      Anyone know where that fan art is from? I miss the oldschool KI. I don't like the modern Microsoft KI, it's too Americanized. I prefer the British Marvel comics look that KI 1 & 2 character designs had.

    I have to say that Killer Instinct had amazing presentation that just drew you into playing the game.
    It was 50p a go or 3 plays for £1 much more than what I was used to paying 10p per play on Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo but it was worth it I loved the game.

  • @rayfincham1595

    It’s amazing what devs can do when they actually take pride in their work and concentrate and aren’t rushed. KI looks better than MK on Gameboy. Still amazing that KI on the SNES was as impressive as it was.

    My favorite fighting series ever. The newest one on XBox One is really friggin awesome despite having been out for years it still looks Great Plus you can get the game for free with Jago as the permanently free character. Once i tried it i bought the thing to get access to the rest of the roster.... It's probably cheaper now to buy a physical copy if you can, unless the full digital version is on sale

    I didn't catch all of it but I rarely see mentioned some of the Arcade KI glitches. You could drag down the CPU (or something) with a janky Glacius Combo. Something like HeadBut Heavy Kick linking into a combo that ended with his light strength fireball. You could go get a drink and come back after doing this combo it dragged so long. Which I did a few times.

      @Lucifer In Hell KI is a fun game but I don't know if I'd say better than both MK and SF honestly but it's definitely a classic but hey to each his own man. I was annoyed that KI 2013 took out the finishers that the previous games had. A lot of people want to see MK vs KI since KI is probably one of the few gaming series that is nearly as dark and gritty as MK, not many games are lol since MK is hardcore these days like even more than the 90's.

    Those KI2 character models look really similar to how the Primal Rage 2 characters look in the unreleased build of the game.

    When compared to other fighting games on the Playstation from 1995 or 1996, Killer Instinct Gold looks very good in comparison. 3D arenas with neat polygonal graphics instead of flat bitmap panoramas like in Tekken 2. The silicon graphics character models still look unique when compared to low polygon models of Tekken 2. And the fast paced arcade style fighting mechanics are still something to be seen. Maybe some people could not make any sense of silicon character models set in polygon arenas? I don't know. That is nothing my mind couldn't handle.
