One of the only games I had zero information on back in the day and would be so happy just trying to figure it out. Sometimes I would get Fulgore to do his fatality where his head turns into a machine gun and have no idea how to do it again. Such good times.
Brought back great memories watching this. The Killer Instinct soundtrack alone is still to this day, Epic. This didn't have quite as much impact in the Arcade as the MK franchise did, but it was a strong 2nd. Spinal was always my go to character, but truth be told, most of the characters were fun play.
I think the combo system turned a lot of people off. However I don’t know what it is about this comment but you just struck a nostalgic chord and when I close my eyes I see Super Street Fighter 2, Revolution X, Terminator 2, Killer Instinct, and Mortal Kombat 2 in a row as this was the setup at my local arcade for a short while and I just realized I need Rev X and T-2 to completely relive my greatest years growing up lol
Wow man. This bought back so many memories. I've been loving your MK vids too, and you got me onto Mortal Jason as well who has helped my game. Love you keeping all this alive and appreciate your continued efforts ❤
Thank you a lot my friend that’s awesome! And thanks for checking out Mortal Jason, he’s a great guy and incredible at MK2 and UMK3. I appreciate the kind comment this world needs more people like you 👊🏼 have a great day!
I always liked Killer Instinct more then Mortal Kombat growing up. The combo system always felt rewarding. Getting that 48 hit ultra with Orchad always felt real good.
@@BushyStallion Lol same. I think I could still play Orchad well but I've forgotten how to play literally everyone else. I remember Jago's system being weird. Starting his moves on diaganols always messed with me.
When I first saw the “orchid reveal” in the arcade, I laughed so hard!.(orchid revealing on orchid was great!) And, it was like almost mandatory to do the reveal on Jago, her brother. I’m saving up for this arcade1up version.such great memories!
Enjoyed the playthrough. Orchid was one of my go-to characters. I remember trying that exact combo on Eyedol so many times on Super Nintendo and he would combo break it every time. So frustrating!
Seems like you’re pretty competent. Unleash it on the online community. For sure the best way to learn is against a human . Looking forward to the online matches this week
Definitely have to try online and see where I sit. I do wanna get slightly familiar with every character first so I can play random and be half decent with everyone. It’ll happen soon 👊🏼
I played with Orchid as a kid on the SNES and Spinal, really great game, Rare put out all the hits those days, I wonder if David Wise did the soundtrack for this one too.
Man Ochid was my girl. Always thought there was no more advanced fighting game then KI for years. I was frustrated by the fact that games like Tekken 2/3, Soul Edge or Virtua fighter was taking so much of the spotlight when a game such as KI existed in 94. TOP TOP Game!!
I agree my friend. I DID like Tekken 3 and that actually got me started on the 3D fighters… a little. But I never liked Virtua Fighter, ever and I remember it pissed me off at the arcade seeing THAT instead of KI lol
I remember playing this at a buddies house and it was only a matter of time that someone would be cursing and throwing a controller because of a combo that wouldn't let the other person get up and people would go nuts😂
The short combos are always either A) Unbreakable. Or B) Short because the damage scaling makes the risk to reward no longer in your favor since the combo breaker will do more damage to you than what a few more hits will do to them. The majority of combo damage happens right at the start. This was something KI3 addressed. In that game, you do damage and POTENTIAL damage. Only once you do an Ender, do you get the potential damage you built up. So the risk becomes more like stocks. Sell now or wait?
@@BushyStallion KI3 as in the game from 2013 that they just called "KILLER INSTINCT". In the same way the 2011 saw "MORTAL KOMBAT" which we dubbed MK9. These naming conventions suck. The 2023 MK1 is the cherry on top.
@@GlaciusXL ahhh ok I didn’t know that. I actually bought an Xbox One over a PS4 BECAUSE it had a new KI game exclusively. Unfortunately I didn’t play it much. While I do think it’s awesome, I could never get the hang of it. And graphically there was SO much going on screen I found that it was hard to follow.
That’s pretty much what I try to do at least in my live streams. Key word “try” it gets pretty hectic playing and chatting and remembering all the moves etc
Awesome bro, I still remember when I played the snes version with the black cartridge. Great memories of waking up and playing this game
Gonna have to revisit that version cause it was pretty epic for sure 👊🏼

