill. Think of em like piranha bats. He used them to pretty much wipe out 60% of humanity on Emergence Day.
I just realized how freakin' huge Raam is as soon as I saw him next to Thunder
Lol hes almost as tall as Aganos
I seen i vs abriter elite are supposed to be over 7 feet tall
+Rohan Kishibe Damn son never really paid attention to their height until I saw raam
lol you should see him next to kim wu
+Leafninjaninja Ikr
Everytime Raam stabs someone I immediately go "Hey it's Minh" or "Hey it's Valera" then have a small chuckle to myself as a small tear falls down my face
Who would've ever thought a fighting game would be the first place we see Halo and GoW crossover?
Smash Bros was the first crossover for a lot of non-fighting game franchises too.
Thanks, but that's beside the point.
+Mordalon That literally has nothing to do with what the OP was talking about.
Ice OP is saying that it's odd that a fighting game would serve as a crossover for two non-fighting game franchises. I'm pointing out that it isn't so odd because that has happened multiple times before, and not just with Smash, but with Sony Allstars too.
Naw man. OP's clearly saying it's weird that the crossover between Halo and Gears of War specifically is in a fighting game. It's right there, you can read it.
I look forward to killer instinct's next character: Forza Motorsports Car
That's dumb. It's obviously King K. Rool.
+Darchus08 I thought they would have brought wolf back
Lmao, you need more likes. XD
Fighters Megamix on Saturn had an actual car from Daytona. It's not too far fetched lol
I thought it was supposed to be Steve from minecraft?
A part of me is really glad Raam is in the game now that I know he is a grappler. Outside of zoning like Glacius, Grapplers are my bread and butter. His colors, size and scale, pace and animations are a warm welcome in my opinion, and I am looking forward to him than I was to Arbiter. (Never thought I'd say that in m life)
Personally, I am a rushdown and grappler user.
When RAAM has toast for breakfast, does he put JAAM on it?
Does he frequently visit his MAAM at the old folk's home?
Is his favorite animal the CLAAM?
Sigh XD
His favorite movie is Son of Saam
Please cease and desist.
He hates internet SPAAM
ALLAHU AKBAR BAAM
Even Thunder is like "Overdoing with the crows a bit, aren't you?".
Those aren't crows.
Sure, but does Thunder know that?
+TheRogueWolf probably
In the PC version they're much more obviously large insects, so I suppose that depends on Thunder's preference of gaming device.
You obviously dont know anything about gears of war. Those are not crows😂
"Hey Raam, who is your favorite DBZ character?"
"Definately Kryllin."
Eh? EH?!
Rosencrantz&Guildenstern I see what you did there!
Wonder what The Cole Train wouldve been like in this game.
he has two moves "the sack" and "wholegrain". the sack is an opener linker and ender while wholegrain that makes him instakill the oppenent
+sean unknown my grammar was attrocious jeez and i meant to say buff
WELCOME TO THE COLE TRAIN, BABY!
so raam is from gears
Im in the zone BABY!
General Raam is so much fun to play as especially using the Kryll effectively thus making him a terror to fight against.
Raam is kinda like what Darth Vader was in the original Star Wars movies. Badass looking and killed one important dude. But other than that did pretty much nothing LOL well in the context of gears of war 1 and Star Wars 4-6 I know they both had amazing backstories.
Kinda like Boba Fett, as well. Super cool, didn't do much. lol
In GOW Raam's Shadow, he was more important kinda.
Welcome to Microsoft All-Stars Battle Royale.
Better than Sony's.
Super Instinct Bros.
I was waiting for this, thanks for uploading RAAM gameplay Max!! :)
It's pronounced, "rom" so technically it should read "General RAAM goes HOM"
Raam is really awesome to watch. Nothing more satisfying than seeing him stomp on the opponent.
I'm unfamiliar with Gears of War, so I didn't appreciate how MASSIVE Raam is until I saw the Thunder match. Thunder is already a huge guy! Raam is a damn MONSTER!