I forgot about that! I’ll do it for a short, and shoutout BobbyDirt for reminding me lol 👊🏼

@BushyStallion LOL hey, glad my comment could spark Nostalgia, bro. It's what I live for.
Orchid went to some back alley plastic surgeon in Thailand who injected cement into her chest.
I heard that also! Lol
WHEN ORCHID GETS KNOCKED DOWN SHE CAN QUICKLY GET UP BY DOING A SPING KICK (← → + MK/FK)

You know, if you felt like playing more KI 1 or 2, I don’t think many folks would complain 🤔
Well, I will definitely be playing through with every character in both games so, no problem there 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion nice!
I always liked Killer Instinct more then Mortal Kombat growing up. The combo system always felt rewarding. Getting that 48 hit ultra with Orchad always felt real good.
I have a lot to relearn my friend lol
@@BushyStallion Lol same. I think I could still play Orchad well but I've forgotten how to play literally everyone else. I remember Jago's system being weird. Starting his moves on diaganols always messed with me.
I like the game but I struggle to pull off the ultras
The control panel on that cabinet looks beautiful
I wasn’t a fan until I started coordinating with the characters clothes 😂
Really enjoy the videos so relaxing to watch you play. KI is the first fighting game i ever played on SNES and i still dont know how to combos LOL.
Me neither 😂 thanks for watching though I appreciate it 👊🏼
13:48
Doing an Ultra Combo to knock someone off the stage is the most satisfying way to win a fight.
The animation afterwords reminds me of the animation when I get a strike at a bowling alley 😂
😂😂 great comparison!

I’m gonna have to do that on both characters again just to see what you mean lol stay tuned I’ll post it tonight and give you a shout out 👊🏼
Another game that means so much to me. Thank you.
Maybe you could teach me how to play half decent? Lol
Killer Instinct was my favorite right behind mortal kombat. Thanks for the playthrough!
MK2 and then Killer Instinct and Street Fighter 2 tie in my opinion 👊🏼
You made killing Idol so easy, great game play, thank you!
Did I? I don’t remember but Eyedol is the bane of my existence lol
@@BushyStallion Yes exactly, I only could defeat Eyedol with Eyedol.
Great Video 👊 Looking forward towards seeing you livestream this Wednesday 👍
Thanks bro 👊🏼
ULLLLTRAAAAA COMBOOOOOOOO‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️
Enjoyed the playthrough. Orchid was one of my go-to characters. I remember trying that exact combo on Eyedol so many times on Super Nintendo and he would combo break it every time. So frustrating!
>:D Maahnnnsterrr Comboh! Is my favorite announcer voice clip!
Thank you for this video!
Much more where this came from 👊🏼

I really dig the graphics in this game, still looks awesome!
Agreed. Timeless graphics that always satisfy that nostalgic itch 👊🏼

If my muscle memory is correct, she can start up a ton of combos from back hard kick into one of her specials.
Gotta see that fullgore gameplay soon

You should definitely do a ki 2 playthtough u saw it there on the games list haha
Absolutely, will do 👊🏼
KI Humiliation is like MK friendship 🤔
Absolutely 👍🏼

Lol definitely an expletive inducing game back in the day lol

Cinder next 🔥
Any interest in doing like a Q&A video while you play one of these arcades?
That’s pretty much what I try to do at least in my live streams. Key word “try” it gets pretty hectic playing and chatting and remembering all the moves etc
I posted a link on how to upgrade to Happ sticks and buttons . If you’re planning on the mod
Where’s the link?
@@BushyStallion my previous comment
Which scanlines do you prefer?
Just the regular scanlines on. I find the CRT setting makes the picture look too bland.
She reveals herself, yeah this was a 90s game, that wouldnt be allowed in todays games.
Probably not. I don’t understand the things we censor now and the things we don’t. Everything is messed up.
@@BushyStallion Everything is messed up, I agree.
👀
Looks trash compared to MK
Remember that time you played mortal kombat?