Man, RAAM's curbstomp are vicious.
RAAM actually WAS my starting character, and honestly, he's really good for beginners, as long as they know how to keep range
Hey Max i wanted to ask if you would ever do like a your top ten KI characters videos? Maybe after Luigi drops? idk just wanted to ask.
which liugi i cant figure out which one
marios brother?
Haha very funny
sean unknown the very same
+sean unknown Lol... went waaaay over your head
X box finally got Gears of war vs Halo. I'm happy for them, combining their two only IPs into one.
KennEH Better than Pasbr is debatable. Rock papers scissors with marvel length combos times 2 vs 4 player stage brawler with a diverse cast of 24 roster from year 1 oppose to ki's 3 year roster of 26.
pasbr is a shit version of smash bro. The mechanics are awful why don't you think you see it at evo.
Better than Street Fighter 5s two modes and unbalanced shit.
Chris Grabenhorst That's VERY opinion based statement. But what's so unbalanced about SFV? (Besides Gief)
Garmr There is a lot of factors of why a game isn't at Evo. Mechanics weren't bad.
it was a good game with missed opportunity and not that great of a push behind it.
For some reason, I find the fact of being able to see a fight between RAAM and the Arbiter really awesome.
Raam's command grab makes me think of Boondocks cause of that one episode when there was a song literally called, "Stomp'em in the nuts", lmao.
With Aganos, Gargos, Arbiter, and now Raam, there are a lot of really tall characters in KI now. They're like 1.5-2x as large.
It does seem wierd in a way that itsn't too good. Mira, Kim Wu, and Cinder fighting these dudes is odd looking
*****
Arby and Raam are the only reasons I keep playing this game. I can't believe they didn't add more.
*****
but yet you are...
+Antichrist2000 there are 3 guest characters get your life together
I enjoy this style of video way more than your usual vids. I mean, do you know how many times i wanted to see the facial reactions when you get hype af!!!! It's just way more fun too tbh.

Just a idea.
I like your channel.
Cheers
General Raam: Rash's angry grandpa.
*Brutally stomped* "SUBMIT." Oh yes daddy.
...😦
I forgot how thick characters were in Gears of War. Damn that's a big boy.
I haven't played KI in ages, pretty cool to see the OG Raam in the game
It was so annoying in the chat last night. Everyone started off saying this character is boring, he's out of place, and why him instead of Skorge. But when Max landed a 70%-90% combo damage, everyone was saying "OMG he is so strong and badass. Please nerf him." I mean really, make up your mind. imo he is badass and I'm glad they added a grappler in this game. We don't always need flashy characters.
This is why the fighting community is cancer.
Lol smash bros is full of that, one thing to remember when it comes to fighting games never look at chats or comments, ur head just may explode
Stefan Crow Mostly it's a bunch of crybabies whining about how this character should have been in or how the roster is too small.
+Nikita Ivachtchenko and the highly requested character never gets played because they're not top tier or they got unfairly nerfed
Stefan Crow I know, right? that's SFV's Alex in a nutshell.
"Better off starting with Sabrewulf or Jago"? I started off with Sadira on the basis I liked the character.
Would it be cool if Arbiters race and G. Rams Race were to go to war in a spin off comic book or movie. No humans at all so they dont have to explain way they look different for both races. Watching them fight was pretty cool imo
putting in all the weapons and troops that would be pretty crazy but says how 1 man was able to take out the whole covenant i think g wars would win x'D
The Egg Haven't played all the games for both of em so i didn't know that. I guess that would be why humans don't exist cause The Locus destroyed them. The Covenant could be like oh humans died off lets take another crack on taking over earth again lol.
The Covenant could glass the planet, but the Locust live underground so....
+Solaris locust live in the planet sera not in planet earth, but i love locust but i don't think the locust can beat the covenant :(
The Covenant would just glass the planet, but the Locust live underground, so the Covenant would have to take the fight to the Locust. Now, taking into account of each side's weapons, I'd have to say that the Covenant would win only because of their shielding systems, and plasma weaponry.
"i dont know if he's reacting to them because i dont even know im doing mediums." accurate
It's like they put Zangief in a fighting game.
Zangeif is already in a fighting game
wow smh
ye....yeah...
You do know zangief right?
I actually prefer the stream footage, Max. I like seeing your face during the matches.
Adam is not bad everyone if you are good at this game you can make him one of the best guys I've gotten 95% with instinct on two bars it's insane 70% one bar 60% no bar ive gotten him rn in the top 1k in the world and can push hard even more this character is amazing
Raam

It would be cool if they added spawn
Would that make any sense though?
+210ds More sense than Rash
NO THIS IS XBOX ONLY AND ANYTHING RARE RELATED MUST BE SHOVED IN HERE CAPSLOCK.
But seriously, any more additions to Killer Instinct are all advertisement to other XBOne titles.
+ChikoWhat Given permission from his creator, I could see Spawn getting in KI. He was Xbox exclusive all the way back in Soul Calibur 2, after all.
Spawn is more likely to be in Injustice 2.
watching RAAM do dropkicks is so funny for some reason lmao
cool seeing myself at the first match of the game. thanks for the matches dood.
Loving the little screenshot of you playing :)
RAAM looks like he feels like a ton of fun to play. I do think he could benefit from a smoother victory animation when his Instinct is active. As it is the Kryll stop just before he raises his arm and then start flying again, which feels a little wonky.
Just a minor suggestion, for a new character in the first week of (or online match set), you should include a match where you let the full ultra play out.
Is it even playable when 2 raams use instinct ?
Been there done that no the fuck it is not
+CourtCjbLand lmfao
Thanks for asking what everyone has on their mind
no its fucking bullshit i hate this character i find that he adds nothing to the KI lore and I hate all this shit on screen. Seriously, they fucked up! And this is coming from a die hard KI fan.
i watched this live. xD the surprise on his face when he found out raam's crossup is heavy punch lol.
By the holy gears, Raam looks amazing. such monster, much beauty
When Ham uses his Instinct, I can't see shit.
I still think the Locust dude from the second game with the duel chainsaw staff and dreadlocks should have (or maybe some day) been the character to put in this game but oh well
Well Raam was a memorable locust and a memorable boss fight
When Raam pops instinct, he yells, "WORLDSTAR!!!"
😂😂😂
the irony that the two charactera from shooters are two of the nost complex characters.
raam, gargos, mira, and arbiter are all very hard to use. even kim wu is hard to get a hold of
Raam vs Thunder: BOOTS. IN. FACES.
Why are Raam and Arbiter in Killer Instinct? What's next, Doritos and Mtn Dew as playable fighters?
KI was Xbox exclusive and it made sense to add 2 characters that were also Xbox exclusives Arbiter from Halo and Raam from Gears of War and both franchises are also Exclusives
Yeah Eyedol was a really badass in my pass.I love his ultra speed attacks!
maybe dumb question but when arbiter hits you with a grenade and he knows your gonna block hits, why not go for a grab?
Hey Max I've watched a lot of your videos of you fighting in KI so I have question. Why don't you compete in KI tournaments or EVO?
You can use Raam's instinct to get a 100% combo; it's not easy, but it can be done
I guess my match with him may come next episode or two.
No lie Max, I actually like the facecam in these videos XD
I know it's just stuff from the stream but, idk XD
I love seeing Raam doing a drop kick. So good.
How many more characters will be released for season 3? 1 or 2? Seasons 1 and 2 both had 9 characters each, and Raam is the 7th character of season 3, right? So there should be two left. But I'm asking because the questionmark/random character spot on the character select screen fits nicely now and the character select screen could look weird if they have two more characters. I guess they could move it to the top. But the last character should be EYEDOL!!
One more character left.
It's kinda crazy but I'd like to see Zeratul from StarCraft II even if they have to kill Arbiter
He dude, you are playing with an arcade joysick? and if so, how you configured the buttons? Which arcade joystick do you use?
when I saw raam. My brain was immediately filled with the words "hamster face"
Who else would love to see updated week of our day of videos for killer instinct? Characters besides Fulgore
I love dat A-town stomp that Raam has lmao.
THANKS MAX!! 👍🙌🙏
Getting that UMVC3 Nemesis vibe from Raam.
KI is just MS all stars
Next they'll add the kinectimals and Clippy with Bill Gates as Shao Kahn
from what I saw in this vid, I think max should work the kryll enders more and let them do their job. Force your opponent to come to you. I'm still learning with RAAM but I have to say that the kryll really help out since they do real damage when they're on you.
is it me or when raam's instinct is popped does it sound like he says 'Crestor'?
As a Tekken and guilty gear player how would the transition to this game be
MAX!!! Ed boon said today that he is interested in doing a Mk/ki game for the next Mk game. He said if so then it will be exclusive to xboxone and it would be something for the fans because he is a very big fan of KI as whole
Most ridiculous instinct ever
QUESTION: Who has the best theme song in the game?
For me, Aganos and Tusk.
What's next for a guest character. Trevor from Gta V?
there's only 1 empty character slot left at the character selection screen, i pray its eyedol...
When are we getting a PC version and where will that be releesed? Origin? Steam?
Wow. A lot of people in this comment section have no idea who Raam is or his origin. Really shows how small the Gears community is.
Please respond: Can I still buy the Dante bread and butter shirt? Because I cannot find it anywhere. I really need one that fits me now. I was 14 when I bought it and it's skin tight on me. :'(
I want you to know I bought KI because of you. And have been enjoying it a lot!
Baaaam...Philadelphia Collins loves General Raaaaaam
Whats the story behind Raams shadow thing
now all we need is Marcus and master chief on here and my life will be comeplete
playing raam is badass as hell but I do have to say I landed a 80% percent combo on someone, I was blown away on how much raam can dish out I'm thinking of putting him as my secondary right next while tusk as my main or as a pocket character right next to gracious.
what does anybody else think of raam ?
does he have Alex' jump roundhouse ?!.... lol
Ave Mcree yup, that one....
aka the sweet chin music! lol
Its sad that Thunder has a WAY more meaty curbstomp than Raam and Curb stomping is GOW's Schtick....
lots of big and tall characters in killer instinct now
Max is it u play this somuch cuz u work on it or worked on it
whaaaaat they added some gears action
Wassup Max? Good matches bro!
Damn. Raam moves like a fridge on springs.
Can someone explain what the swarm is suppose to do, the regular swarm & screen covering swarm.
When he hits enemies with certain attacks the bats attach to them, and this causes a tiny amount of damage over time to the opponent. They go away if he Raam gets hit. The screen covering swarm camouflages Raam's mix-ups and passively add potential damage to the opponent's life bar.
Natsu Oh ok cool Ty Natsu.
I like specials that chip @ Hp but I think camouflage skills are the lamest Fighting genre skills EVER
i might have a bit of trouble playing raam but hes a lot more user friendly than most of season 2
Max have you ever played Virtua Fighter
Kinda looks like you're playing Nemesis without Rocket Launcher. And crows. I like it!
is this gmae not on the ps4 because i cant seem to find it on playstation store
Issues recording? PC version? Use monitor capture
They gave him the stomp! THEY GAVE HIM THE STOMP!!
from some one who has barely played Gears of War which game is Raam from and does he have the swarm thing?
He's from the first game and that Swarm is the Krill. Think of em like piranha bats. He used them to pretty much wipe out 60% of humanity on Emergence Day.
+Super D Duper Alrighty then. thank you
Bro....this game get better and better with this newer characters they add in.
it starts to become the mascot fighter of microsoft, like smash bros and playstaion allstars
